Profession Knowledge
Mining Weekly Knowledge Drops
Weekly Mining knowledge advances specialization bonuses that affect resource gathering and special deposits.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mining Weekly Knowledge Drops
Mining nodes throughout the Midnight zones, plus fixed Mining profession treasure locations.
Before you go
- Midnight Mining.
- Access to Midnight zones for gathering and profession treasures.
- A profession journal to track available specialization points.
Farming steps
- Start a mining circuit in a Midnight zone matching your ore or mote goal.
- Mine available nodes and check whether weekly Igneous Rock Specimen drops remain available.
- Continue until you have collected up to five specimens for the week, if they drop.
- Watch for the Septarian Nodule weekly drop and collect it if available.
- Visit uncollected Mining profession treasure locations for their fixed knowledge.
- Open the Mining journal, confirm which points were consumed, and invest in a relevant specialization.
- Combine weekly drop hunting with material gathering so the route still produces ore when knowledge items do not appear.
- Profession treasures are fixed sources; record which ones you have collected to avoid revisiting them.
Repeat, collect and use
Weekly drops are limited by their weekly caps. Profession treasures grant knowledge once per character and cannot be repeatedly farmed.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a knowledge item from every node ignores weekly caps and chance; keep mining for materials after the cap.
- Treating treasures as weekly resets wastes travel; they are one-time sources per character.
- Failing to track consumed points can lead to spending into the wrong specialization; check the journal.
When to stop or switch
Stop the knowledge sweep when weekly items and unclaimed treasures are exhausted; continue mining only for materials or other eligible sources.
