Inscription leveling guide
Inscription in MoP Classic runs from 525 to 600 on Ink of Dreams from milling Pandaria herbs, which makes Herbalism the natural partner. Making the ink itself already gives skill up to about 540. Counts are approximate: a recipe can turn green a few points earlier or later.
What to gather or buy
| Material | About |
|---|---|
| Shadow Pigment | 114 |
| Starlight Ink | 9 |
Milling Pandaria herbs gives Shadow Pigment and sometimes the rare Misty Pigment, which becomes Starlight Ink. Glyphs that need another ink can be bought with Ink of Dreams from the Ink Traders.
Route
| Skill | Craft | Per craft |
|---|---|---|
| 525-540 | Ink of Dreams | 2 Shadow Pigment |
| 540-541 | Scroll of Wisdom | 3 Ink of Dreams |
| 541-595 | Glyphs that are still orange | 3 Ink of Dreams |
| 595-600 | A Greater shoulder inscription | 3 Starlight Ink |
Trainers and tips
- Zen Master Inscription is taught by the inscription trainers in the capital cities from character level 80, so you do not have to travel to Pandaria for it. Inkmaster Wei in The Jade Forest also teaches it.
- Each Scroll of Wisdom teaches a new glyph, which gives you more orange recipes to work with.
- Glyphs sell well on the auction house, so the route pays back part of its cost.
