El’s Anglin’ Updated for WotLK
Busy packing warm clothing for a trip to Northrend on 13th November? El’s Extreme Anglin’ has been completely updated with Wrath of the Lich King information. The biggest changes are:
- Training – Including a new 350-450 cooking and fishing leveling guide. A guide to Dalaran Daily Cooking Quests has been added.
- Valuable Fish – Many new valuable catches, from buff food to minipets.
Please post about anything you find confusing or inaccurate on the forums.
Inscription Beta 9095
Major changes:
- Ethereal Ink is trainable at skill 290. Scrolls trained at 290 and 295 use Shimmering Ink. The hardest part of the leveling curve should be fixed. Twice.
- Almost all Northrend-only trained glyphs can no longer be trained… Tentatively: These are now discovered using Northrend Inscription Research.
- Many changes to existing glyphs and new glyphs added in-game.
- Off-hands become Bind on Equip – but still require Inscription skill to use.
To avoid confusion, all “pre-WotLK Inscription” changes are listed here until these changes are patched onto live realms. The rest of El’s Inscription will be updated with WotLK-only changes.
Pigments from Milling
All herbs in the same milling-skill group give similar amounts of pigments. But are all herbs the same? New analysis suggests that higher-level herbs within each skill-group may give more pigments. Particularly secondary pigments. Read more.
Inscription Power-Leveling Guide
The first version of the Inscription leveling guide is now available, for 1 to 350. The guide adjusts for known quirks and bugs in the current beta. It should give an accurate estimate of the herb volumes needed. However, major changes may occur in the next week: Inscription is still not finished! Read the guide.
Inscription Beta 9038
Changes:
- Scrolls now use fewer materials (and make fewer scrolls). Many can now be used to skill-up easily.
- Small changes to skill-ups around skill 300, but with flawed logic (Scroll of Stamina VI and Scroll of Spirit VI are trained below skill 300, but still require 300-skill Ethereal Ink to make). Leveling above skill 350 is still not complete.
- Caution: The skill required to learn recipes varies between different trainers for several scrolls, Mysterious Tarot, and Mystic Tome: A Dalaran skill-up and a pre-WotLK skill-up are currently different.
Inscription Beta 9014
Latest changes:
- Pigments required for most inks have changed.
- Recipes for many Inscriptions (off-hands, tarot) have changed – most require an extra ink. Skilling-up is easier after 200, but leveling is still unfinished.
- Level required to unlock glyph slots has changed (most importantly, the 3rd major glyph slot requires level 80).
- Research no longer has a level requirement.
- Vellum names have changed. The Paladin’s Warhorse glyph has become Wise.
WotLK: Dalaran Fishing Movie
A video showing fishing in Dalaran has been added. It includes Giant Sewer Rats, strange elixirs, and fountain coins. Watch the film here.
