Engineering
Overview
Engineering is a primary crafting profession. It lets you craft gadgets, toys and bombs.
It pairs naturally with Mining, which provides the metal it needs. Gnomes have the Engineering Specialization ability, which makes engineering gear more reliable.
What this profession is for
- Craft gadgets and items that are useful while exploring or in combat.
- Craft bombs.
- Place a Reagent Bot at the camp, which lets you buy reagents and sell items.
Learning the profession
Engineering is learned from an engineering trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a character level and a minimum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill and level 10.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill and level 20.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill and level 35.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In brackets, what each trainer teaches: 75 (Apprentice rank, from 0 to 75), 75 + (Journeyman rank, from 75 to 150), 150 + (Expert rank, from 150 to 225), 225 + (Artisan rank, from 225 to 300).
