Tazik leveling, 9 powerlvls in 2 days, only 10k spent
While it was posted several times, i decided that i'm gonna share my experience since it's recent one. I see that people are still asking about, and somebody said it's been hotfixed, so i want to point out, it still works, so go get your taziks/springs, while you can. This should be your priority number 1 since it's "cheap" even if you dont have 85, you can still do it with freeing 1 profession and picking up mining (obsidium ore farming for 425-450 is piss easy too in Hyjal, there is eastern area that connects to Winterspring with practically no mobs and short spawning of obsidium ore)
It still works as of last week 2/22/2012, i was going ape monkey on that since i was afraid they will fix it. I was late on couple things like that in the past, so this time i made sure to get advantage of it. Skinning/herbing bug allowing you to go from 1-525 on lvl 5 mobs comes in my mind
Trick is as most of vets know that if you learn goblin engi, you get to learn cheap mats recipe once you finish goblin engi quest specialization from either SW or Org trainer, that will allow you to powerlvl from 200-425. You do not need to go to Ratchet for gnome/goblin specialization anymore, it has been changed to SW/ORG trainer. Just to save you time, since i went there automatically.
This is the savior that we are talking about: Global Thermal Sapper Charge - Spell - World of Warcraft
Couple pointers:
1. If this is your first time leveling engi, you will not get to autolearn this recipe!! It only works if you already knew it in past, and paid trainer for it. So very first time you will have to go through whole pain of leveling. Check WoW Engineering Guide 1-525 | Engineering Leveling Guide for fastest way.
2. If you tried for tazik and missed, do not drop engi right away, make sure to use your high skill to get enough mats for sapper charges so you can powerlvl at least once
3. From my experience, it is much better to focus on that recipe alone, even if there are mats for normal skilling on AH, i tried to buy thorium and solid stones and other when i saw it was cheap but in reality, i wasted time on it, since it clutters your bags and you have to send stuff to alts and back, relog and shit, and it's not worth it, so after 3rd relvl i focused on sapper alone and it was much more bearable, so do yourself a favor and just get these mats, rest doesn't matter (and you will keep your sanity even after 15th relvl)
Crystallized Water - Item - World of Warcraft
Cobalt Bar - Item - World of Warcraft
Saronite Bar - Item - World of Warcraft
- cobalt bars are probably most painful as they are usually overpriced so farm your own in Howling Fjord (my favorite spot, low lvl mobs and decent nodes)
- crystallized water you get as byproduct from mining cobalt and saronite ore and usually you can pick it for cheap on AH (either in this or Eternal water form)
- saronite bars are easiest to get in Wintergrasp bar none, that zone is empty most of the time, and there are spots with no mobs whatsoever to farm this and titanium ore (which you will need for Jeeves and couple other perks too), if you're using lvl 75+ you can get free port every time WG battle is up, so just queue for WG battle from PVP queue tab
4. Once you hit 425, go for Handful of Obsidium Bolts - Item - World of Warcraft, it will get green after a while but since it's so easy to farm in Hyjal, it's no biggie
5. Make sure if you get decent perk to save it on your gloves (at least PVP ones, those are cheap), speaking of Spinal Healing Injector - Spell - World of Warcraft or Synapse Springs - Spell - World of Warcraft mainly
6. Plan ahead and gather mats for goblin specialization quest so it won't hold you up later on. Even if you make much more than needed, it sells well, since people check on AH for these mats often.
Happy releveling, i did 9 or so in 2 days, completely bearable, also i blew decent chunk on stuff i didnt wanna bother farming, so it can be done cheaper. Have fun with those butterflies thingies in your stomach everytime you cross 440+
TLDR version:
1. Level engineering with goblin specialization normal way to 450 (at least till you get to learn global thermal sapper charge at 425)
2. Drop engi if no tazik
3. Level engi normal way to 200 just to get goblin specialization quest from org/sw trainer again
4. Since you already learned global thermal sapper charge before, it will autolearn again once goblin specialization quest is turned in, as in picture below
5. Now you are able to go quickly from 200-425 just by making global thermal sapper charges from the 3 easy to get mats you farmed earlier (cobalt bar, saronite bar, crystallized water)
