Engineering Workshop

"If you build it, they will probably run away. Because what you built will likely explode. " 

The tinker's sacred home and playground, the Engineering Workshop is ground zero for the production of any & all Engineering devices and parts. Functioning similarly to a Blacksmithing facility, the primary purpose of the Workshop is a common ground where metals may be smelted and stones may be crushed for the common purpose of producing Engineering components which may be used for other devices or to be sold. The Workshop is adorned wall to wall with gadgets, gizmos, supplies, tools, and a wide variety of failed or unsold inventions.

The shapes and sizes of workshops vary drastically, to the point that some are so different from one another that it becomes a challenge to discern what is and what isn't an Engineering workshop. In the years following the Third War, many Blacksmithing facilities were retooled to also suit most of the needs of Tinkers & Engineers. This was done because of the critical use of siege weapons, explosives, and other machines during the Third War that won many battles for both the Alliance & the Horde.

Needless to say, many Goblins followed suit and soon Workshops began to close down as various Tinkers simply began using local Blacksmiths to work & build in. Despite this, however, some Workshops grew in size and became retailing outfits for the growing firearms market. Although mortars, whizzle grenades, flying machines, and many other strangely named devices have remained in the hands of trained Engineers, firearms are growing as the favored weapons among many militaries & militias across Azeroth and Workshops are seeing profits skyrocket with mass-production of guns.

Although Blacksmiths remain the backbone of military production for armor & weapons, the Engineering Workshop serves as the go-to place for filling out the rest of your armory, up to and including that siege tank you always wanted.
