Anyone else no longer stuffed trying to get profession equipment anymore?

After the hassle it was to get all my profession equipment the first time during DF and the fact that you still can’t specify minimum quality levels using the public order system, the pain of trying to find someone to craft them is just too much of a hassle for me to do all over again. Especially on my multiple crafter/gatherers. I’m over it. I did it once. I ain’t doing it again.

Then, to add insult to injury, there’s no auto-swap or retainment system for the different expacs??? You gotta manually swap all your equipment and keep them all in your baggies for each expac??? Lmao…wut??? How hard would it have been to just have each expacs crafting screen retain their own specific profession equipment???

This is stupid IMO. I’m dumping the profession system until something changes.

Trying to maintain 7 characters means that I have no time for professions.

Have you considered using your multiple crafters to make it?

Also, why would you ever want to use DF crafting gear? It’s got less secondaries, and skill is meaningless now.

The developers were probably laughing like Beavis and Butthead while they were at their computer stations designing the new crafting systems.

I gave up on this profession system a few days after it was implemented. It’s garbage, just like Blizzards new hiring standards.

There is an addon for this, and I honestly wouldn’t expect that you would need to craft max rank item for Dragonflight or previous expansions at this point, for what purpose? Do you have auto swap for gear you wear for previous expansions as well?

It is the best system and I love that people who were used to just download TSM scripts and craft things with their millions of gold and then flood the AH with items that made crafting a nightmare for a regular player, cannot get good with the current system.

Huh? I just buy stuff on the AH.

Can’t buy them blue ones (the only ones that matter) off the AH. They’re not BoE. Need to use the work order system.

I’ve never had blue ones. I didn’t see the point. :dracthyr_shrug:

Well I mean, they’re better than the green ones?

Do they bump your skill more than the green ones do or is it just more secondaries like finesse and perception?

professions this xpac is so much more expensive and convoluted than it was in dragonflight. i thought about making the leatherworking knife but its 10k in null stones alone. and it doesnt help that the patron work orders give 0 mats for a single knowledge point or 10 acuity. it was better in dragonflight

It didn’t seem worth it. I can still max quality without them.

This is true. I don’t know why they did it, but it’s pretty insane.

I’m actually wondering why I still have professions and haven’t gone full gatherer on all my toons

It is not designed for actual players but for automation. When you realize this truth all these pointless professions changes make 'sense".
