Engineering Picked the wrong Engineering specialization.

I have chosen the wrong specialization for engineering, I've seen a similar post on the forums (but not quite the same) and there is a reported issue in the bug tracker saying "Soothsaying for dummies" is bugged.


Is there a way to switch from Goblin engineer to Gnomish engineer?
 
You could have googled, but Im bored and did it for you, youre welcome.

"Since patch 3.2.0, Gnomish Engineers and Goblin Engineers can now switch profession specializations for a fee."

From wowwiki. So I dont think so. I only searched for 5 mins, maybe theres some more info
 
I know that the ability to change specializations was implemented in this patch, as I obviously googled the issue before I reported it.

The problem is it is not currently working on Kronos and I was enquiring about a way around it.
 
Did you report this ?

remember when reporting a bug to include everything as well as screenshot/record evidence and a link to old discussion, recording or patch note proving it existed in 1.12.1
 
I've been instructed to email Chero, he is obviously aware of the issue as he has resolved it before for another player.

Thanks for the advice.

Scroll down to "Switching specializations ".
Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): Gnomish Engineers and Goblin Engineers can now switch profession specializations for a fee.
To do so, you must travel to the hut of Narain Soothfancy in the far north-eastern corner of Tanaris, just north of Steamwheedle Port. Read the book "Soothsaying for dummies" on the table in the hut and it will give you the option to unlearn your current specialization. The fee is 150 gold. Once you have lost your specialization you will need to speak with the specialization trainers in Gadgetzan for Goblin Engineering or Ironforge/Booty Bay for Gnomish.


There is correctly no way for you to switch specialization while keeping skill level. In order to swap you must unlearn the profession completely and start over.

Correct, but don't do that quite yet. Engineering specializations are currently bugged and remain even after you unlearn the proffesion. Its been reported in the bugtracker for a long time.
 
That was the point I was trying to make, thanks for articulating it Hagson.

I have unlearned and re-learned Engineering from scratch as a matter of course, But that is where the bug was discovered. That now lies with Chero and the book in Steamwheedle port.

Thanks for the replies, PBW
 
I've been told to contact Chero, I've tried every manor of communication and its been weeks! I just cannot seem to get a reply, it looks as if this may never be resolved :(
 
I remember reading somewhere that theres a book/quest item that you need to complete before unlearning the profession to reset the specialization.
 
You got any sources that unlearning a profession should drop the specialisation too? Words of mouth claim its blizzlike.
