Well, get ready for a trip, because there is no one way of just farming Knowledge for your professions. They are quite a bunch of ways you will be able to do that. From one-time farming opportunities to limitless Knowledge point sources. The thing is, there are points out in the wild for you to grab. You better seize this opportunity to make yourself quite knowledgeable. Here is how to farm profession Knowledge in World of Warcraft Dragonflight.

Non-Repeatable Knowledge Points

  • First Time Recipes: in every crafting profession, you will be awarded 1 Knowledge, 5 Artisan’s Mettle, and Experience for every time you craft a recipe. This means that if you craft all the recipes once, you will receive the same rewards for all of them. No, you don’t need to use the resulting items or products.
  • First Time Gathers: specially for Herbalists and Miners, being able to pick up the base Herbs and base Mining Deposits will grant you +4 and +2 Knowledge respectively.
  • Hidden Profession Masters: all throughout the Dragon Isles, there are Profession Masters that will teach you the best out of their craft. The best part is, you don’t need to do anything besides talking to them! Be ready to collect those Knowledge points.
  • Static Knowledge Points Treasures: scattered around the world, you will find Profession-specific treasures that you will be able to collect, as long as you have that profession. They will store items that will grant you +3 Knowledge points.
  • Reputation Rewards with Renown: if you belong to any faction, you will know that you can gain Renown. Now, Renown will also grant you Knowledge as well. Renown 14 grants +5 Knowledge and Renown 24 grants +10 Knowledge.
  • Artisan Consortium Profession Notes: locate Rabul in Valdrakken. He will be able to sell you some research notes to accumulate +15 Knowledge to the skill of your choice. Each research note will increase in price, however, and you will need a lot of Artisan’s Mettle to do this.

Repeatable Knowledge Points

  • Dragon Shards of Knowledge: after completing the quest line, you will receive Khadin’s Wisdom, giving you the ability to gather Dragon Shards of Knowledge and exchange them for 1+ Knowledge. There is no limit to the amount of shards you can turn in, and you can even choose the profession that will be affected.
  • Profession Trainer Weekly Quests: this repeatable quests will grant you an unlimited source of Knowledge points, and you are basically encouraged to do so. Mastering a skill has never been this simple. You will be able to do this two times a week.
  • Draconic Treatises from Inscription: if you have the Inscriptionist profession, you will be able to create Draconic Treatises, that will be able to gran you +1 Knowledge in any profession, once a week and will require you a great amount of resources to do so.
