WoW Inscription - What's Inscription anyway?

Inscription is a new profession in Wrath of the Lich King. Inscribers create Glyphs which are enhancements to an individual's spells or abilities, Inscribes will also be able to make Vellum for enchanters to put their enchants on, this will enable enchanting scrolls to be traded, and sold on the AH. They can also make Scrolls and off-hands.

Glyphs have two type: Minor and Major. Major glyphs will be effective in combat, so they can change the outcome of a battle (adding damage over time or stun to a physical attack, for example) while minor glyphs will give convenient or cosmetic improvements, removing the need for some spell reagents.

Individuals have a number of glyph slots, based on their level:

• Level 1-14: None.
• Level 15-29: 1 Major, 1 Minor.
• Level 30-49: 2 Major, 1 Minor.
• Level 50-69: 2 Major, 2 Minor.
• Level 70-79: 2 Major, 3 Minor.
• Level 80: 3 Major, 3 Minor.

Inscription use herbs as main materials. When you learn Inscription, you will get a skill called Milling, which you can use to produce pigments from herbs similar like prospecting for Jewelcrafters. You will need Pigments to make Inks, Inks are needed to create Glyphs.

Every inscription recipe needs some kind of Ink, so if you want to level your Inscription, it's the best combined with Herbalism. Take a look at my Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism.

I tried to make this simple, so you can have a basic knowledge about Inscription. My Inscription leveling guide is finished now, all I can say it's the easiest profession to level so far.
