Scribes among us, I have to apologize. I promised a part two to the Inscription guide right after BlizzCon, and then what did I do? I played RPGS. Don't blame me, it was totally Disgaea 3's fault, and Fable 2, and Fallout 3, and even Wrath. All of them lured me with their peer pressure and their "it won't matter, it's not like people actually level professions," and before you knew it, we were here, a week after the launch of Wrath without a part two.
But I have returned from the depths of my RPG addiction to provide you with the next installment of our Inscription Powerleveling Guide and to warn you: This is merely a set of suggestions on how to best get your Scribe Skills up to par. Many glyphs will be more useful for your particular class than what I have listed, and if so, feel free to use those along your path to profession herodom. If you are just intent on leveling through, however, this will get the job done, and you can auction off your remaining glyphs to make up the cost in herbs.
Pigments
Speaking of herbs, here's your shopping list for pigments to get from 150 to 225. As with any milling process, the exact amount of flowers needed will vary depending on your luck with mortar and pestle:
| Pigment | Amount Required |
Herbs |
|---|---|---|
| Emerald | 110 | Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Khadgar's Whisker, wintersbite |
| Indigo | 16 | Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Khadgar's Whisker, wintersbite |
| Violet | 94 | Arthas' Tears, Blindweed, Firebloom, Ghost Mushroom, Gromsblood, Purple Lotus, Sungrass |
Herbs
This breaks down into this approximate shopping list. Yes, things are a lot simpler at this level, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Nodes of Fadeleaf and Goldthorn are going to be very popular for midlevel Scribes. I recommend a mod called Gatherer, which will mark the nodes on your minimap for easy tracking.
| Herb | Stacks Required |
|---|---|
| Goldthorn | 11 |
| Sungrass | 5 |
Supplies
When you're done with gathering (or buying) your Goldthorn, make sure to stop by the Inscription Supplier for some parchment:
| Quantity | Item |
|---|---|
| 60 | Common Parchment |
Leveling Inscription 150 to 225: Expert to Artisan
Minor Glyphs
Minor Glyphs are the most sought after in the game. They are only trained through Inscription Research, so it's vital that you remember to use your Cooldown on Minor Inscription Research whenever it is up. While Major Glyph recipes are all well and good, the Minor Glyphs are well the real fun abilities are.
So there you have it. At this point in the game you will want to train in Artisan Inscription. Also of note: When you are milling for Violet Pigment you will also get Ruby Pigment. Save this as you will be using it in the next push of powerleveling from 225 to 375, which we will focus on next. Until then, enjoy the scribing!
