Inscription Add-on

1. chikchik, November 2008:

   So I took up Inscription on the first day of the 3.0 release and power-leveled to 350 and discovered a minor glyph.
   The next day I took an alt to Lvl 75 and discovered a minor glyph.
   I've been faithfully discovering minors every day (some overlap but so what). All the glyphs go to the AH and sales have been good. I try to keep 3 of each glyph up for auction at all times.

   Needing herbs in vast quantities and having them be cheaper on the Alliance side than Horde, I decided to open another store in Ironforge. I had previously set up toons in IF and Gadgetzan to pass mats to my Horde characters. I then sent 3 of each minor glyph to my Alliance AH toon. Sales on the Alliance AH are even better than the Horde side.

   On Wed, 11/12, I took my main to Northrend and power-leveled to 385 for the Northrend Inscription Research and discovered a major glyph. I've been faithfully discovering majors with this toon every day.

   So now my problem is time. Every morning I do an inventory check of my Horde and Alliance AH's, decide which glyphs have sold out, have one of my Horde toons make 3x of those glyphs and mail them out or transfer them through Gadgetzan. But now we're talking about 50 different minor glyphs and 5 majors.

   I need an addon that will 1) list the glyphs that I have up on the AH (Armory add-on does this very nicely) 2) compares that list to the list of discovered minor and major glyphs that I want to keep up on the AH and 3) generate a list of glyphs to make; # for the IF AH and # for the Org AH. I need to be able to edit the list to be made to eliminate those that are going for under XX gold.

   I have no experience writing UI's but it seems like all the information is there, being stored by other addons that I have. I just need to get them to talk to each other and then let me know what they said.

   I have had a similar experience - the crafting list is huge and the display window is small. I wish there was a streamlined way to move from herbs > pigments > inks > final product.

   Right now I either work the entire process in reverse, or simply have all the necessary inks pre-made in the bank (my current solution). Although I also have an alchemist so would prefer to leave my mats as herbs, useful to both professions.

   ok, there is a great mod for professions. Advanced Trade Skill Window, avail on curse, can tell you from the pigments -> final product w/o much aggravation. it's only limitation is it will not tell you the herbs needed to make the ink. also a window can be enabled to popup while at the bank to pull your items from the bank so you can make whatever you wanted to make. this mod has the ability to queue multiple items across multiple characters, then makes a list at the AH for easy searching.

   and also makes the window wider (similar to some of the quest addons).
