Engineering

Engineering is the Crafting Trade Skill responsible for gathering tools, engineered weapon recipes, and a variety of utility items. Engineers work primarily at a Workshop and rely heavily on refined wood and metal, with leather and specialized components appearing throughout the profession.

Quick Facts

Gathering Tools

One of Engineering’s most important roles is the production of Pickaxes, Logging Axes, Skinning Knives, and Sickles. Higher-tier tools gather faster and can carry profession perks that improve gathering speed, yield, luck, or other utility.

This creates a useful economic loop: gathering provides Engineering materials, Engineering produces better gathering tools, and those tools improve future resource collection.

Weapons and Utility

Engineering also crafts a selection of weapon and utility recipes. These crafts frequently combine Woodworking and Smelting materials with leather, special drops, and profession-specific components.

Progression

Engineering levels through crafting at its associated stations. Higher profession levels unlock more advanced tools and equipment, while the First Craft Bonus rewards players for producing a broad range of recipes for the first time.

Connected Trade Skills

Engineering relies especially on Woodworking, Smelting, and Leatherworking, connecting it strongly to Logging, Mining, and Skinning.
