-Credit where credit is due-

Thottbot.com- This is a database with a wealth of information, and without it I would never have been able to compile this post.
All those who have posted useful information- It wouldn’t be fair for me to just pick certain people and say they have helped more than others, because it’s everyone who has posted useful information and helped others with their problems that allowed this topic to grow
Blizzard Entertainment- For creating such a wonderful game.


-Introduction-

Let me start by saying that I hope this guide can help shed some light on the questions you may have, and guide you on your choice to specialization. The first thing you should know is that class doesn't have a large effect on which engineering path you should take, but rather you should look at the devices and see which ones you like. And many of the devices can be traded, so just because it’s made by the other specialization doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t use it. Let me also say, that although many schematics have the word "Gnomish" or "Goblin" in their names, they can be learned by both specializations. (Goblin Jumper Cables, Gnomish Universal Remote, Gnomish Cloaking Device, and Goblin Land mine)


-Second Professions-

Mining- Mining is the main gathering profession for engineering and any engineer would be wise to take it, as the majority of materials required for schematics are ores, stones and gems.

Skinning- Not a major role, but many schematics require some leather. It would be wiser to take mining though, as you can easily buy the leather when needed.

Alchemy/Blacksmithing- If you are going to buy the mining materials, you may want to consider alchemy(Goblin) or blacksmithing(Gnome) as your second choice so you can make the special reagents, Goblin Rocket Fuel(Alchemy) and Inlaid Mithril Cylinder(Blacksmithing)for yourself.

Fishing- A secondary skill (meaning you can have it in addition to your 2 primary professions) that has very little to do with engineering, but on occasion you may fish up crates with engineering goods, cloth, leather and the occasional gem.


-Specialization and Artisan-

In order to raise your Engineering skill past Expert (225) you must speak with the Master Engineer in Gadgetzan and learn Artisan Engineering. Specializing in Goblin or Gnome does NOT let you raise your skill to 300; it simply allows you to access their schemata.

Level Requirements for training:
Level 5- Apprentice (Max 75)
Level 10- Journeyman (Max 150)
Level 20- Expert (Max 225)
Level 30- Specialization (Max 225)
Level 35- Artisan (Max 300)


-Locations for commonly asked about parts-

Flask of Oil- Used in Gnomish Universal Remote and Goblin Jumper Cables. Can be found on Harvest Reapers in Westfall (Alliance) or the Goblins in the Boulder Lode Mine in the Barrens (Horde)

Fused Wiring- Used in Alarm-O-Bot, Mechanical Dragonling, Field Repair Bot 74A, Gnomish Cloaking Device, Goblin Jumper Cables, Goblin Jumper Cables XL, Lil' Smokey and Bombling. Can be found rarely on mechanical mobs (Such as those in Gnomeregan and Venture Co. Shredder) and all types of target dummies.


-Specializations-

Requirements: To specialize in either Goblin or Gnomish engineering, you must have 200 engineering and be at least level 30. To start the quests talk to Tinkerwiz in Ratchet when you meet the requirements. You will then be sent to either Gadgetzan(Goblin), Ironfroge(Gnome-Alliance), or Booty Bay (Gnome-Horde). You will then be asked to finalize your choice one more time, and then to make some items for them. Goblin Engineers need to make 20 Big Iron Bombs, 20 Solid Dynamite, and 5 Explosive Sheep. Gnomish Engineers need to make 6 Mithril Tubes, 1 Accurate Scope, and 2 Advanced Target Dummies.

Reagents: Many specialization schematics require reagents ,Goblin Rocket Fuel (Alchemy) and Inlaid Mithril Cylinder (Blacksmithing), made by other professions. In order for these professions to make these items, they must learn it from a recipe that the engineer makes.

Goblin: Focus on bombs and fire damage. Trainers can be found in Ratchet or Gadgetzan.

Goblin Schemata:
Goblin Rocket Fuel Recipe (Recipe)
Goblin Construction Helmet (Cloth/Head) (Binds When Picked Up)
Goblin Mining Helmet (Mail/Head) (Binds When Picked Up)

Gnome: Focus on quirky gadgets and trinkets. Trainers can be found in Booty Bay or Ironforge.

Gnome Schemata:
Inlaid Mithril Cylinder Plans (Recipe)
Gnomish Shrink Ray (Trinket) (Binds When Equipped)
Gnomish Goggles (Cloth/Head) (Binds When Picked Up)
Gnomish Net-O-Matic Projector (Trinket) (Binds When Equipped)

Pet: Lil' Smokey (Item) (Binds When Picked Up)
Dropped Schematics: Gnomish World Enlarger (Trinket) (Requires Gnomish Engineer), Gnomish Alarm-O-Bot (Item)
Teleporter: Gadgetzan (Trinket) (Binds When Picked Up)
Reagent: Inlaid Mithril Cylinder (Made by a Blacksmith with a skill of 200 or greater)

Teleporters: Each specialization allows you to make a teleportation device once you reach level 260 in Engineering. The Gnomes teleporter teleports you to Gadgetzan (In Tanaris), and the Goblins teleporter teleports you to Everlook (In Winterspring). To learn the schematic you must first visit the teleporter operator in either Everlook (For Goblin Engineers) or Gadgetzan (For Gnomish Engineers), if you have level 260 or above in engineering, and the proper specialization, they will teach you the schematic for free. You cannot use the other specializations teleporter.

Membership Cards: After you finish your specialization quest, you will receive a Goblin or Gnome Membership card. These have a duration of 14 days, which only counts the time you are online. In other words, you have to be logged into that character for 14 days for it to expire. When it expires you must visit a trainer for your specialization and pay 2 gold to renew your subscription. Your new card is immediately placed in your inventory and your renewal gift arrives a few hours later in your mailbox. Gifts range from bombs (Goblins) and parts (Gnomes) to schematics (Both). Also know that the schematics for the specialization pets (Lil' Smokey and Bombling) are obtained from renewal gifts. Membership Cards are needed to access the unique schemata for your specialization.

Re-specialization: In order to switch you specialization you must first COMPLETELY unlearn engineering. Doing this will cause you to lose all your recipes and accumulated levels in engineering, so you should take the time to make sure it’s what you want. After you have unlearned engineering, relearn it and level it back up to 200. You must then go to Narain Soothfancys house in Tanaris (A little north of SteamWheedle Port). On his table is an open book entitled Soothsaying for Dummies. Once you’ve read it, you will be able to take up the other specialization.


-Holiday Recipes-

Feast of Winter Veil: During The Feast of Winter Veil, those who complete Stolen Winter Treats (Obtained at level 30) have a chance to get the Schematic for the Snowmaster 9000. The Snowmaster 9000 turns 1 Refreshing Spring Water into 1 Snowball. It has a 1 day cooldown and unlimited uses.

Lunar Festival: The Lunar Festival offers MANY firework recipes for the engineers willing to undertake the challenge of gaining the required Coins of Ancestry. The firework recipes come in packages of 3, one red, one blue, and one green firework recipe of the same type. In order to launch these special fireworks, you will need either a Firework Launcher or a Cluster Firework Launcher which have their own recipes.

Schematics:
Firework Launcher
Cluster Firework Launcher
Small Rocket Recipes
Large Rocket Recipes
Cluster Rocket Recipes
Large Cluster Rocket Recipes

NOTE: All schematics and packages cost 5 Coins of Ancestry.


-Reputation Reward Schematics-

Zandalar Tribe: The Zandalar Tribe offers 2 engineering schematics, Bloodvine Lens (Friendly/300 Engineering/Leather), and Bloodvine Goggles (Honored/300 Engineering/ Cloth).Their town, reward vendors, and a few quest givers, can be found at the small island off the northern coast of Stranglethron Vale. The best way to raise your reputation with them is by doing the 20-man Raid instance ZulGurub (Stranglethorn Vale). Both schematics require Souldarite (A gem found from mining Hakkari Thorium Veins in ZulGurub) and Bloodvine (An herb that drops off herb nodes in ZulGurub if the herbalist has a Blood Scythe, which is obtained from the Jinxed Hoodoo Pile in ZulGurub)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Gnomeregan-

Throughout Gnomeragan are machines that you can use your engineering skill to unlock new schematics. To start the process you must receive a White Punch Card from one of the mobs in the non-instanced part of Gnomeregan and use it on the Matrix Punchograph Machine 3005-A located outside the instance. You then get the Yellow Punch Card for the Matrix Punchograph Machine 3005-B, which is located in the dormitories by the clean zone, where you can use your engineering skill (If its 140 or greater) to learn the schematic for the Minor Recombobulator. You will also get the Blue Punch Card (Regardless of whether or not you got the Minor Recombobulator Schematic.) which allows you to access the Matrix Punchograph Machine 300-C, located by the Electrocutioner 6000, which gives the Red Punch Card. The Red Punch Card is used on the Matrix Punchograph Machine 3005-D in the Engineering Labs to get the Prismatic Punch Card for the Alliance quest Data Rescue (Obtained at level 25 from Master Mechanic Castpipe in Ironforge), and (If you have the Security DELTA access card, obtained from Gnomeregan Mobs, and an engineering level of 160 or greater) you can learn the schematic for the Discombobulator Ray.


-Darkmoon Faire-

The Darkmoon Faire has a few engineering item turn in quests which can earn you tickets that can be exchanged for prizes. Simply talk to Rinling at the Darkmoon Faire to turn in the items. The lower level quests can only be done a certain number of times before you mut do higher level ones (Based on Darkmoon Faire Reputation).

5 Copper Modulators (Engineering level 65, learned from a trainer) Gets you 1 Ticket.
7 Wirring Bronze Gizmos (Engineering level 125, learned from a trainer) Gets you 4 Tickets.
36 Green Fireworks (Engineering level 150, learned from a schematic bought from Gagsropcket in the Barrens (At Ratchet) or Crazk Sparks in Stranglethron Vale (At Booty Bay) gets you 8 tickets.
6 Mechanical Repair Kits (Engineering level 200, learned from a trainer) gets you 12 tickets.
6 Throium widget (Engineering level 260, learned from a trainer) gets you 20 tickets.


-Gnomes-

One of the gnome racial abilities is +15 skill to Engineering. This gives Gnomes +15 to their current Engineering level and allows them to go 15 above their current level cap (Thus having a max of 315 in engineering). There are no recipes that require above 300 engineering though. Also, Gnomes do NOT have to go gnomish for their specialization, they can go goblin as well.


-Dark Iron-

Dark Iron is a higher level metal used in some engineering schematics, but unlike other metals you cannot learn to smelt it from a trainer. In order to learn to smelt Dark Iron you must bring 20 Gold Bars, 10 Truesilver Bars, and 2 Star Rubies to Gloom’rel in the Summoner’s Chamber of Blackrock Depths (You must be careful to only talk to him and not start the event, or you end up killing him). Unlike other metals, 8 ore is required to smelt one Dark Iron Bar, and it can only be done at the Black Forge in Blackrock Depths. Some recipes that use Dark Iron can only be crafted at the Black Anvil. (Found in Blackrock Depths as well).


-Field Repair Bot 7A-

In Black Rock Depth, by Golem Lord Argelmach is a scroll that teaches this schematic ( If you have 300 Engineering). This robot acts like a vendor for 10 minutes, buying items and repairing armor. This is very useful for large raids.


-Quest Schematics-

Flash Bomb: Taught by Rigglefuzz in the Badlands (Between the central mountains) after completing the "Pearl Diving" Quest (Obtained at level 30). Requires 185 in Engineering to learn. This schematic requires Blue Pearls obtained from giant clams in StrangleThorn Vale (In The Vile Reef). It's a bomb that causes all beasts in a 5 yard radius to flee for 10 seconds.

Tranquil Mechanical Yeti: Taught by Umi Rumplesnicker in Winterspring (At Everlook) after completing the "Are We There Yeti?" Quest line (Obtained at level 52). Requires 250 in Engineering to learn. The Yeti is a non-combat, small pet.

Snake Burst Firework: Sold by Zorbin Fandazzle in Feralas (By the dock to Feathermoon Stronghold) after completing BOTH "Zapped Giants" (Obtained at level 45) and "Fuel for Zapping" (Obtained at level 45). Requires 250 Engineering to learn. It's a firework.


-Pets-

Engineering allows you to create a wide variety of pets. Combat Pets and One-Time-Use pets usually have a "tag" under their names with the name of the player than created them ([Player]'s Guardian). They CAN be used in conjunction with hunter/warlock pets, but you DO NOT have direct control over them. Let me also say I use "pet" as a broad term for anything that you create into the world. You may have a hunter/warlock pet, a "guardian" and a non-combat pet out all at once.

Non-combat pets: Non-combat pets are those that serve no purpose other than to follow you around. They can be used as much as you like and do not die. Most do not require engineering levels to use, so you can sell them or give them to friends :)
Mechanical Squirrel
Tranquil Yeti
Lifelike Mechanical Toad
Pet bombling (Binds on pickup)
Lil Somkey' (Binds on Pickup)

Combat Pets: Combat pets are pets that you can summon to help you fight for a limited time, they can also be used as much as you like (They do have cooldowns between uses though), usually taking the form of trinkets. They do not "die", if they are killed you must simply wait for their cooldown before you can use them again. They do require engineering to use.
Mechanical Dragonling
Mithril Mechanical Dragonling
Arcanite Mechanical Dragonling
Gnomish Battle Chicken
Goblin Bomb Dispenser

One-time-use pets: One-time-use pets are those that have "charges", which means they can only be used a certain number of times before you must make more. They have a variety of purposes from aiding you in combat to acting as vendors, or even explosives. They do require engineering to use.
Target Dummy
Advanced Target Dummy
Masterwork Target Dummy
Compact Harvest Reaper
Explosive Sheep
Goblin Land mine
Alarm-O-Bot
Field Repair bot 7A

-Engineering for Profit-

Although Engineering usually costs you more than you make, there are a few items which can be sold to other players for professions and quests.

Non-combat devices: Most non-combat pets and fireworks an engineer makes can be sold to other players or given as gifts.

Flash Bomb: A schematic that can be learned after doing the “Pearl Diving” Quest (Obtained at level 30 from Rigglefuzz in the Badlands, by the central mountains). The schematic requires level 185 to learn, but the bomb itself requires no engineering level to use. The recipe requires Blue Pearls from giant clams in the Vile Reef, in Stranglethorn Vale. The bomb causes all beasts within 5 yards to flee for 10 seconds.

Salt Shaker: Learned at 250 Engineering from a trainer. Used by leatherworkers to turn Deeprock Salt into Refined Deeprock Salt.

Aquadynamic Fish Attractor: Learned at 150 Engineering at a trainer. It's a "bait" that is applied to a fishing pole to increase the fishing skill of the player by 100 for 5 minutes. Made in stacks of 3.

Guns, Bullets and Scopes: Engineers have the opportunity to make many guns, bullets and scopes which can be sold to any class which can use them.

EZ-Thro Dynamite: A bomb that doesn't require engineering to use. The first model can be learned at Engineering level 100 from a dropped schematic. The second model can be learned at Engineering level 200 from a schematic bought from Blizrick Buckshot in Tanaris (At Gadgetzan). Both models can be sold to and used by any player.

Green Lens: Although only usable by engineers, these have a random enchantment added when crafted, so you may be able to sell them to an engineer looking for a specific enchantment. Learned at 245 Engineering from a Trainer.
