Alternate Advancement Points - Tinkering

Tinkering Alternate Advancement (AA) points are a little different from other Tradeskill AAs.

First, they are obviously only available to gnomes, since only gnomes can tinker.

Second, you'll notice there is nothing immediately available in your Alternate Advancement window that indicates there even are Tinkering AAs you can buy! In order to make the AA line visible, you must complete a very simple quest which you can start once you reach level 59 and you should have at least 18 AA points banked before completing this quest.

In addition to the Tinkering AAs, there is one other line that can be beneficial for tinkerers.

  • Salvage

Tinkering Mastery

As stated above, you must do the quest with Rylin Coil in Ak'Anon in order to make the AA line visible in your Alternate Advancement Window on the general tab. Ranks 1 - 3 will reduce failure rates and Ranks 4 - 13 will allow you to raise your skill above 300.

It will cost 443 AAs to buy all ranks of Tinkering Mastery.
