Novice Tinkerer

[Anterouk]

Just a quick question about tinkering. Its not something ive looked at closely before, Ive worked a number of other tradeskills, but am unsure if Tinkering skill is level restricted?

I was thinking about starting a gnome, purely to do some tinkering, but this isnt worthwhile if I can only get my skill so high without levelling.

You have to be level 16 to max tinkering.

First off: Get your Gnome to level 16, and get him/her as much INT/WIS (depending on class) gear that you are able to, in order to help with the skill ups.

Now, once you've hit level 16, your skill of 50 in tinkering can now be raised. Here goes nothing....

It is not level restricted, but you must be level 16 for tinkering to become available.

Ahhh ok, assumed as its a race skill, thought it would be similar to woodelves with forage?

Should not be too much of a problem, thanks for the guidance

wouldnt you need to be able to get AA's to get Tinkering mastery ?

You do not have to have the Tinkering Mastery AAs to do tinkering. If you are planning on doing a lot of Tinkering, it would probably be a good idea to buy them.


Tinkering AAs are different from other AA series in that you have to do a quest. The tinker character has to be level 59 to hail Rylin (in Ak'Anon) and get a quest. Once the quest is completed you will receive three books in your inventory (some reports of only receiving two books, but hail him again and he will replace/give the missing books).

Once you have the books and the stored points you can buy the AAs. it is a regular 3/6/9 progression like the other tradeskills.

You also will need to level to 70 if you want to max out the Salvage AA.
