WoW Engineering Guide 1-450

Engineering is a fun profession that uses metals gathered from miners to create all kinds of gadgets and toys. It isn't a huge gold making profession but it can make lots of useful bind on pickup item enhancements for the engineer.

First, visit any of your factions major cities in Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor. If you can't find the trainer just ask a guard. You will be making a lot of items that you will need later so I'd recommend hanging onto everything you make until you get to 450 if possible.
