Engineering 4.0.6

[Taelas]

What about the people who don't have a gathering prof to go with their engineering? I know people in guild who are ENG/Tailor, ENG/BS, ENG/ENchanting.

Giving Engineering a "Money Maker" that needs to be paired with another gathering profession is not a true money maker. This is why people want clouds back.

I mean, Alchemists aren't required to have Herbalism to make gold. They can pair Alchemy with any other profession and it makes gold independantly. The same goes for Every other profession.

Engineering cannot buy materials and turn a profit that way, no. But profits are pretty thin if you're hunting the margins between the cost of the materials and the price of the finished products.

You're not going to get much of a profit out of selling your ability to craft things, either, unless your specific patterns are extremely rare.

If you want to earn money through professions, you need gathering professions.

Engineering has made more money for me than JCing has, by the way. Volatile Air sells extremely well.
