Inscription Leveling Guide

Inscription is the all new trade skill that came into the game in the latest expansion. Wrath of The Lich King brought a new level of character and skill customization by allowing the use of glyphs.

The glyphs that could be created by inscription served a wide range of purposes. Everything from spells not requiring reagents, to range increases on spells allowed for a unique amount of customization to spells and skills of your characters.

To level up, it requires a large amount of herbs to be ground up and turned into dyes. It also takes a lot of materials to research newer glyphs. These glyphs can only be researched once per day, and each day cost a set amount of materials.

While working on researching glyphs on a regular basis, you need to ensure to follow the guide and hold off on the research until you have completed the trek towards 450 Inscription. Without a guide you would end up wasting a lot of time and a large amount of resources getting to the 450 skill level. You need to ensure you maximize the speed with which you level, while minimizing the cost and room for error.

If you find yourself running low on cash, you can sell some of the glyphs you make on the auction house to recoup and gain additional cash to fund your skill ups.

Inscription allows a player to put specific emphasis on their talent specialization, and allows certain skills to be intensified and highlighted to fit your style and purpose in groups. It can also be used in conjunction with the new dual talent specialization option to provide for both superior group and solo skills.

Inscription while it was very popular in its debut days and picked up by thousands upon thousands of people on each and every server, has begun to fade in interest. When attempting to level it on your own, and attempt to get as high level as you can as fast as you can, you run into many road blocks.

The first being the astronomical price of the majority of herbs on the server. The costs are directly linked not only to the fact that alchemy and inscription use large amounts of herbs, but that both skills are a very important part of everyday questing, adventuring and raiding. It's not just like a few people use these services, so as supplies dry up, people take advantage. Supply and demand kicks into full force when herbs are involved as they run out quite frequently and you will find that as they run out, people will charge ridiculous prices or attempt to gouge people in the trade channels.

The auction house and trade channel can be both a blessing and a curse. The auction house not only plays direct roles in about every trade skill out there, but along with the influence the market place has on things, there is also a certain human element that can influence things. When a player sees dollar signs, they will make a dive for them.
