Inscription Leveling Guide

Yes, a bit bored today. Can you tell?

I honestly haven’t been trying to read much about WotLK. Despite reports of “Blizzard working hard” and pools to guess when this year the release date will be - we all know it will be a while before it comes out. I certainly don’t mean to sound negative about that. As a long time Blizzard fan (Starcraft, Diablo I and II) I applaud their “quality over deadlines” motto.

Anywho… I’ve been giving some thought to picking up Inscription when the expansion comes out. Probably as a replacement for skinning. I dropped Skinning for Alchemy, then dropped Alchemy and re-leveled Skinning. Same with Herbalism and Mining. I’m not great at farming (low attention span), so using Skinning as a money maker isn’t my gig. What I liked about it was you got stuff you could sell from something you were already doing - killing things. At 70 though, there aren’t a whole lot of things to skin in the instances and raids.

Not to say that the crafting professions don’t have their downsides. Farming for mats, hoping for rare recipe drops, leveling grinds of their own, the list goes on. But something about Inscription intriques me and I’m thinking it can not only be a good money maker, but personally beneficial. I’d love to, as an example, inscribe my kitty Maim talent with extra stun. Or Mangle with an armor debuff. I haven’t read anywhere that you will be able to do that with Inscription, but those kinds of things are what I think of when I read the little that’s been released about the profession.

Still mulling it around. Haven’t made any firm decisions. I do know that it’s been quite a while since I’ve skinned anything…
