3 new minor glyphs become available. These are all discovered during Minor Inscription Research. All are made with 1 Ink of the Sea and 1 Resilient Parchment. Minimum skill is unknown, but (based on the reagents) likely to be above 350:

• Glyph of Thunderstorm (Shaman): Increases the mana you receive from your Thunderstorm ability by 2%, but the spell no longer knocks enemies back. Requires level 70.

Off-Hands for All

More Vellum

All vellum recipes now produce 2 vellum. Each recipe uses twice as much parchment as before, but the same amount of ink. This should make vellum considerably cheaper to produce.
