Just FYI, I have just completed 100 crafting orders, this is shown in the achievement Merchant Artisan which counts to 1,000 crafting orders. There was no achievement at 100 crafting orders completed.

Comment by Eskilator

I got 10 mining knowledge for talking with Grekka Anvilsmash with the title Master Blacksmith at the Obsidian Bulwark in the Waking Shore. I'm guessing the Maste Alchemist I saw somewhere might do the same for Herbalism?

Link for blacksmith NPC: Grekka Anvilsmash

Found an NPC with the title of Master Herbalist that a comment said gave 10 Herbalism knowledge.
Link for herb NPC: Hua Greenpaw

Comment by stoppableforce

Profession treasures are not only Bind on Pickup, but only players with that Profession can collect the specific treasures.

This is either inaccurate or confusingly-worded. I have opened treasures twice this week containing +3 knowledge point BOP items for professions I don't have. Granted, there's nothing I can do with them but delete them, but I can definitely collect those treasures.

EDIT: I see now, this just means these specific treasures, not the expedition scout's packs, which show up as treasures but definitely can contain things you can't use. Nevermind, carry on.

Comment by Mithorn

The skinning Guy is along the river banks in waking shore, just down river from Toads with an umbrella. Has the Masta Skinna title. 73.2 69.6
JC guy is in Azure Span inside a tower near one of the first campaign stops with a FP.

Comment by bleuwolfe

I received 10 knowledge from the skinning master, but only 5 knowledge from the leatherworking master....
Not sure if that's just the difference between gathering/crafting or knowledge gained is random

Comment by PradoxGamer

I only got 5 knowledge from Frizz Buzzcrank for Engineering

Comment by Matrixn1

also you can get 3 Dragon Shard of Knowledge from Haephesta in Waking Shores at this point /way 57.94 68.23
(ruby life pools) speak with Haephesta about i have worked with the artisan's consortium before and met khadin (you need don the quest about khadin) work for all alt hero

Comment by IGII2

There seems to be wrong/outdated info regarding how much knowledge and artisan's mettle you recieve for speaking with the Enchanting & Engineering masters.

Masters do not have quests -- but if you talk to them, you can get a whopping +10 Knowledge Points and +50 Artisan's Mettle just for speaking with them!

I recieved only half of this amount from both Enchanting and Engineering masters, +5 Knowledge points and +25 Artisan's mettle to be precise for each profession.

Other than that, thank you for the write up, helped a lot!

Comment by Goersen

Similarly to "Rare Side Gathers" there's also a grindable source for crafting professions. Some mobs drop +X knowledge items.
I had water elementals in Waking Shores drop this:
Elementious Splinter

I assume there are equivalent drops for the other crafting professions.
And I would guess that there are +3 knowledge items as well which would probably work identical to the gathered ones in regards to the weekly limit.

Comment by Prismajk

Be advised that you receive 5 artisan's mettle per knowledge point gained from Rahul's dusty notes in Valdrakken. So while the first gathering dusty note costs 100 artisan's mettle, you receive 75 back once you use the item and gain 15 knowledge points.

Comment by Interphantom

Tailoring master: /way Valdrakken 27.96 45.79 On the side of the tower facing west, about halfway up on a ledge.

Comment by Dacamor

Just completed 500 personal work orders for the achievement "Personal Crafter" and got no knowledge or shards of knowledge. Next would be the 1000 work orders achievement.

Comment by FoxForce90

Blacksmith Master does not give me anything unfortunately. I have neve been to waking shore before considering this is an alt, so I am sure I have not forgotten whether I have gotten it before or not.

Comment by Frankylu

You can also get Quest from the Darkmoon Event! Gives you basicly free +2 Skill Points, 3 Knowledge Points!

Same goes for fishing and Cooking

Comment by Tux2665

So I just realised I need to go all the way to a sub-spec to craft relevant gear, at which point I already spent all of my points I got unwisely. That's when I realised I can reset these. So given how slow it will be now to obtain the points, by the time I will be able to craft something relevant, it won't be relevant. I play the expansion with these new professions for like 4 days and I can drop professions completely already, because there is no point anymore ... :D. Great system.

Comment by srx30

For leatherworking you can get 3 Knowledge points from Raq in tuskar village.
He is a child tuskar in the basement where the storytellers are.

He will be playing on a broken drum and ask you to fix it twice, stick around and he gives you the drum. This drum gives 3 KP

Comment by Racinette

Blacksmithing master worked for me today.

Comment by swotam

The Blacksmithing Master seems to be working (at least it worked for me on Dec 10/22). Received 25 Artisan's Mettle and 5 Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge.

Comment by pjstar35

The Draconic Treatises that you can order from crafting also require 1 Burnished Ink that is not listed in this article. This is a required item for all crafting/gathering Draconic Treatise orders.

Comment by Moosplauze

There must be a chat command (true/false prompt) to check if you have already used a "Draconic Treatise" for your profession this week, right? I tend to forget if I used it this week or last week...please share if you know.

Comment by Xandraroes

Enchanters can earn a total of 12 knowledge from the Elemental Storm events in Season 1. Each of the four storms has a chance to drop their corresponding "Glimmer" from any affected mob in the areas: Glimmer of Earth, Glimmer of Frost, Glimmer of Fire, and Glimmer of Air. Each one provides 3 knowledge upon being disenchanted.

As of this writing, it's assumed these are one time drops and not weekly.

Comment by projecteulogy

Gained a lot of points getting to 100. But now i'm not getting any spec point items.. 2 hours mining all over DI and haven't obtained a single one. Made a TON of gold.. but no items? Is this bugged? I am no where NEAR maxed out on any of the trees. I guess i'll just stick to gold farming and saving up for some mounts i'm missing. Being unable to respec or earn spec items is a real buzzkill.

Comment by alpanhell

This is seriously lacking info on Darkmoon Faire. But admittedly it's been around for awhile and they just migrated the old crafting quests to be dragonflight versions. But if you're like me and don't remember how that all worked here's the info you need for a start.

Basically there are different people you talk to for different profs.

Tailoring is Selina Dourman and you need to make a banner Banners, Banners Everywhere!. You need mats for this 1 x Coarse Thread 1 x Red Dye 1 x Blue Dye
Enchanting is Sayge and quest is Putting Trash to Good Use
Alchemy is Sylannia and quest is A Fizzy Fusion. You need mats for this 5 x Moonberry Juice
JC is Chronos and quest is Keeping the Faire Sparkling
Engineering is Rinling and quest is Talkin' Tonks
BS is Yebb Neblegear and quest is Baby Needs Two Pair of Shoes. You need an Anvil for this
Inscription is Sayge and quest is Writing the Future. You need mats for this 5 x Light Parchment
LW is Rinling and quest is Eyes on the Prizes. You need mats for this 10 x Shiny Bauble 5 x Coarse Thread 5 x Blue Dye
Skinning is Chronos and quest is Tan My Hide
Mining is Rinling and quest is Rearm, Reuse, Recycle
Herbalism is Chronos and quest is Herbs for Healing
Fishing is Stamp Thunderhorn , quest is Spoilin' for Salty Sea Dogs.
Cooking is Stamp Thunderhorn, quest is Putting the Crunch in the Frog. You need mats for this 5 x Simple Flour
There is also an Archaelogy one with Professor Thaddeus Paleo, I imagine that's not Dragonflight related?

Comment by LStranger

Either I've missed something or it was missing in the Guide.
There are also weekly quests from Artisan's Consortium such as Mundane Gems, I Think Not! which give 3 knowledge points (2 for engineering still). All crafting professions, including alchemy and enchanting.
And there are also weekly quests from Artisan's Consortium such as Inscription Services Requested which also give 3 knowledge points (2 for engineering still). Weapon/armor crafting professions only though.
So far from quests we can gain 3 knowledge points for gathering professions each week, 6 ones for alchemy, enchanting, engineering and 9 ones for rest of crafting professions.

P.S. Updated my comment since professions trainers quests are not bi-weekly anymore and are available each week.

Comment by Socairnone

It seems to me that despite how Blizzard describe it or dress it up crafting has become needlessly more difficult and for some incomprehensible and whilst also becoming very more time consuming.

And now you can't just get mats make things and max out your craft now you have to choose specialisations within that craft and obtain those in manner that consumes the means by which you develop those skills often making those skill choices very if not impossible to change. Forcing you to make choices than effectively punishing you should you later find those choices were not the best for you.

Im torn between abandoning the crafting and just focusing on gathering the mats...or admitting to myself taking ages to max out your chosen profession is just a ruse to keep you playing Wow longer, taking offence at that and taking up something else. Real world hobbies ...outside maybe ...with real people. Or put my account on hold and just play through winter... picking up all the rewards and incentives for returning to wow

Crafting...has anyone written a simple guide that anyone can follow to max out a profession ?

Comment by KeyboardWizard

Question: Is there some way or add-on to inform me if I have earned the knowledge for "crafting recipes for the first time". As I look at my crafting list(s) I see several that I may not have crafted at least once and would like to know prior to re-crafting unusable (for my character) items on my list. - Thanks

Comment by Hakkal

Tama's Dragonflight helper Weak Aura (https://wago.io/TamasDragonflightHelper) is absolutely awesome at tracking any/all weekly "to-do's".... renown levels, profession weeklies, siege/soup timers, etc. HIGHLY recommend! It lists out all of the prof. specific one-time pickups that add knowledge as well... I found out about ~20 item-pickup-based knowledge points I was missing out on just by using it. Can't recommend it enough!

Comment by Koremu

Regarding the "random" crafting item drops; they aren't really random.

Each profession has one item of +1 knowledge that drops from the world pickups (Expedition Scout's Backpack and Disturbed Earth being the most common pickups), and three that drop from specific groups of mobs.

These can be tracked by a weakaura; the "Weekly Profession Knowledge Tracker" by Zulandia works well: https://wago.io/w4D9R3Ykr

These drops are available once per week from each of the sources, for +4 knowledge per profession per week.

Comment by Nesthion

It would be nice to know if you've hit a cap for the week somehow for herbalism and mining. It seems that once I got an epic quality knowledge drop (+3 knowledge) from both mining and herbalism, the knowledge drops stop until reset on Tuesday.

Comment by alpanhell

I don't see any mention that you can get 2 crafting knowledge points a week in Disturbed Dirt or Expedition Scout's Pack (and I'm assuming Magic Chest too). I've only seen 2 every week for each craft profession (not gathering) so I'm assuming it's a hard limit.

Comment by Carnagias

What Do You All Think Of A Random NPC Public Work Order System That Everyone Can Do An X Number Of Times With 100% Chance For Skill Ups/KP? It’d Be Like The BMAH, But For Professions.

The NPC would take the cut of gold of course and you’d need to provide mats and perhaps the NPC would also give you some high quality items for crafting in a small quantity and even better they could give you a reroll or go back token on your KP? This would benefit everyone because the better stuff everyone can make the better the player base will communicate and the health of the game will be awesome. Whenever I craft stuff for people no matter if it’s free, for 500g, or 50k gold I always have a real conversation and invite them to my community. So I have made tons of new friends thanks to the crafting system, but I think my idea with the NPC would be amazing and something that players want. Us players can’t have reroll token items to craft because that would cause all kinds of issues, but the NPC idea is where it’s at. What do y’all think?

Comment by Gandalftheghey

Okay, Blizzard, again, is super bad at explaining things.

"Applies To Both Crafting and Gathering Professions
Knowledge Learned: +5/+10 Knowledge at Specific Renown Levels"

"Each profession can learn +5 Knowledge at Renown 14 and +10 Knowledge at Renown 23/24 with 2 different factions"

Incorrect.
Gathering Professions will earn +5 at renown 14 and +10 at renown 23/24
Crafting Professions will earn +5 at renown 14, and +5 are renown 23/24

I Pushed two characters to Iskaara level 25.
The skinner (gathering) received +5, then the +10.
The Jewelcrafter (crafting) received +5, +5.
Opened a ticket and was told thats how it is intended.

Comment by LiriusMagi

Should update this a bit, the weekly-drop ones for crafted professions are not "random". i.e. the decaying phlegm comes from decay-based mobs like the gnoll camps in Azure Span. Elemental shard comes from elemental mobs like lakefrost worms and what not. There is a WA, https://wago.io/w4D9R3Ykr/14, which will track your weekly collection of the points and a general idea of what to kill to get them. Includes the random 6xdrop for gathering too but not the weekly +3 ones like dreambloom.

Could this be updated for current patch please, there are clearly some new profession stuff in emerald dream like overgrown herbs which will get you knowledge points at least on first time but is there anything like that for crafters and what about skinning does it have that?

Comment by grumpytroll

What happens to the knowledge points after all skills are maxed out?

Will they transfer to the next expac?
Will they be exchanged for gold when DF ends?
Will they just go away?
Will they just sit there and collect dust?
etc, etc.

Comment by Badgerpaw

Every single Dragonflight guide now links to this instead of a Dragonflight counterpart, meaning I have no way to actually see how to increase Dragonflight knowledge.
