Wow almost gaming engineering guide

Register Don't have an account? Manual of Engineering Disciplines. Edit this page. History Talk 0. The Engineering Disciplines While it is arguable which race first devised the science of engineering on Azeroth , there is little argument as to which races are the main proponents of it in modern times: the gnomes and the goblins.

Gnome Engineering The gnomes as a race tend to excel in the design of items intended to manipulate and control the world around them. Goblin Engineering As a race that finds itself as neutral in almost every conflict, goblins have taken great steps to turn science into profit. Discipline Study Gnomes and goblins protect their knowledge from each other to such lengths that it is nigh impossible to access both sets of disciplines simultaneously.

Permanent Decisions The previous section highlighted an important point about the two engineering disciplines that must be reiterated for the sake of education.

Quotes "You want to know about goblin engineering? Categories World of Warcraft common quest items World of Warcraft book items. So I was wondering why those professions are able to craft ilvl gear where as the engineering profession is only able to make ilvl ?

We all use chaos orbs, so what gives? Comment by Thaag Who else is scratching their heads when they realize the two top weapons we can craft require an orb but are only i? Are our skills going to be as obsolete as they were when raiding started in LK? Maybe moreso, now that ammo is no longer needed? I feel like a mage. Comment by pkarsai The membership renewal system is no longer in the game. Please remove the obsolete information from the introduction.

Comment by I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning the portals. If you're not a mage, engineering's 3 portals are how you don't wait to farm barring getting turned into a chicken.

When you meet a mage somewhere, and it takes you 20min in flying and it took them 3sec You will not find much profit from this profession, but the multitude of very amazing toys makes up for it.

Outlands is by far the worst in my opinion for leveling the profession. Classic and Northrend are amazingly easy now. Comment by Syconder Why has it not been said that this is nearly perfect for hunters. Being able to make some of the best guns for leveling, and being able to make the only enchants for ranged weapons, as well as ammo back in the good ol' days. Comment by I am surprised it doesn't say that you can 'deconstruct' mechanical enemies and get extra loot.

Comment by xspillcanvas For those of you who want to level engineering fast, and have the money to do so, look up the cataclysm engineering guide on a nifty site called WoW-professions no, this is not advertisement. It provides a detailed step-by-step guide into leveling your engineering the whole way! It should really take a few hours of dedication to stroll from I invested close to g in total speed leveling this, and I must say it's worth it.

Be sure to stop by Tanaris and pick up Goblin Engineering, or Gnome Engineering not sure where to get it, didn't care for it and the Personal World Destroyer s get you quiet a few gold on the AH! Good luck from Nazjatar. Comment by You can only learn the goggles that goes with your class.

Check the quick facts box at the top of the page to each goggles to know which class can make them. Even tho they share the same stats its just different names for different classes. In exchange for that you will receive a gift that has a chance to contain the schematics for a rare pet specific to your specialization.

Comment by How do you change from goblin engineering to gnomish engineering? Comment by i like engineering but its a pain to find all the items you need for all of the cool items. Comment by staron My blacksmith can craft items with recipes bought right off the vendors. My tailor the same. My engineer sits with 15 chaos orbs and not to do with them.

You do get a head piece that noone else gets, similar to alchemy making a trinket, but you cannot sell anything. There is a gun recipe which requires grinding Hyjal for weeks to get. My hunter has landed the crossbow doing much fewer runs in FL than it would take my engineer to get the marks of the world tree to make an inferior weapon. Engineers should be able to make BOE trinkets or helmets with recipes right off the vendors to balance them with tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking.

Comment by Frahaleah Does the engineering enchants override the Enchanter's enchants? Comment by Love the helicopter and it's been awesome to fly around in I really like it. Can't wait to get my engineering to so I can fly around in the souped-up helicopter Engineers lead the way!

Comment by Ah, engineering! The profession for making some of the most useless items in the game. I say useless because the materials needed to make a lot of items in order to level up engineering make it almost impossible to keep engineering on par with your character's level ie craft items useable against MOBs and enemy players around your level.

So you craft it then don't need it and you can't sell it on AH because nobody can use it and other engineers rarely need most of what other engineers create unless it's a part for making something else. You can only sell it to a vendor for far less than the time and money you spent in making it.

You definitely need a guild or a higher level character with access to gold and mats to do Engineering properly. Otherwise you're just making a lot stuff you don't need and nobody else can use just to level up your engineering and some of the schematics require ridiculous amounts of different mats requiring several professions and drops some of them rare.

This means a lot of money spent at the AH and a lot of time spent farming for mats and gold which to do either will push your character's exp past the point of needing the item.

There are also sizable gaps between schematics you can learn from a trainer sometimes points from one skill to the next; plus there is the beauty of finally learning something and it's a yellow or green from the getgo so you can't level pretty far with it. Then there are those schematics that being able to learn them or make them are completely out of your level ability.

My favorite is the Schematic: Arcanite Dragonling which requires level 50 and Engineering but to get the schematics you need Wormhole Generator: Northrend which requires Engineering and thus level 65 to do when the item is of little use to you for PVE, PVP, or leveling up your engineering! Of course you could buy it on the AH for several hundred gold if you can spare it which seems the only reason to get it - to make some money from this practically profitless profession.

And from what I understand this item got nerfed so it doesn't level with you and so its only useful to you for a short span of time. Not really worth all the effort to make unless you are someone with access to gobs of cash and mats. Blizz seems afraid of this profession so they water it down with lackluster performance or worse with a high probability of failure which damages the user. Then they nerf items of the functions they were designed for: Saronite Bomb and Global Thermal Sapper Charge are both designed to create siege damage but in WinterGrasp a completely siege environment, neither of these bombs will work!

Don't get me wrong there are some cool stuff only engineers can make but can't make a profit off but too often it's of little use even for yourself and it costs a lot of time and money. It's like a number of things on WOW that sound cool in concept but really are often disappointingly underwhelming in reality like the Explosive Sheep which waddles about and maybe explodes but presently is bugged and won't explode unless attacked.

My advice? If you try engineering on your lonesome, it's going to be tough and if you want to keep it level with your character's level it will take a long time. My suggestion to Blizzard? Make engineering more practical and put more fun into it - actual fun.

Comment by Engineering is for the true American, look at our past and you'll see that we share a time honored tradition with the Goblins and Gnomes of Azeroth I'll take engineering over chemistry, alchemy, botany or any other trade skill any day! Go Engineer something my goblin allies! For the Horde!

Comment by wigglemonster I'm kind of disappointed that nothing new came out for engineering in the 4. Other professions have new things to learn.

Jewlcrafting, leather working, etc. I hope to see new craftables from engineering. Comment by newhon63 I need to know if there a place to get what each disipline of Engineering is able to make. Sort of like how they have to compare what an Aldor gets compared to being Scryer. My toon has engineering and I am at that crossroads, I like explosives but there are things on the Gnome side that I like too. Comment by Hey i've got a goblin hunter who is a goblin eng. Comment by sixxis Can anyone let me know if there is still a way for Horde to renew a gnomish membership at all please?

I can't seem to find the trainer. Comment by By far the most useful function of engineering is the ability to summons repair-bots. This can evade a "technical" wipe very easily. Comment by Drakhma this proffesion requirs alot of work , and if you dont have a miner then itll cost you alot of gold too.

Comment by Jollygood People have commented on the expenses of engineering. They aren't lying. If you don't mine, you spend a lot of gold buying things from miners. If you do mine, you use up all your stock, so you are not making gold from selling the stuff. Either way, Engineering is more a labor of love and a great source of entertainment. If you are a PvP player, this profession offers you some surprises for the other players.

Low level players out questing will love target dummies. They do work. Bombs are just fun. I had a low level 'toon now gone who made a bunch of bombs and I spent a half hour laughing and throwing bombs at level 1 mobs in Durotar.

If you are a new player and only have one or two characters, I would not recommend it. New players would be better served as gatherers, so they can make gold and level faster via the exp points from herbalism.

Plus, gatherers can find crafters, getting the items they want by providing the materials and tipping the crafter well. At max level, it's a good idea to have an alchemist to do transmutes. My main's the third character I created. She's a warlock engineer. These are the things that have been very useful: Transport devices.

I can get to Winterspring and Area Kinda like being a poor man's mage. Parachute on cloak. Get knocked in the air? Get a soft landing. Depending on how the current release has nerfed 'locks and my level of inattention at 2AM, bombs are great for when I run out of mana and am low on health.

Bombs are fun. I love Jeeves. I don't raid a lot, but people love me when we've wiped a few times and need repairs. Moll-E: Bags full? No problem. Ship it to an alt in the middle of the Uldum desert. Headgear: As a low level gnome, she was a little killer with her OP headgear. Weird Trinkets: Mechanical dragonlings, etc. They only are good for a couple of levels, but they're fun. So there.

General funtimes: The animations on some of these things is vastly entertaining. I love the goblin barbeque and squander them all the time in guild runs just because they're fun. Other animations while making stuff are cool Electirifed ether sometimes knocks my 'lock on her butt. Engineering puts the "fun" part in the concept of "game" Transporter accidents. Remember that in-depth class knowledge and min-maxing your Warcraft characters go hand in hand.

See which areas, quests, and even stats you need to fulfill the specific role you want. By Level 10, you can start doing what we call specialization. Within all Warcraft classes, there are two to three specializations. These will streamline your growth, helping you to fill your roles much better. By Patch 7. You would need to visit trainers who will do the reset for a fee.

Choosing a profession is essential in WoW. You can have up to two professions per character in your Warcraft characters. Not only are there quests that can utilize professions but you can also use it to gather enough money. If you want to play further, this is worth the time. Much better, WoW better plays by joining a Guild. Beyond that, you can also gain friends and comrades along the way. Because you heard that it was too hard?

Because you heard it was too expensive? Well, it might be both of those — but it is also the profession that allows you to have some of the coolest toys that there are in the game.
