Patch 11.1 Professions: Knowledge Point Resets and New Recipes
How the Patch 11.1 profession Knowledge Point reset works, where to respec, and which recipes Undermine actually added (and which it didn't).

Key Takeaways
- Patch 11.1 "Undermine(d)" launched February 25, 2025 and finally shipped the profession specialization reset that had been proposed, then deferred, back in Patch 11.0.7.
- Reset your Khaz Algar professions at Darla Fluxy in Dornogal, and your Dragon Isles professions at Siben in Valdrakken's Artisan's Market.
- Each reset is one-time use per profession group, one for Dragon Isles and one for Khaz Algar, so plan the respec before you commit.
- Resetting refunds every spent Knowledge Point but unlearns all recipes and specialization benefits tied to that profession; you relearn them as you reinvest.
- The Multicraft nerf and Resourcefulness buff floated on the 11.0.7 PTR were reverted and did not ship in 11.1; neither stat changed.
- The patch's real new recipes were modest: a Charged Armor Kit for Leatherworking, Authentic Undermine Clam Chowder for Cooking, a 22H Slicks upgrade for Engineering, and two Inscription items.
- Enchanted Crests moved off Enchanters to vendors, and D.R.I.V.E. is Undermine's driving system for the G-99 Breakneck, not a profession recipe.
With the headline changes listed, here is what Patch 11.1 actually did for crafters, starting with the reset everyone had been waiting on.
What Patch 11.1 Changed for Professions
Patch 11.1, "Undermine(d)," went live on February 25, 2025 and centered on the goblin city of Undermine. For crafters, the headline was not a pile of new recipes but a single long-requested quality-of-life feature: the ability to reset a profession's specialization and reclaim spent Knowledge Points. Blizzard had floated this for Patch 11.0.7, pulled it for more work, and shipped it here. The recipe additions that came alongside it were real but modest, which is worth knowing before you go hunting for a crafting overhaul that this patch never promised.
How to Reset Your Profession Specialization
The reset is handled by two NPCs, one for each expansion's profession trees. You visit the vendor that matches the professions you want to respec, and the reset applies to that whole group.
| Reset NPC | Location | Resets |
|---|---|---|
| Darla Fluxy | Dornogal, outside the Crafter's Enclave | Khaz Algar (War Within) professions |
| Siben | Valdrakken, the Artisan's Market | Dragon Isles professions |
Each vendor offers one reset for its profession group, so you get one respec for your Dragon Isles trees and a separate one for your Khaz Algar trees. Because both are one-time uses, it pays to map out your target specialization before you talk to either NPC.
What the Reset Actually Does
The reset is a full wipe and refund, not a surgical reassignment. When you use it, every Knowledge Point you had spent in that profession comes back, but you also unlearn all of the recipes and specialization benefits tied to those spent points. You then relearn them as you pour the refunded points into a new specialization path. That makes it powerful for correcting an early mistake or chasing a new crafting niche, but it is not a free cherry-pick, and with only one use per group there is no room to experiment casually. Decide where you want to end up, then spend.
The Stat Changes That Never Shipped
One point of confusion is worth clearing up, because the pre-patch notes drove a lot of speculation. A Multicraft reduction and a Resourcefulness increase were tested on the Patch 11.0.7 PTR, meant to bring those two crafting stats closer in line with the others. Blizzard reverted both before they went live and kept them under discussion, and Patch 11.1 shipped with no change to Multicraft or Resourcefulness at all. If you read that a stat rebalance landed with the reset feature, it did not; the stats stayed exactly as they were.
The Recipes Patch 11.1 Actually Added
The new patterns in 11.1 were a short, practical list rather than a sweeping expansion of the crafting menu:
- Leatherworking: the Charged Armor Kit, a new armor kit for gear.
- Cooking: Authentic Undermine Clam Chowder, a themed feast-style dish.
- Engineering: a 22H Slicks upgrade for tinkerers.
- Inscription: the Vantus Rune: Liberation of Undermine and Contract: The Cartels of Undermine.
Two things people often list here are not recipes at all. Enchanted Crests were removed from Enchanters in 11.1 and became a vendor purchase from the Enchanting Supplies sellers in Dornogal, and the G-99 Breakneck comes from the story-earned D.R.I.V.E. driving system rather than any Engineering pattern. If you are rebuilding a profession after a reset and want to skip the grind, you can compare our WoW profession boosts to power through the leveling.
FAQ
How do I reset my profession Knowledge Points in Patch 11.1?
Visit Darla Fluxy in Dornogal to reset your Khaz Algar professions, or Siben in Valdrakken's Artisan's Market to reset your Dragon Isles professions. Each NPC handles the whole profession group for its expansion.
How many times can I reset my profession specialization?
Once per group. You get a single reset for your Dragon Isles professions and a single reset for your Khaz Algar professions, and both are one-time uses, so plan carefully before committing.
Do I lose my recipes when I reset?
Yes, temporarily. The reset refunds all spent Knowledge Points but unlearns every recipe and specialization benefit tied to those points. You relearn them as you reinvest the refunded points into your new path.
Did Multicraft and Resourcefulness change in Patch 11.1?
No. A Multicraft nerf and Resourcefulness buff were tested on the 11.0.7 PTR, then reverted. Patch 11.1 shipped with no change to either stat.
What new profession recipes did Patch 11.1 add?
The Charged Armor Kit for Leatherworking, Authentic Undermine Clam Chowder for Cooking, a 22H Slicks upgrade for Engineering, and Inscription's Vantus Rune: Liberation of Undermine and Contract: The Cartels of Undermine.
Is D.R.I.V.E. an Engineering profession item?
No. D.R.I.V.E. is Undermine's driving system that grants the G-99 Breakneck goblin vehicle through the patch's story. It is a travel feature, not something crafted through a profession.
