[Inscription] PTR 3.1

  1. jetah <Member>, 8 months ago:

    logged in (w/o addons, which suck) and did my research...

    and nothing.

    anyone get any discoverys while doing research on the PTR?

  2. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 8 months ago:

    Agreed. Nothing new discovered so far.

    Worth adding that in the first PTR build, most of the widely reported "new glyphs" were only known to the game client as simple spells: There were no glyph properties set in the data files, so they could not be used as glyphs. In essence, this is still work in progress by the developers.

    Does anyone else see this patch and dual specs in particular as a bad thing for us scribes? With people being able to switch specs easily that means the demand for glyphs on respecs has just gone. I was hoping that this summonable Lexicon might be decent compensation but it seems that's never going to be implemented.

    supposidly the recipies are bought outside of uldar

  5. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 8 months ago:

    I don't see any vendor on the EU English PTR. Perhaps a temporary vendor was added; very briefly?

    • Character: El (EU-Ravenholdt).

    In response to Growler's question, I think Dual spec is going to be a huge boon in the short term. Every level 80's got to double up? That's HUGE! Hopefully dual spec will lead to a lot more experimentation which should be good long term business, but it could backfire in the way Growler has mentioned, so we'll have to see. In our favor, it looks like Blizzard has some more glyphs and changes to existing glyphs in the works, so that should encourage some turnover, too. I am cautiosly optimistic.

    Happy scribing!!

    From the latest patch notes Thay ,

    "Added around 50 new glyph recipes. These new recipes can be obtained from Books of Glyph Mastery found as world drops on Northrend monsters. Reading a Book of Glyph Mastery randomly discovers one of the newly-added recipes."

    Oh great. Its that Heavy Frostweave bandage book thing all over again. 50 Times !!!!!

    I saw that. Should make things interesting.
    Whilst the random learning allows each book be of use, it makes it hard if you are wanted to learn a specific Glyph.
    Still as I currently have every Glyph in the game at 70, It was too be expected.

  10. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 8 months ago:

    So far I've spent hours farming trying to get one of these items to drop. Conclusion: New glyphs are going to be genuinely rare for a while...

  11. North <Member>, 8 months ago:

    Any idea if the books drop for non-scribes? I'm hoping the AH won't be an option, or else it becomes another dice roll like Nobles cards (ie, money going to the AH seller and the scribe left with random luck on glyph discovery - not unlike using considerable mats and getting a non-Nobles card).

  12. Zim <Member>, 7 months ago:

    I liked this idea, Its a move like patterns drop.
    This will take luck or money, but It can provide you with some exclusivity you don“t see now.

    Zim.
    On patch day I will logoff in Silverbrook, Grizzly Hills... patch and login planning to stay until I get my hands on Rituals of the New Moon!

  13. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 7 months ago:

    I guess they expect few people to farm it on patch day: On the PTR, I needed to clear the entire camp several times before it dropped. With more than a few people farming, it will become impossible.

    Logged on to the PTR late last night (like 4am EST). The Inscription Trainer had recipes for me to train. Northrend Inscription Research allowed the discovery of a Glyph. Minor Inscription did not. Sorry for no screenies, wasn't even thinking since it was late.

    I am maxed Scribe and have all recipes prior to patch. As of Build 9757, the trainer had no new recipes for me to learn nor did I gain any new recipes via Minor nor Major Research. The vendor had recipes upon original release of PTR (forget which ones), one or two I believe, but nothing since then. Perhaps the trainable ones you learned were from then?

    I did notice a categorization change, where the shoulder glyphs are in your recipe book, they have moved Northrend Inscription there under the "Inscribe" category.

  16. North <Member>, 7 months ago:

    So how is inscription post-patch working out for people?

    I still think this design is a mistake. Right now non-scribes are probably making more than the average scribe by selling Glyph Mastery books at outrageous prices. We're then left learning a random glyph which may make our money back or...not. And really, right now is the only time to hit it big by learning an important glyph before others. And with dual-specs now in-play, the turn-over is going to be slim.

    Meanwhile book prices will drop over the next several weeks and eventually everyone will know the full glyph list. Blerg.

    Thoughts?
