WoW Engineering Guide

by Seth Symonds

In WoW there are 14 professions you can choose from, Engineering is one of them. Engineering skills are in high demand once you reach the end game. In this guide you’ll learn some tips and tricks to help you succeed with this profession as well as some ways you can use it to make large amounts of gold.

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.

Gnomes are the only race that receive a bonus from Engineering. While this might help you at lower levels, by the time you have a high level this advantage would have cancelled itself out.

Mining is probably the most appropriate gathering profession to go with Engineering so make sure you pick this when you start. To find both the Mining and Engineering trainers ask the guard as you are leaving the newbie zone.

One tool you need to create as an Engineer is the Gnomish Army Knife. You’ll need to have a skill level of 450 to make it but there is no limit to your characters level. Take my advice and make this as soon as possible – it has a wide range of benefits!

The reason I suggested that you choose Mining as your gathering profession is because to improve your Engineering skill you need a heap of metal. The other benefit to being a miner is that you will also be able to make a heap of gold as Mining is one of the most lucrative professions 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.
