Profession Catchup Mechanic in The War Within - Wowhead Economy Weekly Wrap-Up 346
Hello! Welcome to the 346th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we discuss an important hidden feature of the expansion, a catchup currency that defines ways in which you can gain Knowledge Points if you start late in your chosen profession. We also discuss the partner to Knowledge, Artisan's Acuity and how this catchup can be utilized with profession shuffling. Plus, we talk prices of reagents and the balance of the economy!
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
Profession Catchup Mechanic
Something that was sorely missing in Dragonflight was a robust catchup mechanic for those starting late and wanting Knowledge Points to remain competitive in professions. Now it has been datamined that there is such a mechanic hidden in the game introduced in TWW and allows for players to get up to speed on professions.
Manthieus has a great video explaining all ..
Basically, there is a hidden currency for each profession that can be exposed via a script in game ..
Thanks to cataraqui, now this problem is solved. I have slightly modified his macro to make this compitable with the 255 maximum character limit for macros.
The basic form of the macro is as following. By replacing the number for GetCurrencyInfo command, it will print how many catch-up points remaining for that specific profession. As cataraqui noticed, it may take several seconds for the server to register the profession info on one character, so wait a few seconds after log on to check the catch-up points remaining for both of the profession on one character.
/run local c=C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(3057) print(c.maxQuantity-c.quantity,«for»,(c.name:match(«ly.(.*).Kn»)))
/run local c=C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(3058) print(c.maxQuantity-c.quantity,«for»,(c.name:match(«ly.(.*).Kn»)))
