engineering guide

[andale]

hello
I have problems with the engineering guide after level 450.
could you check?
thk for all and sorry for my english

[cabby]

What exactly is the problem you're having? What do you see?

Also, when in game, if you open the guide selection window what does it show in the lower left corner for guide version?

[andale]

this guide,by level 450 or so, skip directly to the end.
I can not continue.passes directly from 156 to 166

[cabby]

When you are in game and open the guide selection window, what does it show in the lower left for the guide version?

[andale]

1-600 engineering level guide

[cabby]

What I mean is in the bottom left corner of the guide selection window it will say 'Zygor' and a version number. What is that version number?

[andale]

i have update at 4.0.5655 and i see a star in engineering and archeology guide.
now is all ok
thk for all

[andale]

I have again same problem.
now im at 580/600 engineering but I could not follow the guide.
I thought the problem was over with the update
I was wrong.
This guide skips from step 155/156 to step 166
pls can you correct this?
thk

[andale]

my guide is 4.0.5657

[cabby]

Was step 155/156 the spot where you are told to purchase items from the AH? If it was, did you purchase them or click the line to go farm them?

[andale]

no, it is not.
is the next step. from level 482, where I arrived, the guide tell me "congratulations you're done....ecc ecc"

[cabby]

Ok, I think I might see what's happening. Did the guide tell you to learn the Elementium Dragonling? If it did, back up to that step, then create some Elementium Toolboxes to get to 495 skill, then Elementium Dragonlings to get to 500. Then click to go onto the next step. I see the steps to create them is missing from the Horde guide and this could be what's causing the routing issue you're seeing.

[andale]

ok
i'll wait update
thk for your work
bye

I think I will post to clearify here.
Version: 4.0.6914
Engineering 1-600 Leveling Guide (Horde)
Without Mining

Leveling 1-425 is flawless. The guide might skip some steps, but it seems to be normal for all the other zygorguides as well.
In this case, it skips because of class-diffrence on crafts (I think).

So the real issue is this:
Step 143
it says: "Create 36 Dreadful Gladiator's Links of Accuracy"
Achieve Engineering level 442.

The issue here is that Dreadful Gladiator's Links gear is level 90 gear, thus require higher then 525 skill to create.
"Dreadful Gladiator's Links of Accuracy" is not crafted.
"Crafted Dreadful Gladiator's Links of Accuracy" is however crafted, and according to wowhead.com it requires 600 Leatherworking to craft.

This means the guide is somewhat wrong at this step.

Step 144 however tells me to learn Electrostatic Condenser (which requires 440 Engineering), so I suppose it's only one step that is wrong at the moment, and that Im suppose to craft some "Handful of Obsidium Bolts" untill I have 442 skill instead.


Another oddity:
Step 12
Create about 8 Thermal Anvil
Reach Engineering level 595

I stopped at 585 and skipped to the next Step.

it says craft 3 Mist-Piercing Goggles (which gives 5 Skill for each craft)
Reach Engineering level 600.

It also requires 6 Spirit of Harmony. the guide pointed out that you needed 2, at step 5.

I hope you will look into fixing the guide, may I suggest also making the player chose a Engineering specialization when it becomes available?

[cabby]

I'm not seeing a reason why it would show you the Gladiator Links in step 143 because when I look in the guide file it's showing the Obsidium Bolts and has the correct ID info for the bolts.

If you stopped at 585 and skipped to the next step then yes the number of harmony needed would be off. If you would have kept creating the thermal anvils until you reached 595 as instructed then you would only need to create 1 goggle which would require the 2 harmony that we mentioned earlier in the guide.
