New version of Artisan's Mettle for professions in The War Within

Comment by woofpuppy

In Beta, Vendor Mimzy sells it.

Comment by CUx2

How do you acquire more of this once you've completed the initial quest? :o

Comment by Drixor

How do you acquire if you are miner/herbo?

Comment by Goodley23

Talking to Roldira in the Crafters Enclave In Dornogal at /way 55.32, 55.76 they will give you a small quest, which gives you 350 Artisans Acuity and other crafting items depending on what you choose.

Comment by mdvdt

This is strange, I got artisan's acuity after a first craft

Comment by Baumeef

Currently, the only way to obtain Artisan's Acuity apart from the free 350 you get from the quest is to first craft NON-trainer recipes. That means the crafts have to come from recipes, discoveries and crafts you can unlock in the Specializations tab, which makes it very costly. You get 5 Artisan's Acuity for each first time non-trainer craft.

Comment by cybertuna

Now that full release is out, can anyone confirm where you get more of this stuff?

Comment by susfishcious

For the gathering professions, when you gather from a node you have a chance to loot a Deepgrove Petal or a Slab of Slate which will grant you a knowledge point and 5 Artisan Acuity.

Comment by Flaxywhaxy

As of first reset, you can acquire more through patron orders in your crafting order table. So far it seems to be limited to 12 patron orders per week (not all give you acuity though). Also not sure how to get more as gatherer besides new knowledge.

Comment by Tequima

This is required to craft the Rare (blue) profession tools (300 Accuity), and to buy Notes for Knowledge Points and certain Patterns/Recipes etc (see "Currency For" tab) from various vendors or Renown Quarter Masters in The War Within zones. Some purchases are reputation-gated.

As of go-live, the sources of Accuity are, for non-gathering professions:

A one-off quest starting in the East of Dornegal, in the room behind the Craft Order submission table /way 55 56 Crafters' Enclave
First Craft of each recipe (except for the trainer ones)
Daily-changing Patron Orders from your Crafting table, many of which you will not initially be able to do as you've yet to unlock the recipe (Renown, random drop - looks at Engineering, or skill/knowledge points)

The only repeatable source for gatherers is a chance to get 5 when gathering, when you get an item that gives you Knowledge Points such as Deepgrove Petal from herbing, Slab of Slate from mining, or Toughened Tempest Pelt from skinning. The weekly quests, available at skill 25 from the Trainer in Dornogal, only grant 3 Knowledge Points. If you are behind on progress there is a catch-up mechanism, once you have done this weekly quest, where you can continue gathering treasures until caught up.

What is a better way to spent it EARLY when you're NOT a goblin with a ton of gold: books with knowledge or crafting rare profession equipment?

Comment by pixielynn

Where is the vendor to redeem this at?

Comment by BeerWolf

So limited yet crafts asking for 300... I won't be getting the 'rare' fishing rod anytime soon :(

Comment by joshim1185

Check your crafting order table. This XPac now sends "Patron" orders for us to fill, the rewards from which contain Artisan's Acuity, among other things.

Comment by aaglo

Please Blizzard, make a vendor that trades like 10 artisans mettle for 1 artiisans aquity.... my toons have over 70.000 artisan's mettle unused.

Comment by Aliandrin

Other than patron orders and the one-time quest, if you are skinning/leatherworking, there is no way to get more.

Currently.

Mining and herbalism can earn more, but you will only get 60 per week. It's something though.

Comment by azzeria

#1) get the Weekly Knowledge addon from Curse Forge. This will at least tell you where you stand on a weekly basis of what you can get (crafting/treasures, etc.) and what books you do/do not have.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weeklyknowledge,

#2) Either hope that you know EXACTLY what you want to do in your profession and plan accordingly. The books themselves are not cheap, 200/300/400 acuity from Dornogal rep, and the recipes for some of the desired profession gear also cost acuity.

I have been playing since pre-launch and still don't have my LW maxed out. It's a drag, but hopefully they add some kind of earning mechanism that is more profitable than NPC crafting orders. Maybe a crafting quest that will give you 100 acuity or something like weekly. Or at least make it Warbound...some of us have alts that gather, and nothing to do with acuity except put in orders for profession gear, after that it's just going to sit in our characters bags mocking us.

Comment by Qoko

This is more limited than Artisan's Mettle, but also used a lot less considering there's no Illustrious Insight equivalent in TWW (replaced with the Patron orders' commendations). There's already quite some posts up how to get this (essentially Patron orders after you depleted the bag and all non-trainer First Crafts), but not what it's used on specifically.

Per profession:

900 for a set of rare equipment (300 each).
350 for 10KP (400 to buy, 50 is refunded).
250 for 10KP (300 to buy, 50 is refunded).
150 for 10KP (200 to buy, 50 is refunded).
150 for the profession bag.
0 for 10KP from Renown (50 to buy and immediately refunded).

To max out the one-time stuff from one profession you need at least 1800 Acuity, for both per character it's 3600. This does not account for any of the 63 patterns available for Acuity at 150/pc, though what you need of these is specific (and not all professions have them). It also doesn't account for Cooking and Fishing equipment (four, 1200 total). When Acuity starts to overflow, we can buy bags with reagents for 600/bag.

Comment by CommanderAmaro

I wish this was warbound so I dont always feel so broke on this currency. I dont see why such an important currency for a lots of things is being rationed out like this and so little. Like does Blizz hate crafters this much?

Comment by Strokelock

So since my Gatherers seem better suited for getting these, is it possible to list say, 3 Patron Orders, and then buy them on one of your alts? I would doubt it, but I thought I'd ask anyway :)

Comment by Soeroah

Kinda ironic. Some of us ended Dragonflight with tens of thousands of Artisan's Mettle because they never added a dump vendor for the stuff, and now we're in an expansion with a dump vendor from the get-go it's also much more difficult to obtain.

Comment by linda535

Seems like tailoring is a losing profession in this expac. Poorly planned and executed, Blizz. Worse than requiring players to do dungeons to level a profession.

Comment by eatyerface

I haven't seen it opined on much yet, but does this feel incredibly limited (in an unbalanced way) compared to the Dragonflight equivalent? For example, as a Blacksmith, If I want to craft my own Artisan Hammer and Toolbox, I'm looking at spending 600 of this. In addition, the recipes from the Artisan's Consortium Quartermaster, Lyrendal, also cost 150ish each. Yet, I'm also getting Patron orders that are locked behind crafts that require 150 of these. Aside from the one-time quest that awards a few hundred of these, you're looking at 5-30 of these at a time from various sources (first-time expensive crafts, or potentially-expensive patron orders). Which feels like far too small of an amount to build toward profession equipment, among other things.
