Engineering is a primary crafting profession in World of Warcraft: Forever. Engineers build explosives, firearms and ammunition, goggles, trinkets and gadgets.
Forever adds 77 new schematics, including new field transporters, ammo and a top-end rifle. It also adds the Reagent Bot / Repair Bot / Anarchist's Workbench camp line, Merchant's Favor schematics, Craftsman's Writs and Legacy milestones.
WoW: Forever is in beta. Everything on this page comes from Forever sources and the beta client, and may change before launch on 4 November 2026.
Why choose Engineering?
[edit | edit source]- Utility gadgets – bombs, trinkets and new transporters, such as the EZ and SAF Field Transporter: Mt. Hyjal and the EZ-Thro Field Transporter: Gadgetzan.
- Ranged gear and ammo – new Artisan items include the Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVII, Swiftfeather Arrow and Swiftstrike Shot.
- Camp services – the Reagent Bot sells reagents at camp, and the Repair Bot also repairs gear.
- The Gnomish Army Knife also works as a Skinning Knife.
Specializations
[edit | edit source]Gnomish and Goblin Engineering are both in the Forever client. Neither is needed to reach 300: the leveling route below leaves out their schematics.

Recipes
[edit | edit source]Every Engineering schematic in the beta client, with its reagents, skill colours, requirements and recipe item, is listed on Engineering recipes. The list is built from the client's own recipe tables (build 1.60.1.70124).
| Rank | Schematics | New in Forever |
|---|---|---|
| Apprentice (1–75) | 12 | 5 |
| Journeyman (75–150) | 48 | 13 |
| Expert (150–225) | 74 | 22 |
| Artisan (225–300) | 121 | 49 |
| Total | 255 | 89 |
Counts are entries in the client's skill table, so they can differ slightly from the figures other sites quote.

Merchant's Favor, writs and title
[edit | edit source]- Merchant's Favor from Waylaid Crates buys Engineering schematics at the Azeroth Commerce Authority (Alliance) and Durotar Supply and Logistics (Horde).
- Craftsman's Writs ask for Engineering items and reward reputation with those factions: 75 (Journeyman), 125 (Expert) or 200 (Artisan).
- A profession Certification and title for 1,000 Merchant's Favor at 300 skill is expected on the same pattern as the other crafting professions. Not yet confirmed for Engineering.
