World of Warcraft Inscriptions Professions Guide

Inscriptions was added in WoW's second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Inscriptions allows players to make Glyphs which can be used to enchance your characters potential. There are two types of Glyphs, Major and Minor. Major will will greatly enhance your character in ways such as lowering cooldowns, adding more damage to an ability or giving one of your basic abilites a unique "proc".

Minor Glyphs will increase your characters potential in minor ways, like increasing the duration of a buff or reducing the mana cost of some spells. Inscriptions also gives the player the ability to Mill herbs, allowing you to pull pigments out of some herbs which allow you to make ink.

Choosing A Second Profession

The best second profession to choose with Inscriptions is Herbalism. Herbalism will allow you to get cost free materials for Inscriptions. If you have a lot of money I recommend of course, Enchanting.

 

Extra Benefit With Inscriptions

With Inscriptions you will be able to get extra powerful Shoulder Enchants, and of course won't have to look for someone to make your Glyphs!

 

Profiting With Inscriptions

It's fairly easy, well.. Super easy to profit off Inscriptions. All you need to do is make decent Major Glyphs and sell them. Check the Auction House and learn what Major Glyphs are the most powerful and sell the best. Then make a few and toss them on the AH.
