Inscription is the latest profession added into World of Warcraft, via Patch 3.0.2. It allows players to create glyphs so that everyone can add them into their character's slots, effectively increasing some of their abilities or modifying them in certain ways. There are two types of glyphs an inscriber can make, minor and major.
Minor glyphs allow for simple palette-swaps of certain effects, such as different polymorph, or reducing mana cost of certain world of warcraft gold spells, and so on. Major glyphs, on the other hand, allow for great changes to one's abilities, from changing direct spells into HoTs or DoTs, to adding completely new effects to several existing skills.
Inscribers will be able to convert herbs they find into pigments, which will in turn be made into ink, ready to make glyphs and scrolls. Not only will an inscriber be able to give players Glyphs to use on themselves, but they will also be able to create special parchments to sell to enchanters so that they may enchant them, and put them up on the Auction House as if it were a stand-alone item!
As if that weren't enough, you can also create the ever-elusive scrolls and Darkmoon cards that are so sought-out lategame, as well as novelty items such as scrolls that allow people to rename their pets, if they're a Hunter!
Inscription is a primary profession, meaning it will count toward your two primary profession limit.

To begin, seek out an <Inscription Trainer>,world of warcraft gold; who can teach you Apprentice Inscription. These trainers are located in every major city,world of warcraft gold, like Stormwind and the Undercity. If you need help finding an Inscription trainer, simply speak with any guard in a main city who will flag your map with the location of an Inscription trainer.
There are several ranks to the Inscription profession. You must get to a certain skill level along with your character level before you can advance to the next rank. Opening new ranks allows you to increase your skill more. To advance to a new rank, simply revisit an Inscription Trainer in any major city or an Inscription Trainer in Outland for the Master Rank. Below is a table of the ranks and when you can advance:
In Wrath of the Lich King, you are able to train up to Grand Master, and you will be able to do so typically at the first settlement you arrive at in Northrend, as well as in Dalaran if you're able to be there later on.
Choosing a Second Profession
Inscription only goes along well with one other primary profession: Herbalism. Herbalism allows you to gather herbs which can then be milled to make pigments. You are not required to take Herbalism along with Inscriptions, however, buying the herbs from the auction house to level up and mill new pigments is still an acceptable substitute if you have the money for it.
If you have the money to blow, buying world of warcraft gold herbs in stacks is also a viable option and not nearly as painful as say, leveling Enchanting, Tailoring or Blacksmithing.
Who Inscription is Best For
Inscription is a GREAT new alternative for those new players or people who want to have the latest and greatest edge over others. Not only will you be able to create items every single class in the game will want, you will get, as a perk, an extra Glyph for your character once you reach Northrend! Currently, it is optimal in the hands of Caster-types, though, since you will be given the ability to make Off-hands and Melee classes can't wield them.
Upon reaching Northrend, you will need to activate your Inscriber-only Glyph, which should be in your spellbook. Some will require materials, some will not. It will give you unique abilities not found on any other Glyphs! Cool, huh?
As a Bonus, high-level inscribers also get the ability to inscribe their shoulderpads with Inscriber-only enchants. These are the usual attack power, dodge rating, spell power types and will only be available to Inscribers.
Finally, Inscribers are able to make several Off-hands to use for themselves and others - while Melee classes won't really need them, Spellcasters sure can benefit from them!
Inscription - Scribing to help others
Inscription is really use to use and works like many other professions - once you've gone to a Trainer and learned the skill, open your spellbook. You will see the Inscription Skill along with the available Glyphs and Items you may currently create.
To create new Glyphs, you will need to find the materials necessary. As mentioned before, you will need Ink and Parchment in order to start making your glyphs and cards. First, buy the Virtuoso Inking Set from the Vendor. Next up,cheap wow gold, ink! How do we get ink? simple, by getting Pigments!
Low-level pigments may be obtained by milling Herbs. Herbs found in the lower-level areas will all yield 2-5 pigments once milled, however, you will need atleast 5 herbs in order to use your Milling ability. What differentiates Inscription from others such as Jewelcrafting is simple - unlike Prospecting that may throw out random gems, Milling will always give you the required Pigment for the level, no matter which herb you mill if it's in the level range. Sometimes, you may also get secondary pigments, that are used in more uncommon inks.
Once you have your pigments in-hand, you will need to transform them into Ink. This will take either 1 or 2 of your pigments per piece of ink, so make sure to check the requirements carefully.
Finally, buy some parchments (check your requirements) and start creating Glyphs and Scrolls!
Make sure to check back later for a fuller description on how to level inscription thoroughly, including which types of herbs give which types of pigments, and what you will need to get your inscription to the max level!
That’s basically how Inscription works.
Research
There are 2 known types of Research regarding Inscriptions, and may be used once every 20 hours once they're trained:
- Minor Glyph Research: Requires 2 Light Parchments and Moonglow Ink. You will always discover a new Minor Glyph, unless you wow gold know all 61 Minor Glyphs that can be discovered, and you will gain low-level items such as Vellum (for enchanters) and scrolls when you do so
- Northrend Inscription Research: Requires 3 Inks of the Sea, 5 Resilient Parchments, and Snowfall Ink. You will probably learn a Major Inscription or an Inscriber-only Major Inscription, and gain high-level scrolls and vellum every time you use it.
