Engineering is the best combined with Mining. If you level your Engineering with Mining, you will save a lot of gold. Specially when you have to use Mithril and Thorium, because they aren't hard to find, but they are really expensive at the AH. If you don't have Mining, you have to buy everything and you will need a lot of gold again.

It is important to buy a [Gnomish Army Knife] from the Auction House before you start. It is used to replaceGyromatic Micro-Adjustor, Arclight Spanner and Blacksmith Hammer. If youcan't afford to buy one, you will have to make a GyromaticMicro-Adjustor and Arclight Spanner while you level your Engineering andyou also need to buy a Blacksmith Hammer from the Blacksmith supplyvendor, it's near your trainer.

Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomishor Goblin Engineering. The main difference between both sides is thelocation of their respective teleporters and the ability of theirtrinkets. Some items require a specific specialization to use, whileother items are crafted by one specialization but are usable by anyengineer. Fortunately, most recipes that are crafted by oneSpecialization can be worn by both.
