I've made an Inscription guide. It's based on my recent experience on the PTR. Hopefully it's a decent counterpart to El's guide. (It's very much in a different style.)
You can find it here.
I would appreciate any feedback, corrections, disagreements, etc.
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 3 years ago:Interesting approach. We're both faced with the same "luck"/predictability/variability problem. The only guarantee is to assume 2 primary pigments from every milling, which naturally tends to require vastly more herbs!
I assume you are using the Alabaster set into the 80s because these herbs tend to be cheaper - and this is the exception where the first skill block does not use 2 inks in all the final recipes, so it makes sense to continue using the cheaper herbs?
As a side note: inks seem to always sell to vendor for more than the value of their raw pigments, so it should be worth making inks out of all the secondary pigments you gain - you have nothing to loose.

Yeah. I figured since Armor Vellum is still yellow, cheap, and useful... why not.

Secondary pigments. I did agonize a bit over those. If I'm remembering this correctly, I favored making secondary inks only when the gold-saving factor (i.e. avoiding making something else in those 5 levels that's expensive) outweighed the annoyance/unpredictability factor (since most of them are green). I also figured that the raw secondary pigments would be in high demand on the AH, but that's just a guess.
Like I said, my guide is sort of a different style. It's based more on my personal preferences than anything else. : )
