I did some searching last night and this seems to be the universal guide that you are going to need to get Inscription up to 300. I am going to try to get 2 times anything in the list below so hopefully I can blow through the powerleveling. Anyone else have any ideas on what is needed?

Inscription Guide

Inscription Leveling Guide


At the moment you can’t level inscription past 300.
So revisit us and check if that changed

You mil 5 herbs to 2 - 3 pigments*.
Each herb tier gives different pigments:
(Each means**: You need only one herb from a tier. Eg. you could level just with Peacebloom without using the other Tier 1 herbs at all.)

Alabaster Pigment: Bloodthistle / Peacebloom / Silverleaf / Earthroot / Mageroyal
Dusky Pigment: Briarthorn / Swiftthistle / Bruiseweed / Stranglekelp
Golden Pigment: Wild Steelbloom / Grave Moss / Kingsblood / Liferoot
Emerald Pigment: Fadeleaf / Goldthorn / Khadgar's Whiskers / Wintersbite
Violet Pigment: Firebloom / Purple Lotus / Arthas' Tears / Sungrass / Blindweed / Ghost Mushroom / Gromsblood
Silvery Pigment: Golden Sansam / Dreamfoil / Mountain Silversage / Plaguebloom / Icecap


To level Inscription to 300 you’ll need the following ammount of herbs:
(This list if for the worst case scenario where you would get every time 2 pigments from milling. You should need less materials.)

10 stacks of Alabaster-giving herbs (eg. 200x Peacbloom)
5 stacks of Dusky-giving herbs (eg. 100x Brianthorn)
5 stacks of Golden-giving herbs (eg. 100x Kingsblood)
6 stacks of Emerald-giving herbs (eg. 120x Goldthorn)
12 stacks of Violet-giving herbs (eg. 240x Blindweed)
19 stacks of Silvery-giving herbs (eg. 380x Dreamfoil)

If you don’t have the gathering profession just buy the cheapest herbs from the auction house.


In total you’ll need the following materials:

33 x Silverleaf
20 Silver Ink
81 Alabaster Pigment
39 Dusky Pigment
35 Golden Pigment
41 Emerald Pigment
95 Violet Pigment
150 Silvery Pigment
208 Light Parchment
76 Common Parchment
