Engineering Schematics and Recipes For Horde and Alliance – WoW Classic

Welcome to the ultimate guide for WoW Classic Engineering schematics and recipes! Engineering is a versatile profession, letting you craft explosives, gadgets, scopes, and mechanical pets that shine in PvE, PvP, and roleplay. While trainers in Ironforge (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde) teach core recipes, rare schematics—obtained through world drops, vendors, quests, or bosses—are the heart of Engineering. This guide organizes non-trainer schematics by skill level with clear headings for each schematic, detailed sub-sections (Materials, Source, Notes), and a table of contents for easy navigation. Perfect for Gnomish or Goblin engineers mastering Azeroth’s tech. You can also see our full WoW Classic Engineering Guide.
