So… after the initial surge of knowledge, the knowledge is harder to come by, so the mettle gains are very limited… as an alchemist I use 5 mettle per experiment… and there is no way to farm it really…
Not to mention some profession equipment requires a ridiculous amount of mettle. This is a design problem… Am I supposed to hoard 3 weeks of mettle to make 1 profession equipment item? That’s ridiculous… There should be some way, with repeatable quests to gain more mettle? Otherwise people who overspent without being aware of how hard it will be to come by, are cucked hard… While I generally like the new profession system general idea, some implementations are not so great…

You can make around 300 a week and a bit more with dragon shards of knowledge
that’s interesting but… idk I got only 2 shards so far and I herb a lot and pick up a lot of treasures so idk.
they can drop from m+ chests, raid bosses and disturbed dirt and chests. pretty rare tho.
How many experiments are u doing ? Or how many u need ?
I have 3 crafted items and i sit at like 2,5k mettles . Thats like … 500 experiments , should be enough right?
the question is not how many I need but how many I want. see, experiments are the cheapest way to make flasks etc.
And there are a whole lot of knowledge points to use that work on experimentation so it’s supposed to be something long-term… it’s not a very well thought out system
I mean , yes i know you need them. But thats maybe the point blizz wanted to make?
So maybe thats why they “soft caped” it by requiring mantles.
But out of curiosity , how many experiments per week are u doing??
I don’t count. But whenever I log, I go to the lab and experiment until explosion lol. Then again when CD is up etc etc xD ofc I’m not logging just to make experiments, I have some remnants of life and sanity but basically “on CD” when I play. well, sometimes you can make 5-10 experiments in a row, sometimes u get explosion on the second try vOv
Yea well in that case i think it was an oversight maybe .
They either reaaaly wanted to cap those experiments somehow ( could just slap a big cd there that isnt reduced) or they missed it .
Same here…
I have two full stacks clogging up my backpack 
I only get 80 from the weekly quest. I have not seen any public work orders placed and I don’t do raids and mythic plus. As a blacksmith, I need between 225 - 400 per profession tools and accessories to craft them at least once. This will take long.
I also get 125 rep per week for the Artisan’s Consortium. I’ll reach 4 / 5 with them in 9 weeks.
I dunno why you need so much. It is also arguable that such flasks are the cheapest. Do you make all flasks? Why not specialise in some? I am at 100. Collect knowledge from treasure chests and random world drops, objects. Pretty deep into phials. Now the experiments don’t yield many discoveries so investing in those is a waste of mats for me. I use mettle to upgrade skill only for specific phials and pots.
