So I got both my professions at 100 and all I got for it were the achievements (my two main are Enchanting and Inscription)
I don’t think it really helped anything, and I feel like I wasted my time.
You can now learn any recipe and craft things for yourself or others. If none of that is appealing to you, then other than getting a cheesement, you did in fact waste your time.

I think I already got all the learnable ones from the mentors…
Well dang, now I see why Blizzard made a jester outfit, we’re a bunch of clowns XD

Well can you make enchants and sell them in the AH? Lotsa people like those enchants. Otherwise I pretty much agree with you on professions. Gratz on getting both of your up to 100%. I haven’t achieved that one yet. Not sure what you can do with Inscription, that one isn’t too valuable to me. I like Alchemy, Skinning, Herbalism, & Mining. I have other alts on various professions, but this Dragonflight Mix-up has me totally confused on how to use all the things they threw into the game for professions. Makes me want to work on them even less than I already did.

Your ability to craft 3* items is … uh… obviously predicated on your skill.
You gain skill TWO ways:
1> MOST of your skill is going to be in Knowledge Points. A highly time-gated bunch of nonsense that takes FOREVER to raise your skill in a variety of things per profession.
2> A smaller portion of that skill is … your basic “level-to-100” points.
So while #2 is the smaller portion, and nobs on these forums tend to discount it because of that, it STILL COUNTS towards your overall skill-score and your ability to craft things at max-level.
Getting to 100 … DOES MATTER. I mean… duh, obviously.
It’s just that gaining Knowledge Points matters more.
Little point to ‘maxing’ I would think, at this point at least. 75 is that threshold or whatever to unlock the other specializations. The core of it though are knowledge points which a lot more people are behind on to even remotely be appealing to any potential buyer.
Gives you higher skill in crafting, making better chance to make 5 star.
Early in any xpac or even patch, is where the professions shine. Very few people will max them out as quickly as others. Meaning if you’re one of the few who can produce or provide a high-end service. You make a lot of gold in the AH.
As the days turn into weeks and weeks into months the demand vs the supply deeply shifts. You end up with many people able to provide the same services, the prices take a huge drop. At which point it comes down to, what you can provide to your alts or guild mates at cost or free.
Each xpac I level 40 alts to max level and every single profession to max learning everything. Very early on I am 100% self-sufficient and don’t spend any money on raid supply or items for my alts. I also sell a lot of items on the AH. I save gold and I earn gold at the same time.
This xpac is all about the highest quality of item you farm or produce, I expect as the xpac goes along we will learn even higher things to gather or make that will need every bit a very high leveled profession to get that highest quality from. Your reward is gold.
I gave up on professions. Just absolutely despised it this time around.

Early on it was vital due to limited knowledge points so having 100 made it possible to inspire craft 418 pieces
Now it’s less vital if you have the knowledge points, but eh it’s not hard for most proffs anyway
Honestly I only got into Enchanting to make my own enchants and Inscription for my own Vantus Runes and Contracts XD
