Getting the Unlimited Goblin Glider cloak in Shadowlands
If you're in SL and want the reusable Goblin Glider cloak there's a quick and cheap way to do it. Ignore the levelling guide on wowprofessions as that assumes you want to max Pandaria Engineering to level 75 when you only need level 25 to get the cloak enchant.
You need maximum 48 * Ghost Iron Bar to level from 1-25. You might need a few less but if you don't have a long boi the AH is a pain to get to so buying 4/5 extra isn't a big deal.
Either buy the bars from the AH, or buy 96 * Ghost Iron Ore if you have mining (or can pick it up temporarily). 2 Ore will give you 1 bar so buy whichever is cheapest.
I bought 96 Ghost Iron Ore which cost 804g.
- Take the portal from Org/Stormwind to Jade Forest
- If you bought the ore Pick up Mining from the trainer in the village you spawn at
- Fly to Stoneplow Village in VotFW
- Go to the Engineering trainer at Nessingwary's Safari
- Smelt all the ore here into bars if you bought it
- Make 12 * High-Explosive Gunpowder
- Make 12 * Ghost Iron Bolts
- This got me to level 18. Since these two recipes go green at 13 you might be at a lower/higher level
- Craft as many G91 Landsharks as you need to get to level 25. I needed 7.
- Learn the recipe from the trainer and you're done
You can buy the tinker kits at Legion Dalaran at the vendor next to the Engineering trainer, no need to craft them using Pandaria Engineering (they're dirt cheap from the vendor).You can use the macro

Goblin Glider is seriously one of my favourite things in MoP, hell, it's one of my favourite things in WoW. Currently my wow playing consists of trying to find high places to jump down from and look at the views and try to land as far as possible and I'm sure my non-engineer friends are tired of listening to "OMG LOOK AT THE MAP I JUST FLEW FROM A TO B LOOK AT WHERE I AM BRO"
Also as soon as I found out there's an Alliance "capital" city in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, I mounted up, went on the top of Mount Neverest, jumped right off it towards the vale and what do you know, about a minute later I was in the Shrine of the Seven Stars.
Also a rather unfair advantage in BG's is that in Twin Peaks for one you can jump right off the Alliance fort stairs and you'll fly all the way to the other side of the river. In Arathi Basin you can 'parachute' to the BS as per usual, but also to stables, farm and gold Mine. In AV? Haven't tried yet, but I imagine from one of those towers on the Horde side you can float to the FoS and so on. I can already hear the nerf hammer for the *!@#$%.
I don't know what it is about this that makes such a huge difference to flying, but it's just so much more fun and feels so awesome. Makes me sad to realise people probably find it not-so-awesome once everyone's 90 and you can just fly everywhere again.
But as it is now, it deserves all the love you can give to it. Seriously, if you're an engineer, make one and go up to Mount Neverest or to the big bridge in the Jade Forest near Dawn's Blossom and FEEL THE AWESOMENESS.
Edit: Glider is a curseword? Interesting.
Edit2. Also the duration is currently bugged, because when it reaches 0 the glider doesnt disappear, you just keep on going. Which is nice cause otherwise I Would've died today.
Tooltip
Permanently attaches a specialized folding assembly to a cloak, allowing you to deploy a goblin glider and fall slowly for 2 min. The glider has some initial thrust and allows you to turn while falling.
The cloak can only be used once every three minutes and requires a Pandaria Engineering skill of at least 1 to operate.
