as handy as having the Ultimate Gnomish Army Knife is the 1 thing id like to see happen to this is turn it into a toy. This way all of our toons can get the professions perks of it and if the toon is an engineer they can use the jumper cable part of it.
I think if it was turned into a toy we would lose the profession tool portion of the item. Toys don’t do anything until you use them, and the only on-use of the army knife is the engineer-only ressurection.
Speaking of the ressurection, at least a few years ago, the standard rule was that toys shouldn’t do anything that impacts gameplay…or something like that. The army knife would break that rule.
Engineering makes fewer salable items than other professions. Why make their limited market smaller?
I feel Enginering as more of a stable sellable sorce then other professions. What i mean is the other professions sellable items are mostly the ‘new’ patterns that come out that expansion in which people make a ton of gold from the first couple months then drops off if not stops where engineering has all those Toys, mounts, and toys which most have stablized to be certain amount.
