A Pledge of Secrecy will be handed to Gnome and Goblin students. The player signs it, returns it, and therefore pledges commitment to the discipline. The trainers will then assign a task to gather and bring back certain items.

For Gnomes, Overspark and Obnoticus will require six Mithril tubes, two Advanced Target Dummies, and one Accurate Scope. For Goblins, Sprocketspring will ask for twenty Big Iron Bombs, twenty Solid Dynamites, and five Explosive Sheeps. Once chosen, the player cannot switch to the other.

Both specializations have unique schematics. Both have advantages and disadvantages. It boils down to individual preferences. After this, players will be given their Gnome or Goblin Engineer Membership Cards. These cards will serve as privileges to learn Gnome Engineer Only or Goblin Engineer Only schematics. 

The membership cards will only last for fourteen playing days. After it expires, players will no longer be able to learn the specialized schematics. It is possible to renew them at the cost of two golds and there is a huge benefit to this. After renewal, the respective trainers sends a gift that ranges from schematics, to parts, to bombs, some of which are only acquired this way, such as the Li’l Smoky schematic for the Gnomes and the Pet Bombling schematic for the Goblins.  

The Artisan stage

The next level of WoW Engineering proficiency is the Artisan stage. Level 35 is required for Artisan and becomes possible for learning at the 200 skill points mark. They can garner up to 300 skill points. At 275 points, Artisans can go for Master engineering training. Master engineering needs level 50 engineers. Masters can earn as high as 375 skill points.

Grand Master Engineering

The highest and most exalted engineering skill is the Grand Master Engineering. At 350 points, Masters can become Grand Masters. Level 65 is needed for this proficiency. Masters are able to harvest a maximum of 450 skill points. Significant leveling up and augmentation in skill points allows engineers to have access to newer, better, and more powerful schematics. The necessary skill levels that are indicated do not include special racial trait and bonus skill points that may be available. 

WoW Engineering Trainers

WoW Engineering Trainers are found all over the world. Exploring and asking makes it easier to locate the appropriate trainer. Players can ask guards in cities for their locations.

Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and up until Artisan engineers may be trained by Engineering Trainers or higher. Master engineers are trainable by Master Engineering Trainers or better. Grand Master engineers can only be trained by Grand Master Engineering Trainers. Gnomish Engineering Trainers specialize in training Gnomish engineers as well as Goblin Engineering Trainers are experts in teaching Goblin engineering.
