Introduction

Inscription is different from any profession to date while utilizes a lot of traits for other professions. The biggest difference between Inscription vs. any other profession is at skill level 50+, you can start making "end game" items and glyphs (end game in the sense that level 70-80 players will want to use the items you've created). Glyphs are unique in that typically no Glyph is "better" then another Glyph - each have their benefits depending on the situation. So whether your making a skill level 75 Glyph or a skill level 375 Glyph both could equally desirable.

How it Works: The Three Part Process

Inscription is a three part process: Herbs -> Pigment -> Ink -> Glyphs. To create pigments you will have to use the new "Milling" ability to turn stacks of 5 herbs into 2-3 pigments. The type of herb directly affects the type of pigments it creates (see table below). From there you can use pigments to create inks - some inks require a combination of pigments and lower level inks to create. Finally Glyphs generally require a mix of certain inks, parchments (new purchasable item), and herbs to create.

The Types of Inks and How to Obtain Them

● Ivory = 1 Alabaster Pigment. (Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Earthroot)
● Moonglow = 2 Alabaster Pigment. (Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Earthroot)
● Midnight = 2 Dusky Pigment. (Mageroyal, Briarthorn, Swiftthistle, Bruiseweed, Stranglekelp)
● Hunter's = 1 Verdant Pigment. Uncommon (Mageroyal, Briarthorn, Swiftthistle, Bruiseweed, Stranglekelp)
● Lion's = 2 Goldenn Pigment. (Wild Steelbloom, Grave Moss, Kingsblood, Liferoot)
● Dawnstar = 1 Burnt Pigment. Uncommon (Wild Steelbloom, Grave Moss, Kingsblood, Liferoot)
● Jadefire = 2 Emerald Pigment. (Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Khadgar's Whisker, Wintersbite)
● Royal = 1 Indigo Pigment. Uncommon (Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Khadgar's Whisker, Wintersbite)
● Celestial = 2 Violet Pigment. (Firebloom, Purple Lotus, Arthas' Tears, Sungrass, Blindweed, Ghost Mushroom, Gromsblood)
● Fiery = 1 Ruby Pigment. Uncommon (Firebloom, Purple Lotus, Arthas' Tears, Sungrass, Blindweed, Ghost Mushroom, Gromsblood)
● Shimmering = 2 Silvery Pigment. (Golden Sansam, Dreamfoil, Mountain Silversage, Plaguebloom, Icecap)
● Ink of the Sky = 1 Sapphire Pigment. Uncommon (Golden Sansam, Dreamfoil, Mountain Silversage, Plaguebloom, Icecap)
● Ethereal = 2 Nether Pigment. (Found from herbs native to Outland)
● Darkflame = 1 Ebon Pigment. Uncommon (Found from herbs native to Outland)

So What Should I Start Saving to Power Level?

If you follow the list below you will need the following to level 1-375:

● Any combination of stacks of 5 of the "OR" herbs listed below will work. Ex: 60x Liferoot, 100x Kingsblood, 60x Wild Steelboom and 20x Grave Moss would be the total of 240 herbs from that block.
● 140x Peacebloom OR Silverleaf OR earthroot
● 80x Mageroyal OR Briarthorn OR Swiftthistle OR Bruiseweed OR Stranglekelp
● 240x Wild Steelbloom OR Grave Moss OR Kingsblood OR Liferoot
● 280x Fadeleaf OR Goldthorn OR Khadgar's Whisker OR Wintersbite
● 220(260 to be safe)x Firebloom OR Purple Lotus OR Arthas' Tears OR Sungrass OR Blindweed OR Ghost Mushroom OR Gromsblood
● 220(route 1) to 140(route 2) x Golden Sansam OR Dreamfoil OR Mountain Silversage OR Plaguebloom OR Icecap
● 400x Any native Outland herbs

Inscription Trainers

There is an inscription 1-300 trainer in each of the 4 major cities in Azeroth (just ask a guard for the location) - to train from 300-375 you will need to head over to Hellfire Peninsula in Outland.

Leveling Inscription

Notes on the Guide

Scroll of XXXX = Scroll of agil/int/spr/stm/str
Glyph of XXXX = The glyphs that are currently Orange(or JUST turned yellow) and require only 1 Ink when possible. (100% skill ups) They normally come in 2's or but occasionally come with just 1 glyph later on. You can do that one glyph or use some other glyph if you want. Any glyph will give 5 more 100% skill ups after it turns yellow, and the next 5 after that will be about 60% the time it will skill up. I made this guide assuming you will use orange/1 ink when possible.

1 to 20
Ivory Ink (1 Alabaster Pigment) x20

20 to ~38
Scroll of XXXX (1 Ivory Ink, 1 Common Parchment) x20

~38 to ~58

80 to 81

Glyph of XXXX (1 Ethereal Ink, 1 Resilient Parchment) x5

355 to 365
Glyph of XXXX (2 Ethereal Ink, 1 Resilient Parchment) x30

And your done! Note that there is a new ink at 350 as well as Glyphs that uses the new ink - but they all require Northrend materials so I skipped it for this guide. 360-365 is BRUTAL as everything is green at this point. At 365 EVERYTHING turns gray - it is not possible to hit 375 at the moment.

Thank you very much.

It is good to get an idea of what to expect so that I can start preparing.

does inscription offer anything BOP or specific to the profession?

I believe the inscriptionist gets an extra glyph slot for themselves.

awsome start........ looking forword to more :D

Why in the world would you not just write the guide using the Druid glyphs, which currently have the correct material requirements?

How do you know those are correct?

Any guide is speculative up to and including 3.0 release day. Jewelcrafting had changes to recipes between the very last Beta patch and 2.0.

It might not be 100% correct, but if this person is playing beta, then it at least gives us an approximation of how the system works. I didn't know that there was a Pigment -> Ink system going so that's useful for me as a (potential) inscriber.

great job

posting for reference later

updated the guide with a 1-360 guide using just the common herbs and the druid glyphs along with exact material costs - and yes this is all being done on the beta realm.

Very nice. I didn't even know what the profession was until I read your post. I think i'm going to try this prof out.

Thanks for this, I'm up to 225 currently and I was wondering on what mats would be required. Need to get off my butt and go pick more blindweed. >.>

I'm actually leveling it a bit differently on beta. Rather than making all the druid glyphs (for which it's usually a single parchment plus one ink), I've been splitting my crafting almost equally among all of the other classes (for which it requires an ink, one of each parchment, and a mageroyal). For someone who's leveling herbalism along with inscription instead of powerleveling, I think this makes more sense because inscription will tend to jump ahead of herbalism until 200 or so. At the lower levels, it's easier to just continually pump out stuff that requires milling peacebloom/silverleaf and using a single mageroyal than it is to mill the higher level herbs and turn them into inks. The side benefit to this is that you aren't competing in the AH against the powerlevelers, meaning your stuff will sell at a much larger profit margin because the supply is a lot smaller than the flood of druid glyphs. You also open up many more potential customers by spreading out among classes.

Of course, for those who just want to max out their skill ASAP and already has a ready supply of herbs, your guide definitely seems to be the way to go.

Don't want to burst your bubble but every glyph in the game other then druid glyph takes one mageroyal, a moonglow ink, and one of each parchment. Its because its a filler until the real materials are set - so far only the druid glyphs have the been implimented - don't think the designers wanted people to level to 450 using only peacebloom and mageroyal

Yes, I know they're all placeholder mats. Until the actual mats are patched in, it's impossible to say whether or not the druid glyph method is the most efficient way of skilling up.
