[Inscription] No discovery of a Minor Glyph!!?!

  1. skaarak <Member>, 1 year ago:

    So this morning I did the discovery of a Minor Glyph and I got a Weapon Vellium (woo....) but then no discovery. I had read that you always discover a new one until there are no more, but it didn't seem to do that for me this morning. I only have 4 minor glyphs so I found it quite annoying not to get another one.
    Any one else run into this?

    I got the same thing last night, only with a scroll of strength or some such. I didn't get a discovery either, that I saw. Could it be that the discovery doesn't show up like it does for alch? Maybe it's still bugged, either in the way it works or in the way it shows a readout for the discovery.

  3. Gummo <Moderator>, 1 year ago:

    See this topic; you apparently can't discover glyphs that you can't make, so if you've discovered all the glyphs available at your skill level, you won't find any more until you raise your skill and higher-level glyphs become discoverable.

  4. skaarak <Member>, 1 year ago:

    Well, seeing as my Inscription skill is 365, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a minor inscription I cannot make (ATM).

    There are a few reports of discoveries not being made, and with 365 skill, you should have 2 months of discoveries to make. Unfortunately, there are so many little glitches in 3.0.2, it is difficult to know if failure is intended. Certainly the vast majority of research is discovering something.

    I doubt it makes a difference, but out of curiosity: were you in a Raid Group when you did the minor research that didn't teach you anything?

  7. skaarak <Member>, 1 year ago:

    Not in any group. No. It was about 5:30am on a MST server (on Tuesday I think). I was in Undercity. My AddOn's are in the 80%+ working category, but there could be some weirdness there.

    Just an FYI in case anyone wants to keep statistics to look for a trend.

    For fun-and-games, I have a lvl 5, skill 75 Scribe and a lvl 70, skill 365 Scribe. Thus far, my level 5 Scribe has discovered 22 minor glyphs, and attempted to learn the 23rd and final allowable minor glyph, "Bear Cub" but instead made a scroll of recall, and no discovery.

    I was figuring that this toon would only learn glyphs requiring skill lvl 75 or lower, which limits to those glyphs using Midnight Ink - all other 22 glyphs requiring Midnight Ink have been discoverd by this toon.

    This is the first time with either toon I have not made a discovery.

    We think Glyph of the Bear Cub was bugged, and could not be discovered on live realms by any means. I'm hoping that was fixed by patch 3.0.3 - but I have not seen one yet.

    I can verify this. Today I got no discovery out of Minor Inscription Research. I had all of the listed minor glyphs (from: http://www.elsprofessions.com/inscription/minor_research.html ) with the exception of Bear Cub.

  11. jetah <Member>, 10 months ago:

    OK, i hoped on the test server (3.0.8) and decided to check minor research. and -YES- i got a new minor. it was a glyph of blast wave. it uses 1 ink of the sea and 1 resilient parchment.

    so this will be very interesting to say the least.

    Interesting, indeed.

    There are a few new glyph spells in the game files (Blast Wave, Thunderstorm, Focus, and Typhoon). If they are all minors it should be possible to discover them all on the test realms with a character that has already discovered every minor available in the live game (which should have happened for anyone making a discovery each day since patch 3.0.2).

    I've got my scribe (who has all live minors) over on the PTR, so far he's discovered Thunderstorm and Blastwave.
    The new minor's so far are all ink of the sea minor's.

    Edit: 20hrs later - Discover Glyph of Typhoon

  14. Thay <Member>, 10 months ago:

    and now Glyph of Focus. So tomorrow will be interesting.
    Althou i'm expecting no glyph to be found

  15. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 10 months ago:

    Thanks. I've confirmed all 4 new minors on the PTR.

    I spoke with a GM last night, you learn new recipies everyday up to a point, then its random chance that you will learn a recipie each day

    if you read the text on the research it states

    "creates a random scroll in an effort to discovery new minor glyph recipies"

    and

    "compiles your experiences from the day, creating an random assortment of inscribed works. you are very likely to discover new major glyph recipies this way"

    these are not guarenteed combines for recipes, it just starts out that way and gets worse one day

    took me a month to get another minor once I stopped getting them once a day, and its been 2 weeks for majors and I know im missing at least 4 recipies.
