Engineering has long been one of World of Warcraft's staple professions. The profession that gives players speed boosts with rocket boots, fall speed with parachutes, and numerous other benefits such as mobile repair stations, goggles, and more has always had its niche.
This type of benefit can be expected come Wrath of the Lich King Classic's release, as this cold-hearted expansion will have tons of new recipes to learn and items for Engineers to craft.
With that in mind, here's an in-depth guide for Engineering in WotLK Classic.

What does engineering offer in WotLK Classic?
Once WotLK Classic launches, there will be tons of items and other features players can benefit from.
To start it off, there are lots of gear that players can benefit from, especially at the start of the expansion. These include weapons such as the Armor Plated Combat Shotgun or the Nesingwary 4000 and Epic Helmet pieces such as the Armored Titanium Goggles, Greensight Gogs, Visage Liquification Goggles, Weakness Spectralizers, and more.
On top of the gear, players can also create a number of fun or useful items as mentioned before. These include mounts such as the Mechano-hog for Horde and the Mekgineer's Chopper for Alliance, projectiles for the aforementioned weapons such as Saronite Razorheads, Mammoth Cutters, or the ever so beneficial mobile mailbox, MOLL-E, and mobile repair, Jeeves.
