WoW Confidential

A blue poster has confirmed today that ink traders will be added to both Stormwind and Orgrimmar in patch 4.0.6: Source “Ink Traders are being added to Stormwind and Orgrimmar in 4.0.6.” People have been requesting an ink trader be added to major cities since the start of Cataclysm, given that there are no longer [...]

Inscription is my main source of gold so far in Cataclysm. It only requires about an hour a day to pull in my profits but I wouldn’t get near this efficiency with my time without the proper addons to not only focus my efforts on the most profitable glyphs but to keep fully stocked on [...]

Between WOTLK and Cataclysm the whole glyph market changed completely, we went from a commodity market where glyphs were constantly being bought up as players glyphed for different pvp/pve situations to a market where the sales are now much lower as each character needs to buy glyphs only once but prices are higher. On this [...]

The Darkmoon Faire is in town for the first time since the launch of Cataclysm and I took the opportunity to level from 485 inscription to max and have my hand at making gold with Cataclysm Darkmoon Cards. Back in WOTLK I made a lot of gold by crafting darkmoon cards; the old Greatness, Illusion [...]

I’ve been really grinding out glyphs the last couple days and I’ve noticed a peculiar pattern. Given that the cost of cataclysm herbs are still inflated it is cheaper in most cases to buy the lower level herbs and craft them manually than to convert blackfallow inks into them. However one thing I have noticed [...]

Selling glyphs in WOTLK was highly profitable and was how I made my first 100,000g profit in WoW, however many things have changed since inscription first came out and since we are so early in Cataclysm there are a lot of factors to consider before making gold with glyphs again. It was easy determining your [...]

Cataclysm is here, and while everyone is still making the mad dash to hit level 85 and gear up for heroics there are others with professions on their minds, particularly the high gold making profession inscription. Inscription was my highest gold earner in Wrath of the Lich King, I earned my first 100,000g with it [...]

Some people I regularly talk about the wow economy with have mentioned that the Darkmoon Card of the North now only requires 1 eternal life to craft, down from 3. Darkmoon cards used to be a profitable way to use up all those left over snowfall inks but as time went on the value of [...]

After logging on for patch 4.0.3 I spent some time visiting various vendors. We know that Jessica Sellers only converts Blackfallow inks now instead of inks of the sea. However another surprising vendor change I noticed is that Enchanting Vellums are sold by the Enchanting Supplies vendor Ildine Sorrowspear for 9s 50c. No More Vellum [...]

MMO-Champion and WoW Insider are both speculating that 4.0.3 is going to hit servers live tomorrow. In 4.0.3 according to the PTR Jessica Sellers will no longer allow you to convert inks of the sea into any other ink you want, meaning that if you usually keep a large stockpile of inks of the sea [...]
