Am I correct in thinking that overflow profession knowledge points only exist as a means to keep acquiring artisan’s mettle?

Unless they start adding more trees on to the professions, looks like it.
And I find it unlikely that they’ll do that this expansion, now that they’ve added a dump for knowledge points.

I can’t find anything on Google about a profession knowledge dump.
I meant buying artisan’s mettle on the vendor. Is that not what you were talking about?
I meant just getting the mettle that comes with the knowledge, but I like the idea of spending extra points on more mettle.
I loathe maxing out my KP. I have 7600+ mettle sitting in my reagent bank. I’d like an option to sell it.
It looks like the conversion rate is abysmal.
Seems ok to get rid of the excess points and stop the annoying popup on your profession bar every login but also need mettle to be account bound so i can help other profs while a gatherer has 75k mettle doing nothing
Oh also just saw that it is 10 points for mettle so the gatherer who went over by 3 now has to go amass 7 more to clear this crap off the toon and stop getting hounded every login about unspent points. unbelievable. just allow a straight up delete too.

Yikes I thought I had a lot. You have 75 bank/bag slots of mettle? Call Guinness, that might be a record!
I really hope not. I want this grind to be over once and for all. > 6 months of this non-sense is soul crushing.
They also really need to fix the work order system. No material public orders are just complete troll orders. 99.9% of the orders are basically just bait orders for crafters who either don’t know how the system works or are not paying attention.
Bare minimum, we need an in-game filter that lets me just omit orders without all materials provided (preferably that saves on logout). There are 0 scenarios where I want to fulfill a no material public order. Even for the KP, I’m better off just crafting it for myself and either vendoring/disenchanting it, than giving it away.
What professions are you? There are quite a few things you can just use mettle on to guarantee R3 and sell (alloys, enchants, hides, etc.). Every profession has a few. It may not be the best ROI, but you can go through that pool of mettle pretty quickly.
I mean, they’ll definitely add more in 11.0 unless they bail on this profession overhaul and go back to the old system (or re-invent it again).
Dual gatherers don’t have any use for mettle that I am aware of outside of occasionally submitting personal crafting orders for gear. Other than that it just piles up nonstop plus I was hitting the weekly quest for months until I realized it wasnt worth anything.
So now have bank bags, local bags etc with it was hoping for something to do with it but since I cant send it to alts or other crafting profs might just be deleting all this.
If anything, they would start over, would be my guess.
Either wipe away all progress, or minimally the excess KP and then add nodes.
I can’t imagine I can go into 11.0 with a maxed profession tree and leave any new/returning players in the dust with their fresh 8+ month grind for KP just to get to where I am now.

Oh, yeah that’s what I’m expecting. Just a whole new set of trees, and probably wipe all the stat bonuses from the DF ones.
We’re supposed to be getting an expansion to professions in 10.2.
That was originally “supposed to be” 10.1 then 10.1.5 … I wouldn’t hold yer breath

I turned most of mine into insights so it doesn’t take up so much bag space.
