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.

Inscription Leveling Guide 1 – 60

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.

    • 95 – 101
      2 x [Research:Moonglow Ink] – 6 Moonglow Ink

You can make this one up to 150 if you want to. I switch to Midnight reasearch to keep the number of

    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, youcan make more Blackfallow Ink research. I recommend the Origami because it’s really cheap to make.

Levels 500 – 600

  • 540 – 600
    20 x [Research: Inkof Dreams] – 60 Ink of DreamsIf your main goal is to get any of the epic Insciption items like [Inscribed Serpent Staff], youshould stop making the Research at 560 because you will reach 600 by making the materials for the epicitems. (like 20 Scroll of Wisdow). Not to mention the staffs alone will grant you 30 skill points when youmake them.
