Tips for Efficient Leveling
- Buy materials in bulk from the Auction House when prices are low
- Farm stones yourself - Rough, Coarse, Heavy, Solid, and Dense Stones can be mined while leveling Mining
- Save crafted items - Many engineering items can be used for other crafts or sold
- Check trainer locations - Plan your route to minimize travel time
- Consider Mining as a second profession - This provides most of the metal bars you'll need
Alternative Leveling Path (Cheaper)
If you're on a budget, consider these alternatives:
- Use Target Dummies instead of bombs when possible
- Craft Gyrochronatom instead of some bombs
- Make Green Tinted Goggles at 150 for skill points
- Craft Fire Goggles at 205 instead of expensive bombs
