:''Were you looking for the type of armor [[augment]]s known as [[Augments#Inscriptions|Inscriptions]] or the class lore from the RPG [[Inscriber]]?''
 
 
'''Inscription''' is a [[profession]] which was introduced in [[Patch 3.0.2]]. Inscription allows players to create [[glyphs]], [[scrolls]], Darkmoon cards, [[vellum]] and various off-hand tomes. Inscription includes a "gathering" skill: [[milling]]. This skill creates base materials from herbs, and is similar to [[disenchanting]] and [[prospecting]].
 
 
== Training as a Scribe==
 
Inscription is taught by various inscription trainers located throughout the world. Prospective scribes must be level 5. Initial training costs 10 copper, granting the Apprentice level with a potential skill of 75.
 
 
[[Inscription trainers|Inscription Trainers]] are available in every racial capital, allowing players to train Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert and Artisan proficiencies. The Master proficiency can be obtained from trainers in {{bc-inline}} [[Hellfire Peninsula]] or {{wotlk-inline}} [[Northrend]]. The Grand Master proficiency can only be obtained from trainers in {{wotlk-inline}} [[Northrend]].
 
 
Unlike [[Jewelcrafting]], another profession added in an expansion set, Inscription can be trained with only the base World of Warcraft (that is, without any expansion sets), as trainers are found in all starting towns, not just expansion set areas.
 
 
The following are the required levels and potential skill of each stage of the profession:

[[Grand Master]] is only available after installing the [[expansion]] [[Wrath of the Lich King]].
 
 
[[Illustrious]] is only available after installing the [[expansion]] [[Cataclysm]].
 
 
==Items produced==
 
Inscription requires a {{loot|common|Virtuoso Inking Set}}, sold by Inscription vendors near each of the trainers. Many recipes require various grades of [[parchment]], which are only available from trade goods and Inscription supplies vendors.
 
 
===Basic materials===
 
{{main|Inscription ingredients}}
 
Base crafting materials are obtained from milling herbs. This creates various pigments, which are in turn used to create inks. Glyphs and scrolls are created from {{Quality|common}} inks, while tomes and Darkmoon cards require both {{Quality|common}} and {{quality|uncommon}} inks.
 
 
{{:Inscription ingredients}}
 
 
===Glyphs===
 
{{main|Glyph}}
 
The "meat and potatoes" of Inscription, glyphs comprise the majority of its recipes. Glyphs come in two grades, major and minor. Each glyph provides a modification to a specific class spell or ability.
 
 
Glyphs are learned from trainers or discovered through research or books. Major glyphs up to and including some grand master recipes are learned from trainers. Minor glyphs are discovered through daily [[Minor Inscription Research]], while major glyphs are discovered through daily [[Northrend Inscription Research]]. A second set of major glyphs can be learned one at a time by using a {{loot|uncommon|Book of Glyph Mastery}}, which can be dropped from any Northrend mob. This second set is not limited to daily discoveries, a scribe can use as many books as their pocketbook allows. A few glyphs are also learned from [[recipes]], just like in other professions. A recipe used in Inscription is called a [[technique]].
 
 
Each glyph requires {{quality|common}} ink and a parchment to create. Minor glyphs require one ink, while some major glyphs require two inks. Glyphs stack to 20 and are not bound, so they can be traded or sold. Each glyph icon is color-coded to match the class it can be used by.
 
 
===Darkmoon cards===
 
Scribes are able to create various Darkmoon cards, which players can combine into decks and turn in to [[Darkmoon Faire]] NPCs for various equipment rewards. These cards include higher-level cards which were previously only obtained from mob drops, and new lower level cards. High level decks can only be turned in when the faire is in town, but lower level ones can be used to summon an NPC at any time, in any location. All the cards, decks and rewards are tradable.

===Enchantment vellums===
 
Scribes could once create various [[vellum]]s that can hold armor or weapon enchantments, but instead now simply make one type of vellum, the {{item|Enchanting Vellum}}. They do not bind and can be sold or traded to [[enchanting|enchanters]], who can then sell enchanted scrolls on the [[auction house]] or [[mail]] them. As of patch 4.0.3 vellum is now sold by enchanting vendors.
 
 
===Off-hand tomes===
 
Scribes are able to produce several [[BoE]] [[off hand]] tomes. Each requires a fairly hefty amount of raw materials. Players should be aware that wielding an off hand item precludes the use of [[shield]]s, [[dual wield]]ing, or two-handed weapons.

===Master's Inscriptions===
 
Master scribes are able to apply permanent augments to their shoulder items, which causes them to become soulbound. Each inscription requires 400 Inscription skill, is learned from trainers, and requires 1 {{loot|uncommon|Snowfall Ink}}.
 
 
{| class="darktable"
