Datamined Info For Engineers
As many of you already know Engineering is my most favorite profession within World of Warcraft. Colddrawn, my main, is a miner engineer, which allows me to benefit from the Electrostatic Condensor bonus for Volatile Airs from mining nodes. Overall, being an engineer hasn't seen a great many ways to profit in Cataclysm outside of companion pets (yet again).
Currently we Engineers have very limited uses for Chaos Orbs. A couple mediocre ranged weapons and our nice Engineering only Killshades are the only recipes for Engineers that require the Chaos Orbs. Even with the limited uses, I have continued to roll "Need" in heroic dungeons as I was hoping that Chaos Orbs would a) be required for future added Engineering recipes or b) become un-soulbound and be able to be sold or transfered to my other crafters. Well my looking ahead, or sheer greediness whichever you want to call it, is going to pay off in Patch 4.2.
New Engineer Crafted Weapons and Scopes
In Patch 4.2, Engineers will have another item to craft with the Chaos Orbs that we have been stockpiling. The following items have been datamined from the PTR data. We will be getting a new gun recipe and a couple of new scopes.
New Gun
Extreme-Impact Hole Puncher BoE Engineering crafted ilvl 365 Gun - Recipe binds on pick-up. this gun takes 5 Chaos Orbs to craft. Where the recipe will come from is still being speculated on as there is no concrete evidence yet of it's origin.
New Scopes
Flintlocke's Woodchucker Recipe binds on pick-up.
Squirrel Sights - item data-mined, but not implemented yet.
WarcraftEcon has an excellent write up covering a lot more of the new craftable weapons and gear coming in Patch 4.2. Check out the post on Patch 4.2 Firelands Preparation. Keep your eyes peeled at the Warcraft Econ Hall of Fame as my entry should be going live sometime soon. It's already included in the list of coming soon Hall of Fame posts for 500k. So keep your eye out for when it goes live.
