Inscription – The Inscribed Wisdom
With the release of the latest WoW expansion WoTLK we gained the possibility to take the Inscription profession. This profession is very useful especially now when players got a chance to put 3 major and 3 minor glyphs on themselves which will improve their gaming performance greatly.
As a Scribe you are able to create various class specific glyphs as well as various vellums, scrolls, off-hand tomes and Darkmoon cards. If you choose Inscription as your profession you will receive the ability called milling. For Milling you will need a lot of herbs to produce mats needed for Inscription.

Where to train
Inscription trainers could be found in every capital city and allow a player to train his skill up to 300. For 375 skill a player needs to visit a trainer in Hellfire Peninsula while for 450 skill he needs to seek a trainer in Northrend.
What are vellums used for?
Vellums can be used by Enchanters because it allows them to place their Enchants on the Vellum. Vellums enable an Enchanter to place an Enchant on vellum and to place these Vellums on the Auction House. This also allows an Enchanter to enchant gear of his alt chars.
What about glyphs?
Glyphs are a new feature in WoW. A player is able to place on himself 6 glyphs of his choice. You can use three major and three minor glyphs. If your character has a dual talent build you can use 6 different glyphs for each build.
Tomes
A Scribe can also produce various BoE (Bind on Equip) off-hand tomes. These tomes will not bring much profit to a Scribe but at some point they can be quite useful. For the best leveling guide click here: Ultimate Guide WoW.
Minor Inscription Research
Minor Inscription Research is available for everybody that takes Inscription as profession. With this research a Scribe is able to discover a new glyph which he can later craft. If you want to do a research you will need:
- Virtuoso Inking Set
Reagents: Moonglow Ink and 2x Light Parchment
With the mentioned mats a Scribe will be able to make random scrolls and while doing that you have a chance to discover new glyphs (minor).
Herbalism and Inscription
As every profession has its counterpart, Inscription has Herbalism. Herbalism is suggested as a good second profession since one will need large amounts of herbs to craft mats for the Inscription skill.
Inscription = profitable?
You can earn quite a bit of gold with Inscription. Just by making the glyphs you can earn quite a bit. Some glyphs are better for selling than others though. However, you will be able to discover more glyphs as you go and you will be able to craft them.
If you take Enchanting and Inscription you can also make a lot of money out of selling Enchants which can be placed on the Vellums. Perhaps you are already an Enchanter. Use Inscription to sell enchants on a more convenient and faster way. If you do it like this there will be no need to stand in the cities all day announcing which Enchants you can make.
Lastly you can also sell Darkmoon cards which go for nice amounts of gold. Once combined into a deck you can take a quest from it. The quest requires you to visit the Darkmoon fair where you can hand in the deck and receive an awesome epic trinket in return. If you would like more on WoW Leveling, click here: WoW Guide
