Sup yall!
So if I drop engineering, take another profession, drop that one then re-learn engineering, will I still get all the schematics I've learned over the years? Even the "rarest" ones that drops from several sources other than the trainer ?
I was about to drop it last night but it got me thinking...what if I only get the ones I've learned from the trainer and not the whole package? I would be a very sad pandaface!
nope.
So whats the purpose of spending like what 1000g on that relearn thing ? Just to avoid level it again I assume (which is no small task but still...)?
WoW has a design restriction where once you have done a normal quest there is no way to re-do them. Which means when they came up with the idea for Legion professions where all the patterns were learned through a quest chain, they also had to come up with a way for people to get those patterns back if they ever dropped and re-learned the prof.
So the 1000g book lets you relearn just the patterns you learned by doing quests in Legion. Not trivial, but also certainly not the "get it all back" you were hoping for.

also, even the book won't get you skill point, and without skill points you can't use a lot of the stuff anyway; you'd have to relevel skill in each expansion you care about.
Damn! I mean, I understand the grand picture but I thought it would be possible for them to take a snapshot of what you currently have for your profession in terms of patterns/schematics/recepies/etc before you drop it. Then, just pay X amount of gold to roll-back to that snapshot. They are able to save/restore all my items from my bank/character/void storage in real-time so why not professions?
Now I don't remember which one I got from quests and which one I got from rare drops. In the end it's not worth it in my case.
That's less time I'll spend in game leveling another profession I guess and that's what Blizzard is trying really hard to avoid from their players.

only the gathering profession is re learnable.10/22/2018 01:25 PMPosted by BignuggetzSup yall!

I assumed he was talking about the book from Legion; you're right, there's no engineering book in BFA because BFA engineering doesn't use quests to get ranks like the gathering profs do.
Because Blizzard is gay.

That would not be "dropping engineering". That would be "keeping engineering on hold, while learning another profession." It would be an easy way for everyone to have 3, 4 or 5 professions: just 2 at any moment. If the rules were like that, everyone would have several professions.
That is not the game design. If you drop it, you really drop it.

Yes, they COULD do that if that was the plan. But it isn't. The plan is you must choose 2 professions, not choose 5 and switch between them.
I really think it's about time that they expand the number of professions we can have active. I have had, over the years, blacksmithing, mining, alchemy, jewelcrafting, etc. and dropped them here and there based on what was more useful to my character at the time. If we have put in the work to level those professions, we should be able to do something in order to keep them in 2018 Wow culture. I wouldn't even care if it was behind a pay wall at this point.
