World of Warcraft has 14 different professions to choose from, one of which is Engineering. In this guide I am going to give and overview of the Engineering profession as well as some tips and tricks as to how you dominate this profession and make a heap of gold in the process.
The Engineering Profession can be learned by all classes in WoW but Engineering is, in my opinion best suited to the Hunter. The reason I say this is that Hunters primary weapons make full use of what Engineers produce – scopes, gun, bullets, etc.
If you choose to be a Gnome you’ll be able to get a bonus from the Engineering profession. While this will help somewhat at lower levels, as the game progresses this advantage will become less and less noticeable.
I have always found Mining to be the profession that is most suited to Engineering. When you are ready to leave the starting area at the beginning of the game make sure you ask for directions to both Engineering and Mining trainers.
The one tool I recommend you make as soon as you can (you’ll need to have a skill level of 450) is a Gnomish Army Knife. You can make this knife regardless of your players’ level so work on your engineering and make it ASAP – this tool has a heap of extremely useful applications.
One of the main reasons that I suggested you pair Engineering with Mining is that you’ll need a lot of metal in order to upskill your profession. Mining can give this to you. Furthermore, mining is a great gathering profession to have as its one of the most profitable in WoW.
A potential downside to becoming an Engineer is that you won’t be able to sell all of the items you create to just anyone. Some items need Engineering skills to use. That’s not to say you can’t make a killing with engineering items however, some items can sell for mega bucks.
