Inscription Guide
Posted on October 10th, 2008 by Gavin under Auction House, Gold Building, World of Warcraft
Inscription went live on October 15th with patch 3.0.2, and a lot of our subscribers who have been paying attention to our advice made thousands of gold in a matter of a few hours.
We’ve leveled Inscription with every beta and PTR patch, and we know it like the back of our hands. We’ve done it more than 20 times through all the crazy changes, and farmed who knows how many herbs in the process. In a previous post, I reported that in just a little over 4 days I hit the gold cap of 214,000 gold selling glyphs in the Beta.
I’ve been telling you for a while that Inscription is going to be a huge gold-making machine. I’ve spent the last four years playing this game, and I look at World of Warcraft a bit differently than most players. I know how to spot tidbits in patch notes and see gold hidden between the lines. I know how to take advantage of special events and how to get prepared ahead of time. Inscription has the potential to make you more gold than anything else, ever. Period.
When I sat down to write this guide, I didn’t want some low-rent list of what to craft and in what order – those things are all over the internet (and already outdated, and most are dead wrong to boot!)
So we put our heads together and our noses to the grindstone, and when the smoke had cleared, we had a monster 40 page Inscription guide that teaches you what to make, when to make it, how to sell it, and how to squeeze every last gold coin out of the other players on your server.
Here Are Some Of The Things I Teach in my Inscription Guide:
·
- Inscription Basics - I’ll talk you through exactly how Inscription works for the scribe from start to finish. If you know how it works before you try to work it you’ll be a master of the profession before you even hit 375
- Why You Should Do Inscription - Learn how big this market is really going to be, and why it’s worth THOUSANDS of gold to you
- Selling Glyphs - Understand exactly how to sell everything you make with Inscription
- Mods you simply must have - Grab the tools you will need to make sure you stay on top of all the noob scribes and nutballs out there
- Pricing Strategies - Learn how to price your glyphs to sell like mad and still make maximum profits
- Maximizing Your Profits - Where you’ll learn how to position Major and Minor glyphs on the market to bury yourself in piles of gold and why Minor glyphs may be the best money maker in the game
- Mastering Inscription - A step by step process where you will learn what herbs to buy, how to use herbalism the right way to farm specifically for Inscription, and how to hit skill level 375 in the shortest possible period of time
- Printable Action Plan - Once you’ve read the report you can print out our action plan as a quick reference. Armed with all that information and a solid plan you can attack Inscription today knowing exactly what you need to do next to fill your bank with massive piles of gold.
This beauty is not just a profession leveling guide; It’s a personal tutorial that will teach you how to completely crush the Inscription market. With this guide by your side, it won’t matter how many other people on your server are Scribes – you’ll constantly be one step ahead of them.
You’ll learn:
- Which herbs to really stock up on, it will surprise you (page 22)
- Which Glyphs to sell for almost 300 gold the very first day (page 19)
- A method of selling that will have people begging to send you their gold (page 15)
- An herb farming location often overlooked for one of the hardest pigments to create (page 26)
- When To Stop Right In The Middle Of Leveling To Run Straight To The AH And Sell (page 37)
I know there are lots of free Inscription guides out there. I’ve already seen most of them and you know what? They suck. They are outdated and poorly written, and NONE of them go beyond the basics. We have a saying here at the DYS office – “you can do the best you can, or you can be the best there is.” My Inscription Guide is the best there is…

WOOT, bought the guide, logged in on patch day 4 hours after the server went live and was the first person on the server to hit 355. lvled in 3 1/2 hours and posted 1/2 on AH and sold other half in Org. I MADE 2,876g in 3 hours. THANK YOU!!!!
Go take a look at the gold sellers websites around the net - how much would 2,876 gold cost you? About $60. That doesn’t even take into account the hours of frustration you’ll save by knowing exactly how to level up Inscription - Mageblade started 4 hours after everyone else, and still beat them all to 355.
Even though my Inscription Guide will teach you how to earn thousands upon thousands of gold, we’re not charging an arm and a leg for it. In fact, the price is only $14. Remember, that price includes free updates, and your purchase is covered by our 30-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Beautiful, i might take a look at it myself.
Gavin, i just got done reading your inscription guide and ive never paid for a guide for warcraft before but i have to say, this is awesome!!!!! Thanks for everything you do!
Sarah
Guide is great very informative. Cant wait to Dominate the Market on my server! Thanks guys.
Hey Gavin, I just bought the Guide and I tell you this thing must have taken you forever! I hope you don’t have another job because I don’t think there is ANY way for you to get any sleep otherwise. I appriciate all the hard work. I’ve been farming for days getting everything I could, and think with this guide I just might be able to pull in a FAT pile of money come Patch Day. Thanks for all the help,
Daryl.
The $7 kind of popped out of nowhere. I realize that for goods or services rendered in a capitalist system there needs to be compensation - I actually strongly support this. However, in a WoW-based blog that already gets revenue through pay-per-click ADs the fee was kind of unexpected. I happily purchased the guide, and though the first 10 pages are pure fluff (not to mention lots of white space) the rest of the guide is fairly useful. I’ve saved up about 10,000 herbs anyway so I probably didn’t need it, but I’m glad I did. I hope people who bought version 1.0 won’t be asked to pay for 2.0/3.0 versions.
Everyone who gets this special edition will also receive free updates to all future versions. That’s the big bonus here: well that and this version should make you more gold in one week than anything else you’ve ever done.
Not only are you getting the updates for half price, but you also get this edition basically for free when you think about it AND if you go through the action plan you can’t do anything but make a LOT of gold. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
We know it would have been much better to give everyone more time, but we just ran out of time. Inscription got some changes just Wed., and they were significant enough that we had to re-level it a few times to make sure everything was as right as we could get it for release today.
I bought the guide when it first came out and started stocking up my herbs. Didn’t want to spend the gold to buy them so i picked them all myself. First day of the patch arrives… Auctioneer can’t be found working anywhere, LOL and my server is down a good 4 hours past the time they said it would be up. Most of the other servers, of course, were up hours earlier.
Anyway, I followed the guide exactly, and I’ve made about 1000g each day on selling glyphs since, even without having auctioneer to help.
I’d say it was well worth the $7 the guide cost me.
Oh yeah. Considering the hundreds+ hours of work and research that went into putthing this guide together, the price is a bargain. 
Making lots of gold is wonderful.
Ok, please don’t bullshit me like every other guide out there (you guys are normally pretty straight forward though). I recently switched from ally to horde, and don’t play to go back to my 70s on the ally side. The problem is that I don’t have 70 yet on the server I plan to dominate. Highest level is 42, next one (which is my herbalist) is 35. My herbalism is at 225. Are the items you suggest to farm within my farming range, or should I just level this one to the bigger boys? I plan to just sell herbs at first, and take on inscription at a later date…
I’ll give it to you straight. Level 42 will get you through the Master level which will get you to skill level 225. That level is going to leave you without a bunch of major glyphs, but will allow you to learn all of the minor glyphs available at this point.
If you planned on selling herbs, let me offer another potential thing to sell. Go ahead and grab inscription and farm the herbs for and learn all of the minor glyphs you can while you level. Don’t just wait until later to do Inscription. Learning minor glyphs is on a 20 hour cooldown, so don’t wait.
The guide is laid out as a step-by-step plan, and you can just stop when you hit the limits of your current level. Using the guide you’ll still make a killing even if you can’t go all the way. You’ll just Dominate the lower half of the market, which is still a lot.
You could sell inks, they will be more valuable than the herbs for a while, but if you are going to level Inscription high enough to make all the available inks, you might as well be making the glyphs and be selling them for even more profit.
It would still be to your benefit to have the guide. The biggest reason is that if you get it now, you’ll get it at half price and still get all the future versions to use when your toons are at level 80. It’s a no lose proposition for you.
See, that’s what I wanted to hear. The truth! Thank you so much! I think I’ll go ahead and buy the guide, as it seems that it might just be beneficial for me to start on day one… Now, is the only location to pick up Inscription going to be in Outlands? If so, I need to go buy a port now, and run my way to the location…
There are Inscription trainers in every major city, the outlands trainers in Hellfire train the last levels and glyphs. So in your situation you’ll be just fine - you won’t need to go to Outlands for anything.
Hi Law and Gavin,
I’m dropping LW tonight and switching to Herbalism on my Shadow Priest to farm Herbs for leveling Inscription in 3.0 on my Warlock.
Honestly, if I purchase your guide (I’ve been a DYS reader for almost 2 years now), how much gold can I REALISTICALLY make in the first week of 3.0 go-live?
Wow, that’s hard to say. There are just too many variables there. But my guess is that I should be able to make 10% as much on the live servers as I did in the Beta, which means I expect to make 25,000 gold or more the first week.
Now, I have a LOT of experience working the AH, it’s really my favorite thing and my area of expertise in the game. If the AH was Raid gear, I would have all BT gear and the legendary drops. If the Ah was arena I would have all the best PvP gear.
But here’s the thing - that’s what this guide is about. We wanted to write something that would help everybody do well with this one. It’s a unique opportunity, and we want our readers to make nearly as much gold as we do. You might not make as much gold as Gavin and I do, but you may very well make more. It kind of depends on your server and how the market moves. Inscription is the perfect storm of everything we look for in a gold-making opportunity.
The Inscription guide WILL help you squeeze every possible gold piece possible out of this event. If we’ve done our job well, there will be folks that use our techniques to make even more gold than we do on their server. That’s when you know the information was great, when what people learn from the teacher allows the student to be even better than the teacher. We’ve been teaching you guys for a couple of years now, and the Inscription guide will take you through one of our gold-making processes in such a complete way that you can’t help but make a pile of gold much bigger than you could have without it and maybe even bigger than mine.
Without a doubt this guide is essential! In addition to Gavin’s and Lawbringer’s words of wisdom I have been doing some additonal research on my own (referance inscription) and the info they put out today isn’t common knowledge on the street at all. Its packed with all kinds of little gems of info that will ensure you maximize your profits. Without it you might make some serious errors come patch-day! This is the most if not the ONLY comprehensive guide out there. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a definitive 10! Worth every penny!
Theos/Theor-Medivh
I have a concern about competition. I have a fairly low pop server but some really aggressive AH folks on there whose names are constantly monopolizing the market for various items. I would guess a few of them are probably subscribers here even. With that in mind, are there any potential issues for something like this? Is your guide assuming everyone is asleep at the wheel with herbs/inscription or can I do well in a small but competitive market?
Thanks for all the help.
Matt
I know there is a great market on the first week of 3.0 patch, but how about after WoLK release? it’s 1 month after, but I want my DK to get Inscription instead of droping my other toon’s prof (really want to keep alc on priest)…. should I just sell some of the extra herb on AH? or have my lvl20 alt mill the herb? or just wait for the DK
The market will surge again to a degree when all the DK’s hit the market, but since people will be able to make DK glyphs BEFORE wrath hits, it won’t give you as big of a bump as this first round.
Inscription and glyphs will continue to make gold for - well, ever basically. There are still JC’s out there making good gold cutting gems. Glyphs beat gems silly. Also, don’t you just KNOW that there will be recipe drops? Every other profession has them, so it would be stupid to think that every single scribe will always have all the same trainer glyphs.
I know it might be tough to think about dropping alchemy if you’ve learned a lot of proc recipes. If you don’t have another reasonably high level toon to do Inscription with, it STILL might be worth your while to drop alchemy for this one. My Scribe dropped LW 375 and skinning for this. It’s just too big a gold-making opportunity for me to wait on.
So, don’t wait for the DK, making the level 150 inks won’t be a big gold-maker (making inks will probably only work if you can make a lot of them at nearly all the levels up to 300) and if you simply can’t bring yourself to drop alchemy you’re only left with one choice, sell your herbs. Peg your price at 300% above whatever the current market is and I guarantee you not a single one will go unsold.
The really ironic thing about this choice is that since herb prices are about to skyrocket out of control and stay much higher than ever before, your alchemy from farming the herbs themselves is about to go through the roof too - kind of a funny choice you’re faced with here.
Just adding my comment here - I am an Alch/Herb and my Pally is taking Scribing - as for the Drops, I would *think* there will be some since the trainers stop at 350. This could also be for game balance, and Blizz is waiting for Higher levels to be around before releasing the Higher Glyphs. However, Pot Formulas Rarely drop, i have only seen/gotten a few, and most are in instances. So - that being said, I would expect the more Fluffy Glyphs to be drops. Possibly some rare and “Epic” Drops as well, but based on past experience, I wouldnt expect many. I want to see if there will be Rep Glyphs - that should be interesting.
The Guide was helpful.
Looking forward to seeing where this will go.
Currently, My Servers AH is Flooded with the lower level stuff needed to level. I am holding onto some of these so once the market adjusts, I will get prime coin for them.
Additionally, the 2 Minors I have are selling Nicely for 100g a pop, and i have sold over 15 so far (not many, but covers the cost of the herbs i didnt have in stock)
Cheers, and god luck.
why would i spend money on an inscription guide that will probably only make me profit for about a month? I would much rather spend my money on a more gold-reliable guide
thanks though
You’re in luck, we are doing one of those - BUT . . .
If you do Inscription right from the very start, you can be THE scribe on your server, which will make you lots of money for a lot longer than just a month. The key here is that this patch has the potential to make you more money than anything else you can possibly do for the next month.
I think you’ve got the wrong impression about just what this is and how good we are at what we do. But I hear you, and we’ve been working on a complete gold guide that covers how to make thousands of gold every week no matter what special things are going on that will be available soon. But I don’t think that’s a good reason to miss this one - up to you.
Matt - If the aggressive AH guys have this guide, you will all still make a killing. If you read the guide you will understand why. 5 People on a server couldn’t flood the market the first week. If they don’t have this guide, you WILL beat them at this. Either way you win. And at half price and all the future updates it’s a no-brainer.
Actually - it would be my personal opinion that if those other guys are DYS readers, it would be the best possible situation. They will not do stupid things like drastically cut prices and crazy things that will make the market move DOWN. They will know that they can move the market UP. A few of you who can do this could potentially keep the market much higher for a lot longer than if everyone else selling glyphs is a noob.
But, more directly, if you are in a small AND competitive market, you have only two choices: supply all the scribes with ink, or go to market with a better plan and beat them all to heck. Honestly I hope you choose to do the latter. This guide will tell you everything you need to know to beat them all at this opportunity.
Got & read your guide. Good Job!! The list of herb mats helped a lot to get me organized. I have a personal guild bank with 5 tabs, one dedicated to herbs. After going through your list & taking inventory, I found I was short in a couple sections, while over in others. This alone will save me a bunch of time. With your guide I figure I should reach 350 within short order once the patch goes live. I already have all the mats to reach 375, but am buying/farming more until patch day.
I do have a suggestion. In each section the herbs sell for different prices. For example in section 8 (Nether Pigment Herbs), Nightmare Vine sells for around 35-40g while Felweed sells for around 3-5g per stack. I was able to buy over 70 stacks of Felweed for 3g a stack in one shot.
I had purchased your leveling guide & now have 5 70’s & 2 60’s. Figured by buying the inscription guide I’d help support you & this site. More than got my money’s worth. Keep up the good work. More fun to do it myself with a little knowledge than to cheat & buy gold or pay someone to level my charaters. Why were playing wow to have fun.
Thanks

This guide is nothing short of amazing. It consists of where you need to train, what to train, where to pick herbs, and what/how to sell for the best profits. It may be really in-depth, but that is because these guys have put together every little detail you need to know and more. I can’t imagine the time spent on this.
If you havn’t bought this guide yet then I suggest doing it now. Not only is it half price currently, but this will prepare you so that when the Xpac comes out you will be the top inscripter on the server within a day. Most people will start from scratch and even if they have herbs stocked they still won’t know what to do. This way you will be fully prepared.
Yeah this inscriptions prf is great our herb AH market is nuts it’s at 900% above market * Insane* iv’e got about 50000 herbs lol mega gold rush here
haha iv’e been casually farming 4 ever with over 2 guild bank tab’s of mountain silver sage a winner on this server with prices at 70 gold a stack WOOT WOOT
DOMINATE
People who get this guide might question some of the pricing strategies we used. IF you have any question about how profitable this is going to be, just read the post above and then look at this:
70 gold for the second best Silvery Pigment herb means a mill price of almost 18 gold. This is only 90s difference from the EXACT price we predicted in the Inscription Guide! Not only that, but the patch isn’t even out yet. Prices will go higher than this, and so will glyph profit potential.
IF you’ve farmed all your herbs by hand OR were able to buy all your herbs for lower than past market value - AND herbs jump like what we’ve seen already, that means you can sell your glyphs based on FUTURE herb prices, while using mats from PAST prices and watch the gold roll in like a tidal wave.
We covered every single bit of this in this guide, and everyone who gets it will find ZERO surprises on patch day and beyond.
For those toying with the thought of buying the guide consider this.
1. The info contained within every single free guide on the net (inscription and herbalism) is contained and put to shame in this one.
2. Maximizing profit is an understatement. I’ve just read it and estimate a 500% increase in profits than i would have gotten, mostly from ignorance of where the real money making is.
3. Free updates.
4. The money-saving tips in the previous DYS post “Order Wotlk Now” will pay for this guide rather quickly, and you will still have the benefit of having it.
Bottom line, if you want to crush the opposition to pigments and make glyphs of them, spend seven bucks.
I just bought the guide and I am waiting on delivery. Just hope that your guaranteed update covers any new mods and such. Bought Brian Koops leveling guide awhile ago expecting ALL updates, just to find him charging extra now for the in game mod. That left me filled with doubts about guides on this site, but I decided to give you guys one more try. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed.
Hey Koyote,
You should have received the guide instantly after payment. If you didn’t send a copy of your receipt to editor@dominateyourserver.com and we’ll email it right back to you.
As for updates… when we say free updates, we mean it
-Gavin
Hiya Gavin & team!
Was a bit doubtfull about buying the guide, but it didnt cost much so I thought ‘why not’. Very glad I did
Its pretty indepth and will def save me much time and stress on patch day.
Quick question though, looking through the herbs i will need to hit 375, im way way over stocked on Albaster Pigment herbs (around 100 stacks) would you recomend i sell the earthroot now at about 5g a stack and just use the peaceblooms/silverleaf (making me 3g profit per stack) or wait and sell them all on patch day onwards? or indeed just keep them and use them myself?
Many thanks!
Just got the guide and I’m blown away by the step by step details. Also, great for planning what herbs I need. I had a lot of misconceptions based on other guides, such as the WoW forums etc…I found that I overstocked herbs on some and had at least one type of pigment that I didn’t have enough of. Huge surprise as I thought for sure I had enough. I would have been caught out paying through the nose to stock up on that ink to level further. Time to hit the farming again before patch to get what I need. Great guide, would recommend to anyone not on Dath’Remar (that’s the server I am going to dominate lol). 2 Thumbs up on $7 well spent. Thanks.
sigh boy talk about bad timing haha .. payday is not till the 14th.. and i know ill missout onthe special price but what’s a month of wow compared to 5 epic flying mounts when i currently have none.
waspire is an original and unique name and im still the only wow toon to have it.
lets see if i can uhumm borrow some cash from my brother. see ya tomorrow .. Good luck all on patchday.
for horde side on antonidias the market for herbs is Scarce and the market on alliance is like HUGE .. i went and compared them bolth the horde side was 50% cheaper… price for silversage as of this morning was 65gper 20 with only 4 stacks available and alliance was at 95g with 15 stacks avail.
so gavin yea time to go farming.
Well I apologize for posting here but have no responses from the emails I sent you guys. I paid via Paypal and thought I’d have to wait for money to transfer from my bank so I closed the window and didn’t get the download either. I’ve emailed you at the address you gave for Koyote’s issue but no response yet. So I’m posting here so you’ll see it. Thanks.
Matt
Hi Matt,
Your guide is on the way!
-Gavin
Just wondering, what is the price for AHing the inks and glyphs? Is it free to list like enchanting mats or does it cost more like herbs/alchemy? How much should I save to list, buy parchment etc…?
Hi Guys I have bought guides from you in the past and they rocked!
I was also going to wait for the Xpack and slam inscription on a DK until I saw the potential for uber gold making. I have 375 herbalism on my 70 main and 375 alchemy. I am going to drop mining from my lvl 36 alt and teach her inscription.
QUESTION: Is there any benefit (besides gathering) to having herbalism on a character with Inscription? I’m hoping no as she also skins.
Lvl 36 will get this character to Master and then I can level her to get to the better high level glyphs?
Thanks
As far as I can tell there is no major benefit to having a toon with both Herbalism and Inscription, as long as you have a way to feed your scribe all the herbs s/he needs. However, to my mind it’s a natural pairing (just like Herbalism/Alchemy and Tailoring/Enchanting and Mining/JC|Engineering).
I’m not sure your statement is correct here. Herb prices are going to rise a LOT. having herbalism on at least one toon will reduce your production costs for mats to zero which means more profit.
Until herb prices stabilize, it will be very beneficial to have an herbalist to go with Inscription.
The guide doesn’t specify which beta/PTR revision the numbers in the checklist are for. For example, PTR build 9056 increased the number of herbs needed at almost every level, so that the shopping list in this guide (which I bought, and it well worth the money — great work) are a little lower than some other guides I’ve seen. Definitely take the advice that you should overstock: if you don’t, you are going to lose. Herbing after the patch is released is going to be painful, especially in the Old World.
The guide is correct according to build 9056. As a matter of fact, that is one of the reasons that we couldn’t put the guide out on monday. We had to go back and level Inscription another couple of time according to the latest build to make sure there would NOT be any surprises.
However, keep in mind that build 9056 may not be precisely the way Inscription finalizes for patch 3.0.2 - there may still be some minor changes. The other guides you are looking at actually are done from previous builds.
It’s not exactly accurate to say that 9056 increased the number of herbs needed on all levels. The biggest difference in 9056 was that there seems to be a shift from Silvery Pigment herbs being the hardest part to the Emerald pigment herbs being brutal.
It is a very good idea to overstock, that is why we say that having 40 stacks of every herb type is a very good idea. Not just so you make sure you’ve got enough mats to merely level, but also that you have plenty to make a lot more glyphs to sell after you level.
I have been subscribed to your articles for months now, and I have always found that they come very handy. Im Ashamed to admit that i used to think you were a scammer, it wasnt untill you recently posted this article that I decided to test drive your guides. I was preparing myself for a scam, untill i received and read your Inscription leveling guide. And I never thought i would actually be replying with good comments about it, I seriously had the impression that you wrote all of these comments about your guide to yourself to make you look more legit. But this has got to be the best guide i have ever seen, and i am very impressed, i thought i was prepared for inscription bit i was wrong, not untill this guide have i really been ready for inscription. I am also much more confident on using the AH. To anyone that is considering buying this guide, i highly reccomend it. It is only foolish to miss this oppurtunity, this window into lots of gold. And gavin and his team have showed us how to take full advantage of it. Thank you so much.
I’ve been following inscription for a while now, and I really want to jump on it when the patch goes live. Problem is, I just started on a new server to play with a bunch of guys, so my character is only going to be around 50 come patch day, and I have very litle gold. I’ve been farming as much low level herbs along the way, but my priority has been leveling. With this in mind, is it even worth it for me to pick up the guide, or inscription for that matter?
Tyler,
With the situation you just described, I don’t think that current version of our Inscription Guide will be as useful to you as it would be to someone ready to hit it on patch day (this version is all about how to maximize gold on patch day).
However, you’ve got plenty of time to level your toon and max out inscription before WotLK comes out. The next version of our Inscription Guide will be geared for that day, and there will still be lots of gold to be made then… the techniques will just be different.
If you want to do Inscription and you’re going to be able to get to level 70 before WotLK comes out, then I’d recommend getting our Inscription Guide now instead of waiting - it’ll save you $7 down the road (since the price goes up on patch day).
- Gavin
Thanks for all the advice guys, im on a slightly smaller server and because of that i bought up the whole herb market on thursday and have been steadily jacking up the prices in preparation for patch day so my insciptions sell for more, have also been buying up all the ******** stuff so people get stuck at that when they try to lvl since about a week and a half ago. our herbs on the server from outlands all the way down have over quadrupled and there are still people trying to pick them up. the few others who herb heavily on my server ive convinced its in there best interest not to undercut me by more than a gold per stack so come patch day there should be quite a killing to make especially seeing as how ive picked up all my herbs at a vastly discounted price when people were trying to empty their banks for the xpac
Let’s not discuss the contents of the guide in the comments. It’s in everyone’s best interest to keep this information to themselves.
Just one thing, i bought this guide and it seems solid. Although I think my server (Dunemaul EU) has gone a little too far in herb prices. Currently im looking at 10g for a stack of 20 PEACEBLOOM. It gets pretty astronomical once you get to the end end stuff, dreamfoil for 70g, anyone?
Basically, should i make any adjustments to what you are suggesting in the guide when it comes to selling these glyphs?
Most definitely! When you read our pricing section, just plug in your current price per mill on your server, and then make the same profit increase % on your glyphs. You are going to make a killing.
A change of subject. Will we be able to use our flying mounts in the new area? Or will we have to get new ones?
Yes, you will use your current flying mounts, but not until
a quest chainyou pay 1000g at level 77 give you the “cold weather flying” ability.Hey, iv’e been loading up on herbs for the last bit trying to prepare for the patch. I have at least 35 stacks of everything from golden up with 45 of the Emerald. On the lower end stuff I only have about 20 stacks each. I was just wondering how much this will affect proffits for me. Should I go out and get some more Alabaster and dusky, or keep focus on the higher end stuff to make a larger profitt on the higher end herbs? any opinions? Thanks.
The guide tells you where the sweet spot is. As a general rule more of everything is better, but Alabaster isn’t something I would have a lot of - it just doesn’t make anything very profitable at all. All of the rest are fair game, just be sure to hit the sweet spot hard.
Just a quick question. Does rare herbs like grave moss, wintersbite, and wild steelbloom have a greater proc rate at rare pigments? But the real question is, Is it worth farming or buying these rare herbs at higher prices than the normal herbs or farming these herbs than regular herbs?
If you’re farming - just get the most herbs you can. It’s not really worth the tons of extra time to go for the rare stuff since the proc rate boost isn’t more than 1%.
Almost the same thing with buying them, except that it’s nice to have a few stacks of the rare stuff just for the rare pigment procs, but don’t spend an arm and a leg.
We didn’t go into proc rates in this version because it’s pretty much a moot point for the first week or two. It will be more important later to farm the right stuff more exactly, but don’t worry about it now.
gavin would it be possible to reserve a copy at the 7 dollar price ? well honestly i want the guide but payday is wed… and like every military guy out there the 1st and 15th are the paydays.. so would ya be willing to extend it till wed night?

Still wondering if there are listing fees for inscription glyphs and such, anyone know? Is it like enchanting mats or more like alchemy with 1-2g listing fee. Really need to know so I can budget for it. Would hate to spend all my money on herbs and not be able to list the products. Also I would need to take off precious herb farming time to go do dailies for coin if I don’t have to. Any info, even if general approximates, would be appreciated. Thx.
Yes the guide has suggested prices, of course the actual one you will have to tweak for your server. I wont say any specifics, but this profession looks very profitable
