Would be nice if we had a BoA for them.<br /> All my toons get the glyphs free so that is a bonus to me.<br /> I have sold very few. I may take a look and see what is selling for a good price and make up a few and put them on the AH.<br /> Darkmoon card sets are a laugh, you have to make so many, as they are random you never get what you need and multipuls of others. To make 2 decks I made like almost 80 cards and I still had to buy one fill in. Would be a nice advantage that after like 15 cards or so the game would check and give you a card you needed to complete a deck.<br /> Fortutude scroll is nice but they seem not to sell very well on my server. </p> http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/topic/is-the-inscription-profession-dead#post-340 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:31:02 +0000 Nesh 340@http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/ <p>There are a couple of glyphs on my server that consistently go for below cost, either because they are good for leveling, they aren't any use to anyone (Glyph of Raptor Strike), or both. </p> <p>Otherwise, I continue to make revenues of about 1000g a day on costs of about 100g a day. For a long time I was making only 300g a day because two other scribes spent several weeks in a fierce undercutting battle. </p> <p>Cartels always seem like a good idea until, 3 days in, somebody turns around, backstabs everyone else, and starts undercutting just enough to rake in a windfall for a couple of days.</p> <p>Herbs on my server average 20g-60g a stack, but I never pay over 8g. I bargain shop and I buy in bulk. I know when the best times are to buy herbs on my server, and I stay on the lookout for farmers dropping large quantities of, say, Icethorn, on the AH. </p> <p>Go back and check again -- I doubt that every single glyph is selling for 70s (or whatever "below cost" is). I recommend downloading Quick Auctions 3 and learning to use the "Summary" button -- find 10 or 20 glyphs that are selling above cost, verify on talentchic.com that they are in use by the general population, make one of each, and then list them up mid-evening. You should be able to make a sale. </p> http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/topic/is-the-inscription-profession-dead#post-339 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:56:32 +0000 Tintin 339@http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/ <p>I chose inscription mainly because i like the idea of writing and making stuff. However ive found that it really doesn't make you a very good living.</p> <p>My thoughts for the reason is that fellow inscribers particularly on my server think that they must sell there wares at below cost. By below cost i mean the cost of obtaining mats at AH prices and paper at friendly rep.</p> <p>We are all the first to complain that inscription is now a dead profession but the way i see it if we all facted in a realistic cost price and added your proffit magin of say 30% as just a figure then we might all start to benifit again.</p> <p>The other reason i have joined this forum is i thought it would be a good was to form a inscription cartell lol.</p> <p>Well the way i see it if we all posted the going rate of AH mats at our various AH then we could all work out the cost price and work out a recommended sale price as a starting point.</p> <p>Then if fellow inscribers wanted to add more proffit to the item it would be a matter for them and allow a little compertion. Just my thoughts.

And herbalism can provide a reasonable income. In terms of person advantages, skinning gives a small +crit bonus, vs an instant heal from herbalism, so skinning is probably more useful to a mage. </p> http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/topic/advice-on-dropping-profession#post-224 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:16:54 +0000 Mrpooter 224@http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/ <p>Hi<br /> I have not really paid attention to my professions (lvl 70 Alliance mage) but I do have fully skilled Skinning, Apart from farming Cobra scales which sometimes sell for 25g sometimes don't sell at all, this seemed more useful when I was lower level 'cos you skinned what you had killed.</p> <p>My other skill was Enchantment which was still so low level I've barely started it.

The TBC-only condition was announced by Blizzard a few months ago, but not something I can personally check. Logically you should be able to train up to 300. If you level it further (beyond 105), please let us know how far you can get without the expansion. </p> http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/topic/inscription-withou-bc#post-222 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:02:49 +0000 diskad 222@http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/ <p>Hello</p> <p>I just wanted to comment on the Inscription requirements, it says that the Burning Crusade Expansion is needed to learn the profession.
