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 ?!
