Inscription Leveling Guide 1 - 600

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600 :

You should need less, so don't mill every herb, mill them only if you need more pigment.

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.

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Inscription.

Do not forget that 1 [Ink of Dreams] can be traded for any Ink at Ink traders! You can level Inscription by using only Ink of Dreams if it is cheaper than the lower level herbs. Using Ink of Dreams is also a lot faster.

[Light Parchment] is not listed in the guide at the recipes. You can usually buy it from the vendor near your trainer.

• 482 - 490
  Go to Vashj'ir - Kelp'thar Forest. Kill mobs there until you get [Technique: Origami Slime]. The drop rate is pretty high, don't get confused by wowhead data. The recipe will be green, but it only requires Light Parchment to make, which you can buy from Inscription supply vendors. If you don't want to farm the technique, you can make more Blackfallow Ink research.

• 490 - 500
  Go to Deepholm and kill these mobs until you get [Technique: Origami Rock]

  The drop rate is pretty high, don't get confused by wowhead data, but if you are too lazy to go there, you can make more Blackfallow Ink research. I recommend the Origami because it's really cheap to make.

• 500 - 540
  60 x [Ink of Dreams] - 120 Shadow Pigment

  Turn all your [Misty Pigment] into [Starlight Ink].

  You will probably reach even 545 by making the Inks, then stop making them and only make more if you need them.

• 540 - 600
  20 x [Research: Ink of Dreams] - 60 Ink of Dreams

  If your main goal is to get any of the epic Insciption items like [Inscribed Serpent Staff], you should stop making the Research at 560 because you will reach 600 by making the materials for the epic items. (like 20 Scroll of Wisdow). Not to mention the staffs alone will grant you 30 skill points when you make them.
