[WOWC][PROFESSION] Engineering - presentation
I ve looked so far in my native language and then here on the US forum, I didn’t found a clear and objective presentation -execpt the one I’ve already done- about Engineering and the specialization of this profession -especially with the BOE and BOP-.
I prefer beg your pardon in advance for some grammar mistakes.
This first written support is done in order to then make some vids on it in my native language since there already is many in english which are quite accurate [modulo vanilla data vs Pserver data vs classic data].
i)This message will be edited at every proved mistake in it.
ii)This is a try of an objective presentation.
iii)The reader might find some knowledge in here, but could find it unreadable, he can then propose a better presentation
iv) There are some differences between WOW Vanilla - WOW Private Server - WOW Classic that the reader will understood on some procs/items/etc.
Index of abbreviations:
BOE: Binds when (Of course) Equipped => you can trade this item with other players.
BOP: Binds when Picked up => you can’t trade it.
ING: Engineering
SB: soulbound => already linked/soulbound to your character.
mats: materials
stuff: is not an abbreviations but used here mean “gear” or “equipment”
P : probability
- General overview:
The ING profession is a crafting profession -from raw mats like stones, metals, elements & product from others crafting professions- in order to create trinkets, head stuff,guns and magazines, tools/utilities/facilities which could have some niche situation.
Grenades can stun a group of target and deal damage to all of them. Reflect spells can avoid you some corps run and kill an opponent. Parachute can avoid you the number 1 killer in all of wow history after Hogger.
Inside the profession itself, there are fifty shades of gnome-no there are only 2 gnomes and goblin-.

- Jumble
In the following statements are some observations about the profession where some new player questionning themselves about engineering in wow classic could find some answer.
3.1) Reciepes:
Most of the reciepes are droppable on specific mobs -world, dungeon, raid- which make this profession one of those most satisfying to upgrate with the feeling of satisfaction with the achievement of collecting all -or most- of the reciepies.
Keep in mind however that the availability is limited for those from raid boss loot table -example: biznick -.
3.2)Money
In this section will state some craft avalable while lvling that might be usefull to sell to others player and then the late content that might be sold as well in order to make some profit.
3.2.1)model: Object - Quest:
Gyrochronatom - “Gyro… What?”
Deadly Blunderbuss - “Warsong Saw Blades”
3.2.2) 300/300 money maker:
Goblin Jumper Cables XL => for any good raider without a rez and some ability to survive to whipe -hear me rogues and hunters-.
Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope => any class needing some hit chances on a ranged weapon (for melee and range hits).
Force Reactive Disk => usefull AOE tanking item -except if it loses durability on procs-
3.3) Time :
Gathering the raw materials -even unsual ones- is attainable -not easy, not that hard- without a raid.
Moreover it might be faster to upgrate engineering to max skill than mining. Compare to other profession , the last stage to maximise your skill is simplified with the reciepe Thorium Shells.
What is required to keep in mind is that engineering bring a lot of utilities, easily max skilled and bring some wealth to some people with plans and clients.
I hope it helps a bit some reader looking for some explanation -wait, does it even interest someone, this long LONG OVERVIEW?-. I hope that this is easily readable and without too many grammar mistakes. If there are any mistakes -content part- let me know, i will edit. If you have a better idea for the written presentation part, let me know ! Thanks for reclaim ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
and potential enhancement.
