Engineering
Project Lore Editor
Engineers create a number of useful and fun items that are among the most powerful in the game. Not only can engineers craft guns, ammo, and scopes, but also they can make some of the best head pieces in the game, items that teleport the user, Goblin Jumper Cables (and the XL version) which can resurrect people, repair bots, and even flying mounts. Most items created by engineering are only useful to engineers, however.

Mining supplies many of the raw materials needed to craft items with engineering. For this reason, it is an excellent pairing profession for Engineers especially on a first character while leveling up.
A few schematics use leather, but not nearly as many as metal from mining. However, if an engineer has a mining alt, leatherworking can be useful to supply the leather necessary for crafting those items.
Again, only truly viable if the engineer has either a lot of money or an alt with mining, jewelcrafting will allow one to create some very useful jewelry, and at higher levels, gems for socketing equipment.
[tab:Money]
Since most engineering items require engineering to use, it may be difficult to make money with the skill. However, there are still a few options for picking up a few coins. Guns and ammunition are some of the best sellers for engineers. There are some very good gun schematics, and crafted shot is better than common ammo available from vendors, which makes both desirable, especially to hunters. Scopes are also the only available enhancement for ranged weapons, so they also sell well to hunters. There are also some quests that need items that only engineers can make. Some such items are Bronze Tube (Alliance), Deadly Blunderbuss (Horde), Gyrochronatom, Advanced Target Dummy, Mithril Casing, and Hi-Explosive Bomb. Lastly, some other fun items that players like to purchase are Goblin Rocket Boots, or non-combat pets like the Mechanical Squirrel Box.
One extremely useful and profitable item for Engineers to create is a Mote Extractor, which can be used in the Outlands in conjunction with a pair of goggles to farm many Primal Air, Water, Shadow, and Mana in a relatively short amount of time. The goggles will make the clouds visible on the minimap, which will make farming go much faster.
