WoW Forever Engineering Schematics: Trainer, Vendor, Quest and Drop Sources
Beta caveat: built from beta records ahead of launch on 4 Nov UTC / 5 Nov AEDT. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.
Where does each Engineering schematic come from in Forever? This page sorts them by source: trainer, vendor, reputation, Merchant’s Favor, quest and drop. For the skill-up route, use the Engineering 1–300 guide. For Gnomish and Goblin, see Engineering specializations.
How Engineering schematics are learned
| Source | Schematics | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Learned with the profession | 3 | You know them as soon as you train Engineering: Rough Blasting Powder, Rough Dynamite and Crafted Light Shot. |
| Trainer | 65 | Bought from an Engineering trainer as you rank up, including the Forever Reagent Bot and nine Goblin schematics. |
| Schematic item | 176 | You read a schematic (or a camp blueprint) that you bought, looted, earned with Merchant’s Favor or got from a quest. |
| Source not recorded yet | 27 | No learning source in the records yet, including most Gnomish schematics and the 315–320 Obsidian line. [Unconfirmed] |
Counts come from Questing.wiki’s Forever Engineering catalogue, leaving out content this site isn’t covering yet. Many schematic items can be read a little earlier than the catalogue skill. Schematic: Satchel of Copper Bombs reads at 85 on its Wowhead Forever tooltip against 90 in the catalogue. The tables below use the tooltip value.

Gnomish and Goblin schematics
Your specialization decides which of these you can use. In Classic you choose at 200 skill. [Classic-based] How to pick and the quests are on Engineering specializations.
- Goblin: Questing.wiki lists Goblin Rocket Fuel Recipe (10s), Goblin Sapper Charge, Goblin Construction Helmet and Goblin Mining Helmet (15s each), Goblin Rocket Boots (22s), Goblin Bomb Dispenser (24s), The Big One (26s), Goblin Dragon Gun (28s) and Goblin Rocket Helmet (30s) as trainer-taught. Which Forever trainer teaches them isn’t confirmed yet. [Unconfirmed]
- Schematic: Goblin Mining Helmet (205) is also sold by Maximillian “The Greaser” in Thousand Needles for 1 Engineering Exchange Ticket, and Schematic: Goblin Rocket Boots (130) drops from Mekgineer Thermaplugg and STX-04/BD in Gnomeregan.
- Schematic: Goblin Jumper Cables XL (265) says “Requires Goblin Engineer” on its tooltip. It drops from Plugger Spazzring in Blackrock Depths.
- Gnomish: Schematic: World Enlarger (260) and Schematic: Gnomish Alarm-O-Bot (265) say “Requires Gnomish Engineer”. Both drop from the Weapon Technician in Blackrock Depths.
- No source is recorded yet for the Gnomish Shrink Ray, Goggles, Net-o-Matic Projector, Harm Prevention Belt, Rocket Boots, Battle Chicken, Mind Control Cap and Death Ray, the Goblin Mortar, Dimensional Ripper - Everlook or Ultrasafe Transporter - Gadgetzan. In Classic Era the specialization trainers teach them. [Classic-based]

Xizzer Fizzbolt in Winterspring is the big stop, with five schematics from Gyrofreeze Ice Reflector to Delicate Arcanite Converter, which most top crafts need. Sovik (Orgrimmar) and Gearcutter Cogspinner (Ironforge) both sell Thorium Grenade and Thorium Widget. Zandalar Tribe is the only reputation with Engineering schematics in the records: Bloodvine Lens at Friendly and Bloodvine Goggles at Honored. We found no Engineering schematics on the Thorium Brotherhood, Argent Dawn, Timbermaw or Cenarion Circle lists. Jubie Gadgetspring in Azshara is reported selling Schematic: Deepdive Helmet (230), with no price recorded. [Unconfirmed]

Tips
- Check limited-stock vendors when you pass them. One copy means another player can buy it first.
- Stranglethorn Vale covers a lot in one trip: Gnaz Blunderflame (Mechanical Dragonling), Knaz Blunderflame (Deadly Scope), Mazk Snipeshot (Accurate Scope, Truesilver Transformer), Crazk Sparks (Green Firework) and Rin’wosho.
- Gnomeregan is worth a full clear for Engineers. Mekgineer Thermaplugg and STX-04/BD alone are recorded with seven schematics.
- Buy Xizzer Fizzbolt’s Delicate Arcanite Converter early: it’s a part in Force Reactive Disk, Core Marksman Rifle and the Accurascope.
- Rare schematics and the gadgets they make sell well on the auction house. See crafting for gold.

FAQ
Where do I get the Repair Bot blueprint?
It drops from Sneed in The Deadmines and needs Engineering 140. The Reagent Bot (20) is taught by trainers.
Where is the Mechanical Dragonling schematic?
Gnaz Blunderflame in Stranglethorn Vale sells it for 1g, one copy at a time. It needs 200. The Mithril version (250) is from Ruppo Zipcoil in The Hinterlands for 40s.
Which reputation has Engineering schematics?
Only Zandalar Tribe in our records: Bloodvine Lens at Friendly and Bloodvine Goggles at Honored, from Rin’wosho the Trader. The Merchant’s Favor schematics also need Friendly or Honored with an unnamed faction. [Unconfirmed]
Do limited-stock schematics come back?
In Classic they restock after a while. The Forever restock timer hasn’t been confirmed. [Unconfirmed]
