Look, I get that I should have watched my 100th DF Launch video instead of just the 99th. But I was sort of relying on tooltips to fudge my way through crafting. And boy was that a bad plan. The enchanting tree literally doesn’t even tell you which tree is for weapon enchants. Tells you rings and chest though, so on day one I just went with something that looked familiar.
Worst part is, I only grabbed enchanting so I could DE my unused loot. GUESS WHAT. There’s a tree for that, and I didn’t notice until 90 points deep. Yes, I wasn’t paying attention. But I just sort of assumed I could just sort it all out later after I figured out the upgrade mechanics that are relevant to me for M+ and Raid.
Even Path of Exile lets you off the hook - Like, what is Bliz trying to prove here.

I only watched 99 launch videos as well. damn that 100th. Anyway, I have 40 points I would love to reassign.

Stopping people from specing into helms crafting it. Respec to chest. Than legs. Than shoulders.

It is frustrating but it is meeting blizzards apparent goal of preventing the amount of goldmaking that happened in shadowlands.
The bad news is you can brick your profession like this. The good news is prices will come way down over the next few months. So it will overall be good for consumer and not as good for goldmakers.
In the short term there will be a lot of people in your situation.
A one-time respec wouldn’t kill anyone. There were too many fundamental changes going into this xpac for them to NOT have done any due diligence on their tool tips. That’s really not the player’s fault. The fact that none of the new terminology is explained in-game, and “weapon” isn’t even a word used in the enchanting tree… I mean, come on.
Pure design laziness. They’re expecting all players to use wowhead instead of explaining their crafting trees in-game.

I learn all the potion recipes from advanced potions than Respec to multicraft. Only way this works is if you lose all non drop recipes by respecing.
Apparently not. The first knowledge tooltip tells you you can’t reset.

So it’s someone else’s fault you didn’t read anything?
The problem isn’t that OP and many many other’s didn’t read enough out of game guides from alpha/beta/ptr testers.
The issue is that there is very little in game explanation and that the system in place not only doesn’t allow for exploration or individual taste, but actively punishes you for doing so.
Also, if you were to start playing now, or decide to change professions now, you will be, and always will be, weeks of progression behind on your tradeskills, and there is really no way to circumvent that.

Op will slowly go mad watching the knowledge points slowly trickle in each week. The realization that in order to unlock the spec he wants he must first invest another 40 into the spec he’s trying to move away from. Spending point after point in something he doesn’t want.
That feeling of missing out on all the easy gold from overcharging players for your R5 crafts. Watching other players brag over trade about the millions they earned from selling primal illusions. That one guy claiming he’s earned over 50 million so far just from doing recrafts. Meanwhile, OP struggles to continue finding points that don’t exist. Flying around each zone looting chest in hopes he’ll find some magical +5 he missed. Growing more impatient with each passing day that Blizzard fails to respond.

well you could be like me and have two enchanters and by accident spec them both the same way.
must be that neck - although that actually sounds like someone operating on multiple servers as well.
No, never. You should have read, there are consequences when you don’t read.
You’re a sorry human being, I can’t believe anyone made a mistake in this new system.
Once you have your uncapped several hundred points of knowledge, you’ll get them all anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Naw, I’m just kidding. I THINK there should be some ability, but I don’t know how it should work. The idea of speccing into, say, faceting, going full points into the air gem, picking up all the recipes – then respeccing and expecting to keep the recipes – maybe that needs some rules in place to prevent abuse.
But something should give; is there anything (except Class) in Blizzard you can’t fix with some sort of cost or time gated respec?
You suck. There are trees that don’t work and are bugged or were nerfed. Or markets that died.
Do these people just wait for 10.1?
how else would it work? you don’t have those points in the specialization that unlocked them, so of course you don’t know those recipes anymore. it’s just like class spec talents, i can’t put points into a ST build, then respec into an AoE build and keep all my ST abilities.
That would make sense if you ignore the fact that people respeccing will drive the market down due to there being an abundance of items. So they still will not millions because they missed the timing on it. But a respec would be nice, I don’t sell things but it would be nice to make it easier to level.
It’s the primal branch of the enchantment specialization. It tells you it increases your skill at enchanting using rousing and awakened elements. That includes your weapon enchants.
I mean specifically alchemy because there is a tree that gives you a lower cooldown on researching recipes that is usually a tradeoff. Faster recipes but less knowledge overall.
Incorrect. There’s literally a pop up when you spend your first knowledge point that you cannot reset it once spent.
Does it suck? Sure. Did Blizzard warn you? Absolutely. Did you read it? Apparently not if you’re saying there’s no warning.
Is there a finite amount of knowledge you can get?
