Question regarding Engineering Knowledge points

Gameplay Professions
1

So I have gotten pretty far with my engineering profession but now have encountered a wall. I have completed all my recipes for the knowledge points, except for the ones that require the artisan acuity.

In total, I only have 165 knowledge points spent. This is including, collecting all the treasure, and buying all the rep / acuity cost items that offer the 10+ knowledge points I also received a few points from disturbed earth dig sites, maybe 15 in total from those. I have no more knowledge items left to purchase, so all i am aware of to get more points is via patron crafting and those dig sites.

From my understanding I am supposed to the patron crafting orders to get some knowledge skill items. Ok cool, did that the 1st week, got about 5 points from that, completed all of the orders on the patron crafting orders. So since launch I have been checking everyday, and completing all the patron order.

Since week one, I have not gotten a single patron craft that rewards knowledge points. Its all Acuity or those runes, Figured with this reset I should see some with skill points as the reward. This is not been the case, Just more artisan acuity.

Has this been the case for other engineers? Or do I just have that bad of RNG, I’m also not entirely sure if the patron crafting orders are set for everyone, or is more like a personal rng system?

Also is 165 a lot? I feel I have been pretty on top of trying to make sure I don’t miss any knowledge points each week, but I lack a frame of reference, so unsure if i did well or not.

What everyone experience been with the Patron crafting system? Am I getting shafted? or am about on par with everyone else?

I no longer bother with runes. Costs of mats outweigh the listing price. I get a few patrons WOs with +2 KPs each week. Although I saw a couple +1 this week. Seriously what the heck is up with those??? Rng is not for you atm I’d say.

The +1kp orders happen when you fall behind the maximum you should be - they are catch up points. Most of us should have got some +1kp orders this week unless by some fluke we were able to fill all the patron orders.

And in reply to the opening poster.

I have 173kp spent in total - and like you have purchased all the kp books - so we are not very different.

You should get 2 1kp points from treasures every week. 1kp from the inscription treatise a week. 8 kp from ui patron orders and 1kp from the artisan quest for filling 2 orders - which is 12kp per week. It is a slow grind for the next while.
