MoP Inscription 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.

  make more Blackfallow Ink research.

(like 20 Scroll of Wisdow). Not to mention the staffs alone will grant you 30 skill points when youmake them.
