Hello. I am absolutely lost with professions - maybe someone could offer an advice.
How to figure out what specialization I need to boost to craft “X” item? The only way now is to randomly allocate knowledge and see if “X” craft increased in skill a bit, which is very obnoxious. Wowhead profession calculator is useless as well as it doesn’t allow to preview if crafts became higher rank after spending the knowledge.
Making a mistake is a huge punishment as you can’t respec the spent points.
Exact example would be - I would like to craft a higher rank pvp insignia of alacrity on my scribe, but I have no idea which specialization tree increases the skill. And many many other crafts. Is there some decent way to figure out what specialisation tree/node will boost a certain craft before adding the points?
You can download CraftSim. There is an option to view the specialization info, where you can see the total skill you can get and how to allocate the knowledge points to get there.
I just checked my scribe and for the insignia you have to select the pursuit of perfection specialization and the go down to improved ciphers. Both to max will grant you 165 skill.
one advice, open 1st tree ASAP and learn ‘Algari Treatise on Inscription’.You will discover all other just by crafting them and you don’t need put any knowledge to that tree.The point is that you can skill up inscr. for free up to ~95 just by crafting treaties from public orders every day,There are many orders with minimum profit for you but all material included, so it’s good for skilling inscription.
