This Legion Inscription leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Legion Inscription skill up from 1 to 100 as inexpensively as possible.
Inscription is the best combined with Herbalism because you can save a lot of gold by farming the needed herbs, so check out my Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism.
If you are still leveling your character, I recommend trying Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide to help you get to max level faster. And if you are low on gold, you can also try his Gold Making Guide.
Legion Inscription Trainer
You can find the Legion Inscription Trainer Professor Pallin at Dalaran (Broken Isle). If you are having trouble finding him, you can just walk up to a guard in the city, and ask the guard where the Inscription trainer is.
He won't teach you Legion Inscription until you sign his contract. So, pick up the quest 
Sign This from him, then sign the contract by right-clicking on the 
Unsigned Contract in your inventory. The quest reward is 
Legion Scribe.

You can get 
Sallow Pigment, and

Macro for faster Milling
Type /m into your chat then hit enter to create a macro. Then just copy-paste these strings in your macro and bind it to a useful/easy button of your keyboard. Simple but useful macro in order to quickly mill your herbs.
/cast Milling
/use Aethril
/use Dreamleaf
/use Foxflower
/use Starlight Rose
/use Fjarnskaggl
/use Astral Glory
/use Felwort
/use Yseralline Seed
If you don't want to mill a herb (e.g. Felwort), just leave that out. This macro will start from the first herb and it will keep milling it until you don't have any left from that herb, then it will jump to the next one.
All your herbs must be in perfect stacks divisible by 5, the macro will get stuck if your herb stack is not divisible by 5.
Mass Milling Techniques
You can mill 20 herbs at once instead of 5 with Mass Milling recipes, and since this is a recipe in your profession book, you don't have to click milling each time, you can queue up all your herbs for milling and just go AFK until you finish milling them.
To unlock Mass Milling for legion herbs, pick up the quest Mass Milling Techniques from Professor Pallin.
Complete the quest by following these steps:
- Use the book on the right.
- Use the book in the left corner.
- Use the book on the left, near the green inks.
- Use Ladder next to the wall in the back of the room. It can bug, but you can just exit the "vehicle" and try one more time.
The reward is Mass Mill Yseralline Seeds recipe.
For all other herbs, you need to mill each herb manually AFTER COMPLETING THIS QUEST. From that, there is a random chance to drop a separate quest for those (You should get it after milling 100-200 herbs). The only exception is Astral Glory, because you can buy the recipe 
Technique: Mass Mill Astral Glory from Toraan the Revered if you have a Friendly reputation with the Argussian Reach faction.
Mass Mill Aethril
Aethrem Crystal
Woody Seed Cluster
FjarnskApproximate materials required
You will need around 200 x Sallow Pigment, and 900 x Roseate Pigment.
Since you get more Sallow Pigment from Dreamleaf and Felwort (see milling table above) there is a difference in how many herbs you have to mill depending on which herb you can buy from the Auction House.
- You will need to mill around 4500 herbs if you only mill Aethril, Fjarnskaggl, Astral Glory, Foxflower, Starlight Rose.
- If you are milling Dreamleaf, then you will only need around 2000 because you get twice as many Sallow Pigment after opening up all the Nightmare Pods.
- Milling Felwort gives a lot more Shallow Pigment than normal herbs, so you will only need to mill around 100. But you won't get as many Roseate Pigment, so you will have to buy them from the Auction House.
Leveling Legion Inscription
Nightborne characters have +15 Inscription skill because of their passive 
Ancient History. An extra 15 Inscription skill means recipes stay orange for 15 more points. You can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for 15 more points.
1 - 25
Simply manually milling around 400 Legion herbs should get you to 25.
DO NOT USE MASS MILL YET, IT WON'T GIVE YOU SKILL POINTS! Only use mass mill after you reached 25.
If you are buying the pigments from the auction house, then you have to buy an extra 20-25 Sallow Pigment, and start making the next recipe.
25 - 40
Look for a scroll behind your trainer on the counter in the back of The Scribes Sacellum in Dalaran and loot 
Technique: Tome of the Tranquil Mind from it. (it's near the small blue rug with a chair on it).
- 20 x
Tome of the Tranquil Mind - 20 x Sallow Pigment
This recipe will be yellow between 25-40, so you might have to make more. If you don't have enough 
Light Parchment, you can buy it from the Pandaren vendor behind the trainer.
40 - 100
You have to get one of the Nighthold Rank 3 Vantus rune recipe, there is no other good alternative. Higher rank recipes allow you to craft an item for fewer materials, and they stay orange for a lot longer (grants guaranteed skill-ups).
- 60 x [Any of the listed Rank 3 Vantus Runes below] - 180 x Sallow Pigment, 900 x Roseate Pigment
You could also try to make Glyphs up to 70, but Glyph recipes are green between 45-70, so you would have to make a lot, but at least you can sell some of those.
Rank 1 and 2 Vantus Runes
You basically have to kill a boss twice. Kill one at "Raid Finder" difficulty, learn the rank 1 recipe, then kill the same boss again on Normal. (or wait a week for another Raid Finder kill, but most classes at level 50 can solo the bosses on Normal difficulty)
You can queue to Legion Raid Finder instances from Archmage Timear at Dalaran (Broken Isles). Queue for Arcing Aqueducts if you want to kill the first boss Skorpyron.
Then right-click on your portrait, and set the Raid Difficulty to normal, and enter Nighthold. Here is a video on where the Nighthold entrance is located. Don't forget to learn the Rank 1 recipe before you kill the boss again in Normal!
Rank 3 Vantus Runes
Vantus Rune Technique: Star Augur Etraeus - Sold by Marin Bladewing - Requires The Wardens Revered- Vantus Rune Technique: Spellblade Aluriel - Sold by Marin Bladewing - Requires The Wardens Revered
- Vantus Rune Technique: Trilliax - Sold by Veridis Fallon - Requires Court of Farondis Revered.

I hope you liked this Legion Inscription leveling guide, congratulations on reaching 100!
