No, you cannot reset profession knowledge points once they have been spent. This is a crucial aspect of how profession specializations work, making choices permanent.
Understanding Profession Knowledge Points
Profession knowledge points are a vital resource for specializing your character's crafting or gathering professions. These points allow you to unlock specific recipes, improve crafting efficiency, or enhance gathering yields within your chosen profession.
Here's what you need to know about managing profession knowledge:
- Permanence of Choices: Once you allocate knowledge points to a particular specialization or ability within your profession, those points are permanently spent. They cannot be refunded, reset, or reallocated to another area.
- No Customer Support Assistance: Customer Support does not have the ability to assist with moving, changing, or adding knowledge points for players. This means there's no official way to reverse a decision you've made regarding point allocation.
- Earning More Points: While you cannot reset spent points, you can always earn additional knowledge points over time. This allows you to eventually unlock other desired specializations or fill out your current trees, even if your initial choices weren't perfectly optimized. The ability to earn more points helps mitigate the permanence of early decisions.
Practical Implications
The inability to reset profession knowledge means that:
- Strategic Planning is Key: It's important to plan your profession knowledge spending carefully, especially when you are starting out or focusing on a specific goal (e.g., crafting a particular item, excelling at a certain aspect of gathering).
- Long-Term Progression: Professions are designed for long-term progression. Even if you make an early "mistake" or find a different specialization more appealing later, you can continue to earn points and eventually expand into those areas. Your initial choices won't completely block future development.
In essence, while you cannot undo your knowledge point investments, the system allows for continued growth and diversification of your profession capabilities through the ongoing acquisition of new points.
