Hello there,
So, as the title mentions, I don’t understand why we don’t have any catch up possible with professions.
It’s the one thing people HATED from early Shadowlands about covenants, and Blizzard did it again, at an even worst scale. Because even in the early patches of SL, you could switch Covenant, it was a pain, but doable, to catch up renown etc.
Right now, if like me, you picked a profession week 1 and farmed every point and did every quest each week, you’ll have quite a nice filled specializations trees.
I went with Alchemy and Herbalism, which at first seemed great, but now I don’t have enough playtime to do the content (weekly Raids and M+ for the vault) and farm herbs.
So I considered taking another profession, like jewelcrafting, which I had before herbalism, but when I see the amount of points I would need for just one type of craft, it’s demoralizing, I would need so much points, and many weeks in order to achieve that, and I would never be able to catch up with anyone who started even a week before me…
So I was wondering, why wasn’t there a catch-up system available in 10.0.0, but even more, why didn’t it get added later in 10.0.5 or 10.0.7 which are usually the patches used by Blizzard to implement QoL changes.
I mean, I could see a system around crafts from either Inscription or even a cool one like it would be jewelcrafters with 100/100 and max rep to the consortium that could craft “Advanced draconic master classes” that would give you something like 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 for a cost of any linked reagent to the profession in question + as many mettle as points you would get, with the 5 spec points being rank 1 craft, and 100 rank 5, and wouldn’t be linked to inspiration or multicraft.
Just a random suggestion on the matter.
But as a profession enjoyer, I usually level up professions on my alts, but this expansion is just the worst one ever for alt’s professions.
In order to get important things for any given profession, you would both need to have started your alt’s professions week 1 AND have farmed reputations renown, which if you aren’t unemployed isn’t really doable.
Pretty please, Blizzard, add something for players to catch up on profession specialization points.
Have a good day, fellow crafters and gatherers.
