Inscription history
Inscription joined World of Warcraft with Wrath of the Lich King, making it one of the few primary professions added after launch. Glyph systems and product categories have changed since then, but milling herbs into pigments and inks remains its defining process.
What Inscription offers
Scribes produce glyphs and a changing selection of expansion-specific items. Because its catalogue can differ markedly from one expansion to another, players should evaluate current recipes rather than relying on the profession's role in an older era.
Professions commonly paired with Inscription
Herbalism provides the raw plants used for milling and is the most direct companion. Alchemy draws from the same herb market, so material prices often reflect demand from both production professions.
