I just bit the bullet and did engineering. The one I most dreaded.
Surprisingly easy really and it actually has some useful items that 
don't explode/fail/turn out rubbish.

    and it isn't just me

     the first few frames here pretty much describe the engineering 
experience before

Look at the guides for shortcuts.
Just have a large large heap of ghost iron and obsidium for the top 
levels, like a guildbank tab full. But with flying ores are easy to farm.
   Don't do any of the complex recipies until the last ones you may use. 
  At the end I mistook spirit of harmony for another item so just plowed 
through a bunch of fireworks, scopes , thermal anvils(useful given the 
panda trainer is way over with nessingwary) and the dragon trinket with 
the cogs, not the first one, the higher one.
  Ghost iron dragonling.
  You could make a bunch of the gathering goggles fairly cheap to level.
  8 bolts 2 spirit of harmony
  Even blingtron is relatively cheap, I am just waiting to make the 
living steel rather than buy it..for 800g but on my ah you could buy all 
the mats for about 1500g.

  I did get a bit lucky in that near the end I was stuck on that mistake 
about the harmony but discovered a banker had 200 lapis lazuli, and with 
a tab of ghost iron it was scopes until  1 in skills 2 on green
then I think the last 6 or 7 were thermal anvils, going green but I had 
the last three ding a level in a row
   Last one, oh I have just enough powder and -just enough bars to make 
those last two bolts.. but it is green , well green by now
  close one eye, wish,  'create'  DING :-)
  Standing out at nessingwary over a hot anvil and tea waiting I wasn't 
about to do another loop and jeeves and mailbox were on cooldown so no 
new mats.
   The invisibility tinker..well it sort of works, 13 seconds of a very 
blurry cloud with a 3 minute cooldown. No incombat use.
It does actually have some use when gathering to avoid node guardians or 
mobs of those pesky psycho rabbits but any action, like mining or 
casting flying, breaks it.




  Click the fireworks when you make them, some drop recipies for 
fireworks, I don't remember what level, maybe they are useful at the 
level you get them.

  You can put the cogs into the trinket, only one of each type, and they 
don't bind. Useable at 87, although the quest trinkets proc better.
Its dragonling proc is pretty much traditional engineering.

Also , if you are alliance, be aware there is an anvil in the eternal 
vale hub, it just doesn't show as active or mouseover. Next to the 
blacksmith supplies npc in the next room to the ah/bank/mailbox hub.
Stand next to the anvil and forge, they work.


The googles do seem to work, although I haven't found one obviously in 
mist to pop mailbox, and see if it disappears.

There do seem to be a greater number of rich and normal ghost iron 
around, some seem to be rather unobtrusively placed wedges down in 
between rocks. Maybe people aren't using the goggles much?
