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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

One negative you might come across as an Enineer is that you won’t be able to sell everything you create. That’s because not all players can use the items you create, some items are just too technical for non-engineers. You can still make a wide variety of items that will serve as cash cows however, so go after the gold with those.
