Inscription Guide 1-450

This Inscription guide is designed to aid you in leveling your Inscription skill from 1-450.  Although you may find alternative routes along your way, in my experience this is the fastest and most affordable way.  If you fail to follow this guide closely you may waste gold by buying extra mats that you’ll never use.

Traditionally Inscription is paired with Herbalism as a profession.  Although being an herbalist will help to reduce the cost of leveling Inscription it is not mandatory.  I often just buy the mats from the auction house.  However, if you’d like to level Herbalism you may want to check out my Herbalism guide.

Although I have made every effort to make leveling Inscription as affordable as possible it will still require a considerable amount of gold.  If you are low on gold, click here.
