WoW Engineering

Engineering is definitely the most complicated and creative World of Warcraft profession. Engineers are able to create many diverse and unique items found nowhere else in the game. As they create items they are able to create higher level engineering items which are even more unique and valuable. Engineers are able to specialize in either gnomish or goblin engineering, each which allow players to make different items. Some of the items engineers can create include guns, scopes, jumper cables (which can revive dead characters), dynamite, bombs, mines, and repair bots (which can repair gear).

The downside to engineering is that it is very complex. Normally many crafted parts or other miscellaneous items are required to make just one item. Because of this it is not incredibly easy to power level your engineering skill level up. In addition to this, the mining that most engineers takes a lot of time. Engineering is also not really a money making profession. Most of the items engineers create are parts or neat items that are engineer only. Also there are many miscellaneous items such as leather, cloth, and other oddities that are found in all different ways from farming mobs to fishing, that must either be bought or farmed.

Engineering is a great profession to train if you'd like to experience something a little outside the box. While most profession formula are pretty unexciting, with engineering players are usually able to create something fun, humorous, or useful. So if you don't mind th
