Stats Guide for Engineering in The War Within

All stats have their uses, but for Engineering we recommend focusing on Ingenuity and Resourcefulness to be able to craft higher quality gear at lower costs.

For crafting reagents, cogwheels, bombs, or Embellishments such as the Energy Redistribution Beacon, focus on Multicraft instead, with Ingenuity being a good secondary to maximize profit when crafting Rank 3 items with cheap Rank 2 materials through Concentration.

Keep in mind that once you are fully maxed with profession skill, gear, and talents, you will be able to produce maximum rank items when using Rank 3 materials naturally, without needing to use Concentration, so at that point you should either swap all of your Ingenuity gear to Resourcefulness or use lower rank materials plus Concentration, instead.

For more information on profession stats and gear, please refer to our dedicated guide below:

Engineers, like most other professions, can use three pieces of gear at once, 1 tool and 2 accessories. Blue-quality gear is best in slot.

Quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require specialization, faction, or renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.

Remember to enchant your crafting tool with your choice of Enchant Tool - Algari Ingenuity or Enchant Tool - Algari Resourcefulness.

You can also use the Alchemy-crafted Phials Phial of Concentrated Ingenuity, Phial of Enhanced Ambidexterity, or Phial of Bountiful Seasons during the Winter part of the year to temporarily increase your crafting stats.

Finally, consider using optional reagents such as Mirror Powder and Concentration Concentrate on expensive crafts that can benefit from their one-time boosts, as these tend to be quite cheap, especially at low ranks!

Below, you will find a list of gear that Engineering can make for other professions.
