R5 Runed Khaz'gorite Rod w/Missive - Is it even possible?

I’ve confirmed that Blacksmith for example have enough skill points to chase for various prof tools like the Pickaxe to guarantee R5 with a missive.

As an enchanter, I’m 100% specced into Rods, Runes, and Ruses 40/40, as well as 45/45 for Rods and Wands. With all 3 blue crafting tools/accessories, the max skill I’m finding I can get is 351 meaning I can craft the rod as R5 base, but missing 14 skill points if adding a missive.

I’ve tested a couple of the other trees like in the main “Enchantment” tree, and every single place I tested a point into only works for crafting actual enchants. I’m also convinced I’m the only enchanter who took this tragic route of speccing into rods as I can’t find anyone else who has and has other insights as to where I can chase an additional skill point, if even possible.

To devs - based on how the trees are currently set for skill points, is it impossible at the moment to R5 the Runed Khaz’gorite Rod with missive, even if have max tools/accessories + the trees capped? It’s looking like it, but trying to find anyone else who can say otherwise as the discord channels I’ve reached out to have concluded that it’s impossible without an inspiration proc or illustrious insight. Meanwhile, other profs like Blacksmith can R5 + missive many prof tools without illustrious insight.

Yes it is possible. My Blood Elf enchanter can guarantee a rank 5 Khaz’gorite Rod with the missive, but it means using one of those Insight orbs that give you 30 skill points. All of this still requires the best ingredients and being 95+ in enchanting.

As for leveling enchanting if you go down this specialization, I’ll just say it’s an expensive endeavour that has me frequently browsing the Crafting orders hoping to get lucky.

I appreciate the response but I asking without the orb, as other profs, such as Blacksmith, have the opportunity to max R5 without one for the Pickaxe as an example. I’m trying to find out if there are hidden nodes for skill that I and other enchanters simply cannot find, or if there was something missed when these trees were created as it means that Enchanting is not equal with the other crafting profs when it comes to recipes. If another prof (like Blacksmith) can guarantee an R5 with missive without illustrious insight, then the balancing is off between the profs is what I was suggesting and that it may need to be reviewed. It may also be a symptom of the 3 trees that Enchanters have vs profs like Blacksmith that have 4, and they were able to bake in more opportunities for skill points.

It should NOT be this difficult. Period.

The average player would not even begin to understand how to do this.

I’m annoyed.

Yeah I just ran into this with JC. I spent 100k getting prof equipment maxed out and it is impossible to guarantee a rank 3 illimited diamond cut without using a 50 mettle insight. Upgrading the equipment changed the inspiration proc from something like 33% to 34%. Not worth it at all.

They want you spamming trade chat and then sitting down with a dude to recraft your gear 5 times.

Even the work order quests we get every week cost 20g just to put one in. You have to do this on an alt since most professions don’t get crafting orders at all.
