Materials 1-75
Train Apprentice Inscription, from any Inscription trainer. You will need to be at least level 5 to do this. Training will cost 1 silver.
Mill 120 herbs (24 millings) that produce Alabaster Pigment. Any from: Earthroot, Peacebloom, or Silverleaf. You should gain at least 62 Alabaster Pigment.
Inscriptions at this skill level use Light Parchment. All parchments can be purchased from Inscription vendors. These are either stood near Inscription trainers, or the trainer is also a vendor. You will need 53 Light Parchment to level from skill 1 to 75.
Leveling 1-35
The first 35 skill points teach you a method that is used a lot in this guide: First make all the ink you need, then use it. We do this because inks "go grey" faster than other recipes. So we make the ink while there is a chance to gain a skill-up.
From skill 18, you have a choice: Each of the 3 scrolls listed use the same materials, and have the same skill-up chance. You just need to make 17 scrolls in total. These low-level scrolls are not commonly used, so you will probably just sell them to a nearby vendor. So it does not matter which scroll you make. Later in the guide you will be offered choices, and sometimes one of the choices is more valuable: Perhaps it will sell for more money, or you can use it yourself.

Leveling 35-75
Skill 35 adds a new ink, which uses twice as much Alabaster Pigment as Ivory Ink. Use the Alabaster Pigment you milled at skill 1. The method is the same as before: Make the ink, then use it.

| 35 | 54 | 22 | Moonglow Ink | 44 | Alabaster Pigment (2) | 35 | 45 | 60 | 75 | Spare Moonglow Ink can be used for Minor Inscription Research. |
| 54 | 75 | 21 | Enchanting Vellum (2) | 42 | Light Parchment (2) | 35 | 75 | 87 | 100 | Scroll of Recall can be made instead until skill 60. Scroll of Recall uses less parchment, but is less valuable at auction than Enchanting Vellum. |
| 21 | Moonglow Ink (1) | |||||||||
Scroll of Recall act like an extra single-use hearthstone. Above level 40 this basic type fails, teleporting you to the wrong place! If you are at low ((character)) level, try making a few Scroll of Recall. Otherwise make Enchanting Vellum. Read more about Scroll of Recall.
Each Enchanting Vellum is used by an enchanter to write down an enchant. That creates a new scroll. The scroll can be traded or mailed. With patch 4.0.1, Enchanting Vellum can be used for all enchants, regardless of level or type. Vendors will not buy vellum, but it will sell via the Auction House. Learn more about Vellum.
Between skill 50 and 75, train Journeyman rank from any Inscription trainer. You will need to be at least level 10 to do this. Training will cost 10 silver.
