WoW Engineering Gold Guide Part 2

Below is an overview video and detailed walk-through on how to easily make gold with Engineering. As shown in the video, this made me 2,914g in net sales with a profit of 1,819g over 4 days! Engineering can be profitable but always make sure to test things out on your server to see what will work best for you.
- Check out my Engineering Leveling 1-525 Guide for a great way to level Engineering.
- WoW Engineering Gold Guide Part 2: Overview - Make epic guns, arrows, bullets, and scopes..
WoW Engineering Gold Guide Part 2: Materials and Crafting Items
- During my testing I found the epic guns, arrows, bullets, and scopes listed below to be the best sellers. I suggest getting the mats by farming them yourself, asking other players, or if cheap enough, buying them from the Auction House. The prices I've listed are for my server, Arthas, and yours may differ +/-.
[Armor Plated Combat Shotgun] - Sold 2 for 800g each (507g in profit!)
Mats:
[Titanium Bar] x 10 = 100g
[Saronite Bar] x 20 = 28g
[Eternal Air] x 15 = 75g
[Eternal Water] x 15 = 60g
[Frozen Orb] x 1 = 25g
[Walnut Stock] x 1 = 5g[Nesingwary 4000] - Sold 1 for 900g (512g in profit!)
Mats:
[Titanium Bar] x 10 = 100g
[Sun Scope] x 3 = 60g
[Eternal Fire] x 12 = 180g
[Eternal Shadow] x 12 = 18g
[Frozen Orb] x 1 = 25g
[Walnut Stock] x 1 = 5g[Saronite Razorheads] - Sold 33 for 9.24g each (6.44g in profit!)
Mats:
[Saronite Bar] x 2 = 2.8g[Mammoth Cutters] - Sold 7 for 15.57g each (11.67g in profit!)
Mats:
[Saronite Bar] x 1 = 1.4g
[Volatile Blasting Trigger] x 1 = 2.5g[Heartseeker Scope]
Mats:
[Saronite Bar] x 10
[Twilight Opal] x 2
WoW Engineering Gold Guide Part 2: Auctioning Items and Engineering Perks
- Once you've crafted all of the items, list them on the Auction House for 24 hours.
If you have trouble selling the guns, I found they sell in the trade channel fairly well. I just periodically spammed 'WTS' between Arena, BGs, and raids.
- Engineering is an awesome and fun profession to have, because of all the perks listed below. Being able to make gold with it, is just another bonus.

WoW Engineering Gold Guide Part 2: Final Suggestions and Tips
- Once you get the hang of how much you sell begin purchasing mats during the weekend; they are typically the cheapest on the weekend.
The main reason for this, is most players aren't actually raiding on the weekends and have a lot more time to gather mats. With the abundance of mats comes the simple economic rule of supply exceeding demand which leads to lower prices. This doesn't mean 100% of the time they will be cheaper on the weekend but instead it makes it more likely. After you get a feel for mat prices you can purchase them throughout the week for the lowest prices.
- Checking on mats everyday will get you familar with who sells what.
Pay attention and take a look at who is selling mats all the time and message them to sell directly to you at a discount. This will save you big on the craft costs. I have countless farmers listed on my friend's list who I deal with regularly to get the cheapest price possible.
- Finally, World of Warcraft isn't just about making gold and really should be the smallest part of your playtime.
I hope this Engineering Gold Guide Part 2 will help you get rich in World of Warcraft but at the same time free up farm time so you can actually enjoy the game for what it is meant to be; fun! So, don't sit at your computer 24-7 just to make gold. Go out, raid, PvP, whatever, just make sure to have fun (^_^)v.
Good luck and I hope you enjoyed this guide. If you have any suggestions, comments, or feedback, please make a post on our forums.
