Profession knowledge catch-up in 11.2

Community General Discussion
1

I came back to the game for 11.2. I want to make some gold and was wondering if it’s advisable or even possible to get enough knowledge to earn gold from jewelcrafting.

In DF I was an alchemist. From what I remember of the profession system back then is that it was impossible for alchemists to make gold on the order system. Everything alchemists made that anyone wanted could be sold on the AH and it cost more in mats than what I could sell the pots for on the ah, unless I got a high multi proc, at least early on. JC seems to be the same way.

It also took me about 6 months to get my profession knowledge to a point where I could make gold selling items on the AH and over a year to max out the knowledge. So is it even possible to level the knowledge to a point where I could make gold selling items before the 11.2 hype dies out?

Any advice would be appreciated

Unless you dump a ridiculous amount of gold to turbo boost yourself and be one of the first people putting out the highest quality gems and doing WOs, no, it will not be profitable.

I started JC late in 11.1 and I didn’t find it difficult to get what I wanted from the trees to make necks and rings for people. I don’t remember what I did though.

I focus mainly on selling reagents. I still make lots gold across all professions.

Isn’t the amount of knowledge you can earn in a week capped and isn’t some of it locked behind faction reputation grinds?

You have enough points from the opening one time treasures and first crafts to max out one thing in one day. Very easy to get one item maxed (e.g. ring or neck).

To level just get a blasphemite recipe from the AH and spam to 100. Design: elusive blasphemite is only 1 g on my servers AH (YMMV recipes are still server based). You will have to get to JC 30 skill with trainer recipes first though.

Then you need 70 KP to get jewelrycrafting + rings (or necks w/e).

  • you have 24 points of one time treasures
  • You have 4 points from weekly treasures (JCs treasures are like alchy they get 2 pts per treasure)
  • You have 4 points in patron orders (glimmers) every four days
  • You have 3 points (flickers) of catch up daily
  • You have 10 points for 200 AA, 300 AA, 400 AA, and 565 kej (40 total)
  • You have hallowfall arathi renown 14 giving 10
  • You have cartels of undermine renown 16 giving 10
  • You have k’aresh trust renown 12 giving 10
  • There’s 3 points from Darkmoon faire, monthly
  • There’s a crafting order quest that gives 2
  • There’s 1 point weekly from treatises
  • There’s 63 points of first crafts

And yeah you need 70. There’s way more than 70 available. If you don’t have rep it’s not a problem.
