WoW Engineering Guide

The first thing to understand about WoW Engineering is…IT’S FUN.
You get to create all kinds of entertaining and amazing things to help other players. You can make your own mobile store, mechanical toys (yes even dragons) specialised helmets and transportation equipment…it’s amazing.
WoW Engineering Guide points out that what is important to understand, is that MOST of the things an engineer can build can only be used by engineers. So you will be very popular.
You can build a MOTORCYCLE…and in fact you can build it for other people…but they are expensive. The parts (mats) are really hard to find or make. Of course you get to make a lot of money building them for others.
If being an Engineer is your thing, then you should probably consider mining as your other profession. The Engineer makes great use of ore smelted into bars and the easiest way to get that ore would be to mine it yourself. In addition,WoW Engineering recipes also include Jewels, and they also come out of mining although some will need to be bought. Finally you can buy jewels and ore on the Auction House, but the good ones will NOT be cheap.
