I have a question, Am I missing something when it comes to leveling BFA Engineering? Because I’ve been saving up a ton of Expulsom to make the Honorable Combatants Discombobulator to hit 150. But once i started to level everything has turned green and I have no other yellow patterns that don’t require anything less than 5-6 Expulsom. This seems like a huge mistake to me that all my other BFA professions I’ve leveled always had a yellow pattern or Orange till max level.
This is really a pain in the butt. Anyone have a tip for me to get my last 7 levels because grinding out expulsom again for a green chance at a level seems very very annoying to me and may take a month or more xD
Ty , ps Blizz fix this please!
Don’t have an active engineer currently, but check to make sure the schematics don’t have any rep-locked rank 2/3 patterns. They should extend the range of the skill-ups and have been helpful for leveling some other professions.
As for expulsom, check the AH for BfA greens. They should be relatively cheap based on the prices players are reporting for gloom dust and essentially allow you to buy expulsom rather than grind it out over a month or two. Avoid the crafted alchemy trinkets though, as they do not have the guaranteed drop rate of non-crafted trinkets.
Yes, you definitely have to get the 3 star blue item recipes, and as you have noted the Honorable ones aren’t going to cut it. You want to get the gun or the Int mace. Those two are orange till 145 then yellow to 150 (and take 5 Ex each). They both require Revered with Honorbound / 7th Legion.
And of course watch for any Engineering WQs, even if they feel like throwing mats away, a point is a point.

I had all the rank 3 recipes and it still took me doing WQ’s for the last 15 points. Kinda insane since the DMF doesn’t give current points anymore.
I have 150 bfa engineering on 2 characters. Only craft when you have a rank 3 recipe. I burned through a lot of expulsom to get to 145-ish and then just waited for wqs.
Unless you’re in a rush to get the motherlode mount there isn’t any benefit to maxing. Be patient and engineering wqs will pop at the rate of 1 every week on average.
Saw on Wowhead this morning some potentially new goggle schematics. PTR goes live next Tuesday, maybe those patterns will help with the last few points.
