Materials 290-350

It is estimated that you should mill 250 herbs (50 millings) that produce Nether/Ebon Pigment. Any from: Ancient Lichen, Dreaming Glory, Felweed, Mana Thistle, Netherbloom, Nightmare Vine, Ragveil, or Terocone. You should gain at least 124 Nether Pigment and about 20 Ebon Pigment (the precise number of Ebon Pigment is not important).

Most recipes in this skill block use Resilient Parchment. You will need about 45. You will also use Heavy Parchment.

Leveling 290-350

Recipes from skill 290 can only be trained in Outland and Northrend. Outland trainers can be found in the main faction towns in Hellfire Peninsula.

Darkflame Ink has no practical use for leveling, except to gain a couple of skill points. Simply mill all the Ebon Pigment you have, and sell the ink (by auction or vendor). Ink sells to vendors for far more than the vendor-value of the pigment. The Ink can be used to make Greater Darkmoon Card, but a lot of other materials are required, including Primal Life.

The skill level required to learn recipes varies between Northrend and non-Northrend trainers for 2 scrolls in this skill block. These scrolls have not been used in the skill-up path shown.

After 350 in Outland

At skill 350 Inscribers should move on to create Northrend inks and recipes. You do not need to advance beyond 350 in Outland.

For those who have not felt the Wrath of the Lich King ((without the expansion)), it is possible to learn recipes that use Outland herbs at skill 350. These are listed below. You should be able to reach skill 360: About 25 Ethereal Ink, requiring 50 extra Nether Pigment (about 20 millings, or 100 extra Outland herbs). Attempting to reach 365 is not recommended: The final 5 points are "green", with a very small chance of a skill up at 364.

Scribes with Wrath of the Lich King can keep training.
