Engineering aficionados in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery are in for a treat with the unveiling of previously restricted crafting recipes that were exclusively under Goblin or Gnomish specializations. In Phase 3 of Season of Discovery, players can embark on a special quest, enabling them to create both Goblin and Gnomish Engineering items on a single character.
Renowned for its eccentricity and usefulness, Engineering stands out among the crafting professions. Its popularity in Classic WoW stems from the assortment of explosive consumables and equipment loaded with distinctive activated abilities. However, the most potent craftables are typically locked behind either the Goblin or Gnomish Engineering paths, requiring players to commit to one specialization without the option to access recipes from the alternate branch.
Fortunately, a loophole seems to have emerged in the realm of Engineering within WoW Classic's Season of Discovery Phase 3. Upon reaching a profession skill level of 225, players can undertake the Gnomish Solutions or Goblin Solutions quest offered by Fizzbizz Coppercoil at the Shimmering Flats in the Thousand Needles region. By furnishing specific crafted materials and fulfilling quests spanning from Un’goro Crater to Hearthglen, characters will be rewarded with an Engineering Exchange Ticket. This ticket can be traded for recipes from the specialization opposite to the one chosen. With the possibility of obtaining a new ticket weekly, enthusiasts can acquire all available recipes within an eight-week period.
Engineering Questline in WoW Classic Season of Discovery
- Advance the Engineering profession to 225 and opt for either the Goblin or Gnome specialization.
- Engage in the Gnomish Solutions or Goblin Solutions quest presented by Fizzbizz Coppercoil at the Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles.
- Secure two Gnomish Harm Prevention Belts (for Gnomish Engineers) or five Goblin Land Mines (for Goblin Engineers).
- Conquer the Thunderstomp Stegodon in Un’goro Crater.
- Discover the Box of Scarlet Dye situated upstairs in one of the residences in Hearthglen.
- Execute a series of straightforward tasks in the Shimmering Flats to earn the Engineering Exchange Ticket, and then trade it with Maximillian “The Greaser” for one of eight recipes from the alternative specialization.
- Return each week to claim a new ticket.
In contemporary World of Warcraft, the disparity between Gnomish and Goblin Engineering is minimal. Nevertheless, even in WoW: Dragonflight, an Engineer cannot possess both Gnomish and Goblin recipes from previous expansions. Thus, Season of Discovery marks the inaugural occasion for World of Warcraft enthusiasts to forge items from both specializations using a single character.
The surprises in Season of Discovery Phase 3 extend beyond Engineering revelations. Hunters navigating the World of Warcraft Classic servers can now tame Core Hounds, while fans can engage in a challenging quest involving the Shadowy Figure from the preceding phases to create new Epic Nightmare items. With Phase 3 recently debuting in World of Warcraft, players can anticipate a plethora of unexplored surprises awaiting them on the experimental realms.
