This guide will show you where to find all the one-time profession knowledge points in The War Within, covering everything from vendors to treasures, so you don't miss any valuable opportunities.
I also have a separate guide for weekly Knowledge Points, so be sure to check that out as well:

Profession Treasures
Throughout the Khaz Algar continent, you can discover profession treasures that grant +3 Profession Knowledge each. There are 8 treasures available for every profession, with 2 located in each zone. This totals 24 Knowledge Points.
These treasures are the quickest and simplest way to gain knowledge points, so it's recommended to start here. For a detailed list of all available treasures for each profession, please check out my separate guide:

Artisan's Acuity Vendor
Lyrendal in Dornogal sells three profession Books for each profession. The books grant 10 Knowledge Points for crafting and 15 for Gathering professions.
Books | Cost | Vendor |
Book 1 | 200x ![]() |
Lyrendal in Dornogal. /way Dornogal 59.82 56.42 |
Book 2 | 300x ![]() |

Book 3 | 400x ![]() |
*Note that you will get 50x Artisan's Acuity or 75x Artisan's Acuity back from gaining Knowledge Points from the books, so the actual Artisan's Acuity cost is lower.
Renown Vendors
Once you reach high enough renown, you can buy professions books from these three Renown Quartermasters. Each book grants 10 Knowledge Points.
Faction | Renown | Profession | Vendor |
Council of Dornogal | 12 | Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Tailoring | Auditor Balwurz |
The Assembly of the Deeps | 12 | Mining, Engineering, Inscription | Waxmonger Squick |
Hallowfall Arathi | 14 | Jewelcrafting, Herbalism, Skinning, Leatherworking | Auralia Steelstrike |
The books cost 50x Artisan's Acuity, but you will get 50x Artisan's Acuity from gaining 10 Knowledge Points from the books, so they basically cost nothing.
First Craft Bonus
This might seem obvious, but it's something many people overlook after leveling their profession. You can earn one Knowledge Point for crafting an item for the first time. While my leveling guides focus on obtaining some of these, they typically don't cover all of them.
To quickly check which First Craft Bonuses are still available, open your profession window, click on "Filters", and then select "First Craft Bonus".
You can also earn the First Craft Bonus by completing Crafting Orders. If you're not in immediate need of Knowledge Points, it might be wise to hold off on crafting the more expensive recipes and wait to see if a Patron Crafting Order appears for them.
