Vanilla Inscription Leveling Guide 1-300

This Inscription leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Inscription skill up from 1 to 300 as inexpensively as possible.

Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Inscription.

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.

Approximate Materials Required

Milling is an ability you get when you learn Inscription. Milling can be used to mill 5 herbs for 2 - 4 pigments, then you use the pigments to turn into inks.

The first row in the table below is the total amount of herb needed, it doesn't have to be all from the same herb.

Inscription trainer

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth and learn Inscription. You can learn Inscription from these trainers:

Horde:

• Nerog in Orgrimmar.
• Zantasia in Silvermoon City.
• Margaux Parchley in Undercity .
• Poshken Hardbinder in Thunder Bluff.

Alliance:

• Feyden Darkin in Darnassus.
• Elise Brightletter in Ironforge.
• Catarina Stanford in Stormwind City.

1 - 100

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.

Buy an Virtuoso Inking Set from the Inscription Supply vendor near your trainer.

Light Parchment is not listed in the guide at the recipes. You can usually buy it from the vendor near your trainer or at any general goods vendor.

• 1 - 45
  44 x Moonglow Ink - 88 Alabaster Pigment

  You will use most these later, so keep them.

  Also, milling gives skill points up to 25, so if you are milling your own herbs then you can stop when you reach 45 and only make more if you need them.

• 45 - 75
  30 x Scroll of Recall - 30 x Moonglow Ink

  You can make Enchanting Vellum if you have no use for the recall scroll.

• 75 - 80
  36 x Midnight Ink - 72 Dusky Pigment

  You will use all of these later, but stop making them at 80, and only make more after 85.

• 80 - 100
  25 x Vanishing Powder - 25 x Midnight Ink

  Turn all your Verdant Pigment into Hunter's Ink at 85 if you milled your own herbs. Then make as many Mysterious Tarot as you can.

100 - 150

• 100 - 105
  63 x Lion's Ink - 126 Golden Pigment

  Save these, you will use them. But stop making them at 105, and make more later on.

• 105 - 109
  4 x Research: Moonglow Ink - 12 Moonglow Ink

• 109 - 112
  3 x Research: Midnight Ink - 12 Midnight Ink

• 112 - 116
  4 x Research: Lion's Ink - 12 Lion's Ink

• 116 - 125

  At this point, you can craft any of the discovered Glyphs. I recommend the Glyphs that require 3 x Lion's Ink. The reason for this is because milling Golden Pigment giving herbs will also give you some Burnt Pigment that you can turn into easy skill points at 125.

  Make 9 from any Glyph you discovered by Research: Lion's Ink - 27 x Lion's Ink

• 125 - 142

  Turn all your Burnt Pigment into Dawnstar Ink. Then make as many Strange Tarot as you can.

  Make any Glyph if you didn't mill your herbs and don't have Burnt Pigment.

• 142 - 150

  Make 8 from any Glyph you discovered by Research: Lion's Ink - 24 x Lion's Ink

150 - 200

• 150-155
  40 x Jadefire Ink - 80 x Emerald Pigment

  5 x Scroll of Intellect III - 5 x Jadefire Ink

• 170-175

  5 x Research: Jadefire Ink - 15 x Jadefire Ink

• 185-200

  Turn all your Royal Ink into Arcane Tarot

  15 x Any orange Glyph - 45 Inks

  This can be a mix of Inks, just use the herbs you have or the cheapest ones.

• 275-290
  Turn all your Sapphire Pigment into Ink of the Sky.

  Make 4 x Research: Shimmering Ink - 12 x Shimmering Ink

  Make 11 x Any orange Glyph - 33 Inks

  This can be a mix of Inks, just use the herbs you have or the cheapest ones. You obviously need to do fewer of these if you had a lot of Sapphire Pigment.

• 290-300
  10 x Scroll of Stamina VI - 10 x Shimmering Ink

I hope you liked this Inscription leveling guide, congratulations on reaching 300!
