Dragonflight Profession Knowledge Farm

What is Knowledge Points in Dragonflight?

Crafting Professions are Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Inscription, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, and Tailoring. Gathering professions include Refreshing Herbalism, Mining, and Skinning. There are no Knowledge Points for Cooking, Fishing, or Archaeology.

• You need Level 25 in your profession to apply Knowledge Points. You can still pick up +Knowledge items from that profession before level 25, but you will not be able to click on them to use them until then.
• Knowledge Points are profession specific. You can get a Knowledge Point item that gives you Mining Knowledge Points, but this does not mean you can apply this to Blacksmithing instead. You can buy items that increase Knowledge, but you must pick one specific to a particular profession. The Dragon Shard of Knowledge turn-in quests detailed below allow you to choose which profession to apply it to when you do the turn-in, but you must pick one. You can't divide the points between both your professions.
• You can begin collecting Knowledge Points right away using some methods. There are some mechanisms for getting Knowledge that you can get from the start. Others require unlocking through quests or by unlocking Adventure Mode.
• Crafting and Gathering professions have some differences from collecting Knowledge Points. There are even some differences within Gathering professions concerning Knowledge Points. They share several mechanisms, but not all of them. Gathering professions have some quests, but the primary source of Knowledge Points is gathering materials, not crafting items like Crafting professions.

Along with Knowledge Points, you will also earn varying amounts of Artisan's Mettle. This is an important currency required in some quests and used to buy profession-related items, such as the various research notes from Rabul in Valdrakken for significant boosts to your profession knowledge, or to order +1 Knowledge Draconic Treatises from Inscription through Crafting Orders.

How to Get Knowledge Points in DF?

Each method lists what type of profession it applies to, how many Knowledge Points it gives, and whether it's repeatable. You can complete daily quests, weekly crafting order quests, kill rare NPCs, use weekly Inscription treatises, or get some points from gathering professions. You will get +1 Knowledge, x1 Artisan's Mettle, and some experience the first time you craft something. That makes a lot of sense in crafting every recipe at least once, whether you want the end item or not.

First-Time Gathers

There are four main Herbs and two main Mining Nodes. You get +4 Knowledge points for gathering every base herb and +2 Knowledge points for each base mine. Nevertheless, both Herbs and Mines have six different Modifiers, which have specific drop and effects upon harvesting or mining. You get +1 point for every modifier. Long story short, Herbalists get +24 Knowledge, and +12 knowledge is available for Miners. Note that this method is related only to Herbalists and Miners but not Skinners.

Rare Items from Gathering Professions

Every Gathering Profession will occasionally give extra items that will increase your Knowledge by 1 or 3 points. Building in a Perception will increase your chance of getting those items. Items that give you 1 point are the most common. These include Infused Pollen for Herbalists, Unyielding Stone Chunk for Miners, or Saturated Bone for Skinners. These items have no limits, and your luck only limits them.

But items that provide players with +3 points are limited and you can loot them only one per week. These items are: Dreambloom for Herbalists, Iridescent Ore for Miners, and Large Sample of Curious Hide for Skinners.

Treasures

You may find some open-world treasures hidden across all the Dragon Isles and containing Profession-specific Knowledge. Those items give +3 Knowledge to your current crafting profession. Players without the profession can still find the item but cannot interact with it. Most gathering professions have approx. 7-8 treasures.

Dragon Shard of Knowledge

The Dragon Shard of Knowledge is a quest reward item. You can find it in the open world hidden treasures such as Expedition Scout's Pack. You need to turn these shards to a master artisan in Ohn’ahran Plains named Khadin, as these items don’t give Knowledge by themselves.

The ability to turn in Dragon Shards must be opened via a questline. You won’t be able to collect them until you get Khadin's Wisdom after the final quest. This usually starts in the Ruby Life Pools. Nevertheless, it can also be started in Ohn’ahran Plains and Valdrakken. It can be started in three different zones because Thomas Bright can be found in all three locations. The starting quest is called Khadin. Once you complete the quest line, you can turn in all of your A Gift for Miguel. Note that you will have a choice of where to apply it. This is a repeatable quest so that you can turn this item in as often as possible. There are no daily or weekly limits.

Profession Trainer Quests

Profession Trainer Quests award players with 3 points of Knowledge. The primary and most significant source of Profession Knowledge will be repeatable quests from a profession trainer. Prepare to make it a part of your everyday routine until you build both of your Professions. Once you have opened World Quests, you get Profession Trainer Quests and Adventure Mode available. To do this, you must hit level 68 and complete the campaign. Once you complete these conditions, Moving On quest opens. And all of these will be opened for your alts too.

Draconic Treatises from Inscription

Scribes can craft items called Draconic Treatises. You must order these items by placing a Work Order via the Crafting Order Stations in Valdrakken. You can use them only once weekly to get 1 point of Knowledge in any specific crafting or gathering profession.

Dusty Notes from Rabul

You can find Rabul in Valdrakken standing next to the mailbox, /way 35.6 59.0. He sells various research notes for every available in-game profession. He will only show you the treatises for your professions. You will get 15 points of Knowledge Points for your skill of choice, after you spend Artisan's Mettle. The starting price is x100 Artisan's Mettle. The only problem is that these items become increasingly expensive as you buy them.

Reputation Rewards with Renown

Gaining Renown with factions can earn Crafter's Knowledge. Each profession can learn +5 Knowledge at Renown 14 and +10 Knowledge at Renown 23/24 with two different factions (Dragonscale Expedition requires Renown 23; Maruuk Centaur, Iskaara Tuskarr, and Valdrakken Accord require Renown 24). Which two factions you need will depend entirely on the professions. Some faction and profession combinations will grant you Knowledge Points, while others don't. Let us take a closer look.

As you can see, plenty of available ways to gain Profession Knowledge Points in Dragonflight exist. Some require a lot of time investing. Still, some can become your everyday routine providing you with a stable income from this currency. The way you farm is up to you, but combining all the available options is optimal.

You can always buy Profession Knowledge Farm and forget all about the tedious farm. Our PRO players will gladly farm as many Dragonflight Profession Knowledge Points as you need, easy and stress-free!
