How to make money with inscriptionFollow

Having Money Problems?

I was too until I discovered inscriptioning with patch 2.4 Echoes of Doom. Inscriptioning is really easy to get up if you farm all the herbs yourself. It'll take a few hours to lvl from 1-450 but it'll all be worth it. I make an average of 500 gold per day for just 1 hour or less of work with inscriptioning. How does it work? I'll show you

Once you've grinded to level 450 you might have noticed that some glyphs sell for alot more than others. You also might have noticed that Minor glyphs sell for alot more than the major glyphs do at the lower lvls. Why is that? It's because you have to do Minor Inscription Research every 20 hours to get a new minor inscription. These minor inscription recipes usually sell from 10-20 gold a glyph!! this can help you make easy money at lower lvls by just learning a new recipe everyday and making that item. All minor glyphs only cost 1 ink and the herbs can be easily farmed. As you get into the higher lvls and get into northrend you'll have a new research that you can do everyday. It's called Northrend inscription research. Make sure you do this also every 20 hours as they're alot of glyphs that can be learned while doing this. Once you've hit 450 your probably like "Hey where's this money your talking about???" Patience and will get through this.

Now that you've reached 450 you've probably already have alot of minor glyph recipes and if you havn't yet, make some minor glyphs and put them on the auction house. this alone should make you nearly 200 gold per day if you have 15-20 minor glyph recipes. Here's a list of each class and the minor glyphs that sell the best (According the Arthas server).

Once you've made alot of money with minor glyphs you should be able to have an epic ground mount and possibly even an epic flying mount depending on how well your auctions sold and if you did it everyday. If you have received an epic flying mount Storm Peaks is the greatest place to farm herbs for your northrend glyphs. I personally buy the lower lvl herbs from the auction house. Sometimes the prices are bogus, but i seem to be able to find 20 stacks of herbs for about 20 gold or less and i'll make about about 60-100 gold for that 20 gold of herbs. If you don't wanna buy the auction house herbs you can go farm them yourself but if you really want your time to be worth it you'll just farm northrend herbs and buy low lvl herbs for your glyphs. I'll now post the best selling Major Glyphs that include the northrend major glyphs.

These are the best northrend glyphs that sell well that i've sold so far and they keep selling which is a bonus. To farm these herbs for these glyphs like a said you can farm herbs in Storm Peaks. you can get cheap herbs off the AH if they're there (Tiger Lily seems to sell for the least so buy that if you want to buy them off the Ah).

This is as of Patch 3.0.9 so i'll update glyphs when the new patches come.

Now if you've stayed with me until the very end I'll let you in a little secret to big bucks$$$. Just a couple days ago I farmed 300 herbs in storm peaks and then i milled all of them with my pally. I got about 20 Snowfall inks outta all the herbs and about 90 Ink of the Sea. I made 3 cards with my snowfall inks and got 2 nobles cards!!!. I got the ace of nobles and the six of nobles. These sell for alot on any server. I decided that i would gouge the market and see if they're were any desperate buyers. normally they sell for 1k gold or less. I put my Ace of nobles up for 2k gold and my Six of Nobles up for 1400 gold. They both sold within 3 hours and i made 3400 gold for 2 hours of herbing in storm peaks!!!, and I still had the 90 ink of seas to make glyphs out of. I then spent another 30 mins making glyphs. the 90 glyphs added another 1500 gold to the number within 3 days. So this can add up pretty fast if your lucky enough to get nobles cards. If you wanna do the safer route you can sell your snowfall ink for about 60 gold a pop or gamble for a nobles card. This profession makes alot of money and I hope it makes you some money too cause there's nothing like be rich while others complain about how they have no gold and they do /beg to get it. Pathetic. Take my advice. Within a month you'll have more than enough money to get gems, enchants, gear and if you save up enough you can get some of the most expensive mounts in the game.

The losers won't listen. They will whine/complain/QQ that it takes 1) too much time 2) too much commitment (have to be raiding/arenaing/BGing instead) AND 3) too much work (why don't you have a solution that will make me gold in the background?). ...or they will say "It's impossible on my server. It can't be done!", which really means that they haven't tried (or they haven't tried properly).

Lol, wow I never knew that Inscribes could make the cards. Thats pretty cool. I'm actually thinking of switching over to it. I currently have Herb and Alch both at max and some of the flasks and elixirs sell at okay amounts. I usually keep my herbs awhile due to keeping my supplies in good healthly with myself. Which is okay but Im not making much out of it. I do hear that Inscribe has some added bomnus to having like a cool shoulder enchant, is there anyothers? Thanks.

Well at the moment I have potion mastery. Being a pally I used to go through alot before the 3.0 changes. Now I rarely use any potions. I've thought about going to Elixir but Im not too sure who I need to talk to about that. Ya I had the trinket that came out from leveling and had it for a good while too.

I keep eyeing off Inscription for my new alt...

Are people still making money from following the below above?

On my server, we have a couple inscriptionists constantly underpricing everything by 5-15g. You put a glyph up for 15g, they'll put one up for 3g. I'm hoping eventually they'll go broke from the cost of vellum, but they don't seem to realize that they're selling for way less than cost.
