WoW Forever Engineering Guide 1-300: Route, Schematics & Repair Bot

Data note: beta client build 1.60.1.70291, datamined by Classic WoW Forever. May change before launch on 5 November 2026.

What changed from Classic

246 schematics: 169 Classic, 77 new (39 at Artisan). Skill ranges match Classic except Pet Bombling (grey at 210 instead of 205). Five use different materials, e.g. Rough Dynamite, EZ-Thro Dynamite and EZ-Thro Dynamite II. New materials: EZ-Thro Shell, SAF-T Tube, Legionite Bar and Heavy Thorium Bar. New at 300: the Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVII, Swiftfeather Arrow, Swiftstrike Shot and the Gnomish Poultryizer.

Training ranks

Rank	Skill cap	Train at
Apprentice	75	Level 5
Journeyman	150	50 skill, level 10
Expert	225	125 skill, level 20
Artisan	300	200 skill, level 35

Each rank needs both the skill and the character level shown, as in Classic. Trainer names and costs aren't re-checked for Forever yet, so ask the trainer in your capital. You get one Legacy point the first time you reach 150, 225 and 300.

Tips

Blasting powders (Rough, Solid, Dense) are cheap stone-only steps and are reused in later crafts.
Mithril Casing (3 Mithril Bar) feeds the Hi-Explosive Bomb and the Salt Shaker, so make extra.

FAQ

Is the Gnomish Army Knife worth it?

It replaces the Skinning Knife, Mining Pick and other tools in one slot, which saves bag space for gatherers.

What does the Salt Shaker need?

1 Mithril Casing, 6 Thorium Bar, 1 Gold Power Core and 4 Unstable Trigger, per Wowhead's Forever tooltip.
