The "Profession Knowledge Point Catch-up" system in World of Warcraft's The War Within expansion provides players with opportunities to catch up on missed profession knowledge points. This new mechanic was introduced to address some of the limitations in the previous Dragonflight crafting system.

Key Points of the Catch-Up System

  • Varied Implementation Across Professions: Different professions have unique methods for catching up on knowledge points. For example, gathering professions require interactions with specific game-world items, while crafting professions often depend on completing specific in-game tasks or crafting orders.
  • Hidden System Mechanics: The catch-up system isn't directly visible in the game interface. Players need to use external tools like macros or WeakAuras to track their progress and check how many knowledge points are left to gain. This can make it challenging for players to understand their current standing.
  • Differences Between Gathering and Crafting Professions: Gathering professions, such as herbalism, use special items or quests to catch up, while crafting professions use the Patron Order system. The latter is more time-dependent and requires consistent participation in crafting orders.
  • Gaining Artisan's Mettle: Every catch-up knowledge point earned also grants five Artisan’s Mettle, making this system advantageous for players looking to maximize crafting resources as well.
  • Challenges and Criticisms: The system’s hidden nature and the randomness in crafting orders have been common complaints. This randomness can make it difficult for newer players to close the gap with those who have been active since the start of the expansion.
