Post glyphs now!

[Littleburst]

How would I start in the glyphing business? I would only need one scribe right?
Training inscription to max level and I'm there?

Then you need to learn glyphs. You can learn 1 minor AND one "major"(since it's major or prime now) each day. So the sooner you level it the better.Allthough i have no idea what will happen when cata hits and how many new glyphs we'll get.

On the topic of APM, I can't get it to post at ANYTHING other than my threshold price. I have disabled all addons and it just posts at the threshold price. I'm sure there must be a bug.

If APM is only posting at your threshold, you probably need to set your fallback price.


Not sure if anyone else used KTQ/ Lil'Sparkys (for crafting glyphs, enchants), neither are working as well after the patch.
Inventorium works with ATSW. Inventorium has some nice features even though its just getting going.

Several inscription toons can do more research per day.
But it is random what you get.
So I'd probably stick with one Scribe only, anyway.

Learn everything from the trainer.
Purchase Books of Glyph mastery.
And do your research faithfully, until you don't learn anything else from it.

Use APM to scan the auction house.
And create any glyphs that you have none of, on the AH or in inventory.
Probably set it to not post a whole lot of one glyph at a time.

Maybe create glyphs once a week, or every few days.
And bulk Cancel and re-Post once or twice a day, to undercut competition.

I have 3 lvl 1's with 4x Pack of endless hides to do the posting, since you will need more then 8x 32 slots to hold all glyphs once you know all. The major problem of this is that restocking your glyphs became a PITA. It is/was possible to manage some with addons, but i never bothered. I mailed all glyphs i had on bankerA to my Scribe and recrafted what was needed. That's the biggest timesink in Inscription if you ask me.

Tiptoptip: Pack of endless hides is used to level up LW several levels, so you'll often find them dirt cheap on AH.

This is an excellent strategy, and if the banker toons are on the same account as your scribe you can use one of the inventory add-ons to see exactly whohas what and how many of each glyph.

I can't remember which add on i am using to do this, I think it may be Collectable?

You can have each alt take care of the glyphs for 1 or more class. Makes it a bit easier to manage restocks.

Do you think I will have totally missed the boat for Glyphs?

I'm never going to be able to get all professions before Cata. I'm going to do some Scholomance grinding to get the PBDiamonds since they sell for 600G on my server, and then lump it all into one profession. What do you think?

I stupidly already did Enchanting... Not sure why.

I leveled Inscription after the big 4.0.1 push and I'm making about 25-60g per glyph. I've made about 7000g only half ass posting and creating new glyphs in about... a week and a half. I buy northrend herbs for 20g-30g a stack, mill them down to inks, create what sells well for me and post them. I'm also on a high pop server so your mileage may vary. Just make sure you figure out your cost for herbs per glyph comes out to, then you'll find what you can easily pay for a stack of herbs. My numbers atm are coming out that I can pay 35g a stack for herbs and still make at least 300% profit when the glyphs are sold. The market is really slowing down atm on my server. So I may just be coming into the tail end of this. Last I spent 4k on herbs that someone had posted for 20g a stack, which is crazy low for my server. I bought up everything and reposted it at market values and I've made back my cost within 10 hours and I have about a quarter of the herbs still sitting on the AH.

Mainpoint in Inscription is getting cheap herbs, if you can sort that then you should make a nice profit. I can only say, that it's definitely worthwil on Grim batol. Leveling a new team on my old and emptier realm Aggramar atm and I'll probably level a scribe here aswell. So from personal experience I would definitely advise it.

Also or the bankers: I tried to have 3 bankers on the same account as the scribe, but that also means 3x the clicking and waiting on Postal to open all mails (500-800+) mails. I think you can open 30 every minute, so that's more then 10 minutes to just open mails. Same goes for posting and ESPECIALLY the clicking to create/cancel auctions. Since that goes 3 times as fast aswell.

1: Deathknight, Druid, Hunter,
2 Mage, Paladin, Priest
3: Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, warrior

That's how i split it up, alphabetically and rogue and warrior both have fewer glyphs then most other classes, so that's usefull.

Included a screenie from checking my mailbox + auctions 10 minutes ago. This is gained over a 2 hour period, by just reposting expired auctions from the day before. Now I do my 'daily' round of buying all herbs on the AH, mill them, see what high priced glyphs I don't have atm with APM, go to dalaran to trade inks, craft them, mail them to alts and list them.

Before I log off for the night, I cancel undercuts and do a relist. All in all about 1 hour of work in total per day for anywhere between 6-12k profit.
