Inscription

A big part of inscription is the glyph wars, there is a lot of competition and a lot of undercutting, so i recommend you reading my QA3 posts, These are my settings on my glyph group on QA3.





To craft i use /ktq queue 4 glyphs and i queue up all my glyphs that i don't have 4 of. I also research each day to get both the new minor and the major glyphs. I stand in dalaran next to the ink trader and reagent seller because there is a feature of KTQ that when you talk to a vendor that has any of the item you need to craft the queued glyphs you can press purchase all reagents. This will make KTQ purchase all the reagents you need so it will for example purchase all the inks you need from the ink trader. This makes it very each to craft glyphs that don't have ink of the sea as a reagent.

Here's a quick FAQ for inscription from 20keleveling.

Q: What is the best way to level up inscription?
A: There are several routes you can take when leveling up Inscription. All of them depend on your servers economy. Once you get into the glyph making stage of inscription check the prices of every glyph that you can skill up on. You will get a new set of glyphs every 5 skill-up points. Find the Best priced glyphs and make 5 of them. Rinse and repeat for the next 5 glyphs.

Many times, there will be two "orange" glyphs from the trainer. Make 2-3 of each rather than 5 of a single one.

Q:Should I mill low end herbs or convert Ink of the Sea?
A: This again depends on your server's economy. If your leveling up inscription it might be cheaper to buy Ink of the Sea and convert them at the Ink Trader in Dalaran. You wont be able to mill Northrend herbs but it is possible to find a friend who's a scribe to do the work for you for a tip or something. It's a matter of comparing costs. If a stack of Goldthorn is 30g and Ink of the Sea is 40g per stack its going to be cheaper to buy the Ink of the Sea.

Q: What addons should I use to help my glyph businees?
A: Commonly used addons are: Auctioneer, Auctionator, Quick Auctions 2, Advanced Trade Skill Window (ATSW), Skillet, Bankstack, KTQ, Market Watcher, Altoholic, And more I can't think of off the top of my head. The Addons section of these forums have a lot of information about different addons.

Q: What glyphs should I make to make the big money?!
A: Again, This is server dependent. The most common practice on these forums is to make a set amount of every glyph and remake them as you sell them. I highly recommend starting with a low number such as 1 or 2 and working your way up. I started at 2 and moved to 5 then 10 and slowly pushing to 15.

Q: Why am I not making money with Inscription?
A: Could be various reasons. Sometimes your server just doesn't have a strong glyph market. Try canceling and reposting more often, esp. during peak hours. I started out making 100-200g a day with glyphs and am now pushing over 1k a day without really trying. A lot of the big profit comes from doing your research as I sell many of these glyphs for 50-75g

Q: How much does it cost to make a glyph?
A: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1232

Q: What do I do with all this snowfall ink?
A: You can do a few different things. Most people either try to sell it to card makers to cut their cost down or they become card makers themselves. With the patch 3.2.2 we can now make Fortitude scrolls which seem to sell decently. You can also try making some of the off hand items and selling those. (I'm a card maker also so I haven't done much of the latter.)

Q: OMG there's an idiot ruining the glyph market! What do I do?
A: This depends on a few different factors and getting rid of the "goblin" can be a risky gamble if you don't have the capital to back it up. You can either drive the prices of glyphs down to the point where it's not worth his time as there is no profit in them. Or you can dry up the herb market to inflate herb prices, raising his costs and running him out of ink. Both ways might not be effective if hes getting his herbs sold directly to him for below market value as is.

Q: Do I need the Books of Glyph Mastery?
A: There are 57 glyphs that can be learned only from the Books of Glyph Mastery. These glyphs cannot be learned through your daily research (nor will the books teach glyphs that must be researched). Each glyph is learned randomly from the list of 57. Reading a 58th Book will fail, but the Book is not destroyed. (There was a 58th glyph on the PTR at one time, but it was removed before the patch went live.)


This will help you with the basic facts when your getting started.

You can also make gold from crafting the tomes and the darkmoon cards, this is nothing i do on bronzebeard horde because there are already many people in that market so there is no that much profit to make so i mostly stick with glyphs.

Okey this is my post about inscription hope you learned something form it i will post a couple of addons that will help you with both jc and iinscription after this post
