Inscription Guide

New fresh information about the new Profession: Inscription. The most promising news is that Enchanters will be able to sell enchants on the AH with the help of an Inscriber!

* Inscriptors can create blank parchments, such as the Bleached Parchment seen in the picture. Each type of parchment works for one type of item to enchant -- armor, weapon, etc. Enchanters can cast enchantments on those parchments, to create, for instance, that Scroll of Enchant Cloak - Greater Defense. These scrolls can be listed on the AH, mailed, or traded like any other unbound item. The scrolls can be right-clicked by anyone to apply the enchantment to their own items.
* Spells will be enhanced by Glyphs, which will be created by inscribers and will be tradable.
* Glyphs have three sizes: Minor, Lesser, and Greater. Obviously Minor Glyps have smaller effects on spells and Greater Glyphs give the bigest upgrades to spells.


o Greater Glyphs provide major upgrades to spells. Examples that have been given are the addition of stuns or DoTs to spells, increased damage, or knockbacks.
o Lesser Glyphs provide upgrades to spells similar to Greater Glyphs, but are not as powerful.
o Minor Glyphs provide small upgrades, or cosmetic improvements. Examples that have been given are the removal of reagent requirements from spells, lowering spell costs, or changing spell graphics.


* There is an ability called Glyph Mastery that's categorized under Inscription which gives access to an additional Glyph slot for the inscriber, but it is unknown how this ability is attained. Maybe it's a specialization, like other professions have.
* Each character has six Glyph slots: two Minor, two Lesser, and two Greater. There is a screenshot below if you scroll down, that's the Glyph interface, available to every character. On the Glyph Interface, the larger circles with gold borders around them are for placement of Greater Glyphs, the large circles with no gold borders are for Lesser Glyphs, and the smaller circles are for Minor Glyphs.
* Runewords will be temporary Enchants like sharpening stones or mana oil for weapons. An example: [Runeword of Minor Magic]. We still don't know yet, that these will be inscriber-only, or if they will be tradable.
* Runes of Power will allow inscribers to cast extra spells, consuming ink to do so. We have only one example for this so far: [Runic Blast]

Inscription looks a very cool new profession, and as I mentinoed in a previous post, you should stack low level herbs , if you are planning on to level Inscription.
