Inscription Guide  

Inscription can be a decent way to make some gold. In fact, you can pretty much take care of all your gold needs with inscription (much like any profession). There is only one requirement: a lot of recipes and a lot of inscriptions. 

The thing that makes Inscriptions very unique is that the listing price on the Auction House is nominal. In other words, you will not lose money if your auctions do not sell. 

Since you can list your glyphs for any price, and if they do not sell, relist them for practically nothing, it leaves the market open for us to make quite a bit of gold. Here is how it works:

·          Create 1-2 copies of every single type of glyph that you have the recipe for. 

·          List them all for a high mark-up, preferably 20-30 gold more than you paid for the materials. You can list in excess of 100 glyphs since they are so cheap to list - list as many glyphs as you have the space for.  

·          List all glyphs for 48 hour auctions and list them all at the same time. 

·          Every 2 days, check on your auctions, and relist the ones that did not sell. Replace the ones that did sell. 

That is really all there is to it - once you craft your initial set of 30+ glyphs, you can often sell them for 20-50 gold mark-up as long as you keep the AH stocked. Eventually, a time will come when yours is the only type of glyph on the AH, and someone who really wants it will buy it. 

Forget selling glyphs for a few gold profit, it just is not worth the time - list them all for 20+g and you will be able to sell 10-30 (depending on how many you list) every 2 days. 

It only takes a few minutes to list all the auctions with a mod like Auctioneer (http://auctioneeraddon.com/) and a mail opener like OpenAll (http://www.wowace.com/addons/openall/) and you will be able to open all your mail very easily.  

Since you are charging so much for glyphs, you will not sell nearly as many. This actually saves time because that means you do not need to recraft glyphs that you have sold. Every time you do have to craft a glyph, you know you have just made 20-30g so it is worth your time. 

While your long-term source of gold will be made via glyphs, there are other ways to make gold, which I will cover below. 

Darkmoon Cards 

With the release of every new expansion (or every new set of Darkmoon Faire trinkets), you can make a solid amount of gold from Darkmoon Faire Cards. There are two ways you can do this: actively farming them and by using your spare Inferno Ink. 

Actively Farming Darkmoon Cards

If you actively want to try to farm Darkmoon Cards, you can do the following: 

·          Mill Cinderbloom, Stormvine, Azshara's Veil, Heartblossom, Twilight Jasmine, or Whiptail (whichever is cheapest). 

·          10 Inferno Inks are required for each Darkmoon Card, which you can then sell on the Auction House. 

·          Convert all leftover Ashen Pigments into Blackfallow Ink and then turn the ink into glyphs. Turn the spare ink into glyphs. If you really need to dump a bunch of these, you buy Inferno Ink for 10 Blackfallow Inks (at the Inscription vendor in Stormwind / Orgrimmar). 

Naturally, this requires the price of the average Darkmoon Card to be several hundred gold. This does not seem to be likely, and as a result, I do not recommend this approach. I recommend using them as an Inferno Ink dump. 

Using your Spare Inferno Ink

Inferno ink has little use outside of making your BoP epics; I recommend simply converting your Inferno Ink into Darkmoon Cards as you happen to get it as you create glyphs. It is an easy way to make some extra gold as you create glyphs to sell on the auction house. 

Darkmoon Cards and the Darkmoon Faire

Darkmoon Cards spike in value around the time the Darkmoon Faire comes to town. As you create cards, save them for a few days before the Darkmoon Faire comes to town. Players will start looking for cards at this time and the prices will skyrocket. 

Note: The Darkmoon Faire comes around the Sunday before the first Monday of the month (why it is not just the first Monday of each month, I have no idea). It is easier to just consult the WoW Event calendar to check the schedule for the Darkmoon Faire (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/calendar/).  

Dust of Disappearance and Enchanting Vellum

Both of these items will sell very rapidly (possibly to the magnitude of 100+ per day on each server). Keeping your auction house well-supplied can make you quite a bit of gold. 

I recommend listing these in stacks of 1, as most players will only be looking for 1. Some Enchanters may be looking for stacks of Enchanting Vellum, but most will just be looking to send an enchant to their alt or their friend, so I find selling these in singles works the best.  

Most people just want to change 1-2 glyphs around with each respec or build change, so Dust of Disappearance also works best in stacks of 1.  

Just be sure to check the AH regularly, and whenever the price rises enough for this to be profitable, craft a few dozen and list them up in singles. Auctioneer once again helps in automating this process. 

Inscription Wrap-Up - Putting it All Together

Here is your easy step-by-step plan for making a few hundred gold per day (or more!) in just a few minutes of playing: 

·          Craft 2-3 of each type of glyph that you have the recipe for. 

·          List every glyph you have on the auction house for 48 hours for a minimum of 30 gold (more if market price dictates it). Make sure you are making a 20 gold profit off of each sale. 

·          Check your mail every 2 days and relist all the glyphs that do not sell. Create the ones that do sell again and list them over again. 

·          Convert all your extra Inferno Ink into Darkmoon Cards and list when the Darkmoon Faire event is live on the server.
