Vanilla Fishing Guide (1-300)

1-50: Buy some shiny baubles and fish in the Durotar river or Elwynn forest.

50-100: Fish in the pools of wreckage off the pier in Ratchet. The crates give low-medium level trade good mats which sell quite well. You will need to use shiny baubles until you reach 75 skill.

100-175 (Horde): If you’re Horde, go to Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands, do the quest ‘Snapjaws Mon!’ from the fisherman at the pier to get a fishing rod with +25 skill. Then get some aquadynamic fish attractors (engineers can make these, fishing vendors often sell these on a limited supply), and fish in the Cape of Stranglethorn. The coastline has pools of stonescale eels which sell very well, as well as wreckage pools. You can also fish inland for greater sagefish, which also sell for a nice profit when cooked. Once you hit 125 fishing you can start using bright baubles instead of the fish attractors.

125-200 (Alliance): Alliance can’t get the pimp fishing rod, so you’ll have to fish in ratchet for another 20 skill points, then get hold of a strong fishing pole (+5 fishing) and follow the previous paragraph. Alternately you can look on the AH for a Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20 fishing).

175-300 (Horde): Go to the Tanaris coast, with a stock of aquadynamic fish attractors, and start fishin’. Stonescale eel pools are abundant here, and I find fishing in this zone to be a great way of earning gold. Once you hit 200 fishing you can switch to bright baubles.

200-300 (Alliance): Same as before, keep fishing in Stranglethorn until you reach 200 skill (less if you have a strong/big iron rod), then follow the above paragraph.

225
It’s cooking quest time.
Go to Gadgetzan and speak to Dirge Quikcleave to obtain Artisan cooking quest – Clamlette Surprise (he’s in the tavern). Whilst your there, pick up the recipe for Tender Wolf Steaks.
You’ll need 12 Giant Eggs, 10 Zesty Clam Meat and 20 Alterac Swiss. The Alterac Swiss is the easiest to get, just go to the Inn in Thunderbluff and buy them from the Innkeeper. Get the eggs from the Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands (the drop rate is way better than the Rocs in Tanaris). For the clam meat go to Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris and kill the Turtles. They will drop Big Mouth Clams at a good rate, which contain Zesty clam Meat. Keep killing Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands and grab another 70-80 eggs. Also kill the Wolves round here for Tender Wolf Meat.

or
Tender Wolf Steaks (1 x Tender Wolf Meat, 1 x Soothing Spice) x 80

For some reason, Blizzard decided it was too easy to get from 250 to 285, so therefore they stopped players being able to cook Omelets and Steaks for skill ups beyond 275. So your going to have to go to Dire Maul and kill a boss for Runn Tum Tuber Surprise recipe.

So if there are more than one of you that needs it, you will have to kill him again for it each time.
At level 70, all classes can do this boss and can avoid nearly all mobs on the chase towards the final confrontation. Just take some health/mana pots with you.

285 to 300
Smoked Desert Dumplings (1 x Sandworm Meat, 1 x Soothing Spice) x 20.
Go to Cenarion Hold in Silithus and speak to Calandrath for the Desert Recipe chain of quests. When you get to the third quest you’ll get the recipe for Smoked Desert Dumplings.

Kill Ravagers and Wolves around Duskwood for Lean wolf Flank.
You’ll need about 50-60 (including the ones you need for quest).N.B. you could get the Lean Wolf Steak recipe from Super Seller 680 in Desolace and continue killing until your cooking is up to 150+ and then skip the next step, but it’s a limited supply recipe and can be annoying to get).

130 to 175[/u]

Lockpicking 1-300

Please note that while this guide covers the best ways to power-level your lockpicking, it is perfectly feasible to level the vast majority of your skill simply by choosing to work quests that involve humanoids that can be pickpocketed for lockboxes, which can then be picked to raise your skill, and which also will sometimes contain Rogue poisons, thus increasing the value of this approach.

Early on you might get some Inv box 01 [Practice Locks] from an engineer to increase your lockpicking up to skill level 80. The quest to obtain Lockpicking will point you towards plenty of practice chests.

The best way for Alliance rogues to get their lockpicking skill up at level 16-20 (after getting the Pick Lock skill) is Alther's Mill in the Redridge Mountains region. The quest [20] Alther's Mill requires lockpicking a chest in Alther's Mill for a quest item and is close to the practice lockboxes. These chests respawn very quickly (you can stand between a couple or three and alternate between them) and may be practiced upon from 1 to over 100 skill. You do not have to be on the quest to pick these, so you can come back later to raise your skill when your level based skill cap is higher. If you do the quest at level 16, you should probably return at least once when you are over level 20. Horde rogues can similarly gain early levels from an equivalent quest on the ship off the Merchant Coast, south of Ratchet in the Barrens.
(Note: The above mentioned chest are not faction specific. If preferred Alliance characters could just as easily skillup lockpicking on chests found in the ship at the Merchant Coast. Vise-versa, it is possible for Horde characters to level on the chests found in Alther's Mill.)

1-70 - The Barrens, Ship off of merchants coast. (Has yellow spikes in the front you can jump on to board)
Respawn timer 0.5 seconds. 10 Box spawn points.

1-70 - Redridge Mountains, Alther's Mill
Respawn timer 6 seconds. 5 Box spawn points.

70-120 - Redridge Mountains, Lake Everstill
Respawn timer 4 seconds. 7 Box spawn points.

70-120 - Westfall, Dustplains, Tower to the south
Respawn timer 0.1 second. 1 Box spawn point.

70-120 - The Barrens, Sledge Fen, Tower to northeast (apart of rogue poison profession quest)
Respawn timer 3-5 seconds. 1 Box spawn point.

110-150 - Wetlands, Murloc Camps (on land North of menethil harbor)
Respawn timer 10 seconds. 5 Box spawn points.

150-200 - Desolace, Sar'theris Strand:
Respawn timer precisely 3 minutes. 7 Box spawn points.
Note: By the time you make it back to the first one it will have respawned.

200-250 - Searing Gorge, Slag Pit (Slave worker, non hostile area bottom area)
Respawn timer 9 seconds. 6 Box spawns points.

250-300 - Eastern PlagueLands, Tyr's Hand
Respawn timer 9 seconds. 4(definitely more) Box spawn points. 2 that avoid mobs in first area.


The rogue poisons quests for Horde and Alliance provide the next opportunity for solid skill gains. The quest can be picked up at level 20, although it may be too difficult for many players at level 20. The item required to complete this quest is contained inside a locked chest that can be picked repeatedly up to 170. (You are likely to hit your skill level cap first, if you are on the poison quest.) If you've already finished the quest, you can still use the chests to gain skill. The chests don't highlight when you mouse over them after the first time (when you obtain the quest item), so you have to activate your lockpicking skill first and then click the chest. The chest will be empty if you already have the quest item, or unpickable if you have completed the quest. Be sure to close the empty loot window in order to speed along the chest respawning (it is very quick if the loot window is not left open.) The poison Touch of Zanzil is applied every time the chest is lockpicked. The poisons can be dispelled if you have the cure from the poison quest chain, Anti-Venom skill (and Anti-Venom in your pack) from the First Aid profession, or by the dwarf racial Stoneform. It has also been confirmed that Jungle Remedy also cures this poison but requires the user to be level 22 or higher. The boss guarding the chest will probably respawn a couple of times while you are leveling your lockpicking skill on this chest. (It appears that either faction could use the opposite faction chest; not tested.)

Level 1 Battered Footlockers can be pickpocketed from the mobs around Durnholde Keep in the Hillsbrad Foothills. Note again that these are level 1, so if you have already leveled up using the lockbox in the rogue poisons quest, these will be grey and therefore useless for leveling your skill. Inside Durnholde Keep there are footlockers scattered around the grounds that require a lockpicking skill of 100 to open which can help you level your skill.

At Bluegill Marsh in the Wetlands, there are Battered Footlockers with varying skill level requirement of 90, 100, and 110.

If you are level 30-40 you can go to Desolace, bring 2–3 hours worth of water breathing potions, and pick your way into the mid 200s. There are Waterlogged Footlockers around (37,21) off the northwest shore. There are level 33 mobs you will have to deal with while doing this. There are also Mossy Footlockers in the deeper areas that can get you to 225. These can be found in a NE running trench near the big island off the coast, around (36,11). Though they are few and far between here. A better place to find these is in the lake that surrounds the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows.
Alternate Path.

If you don't like the water, you can head to Angor Fortress in the Badlands. There are two types of footlockers inside the fortress, Battered Footlockers and Dented Footlockers. The Battered Footlockers are located upstairs, and you will be able to open them immediately at 150; however, the Dented Footlockers will require a skill of 175 to open.

At 225, go to Searing Gorge. Down in the Slag Pit are [Dented Footlockers]. You can open all of them, and again pickpocket for junkboxes. Additionally, you can travel to the Swamp of Sorrows. A water-breathing potion makes circling the deep water around the Sunken Temple much easier, as [Mossy Footlockers] spawn throughout the area. Stay in either of these locations until 250-255.

The best place to raise your skill from 250 to 300 is in Blackrock Depths. Simply go in, turn to the left and unlock the Shadowforge Gate. Continue forward and take the first right, picking the next Shadowforge Gate. Pick the first door on the left, the East Garrison Door, and then head through the door, staying on the bottom level. If you are level 60 or above, pick the large wooden object sticking out of the ground below the giant gear, The Shadowforge Lock; lower levels can aggro the mobs around it. Pickpocket the 10 humanoid mobs in the room and you should average either 1 Sturdy Junkbox or 1 Heavy Junkbox each run. You can also lockpick cell doors if you are able to solo small groups before them. Then head out of the instance and reset it before doing all four again. Note that you can only reset the instance 4 times before it disables you from entering, saying "You have entered too many instances recently". This will yield 5 runs. This is valid for the whole account and resets roughly an hour after you entered the first time. Keep in mind that a number of mobs will be able to see through stealth, regardless of your level, so be prepared.

Another place for 250-300 is Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plaguelands. Pickpocket the mobs and find all of the [Scarlet Footlockers]. In the time it takes to take a full circle of Tyr's Hand, the starting point will be pickpocketable and have boxes respawned. Do this until 300.

Another spot at Searing Gorge is the Stonewrought Pass. You can pick the doors on either side at around 225, however the Loch Modan side has an Alliance guard so Horde may find it easier to simply level on the Searing Gorge side. The door quickly closes after being opened, so you can continuously pick the door until it is grey.

Alternate Engineering Guide 1-300
I have not tried this guide yet, so please give feedback if this is better than the other one I posted.


Engineering is not just a profession; it’s a way of life in WoW Classic. From raid-winning explosives to game-changing PvP trinkets, no other craft offers the sheer power and utility of Engineering. This blueprint will guide you through the quickest and most cost-effective path to max skill.

Why Engineering? (The Endgame Goal)
Before you start, understand what max skill unlocks:

PvE DPS: The Goblin Sapper Charge (Goblin Specialization) is mandatory for optimal AoE damage in dungeons and speed running. The Gnomish Battle Chicken (Gnomish Specialization) provides a valuable Melee Haste buff.

PvP Mastery: Items like Iron Grenade (AoE Stun), Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector (Root), and Reflectors (e.g., Gyrofreeze Ice Reflector) give you a significant, game-breaking advantage in duels and World PvP.

Utility: Field Repair Bot 74A (mobile repairs), Seaforium Charges (opening locked chests/doors), and Jumper Cables (combat resurrection attempt).

The Comprehensive Shopping List
Always remember to save components. The entire leveling path is designed to use low-level creations to fuel high-level ones.

https://ibb.co/Ld6hVsHJ

Leveling Path: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Apprentice (1 – 75): Copper & Components
1 – 50: Your first 50 points come from crafting base components that must be saved:

Craft Rough Blasting Powder (60x)

Craft Handful of Copper Bolts (30x)

50 – 51: Craft Arclight Spanner (1x). KEEP THIS TOOL! You need it to craft many items.

51 – 75: Craft Rough Copper Bomb (~30x). This uses your saved powder and bolts.

2. Journeyman (75 – 150): Bronze & Frameworks
T:LearnJourneymanEngineeringatskill50,requiresLevel10+
75 – 100: Craft Coarse Blasting Powder (60x) and use them to make Coarse Dynamite (~20x).

100 – 125: Craft Silver Contact (5x) and Bronze Tube (25x). SAVE THE TUBES!

125 – 135: Craft Standard Scope (10x).

135 – 175: This is a component-heavy step:

Craft Heavy Blasting Powder (30x), Whirring Bronze Gizmo (15x), and Bronze Framework (15x). SAVE THEM ALL.

Use all the saved components to craft Explosive Sheep (15x).

3. Expert Engineer (150 – 225): Tools & Mithril
T:LearnExpertEngineeringatskill125,requiresLevel20+
175 – 176: Craft Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor (1x). KEEP THIS SECOND TOOL!

176 – 200: Craft Solid Blasting Powder (60x). SAVE! Finish with a few Mithril Tube (~7x).

200 – 250: The Mithril section. Again, craft components first:

Craft Unstable Trigger (20x) and Mithril Casing (40x). SAVE BOTH.

Use these saved components, plus Solid Blasting Powder, to craft Hi-Explosive Bomb (20x).

4. Artisan Engineer (225 – 300): The Final Push
T:Travelto∗∗BuzzekBracketswing∗∗in∗∗Gadgetzan,Tanaris∗∗(Horde/Alliance)tolearnArtisanEngineering.RequiresLevel35+
250 – 260: Craft Dense Blasting Powder (30x). SAVE!

260 – 285: Thorium Widget (~35x) is your best skill-up. The Schematic is sold by vendors in Orgrimmar/Ironforge.

285 – 300: Finish with Thorium Shells (15x) or Thorium Tube. The Thorium Shells schematic is a BoE World Drop and can be expensive. Check the AH or opt for the easier Thorium Tube.


The Critical Choice: Specialization at 200 (Level 30)
Once you hit Skill 200 and Level 30, you face the most important decision: Goblin or Gnomish Engineering. This choice is permanent without the expensive and time-consuming process of unlearning and re-leveling.

Gnomish Engineering (Utility and Control)

Focus: Clever gadgets, utility, control tools, and unpredictable, fun effects.

Key BoP Item: The Gnomish Battle Chicken. This is critical as it provides a party-wide Melee Haste buff, making Gnomish desirable for many Melee DPS in competitive PvE.

Teleporter: Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan (Tanaris). Useful for quick access to the neutral city hub.

Ideal For: Melee DPS (due to the Chicken), players who prioritize utility over pure damage, and General PvP.

Goblin Engineering (Destruction and Explosives)

Focus: Pure destructive power, high damage, and high-risk maneuvers.

Key Consumable: Goblin Sapper Charge. This is the most crucial item, providing massive AoE damage essential for tank threat and dungeon/raid speed runs.

Key BoP Item: Goblin Jumper Cables XL (offers a higher chance of combat resurrection success compared to the regular version).

Teleporter: Dimensional Ripper - Everlook (Winterspring). Closer to the Songflower buff area, which can be useful.

Understood. Here are the two new sections (Gold Making and Pairing) translated and formatted for your English forum post, ready to be inserted before the final conclusion.

Gold Making: Is Engineering Profitable?
Engineering is traditionally a profession for personal use and optimization, not for direct income generation. Unlike Tailoring (Bags) or Alchemy (Potions), most Engineering items are crafted for the Engineer's own benefit.

However, there are key opportunities for making gold:

Explosives Bulk Sales:

If you are a Goblin Engineer, crafting Goblin Sapper Charges and Dense Dynamite in bulk and selling them to raiding guilds can generate decent profit. This is especially true during phases that demand high AoE damage.

Ammunition & Scopes (Hunter Market):

Crafting Thorium Shells/Arrows and high-end scopes like the Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope provides a steady, reliable income stream. These are consumables that Hunters constantly need.

Utility Gadgets:

Bound on Equip (BoE) items like the Gnomish Alarm-o-Bot (to detect rogues/druids) or early-game helms can be sold on the Auction House, though the profit margin is often small.

Gold Making Summary: The true financial benefit of Engineering is in the cost savings. By crafting all your own essential tools (bombs, transporters, scopes), you will save thousands of gold that you would otherwise spend on the Auction House.

Best Profession Pairing: What Should I Take With Engineering?
The choice for the best secondary profession to pair with Engineering is overwhelmingly clear:

Mining: The Essential Pairing
The Reason: Engineering is entirely dependent on Ore and Stone for every skill point from 1 to 300.

You need Mining to gather the raw materials for Copper, Bronze, Mithril, and Thorium Bars.

All the necessary Blasting Powders (Rough, Coarse, Heavy, Solid, Dense), which make up the vast majority of your skill-ups, are crafted directly from the Stone you gather while Mining.

Cost Efficiency: Without Mining, you will be forced to buy every single piece of ore and stone from the Auction House, which will quadruple the cost of leveling Engineering.

Can I pair it with anything else?

Yes, if your goal is purely financial, you could pair Engineering with another gathering profession like Herbalism or Skinning and sell those raw materials to fund your Engineering level. However, this is significantly less time-efficient than just gathering your own Engineering materials via Mining.
