Engineering in World of Warcraft: Forever

268 recipes in Forever, 62 of them (23%) new since Classic Era, reaching Dimensional Transporter - Mt. Hyjal, EZ and SAF Field Transporter: Mt. Hyjal, EZ-Thro Dark Bomb. What Engineering makes, what it buys, the cheapest way through each skill bracket, what of it sells, and every recipe with its reagents.

Engineering builds gadgets, explosives, scopes, ammo, and trinkets from Mining bars, cloth, and parts it makes itself. Much of what it makes only an engineer can use, which keeps those items off the auction house entirely.

What does sell is what everyone can use: scopes for hunters, explosives for PvP, and the parts an engineer would rather buy than grind. Mining prices feed straight through.

What Forever changes about Engineering

The Forever additions to Engineering are the ones everyone can use. The top of the list is the EZ-Thro line, Dark Bomb, Mana Bomb, a Field Transporter to Gadgetzan and a SAF-T Emergency Ripper to Everlook, and in this game the EZ-Thro name has one meaning: no Engineering skill required to use it.

That changes the profession’s relationship with the auction house. Era engineers made gadgets only engineers could use and sold scopes and bullets on the side. A bomb anyone can throw and a transporter anyone can carry are products.

The highest-skill recipes new to Forever: Dimensional Transporter - Mt. Hyjal (280), EZ and SAF Field Transporter: Mt. Hyjal (280), EZ-Thro Dark Bomb (280), EZ-Thro Field Transporter: Gadgetzan (280), EZ-Thro Magnetic Displacer (280). Everything new is also listed under New in Forever.

Buys most

The reagents the most recipes call for, with the units those recipes consume between them. 59 of them are made by Engineering itself, so a crafter climbs on their own output.

Leveling Engineering in Forever

Engineering competes with Blacksmithing for every bar on the market and adds cloth and leather on top, which makes it the most expensive profession to level by purchase alone. Mining is the pairing that makes it affordable.

The cheapest craft per bracket below is usually a part rather than a gadget: parts consume few units and feed the next recipe, so levelling through them wastes nothing.

The cheapest craft in each bracket, by reagent units

Fewest reagent units is not always cheapest in gold; it is the measure that holds on every market, scanned or not. The crafting table ranks every recipe by what it costs and what it makes at the current medians.

What a engineering sells

Scopes for hunters and explosives for PvP were the Era income and remain so. The EZ-Thro items add consumables with a customer base as wide as the population, priced against what a fight or a trip across the world is worth to someone who is not an engineer.

Engineering parts sell to other engineers who would rather buy than grind, and their price is the price of bars, because that is what they are made from. Mining sets the floor for this profession the way Herbalism does for Alchemy.

Questions

Can non-engineers use Engineering items in Forever?
Some. The EZ-Thro items in the Forever recipe list, bombs and transporters among them, carry the name the game uses for engineering consumables that need no skill to use. Most gadgets still require the profession.
What is the best profession to pair with Engineering?
Mining. Engineering consumes bars in nearly every bracket and competes with Blacksmithing for them at the auction house; mining your own removes the largest cost.
