Alt Text: Icon of Pile of Rusted Scrap, a key material for early Engineering levels, vital for discovering recipes and crafting essential components.
Pile of Rusted Scrap drops from mobs and different activities around Khaz Algar, so you should have enough from just leveling. It’s a key ingredient in almost all Engineering recipes and is also used for discovering new recipes. You’ll need a substantial amount to unlock every Engineering recipe.
4.1.1 Alternative if you don’t have Scrap
If you just picked up Engineering and have few or no Scraps, loot the Engineering treasure in Dornogal: Dornogal Spectacles. This will allow you to reach level 5 and learn Pilfer Through Parts.
After that, I recommend collecting every Engineering treasure to gather even more Scrap. Check out my separate guide on how to collect all treasures: All Profession Knowledge Treasures.
Collecting the Engineering treasures is highly recommended, but if you don’t want to do it right now, here’s what to do:
4.2 Skill Levels 15-20: Whimsical Wiring and Gyrating Gear
The Frayed Wiring and Junk Bucket are sold by the Engineering supply vendor near your trainer.
Craft the following:
- 10x Whimsical Wiring – Requires: 10x Frayed Wiring, 30x Bismuth
- 10x Gyrating Gear – Requires: 10x Junk Bucket, 30x Bismuth, 10x Aqirite
- 45x Handful of Bismuth Bolts – Requires: 180x Bismuth
Keep these, you will need them. You will need a lot more, but you should probably craft them later.
4.3 Skill Levels 20-25: Bismuth Fueled Samophlange and Safety Switch
Craft the following:
- 1x Bismuth Fueled Samophlange – Requires: 8x Handful of Bismuth Bolts, 2x Whimsical Wiring, 2x Gyrating Gear

7. Skill Levels 33-40: More Bismuth Fueled Samophlange
If you’ve discovered any additional items through prototypes or other means, now’s the time to start crafting them to earn those first craft bonuses. Craft those instead of the four Engineering tool.
Craft the following:
- 4x Bismuth Fueled Samophlange – Requires: 32x Handful of Bismuth Bolts, 8x Whimsical Wiring, 8x Gyrating Gear
8. Mastering Inventing and Prototypes
Majority of the Engineering recipes are not taught by your trainer but can be learned through the new discovery system. I’ll walk you through the process of discovering a new recipe.
8.1 The Discovery System
The discovery system allows you to learn new recipes by experimenting with different materials and combinations. This can be a fun and rewarding way to expand your crafting repertoire.
8.2 Alternative Method: Scour Through Scrap
Fortunately, you can also get Prototypes from Scour Through Scrap. On average, you will get a Prototype every 25 Scrap, so it basically costs the same as Inventing, but you won’t get skill points.
8.3 Scraps Needed to Discover Every Prototype
To discovery every Prototype, you will need 350x Pile of Rusted Scrap. To get this many scrap, you would need 1750x Handful of Serevite Bolts. (Pilfer Through Parts works on parts from Older expansions)
But, you can also just play the game normally, loot scrap from mobs, then do your daily Inventing.
8.4 Discovering More Engineering Recipes
Once you discover every Prototype, you will stop getting Unrecognizable Prototypes you will start getting Hastily Scrawled Notes instead.
You can turn 15x Hastily Scrawled Notes into Comprehensibly Organized Ideas.
Using the Comprehensibly Organized Ideas will present you with a window where you can choose between 3 Engineering recipes.
9. Skill Levels 40-100: The Final Stretch
There are two methods to get through this part of the leveling process. I’ll outline each one, and you can choose which approach works best for you.
9.1 Method 1: Inventing
Inventing gives skill points all the way up to 100, so you can reach max level by just doing your daily Invent and getting the first craft bonus from the recipes you discover. This approach would get you to 100 in about 15 days if you consistently craft items to get the first craft bonuses as well.
I suggest crafting the expensive toys after crafting everything else. Since they provide guaranteed skill points up to 90, it’s most efficient to save them for when you reach 80. The other recipes will be yellow at that point.
9.2 Method 2: Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables
Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables is the cheapest recipe you can get. So, if you want to reach 100 fast, use Scour Through Scrap until you get this recipe, then you can just craft it up to around 92.
This is just an estimate below; you may need to craft more depending on your starting point (assuming you begin at level 40).
| Item | Materials Required |
|---|---|
| 70x Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables | 700x Pile of Rusted Scrap, 140x Handful of Bismuth Bolts, 140x Whimsical Wiring, 70x Gyrating Gear, 70x Safety Switch |
You could make Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables until around 95, but you will get skill points much less frequently. Inventing still gives guaranteed skill points, so I’d finish the last 8 points with Inventing.
