World of Warcraft Engineering Guide
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.
The best profession to choose to accompany Engineering is Mining. When you leave the beginning zone, ask the guard where to find both trainers for Engineers and Miners.
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!
In order to improve your Engineering skill you are going to need a massive amount of metal. That's the reason Mining is best paired with Engineering. As a positive side effect, Mining is also arguably WoW most lucrative profession.
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.
I hope the tips I've mentioned above will serve you well. For more information about the Engineering profession or just about WoW in general, visit the links below.
