Allows an engineer to make basic contraptions up to a maximum potential skill of 75. Requires stone and metal found with the mining skill.
How it works
Engineering is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Trade Skill (effect type 47).
- Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.
What it does
Engineering is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Trade Skill effect.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
