Gnome Engineering

If you wish to learn more about Gnome Engineering, take the Manual of Engineering Disciplines to Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay.
Manual of Engineering Disciplines
Provided Item:
Manual of Engineering Disciplines

Description

Engineering at the expert level breaks into two disciplines: gnome and goblin. While I think it is a waste, you should be aware of gnome specialization. They make items and gadgets that claim to change the world, but rarely work.

<name>, read this manual. If you wish to learn how to make metal paper weights, then take the manual to Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay. Remember - membership is permanent and prevents joining the other discipline, so make sure you are sure before finishing his task.

Progress

Hello there! If you've come about a homing robot that may have smashed through a wall of your domicile, then I will refer you to my barrister in advance. Otherwise, what can I do for you today?

Completion

You've come to learn about gnome engineering, eh? Well, you've come to the right gnome. While the ruling faction of Gnomeregan may use politics to ostracize those they view as an intellectual threat, they know that knowledge is something they cannot control.

They and I both know that when I left Gnomeregan, they lost one of their greatest gnome engineers alive today. If you're a capable student, I'll teach you what I know.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 42 experience (2 52 at max. level)

Just a heads up you need to have your engineering skill up to 200 to pick up quest to learn goblin or gnomish engineering.

Okay, since there seems to be a lot of confusion about how to spec into Gnomish/Goblin Engineering AFTER you have unlearned engineering and pick it up again, heres how it goes.

You must level your Engineering Skill up to 225.
When you have made your decision, go to Tanaris and head east out of Gadgetzan.
When you reach ""Steamwheedle Port"" head north, and just outside of town there is a small hut,
kind of 'magical' looking, inside you will find a Gnome, wearing a purple turban and a table with a book on top of it.
Right click on the book ""Soothesaying for Dummies"" and select one of the two options.
(something along the lines of..)
1. ""I am absolutely sure I wish to specialize in Goblin Engineering.""
2. ""I am absolutely sure I wish to specialize in Gnomish Engineering.""
You will see a message saying ""You have learned a new skill: (Gnomish/Goblin) Engineering

Done!

Happy Trails,

Gorelash.All thanks to gorelash
