Engineers
As a low level engineer, you will find yourself making an awful lot of parts, rather than actual items. While these parts do come in handy later, most players find that they have quite the surplus of un-used parts that usually are unloaded on the poor vendors.
The [Copper Modulator] can be crafted from skill level 65 right up until level 125, when it goes grey and no longer offers points. Because copper is an abundant metal, and linen is common in the early stages of a player's career, this is a fairly cheap item to craft for skill points.
Players who talk to Rinling can acquire the quest Copper Modulator, and will hand them over in stacks of five. These are a tier one item, and cannot be handed in many times.
The tier two item is the [Whirring Bronze Gizmo]. My young engineer still has a bank full of these! In fact, they are the direct upgrade from the modulators where materials are concerned. Instead of copper, you will be using bronze, which is a fusion of copper and the next metal, tin, and wool instead of linen.
Again, all of these materials should naturally turn up in the course of leveling your character. These items are handed in to Rinling in stacks of seven, for the quest Whirring Bronze Gizmo.
The tier three item is a bit more fun to construct, but you won't learn how to do so from your trainer. [Schematic: Green Firework] can be purchased from Gagsprocket in Ratchet. This engineering vendor can be found in an odd-looking hut north-east of the bank, or Crazk Sparks in Booty Bay.
Players will hand these over in groups of 36. Fortunately, the pieces of heavy blasting powder and heavy leather actually make three fireworks. This item will begin as yellow at 150 and become green at 162. Still, for the materials given, this is not an expensive skill-up.
The fourth tier will see you making [Mechanical Repair Kits]. Your trainer will teach you how to construct them, and plan on selling them in multiples of six, because that is what the quest Mechanical Repair Kits demands. This item also begins as yellow at 200, becoming green at 220.
Finally, for the fifth tier, you will be able to sell [Thorium Widgets] to be given to Rinling six at a time. These are not going to be cheap to manufacture at all. While the runecloth is abundant, you will probably feel hard-pressed to part with your thorium. Nonetheless, the item is orange at 260 and does not become yellow until 280, almost guaranteeing you a cool 20 engineering points for 20 widgets.
