WoW Inscription Guide

Inscription – The Inscribed Wisdom

Inscription is the latest profession in the World of Warcraft introduced with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. This profession is very useful especially now when players got a chance to put 3 major and 3 minor glyphs on themselves which will improve their gaming performance greatly.

With Inscription you can create various major and minor glyphs suitable for different classes, scrolls, vellum, Darkmoon cards and off-hand tomes. With Inscription you will also get a gathering skill called milling. With the use of this skill you will be able to create the needed mats from herbs.

Where to train?

Inscription trainers could be found in every capital city and allow a player to train his skill up to 300. For 375 skill a player needs to visit a trainer in Hellfire Peninsula while for 450 skill he needs to seek a trainer in Northrend.

What are vellums used for?

Vellums are types of paper that Scribes can make and they are used by Enchanters to store their enchants. Like this an Enchanter is able to trade or sell any of his enchant without the need to meet his client directly. This also allows an Enchanter to enchant gear of his alt chars.

How about glyphs?

Like said before, the glyph system is something new in WoW. Each player can place glyphs of he chooses which are suitable for his class. He can place a total of 6 glyphs – 3 minor and 3 major glyphs. If he has a dual spec he can also make different choice of glyphs for that other spec and save it.

Off-hand tomes

A Scribe can also produce various BoE (Bind on Equip) off-hand tomes. This is not so profitable as other services a Scribe can provide but it can be useful.

What is Minor Inscription Research?

This is an ability every Scribe has at his disposal. By doing a research a Scribe can discover new glyphs. In order to perform a research he will need:

• Tools: Virtuoso Inking Set 
• Reagents: Moonglow Ink and 2x Light Parchment 

With the mentioned mats a Scribe will be able to make random scrolls and while doing that you have a chance to discover new glyphs (minor).

Inscription and Herbalism

When it comes to levelling Inscription, Herbalism is definitely a good choice for a second profession. You will need a lot of herbs to make mats needed for your Inscription skill.

Is Inscription profitable?

Inscription could be a very profitable profession if you get really into it. Just by making the glyphs you can earn quite a bit. Some glyphs are cheap to buy and yet some are more expensive. However, you will be able to discover more glyphs as you go and you will be able to craft them.

By teaming up with an Enchanter you would be able to profit greatly just by selling enchants placed on vellums. Maybe you are an Enchanter already. Use your Inscription profession to sell your enchants faster and easier. No need to spam “Enchanter LFW” on the Trade Channel.

You can also earn quite a bit by making the Darkmoon cards or even whole decks. These cards once combined form a specific deck which will start a quest. A quest ends when a Darkmoon fair time comes and you a player can hand in his deck and receive a really good epic trinket. 

WoW Inscription Guide 1 - 450.

The Inscriptionist’s main resource are herb. Herbs that you mil to pigments an then create glyphs.

You mil 5 herbs to 2 - 3 pigments. Each herb tier gives different pigments: You need only one herb from a tier. Eg. you could level just with Peacebloom without using the other Tier 1 herbs at all.)

Alabaster Pigment:

• Bloodthistle / Peacebloom / Silverleaf / Earthroot / Mageroyal

Dusky Pigment:

• Briarthorn / Swiftthistle / Bruiseweed / Stranglekelp

Golden Pigment:

• Wild Steelbloom / Grave Moss / Kingsblood / Liferoot

Emerald Pigment:

• Fadeleaf / Goldthorn / Khadgar's Whiskers / Wintersbite

Violet Pigment:

• Firebloom / Purple Lotus / Arthas' Tears / Sungrass / Blindweed / Ghost Mushroom / Gromsblood

Silvery Pigment:

• Golden Sansam / Dreamfoil / Mountain Silversage / Plaguebloom / Icecap

Nether Pigment:

• Obtained from milling all Outland herbs.

Azure Pigment:

• Obtained from milling all Northrend Herbs.

To level Inscription to 450 you’ll need the following ammount of herbs:
(This list if for the worst case scenario where you would get every time 2 pigments from milling. You should need less materials.)

110 Alabaster-giving herbs (eg. Peace bloom)
80 Dusky-giving herbs (eg. Brianthorn)
200 Golden-giving herbs (eg. Kingsblood)
160 Emerald-giving herbs (eg. Goldthorn)
160 Violet-giving herbs (eg. Blindweed)
250 Silvery-giving herbs (eg. Dreamfoil)
260 Nether-giving (eg. Mana Thistle)
450 Azure-giving (eg. Goldclover)
