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.
If you choose to be a Gnome you'll be able to get a bonus from the Engineering profession. While this will help somewhat at lower levels, as the game progresses this advantage will become less and less noticeable.
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.
The one tool I recommend you make as soon as you can (you'll need to have a skill level of 450) is a Gnomish Army Knife. You can make this knife regardless of your players' level so work on your engineering and make it ASAP - this tool has a heap of extremely useful applications.
One of the main reasons that I suggested you pair Engineering with Mining is that you'll need a lot of metal in order to upskill your profession. Mining can give this to you. Furthermore, mining is a great gathering profession to have as its one of the most profitable in WoW.
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.
