[Inscription] Minor Reseach List

  1. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:

    For reference, I've added a list of all known Minor glyph research.

    If the price of minor glyphs is still reasonable on your server, consider rolling an alt, just to learn Inscription up to skill 75, which can then discover minor glyphs.

    Thinking that the real money would be in Minor Glyphs, at least initially, I made sure that I leveled 5 alts that had been sitting around to Lvl 15 + before the patch hit. I got them straight upto level 75 Inscribing and had them all research. I thought I was a bit unlucky with getting two repeat discoveries on the second day - ie two toons with same discovery. I was distraught yesterday (5th round) with 5 of my 6 discoveries being repeats, so I took a look at what they had all learned.

    I had 17 of the 21 discoveries using Midnight Ink, 1 of the 13 using Lions, 1 of the 10 using Celestial and none of the higher Ink Discoveries. I then thought that these higher level ink using discoveries might have a rarer discovery chance.

    CLUNK !

    What if lower level inscribers can only discover lower level glyphs ?!? Sure enough, my max level inscriber had the only two higher ink discoveries. All the 75ish alts had Midnight only discoveries.

    Yesterday I leveled two of the alts to experience level 20 and Expert Inscription. This morning one of them discovered a Lions recipe while the others didn't (not conclusive but validating). It may be that the discovery 'Roll Book' may be determined by ability to make the ink or something other than rank

    Points to make :-

    1) Higher Ink level inscriptions will be rarer as the leveling inscribers will not discover them until later on. AH prices and availability reflect this on my server.

    2) It is worth not using a discovery in the leveling process if you are power leveling. Do it once you hit max if only an hour or two away. You have a chance to make a rarer more valuable discovery.

    Anyone got any points of reference with the higher ink discoveries ? (ie a Jadefire at level 136 inscription etc).

    I hope this isn't a widely known thing and I'm just re-hacking past work.

    Thanks to this site I made 15k gold on the first day (Penguin ftw!) and have 35k gold now 5 days in. Where do I send your commission ?!

    Yeps, that's the case.

    On the PTR my scribe ran minor inscription research when the cooldown was still bugged (presumably on purpose to allow testing) - you could reset the cooldown by zoning (hopping in to or out of Rage Fire Chasm worked great). At one point the research stopped: doing the research no longer taught me new recipes. After I leveled up inscription a few levels more, it started giving recipes again. Conclusion: Minor Inscription Research gives you a random minor glyph recipe that (a) you haven't discovered before and (b) that you can make at your inscription level. Currently you can check wowhead to find out what the minor glyph recipe levels are. (El: consider adding those levels here on this site too, maybe?)

    Lesson: want to discover a particular skill level 80 glyph? Your best chance to discover it is from skill levels 80 to 84. Before 80 you cannot discover it. From 85 onward there are more recipes available for discovery, lowering your chance to get the level 80 one.

    Discovery levels for the minors.

    Midnight/Light at 75
    Lions/Light at 100
    Lions/Common at 125
    Jadefire/Common at 150
    Celestial/Common at 200
    Ethereal/Resilient at 325

    They are all orange/yellow/green for 5 Levels from their discovery point.

    Optimum level for number of discoveries v cost is 150. You will only be out of play on 2 discoveries (Safe Fall and Enduring Victory)

    Agreed. Great insights.

    The only discovery I'm having trouble confirming is Glyph of the Bear Cub. I've added it at skill 75 based on reagents only.

    Glyph of Levitate does not fit the pattern - available at 175, yet uses Jadefire/Common.

    Does anyone have a spreadsheet with all of the researched Minor Glyphs and Major Glyphs currently available in game?

    I tried to copy and paste from El's website to an excel spreadsheet, but it doesn't come out very pretty :)

    Hi Dpartd,

    I tried this with a Google Docs spreadsheet and it seems to work quite well. You just paste the function:

    =ImportHTML("http://www.elsprofessions.com/forums/topic/minor-reseach-list", "table", 1)

    into a cell in the spreadsheet and it creates a "live" area in your spreadsheet that will be updated anytime the table on source page is updated. (The third argument with a value of 1 is an index to which table on the source page you want to link...it's 1-based so a 1 means the first table).

    You can then export an .xls file of this spreadsheet to Excel...the excel spreadsheet won't be "live".

    It would be nice if this table had a column for Class and maybe for the level of the inscription.
