Big bottlenecks

Step 1: Learn Flying Machine Control (Engineering 350)

First, level Engineering to 350. Then head to Shadowmoon Valley and learn the Flying Machine Control recipe from your faction trainer.

Trainer locations

Training cost: 12 gold.

Flying Machine Control Materials (Full List)

Collect the following materials, then craft at an anvil with an Arclight Spanner and a Blacksmith Hammer:

Where to get Star Wood

Star Wood is purchased from enchanting supply vendors. One easy pick: Madame Ruby in Shattrath (63, 70).

Where to get Elemental Seaforium Charge

The schematic Schematic: Elemental Seaforium Charge is bind on pickup and requires Revered with The Consortium. You can buy it from a Consortium quartermaster:

Tip: If you don’t have the schematic, you can ask an Engineer friend to craft the Elemental Seaforium Charge for you, or buy charges from the Auction House if available.

Craft the Flying Machine Control

Once you have the materials, head to an anvil and craft Flying Machine Control using your Arclight Spanner and Blacksmith Hammer.

Nice bonus: crafting it at Engineering 350 should give you a skill-up to 351. Next goal: push Engineering to 375 for the epic version.

Step 2: Learn Turbo-Charged Flying Machine (Engineering 375)

Once you hit Engineering 375, return to the same trainers in Shadowmoon Valley to learn the Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control recipe: Jonathan Garrett (Horde) or Niobe Whizzlespark (Alliance).

Training cost: 18 gold.

Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Materials (Full List)

Where to get the Hula Girl Doll

The Hula Girl Doll is sold by Griftah in the Lower City of Shattrath. The cost discounts based on your Lower City reputation.

Khorium Power Cores and Felsteel Stabilizers

Khorium Power Core and Felsteel Stabilizer are trainable from Engineering trainers at skill level 340, but the mats are pricey.

Expect this craft to be a gold sink depending on your server economy and Auction House prices.

Craft the Turbo-Charged Flying Machine

Once you’ve got everything, head back to an anvil, craft Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control, and enjoy flying around Outland on an Engineer-only flex.
