⚙️Engineering Guide ⚙️

Overview
Engineering is the skill for upgrading tools, crafting mechanical devices, building traps, and enhancing ranged gear. It combines aspects of Smithing, Crafting, and Fletching. XP gained in Engineering contributes to all three skills simultaneously.

Progression ranges from level 10 to 297+, with higher levels unlocking more complex items. Efficient crafting requires planning, stockpiling materials, and following tier progression.
