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.
Any of the classes in WoW can learn to become Engineers. Out of all the classes, I believe that the Hunter’s are most suited to being Engineers as they rely on items Engineers produce – items such as bullets, arrows, and guns.
The only race to receive a bonus from Engineering are Gnomes. Initially this bonus might be useful but as your level increases this advantage will become less and less significant.
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.
As an Engineer you will want to make sure you make a Gnomish Army Knife as soon as you can. There is no limitation regarding your characters level needed to make one but your engineering skill will have to be at 450. I highly recommend you do everything you can to make one of these as soon as possible – they have a wide range of useful benefits and uses!
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.
