Gnome Engineering is one of two disciplines engineers may specialize in upon attaining level 30 and 200 skill. The other is Goblin Engineering. Gnome Engineering innovation is diverse, with items ranging from Inv belt 06 [Gnomish Harm Prevention Belt] and Inv helmet 49 [Gnomish Mind Control Cap] to the Inv misc enggizmos 08 [World Enlarger]. This diversity can give Gnome Engineers the element of surprise and situational advantages when facing enemies.

Becoming a Gnome Engineer

Much like with Goblin Engineering, this is a three step process.

The referral

You first have to get a referral from an engineering trainer. There are a number of people who will give you a referral. Remember, you do have to have 200 skill, and be at least level 30 to be eligible.

  • Gnome Engineering.

The pledge

The person you are sent to (either Tinkmaster Overspark, or Oglethorpe Obnoticus, depending on who referred you) will hand you an unsigned pledge, and ask that you sign and return it. This seals your commitment to Gnomish Engineering.

Showing your work

Both Overspark and Obnoticus will then ask you to show examples of your work. You will be handing over:

Base mats:
18x Inv ingot 06 [Mithril Bar]
6x Inv ingot bronze [Bronze Bar]
6x Inv ingot iron [Iron Bar]
1x Inv ingot 03 [Gold Bar]
1x Inv misc ammo gunpowder 02 [Weak Flux]
1x Inv misc gem stone 01 [Jade]
1x Inv misc gem opal 02 [Citrine]
2x Inv misc leatherscrap 05 [Medium Leather]
8x Inv misc leatherscrap 07 [Heavy Leather]
2x Inv fabric wool 01 [Wool Cloth]

Having done that, you are issued your Inv letter 04 [Gnome Engineer Membership Card], which entitles you to training on the 'gnome engineer only' engineering recipes. Congratulations! You have specialized in Gnome Engineering!

Membership

Having completed the exercises above, you are given a Gnome Engineer Membership Card. This remains valid for 14 days of 'played time', not 14 real days. If you ever find yourself without this card, you may pay 2 gold in dues to either Gnome Engineering trainer (Overspark or Obnoticus) and get a new one.

An added benefit to renewing your membership is that you will soon be sent a renewal gift, some useful engineering schematic. The schematic Lil' Smoky may only be acquired this way.

Gnome Engineering items

  • Gnome Engineering items require specialization in Gnome Engineering to craft.
  • Some Engineering items which have 'Gnomish' in the title do not require specialization to craft or use, e.g. Inv gizmo 01 [Gnomish Cloaking Device].
  • While some Gnome Engineering items require specialization to use, others do not. Some are tradable, some are BoP.

Trinkets

Some Gnome Engineering devices are trinkets, and therefore no more than two may be equipped simultaneously. When a trinket with a use effect is equipped, a 30 second cooldown is triggered before it can be used. This prevents rapid switch and use of multiple trinkets. Plan wisely which trinket combo to take into battle and consider which to hold in reserve for the next death-defying feat.

As with many Engineering devices, Gnome Engineering devices also have a chance to breakdown or malfunction on use (sometimes spectacularly).

  • Net fleeing enemies preventing escape; mithril.
  • Shrinking the mighty down to a manageable size; mojo.
  • Watching the proud endure defeat to a Spell magic polymorphchicken [Gnomish Battle Chicken]; priceless.
  • For everything else, there's MEGA membership card!

Notes

The measurements Gnomish engineer's and Gnomes in general use is revealed by Fizzle Brassbolts in the quest Martek the Exiled. These measurements are:

WW = Whisker Width IBGs = Itty-Bitty Grams TC = Toe Curls (Power)
