No profession knowledge catch-up?

You mind sending me a link for that? I swear i’ve had more than two drop from dirt, but I could just be mistaken.

That depends! Blacksmith for example there are 2 items you collect from disturbed piles/scout packs:

1. [Valdrakken Weapon Chain]
2. [Draconium Blade Sharpener]

After these two, you don’t get any knowledge point from disturbed piles other than a really rare chance (0,0000000000001%) with a dragonshard of knowledge, which I haven’t seen one last week on my main after like 600 disturbed piles / 200 scout packs, not to mention raid / mythic+ bosses and multiple rare kills every day.

There is even a weak aura that helps you track which items you already got them (because of their id it is possible to track if you already “used” it on the week).

There are also other 2 from drops:

1. Primeval Earth Fragment
2. Molten Globule

These are the only drops you’ll ever get as blacksmith.

@Phantomstout-tichondrius

The rate is like 1 knowledge point per 4-5 hours of farming dirt piles.

Can you please show me this drop rates? Do you have stream showing them happening? Which items did you collect?

It seems factually wrong to me simply because the dragonshard of knowledge is not dropping at all for hours and hours of farm. You can spend 10 hours and not get a single one (last week, as I mentioned, more than 800 disturbed piles+ scout packs).

So the biggest discrepancy left would be the dirt pile cheese. Not sure how far reaching that one was. It got patched fairly quickly.

Not only that. This is the 6th week of the expansion, which means, if you start today, you already missed at least 85 knowledge points just from weekly rewards/drops for a crafting profession.

You may think it is not that much, but it is.

I have been farming the dirt piles all week this past week… on average I would say I got 1 shard of knowledge every 4-5 hours.

I received around 7 from dirt piles alone. I also received an additional two from mobs.
