With the WotLK Classic pre-patch launch, the inscription profession will be added to the game. Many will use this time to quickly power-level the new profession as they await the official Classic Wrath launch on September 26th. Our Inscription 1 - 450 guide will help you easily and efficiently level up your new profession.
Where to Learn Inscription - Trainer Locations
The first thing you need to do is learn inscription. As a reminder, you can only know two professions at a time. If you currently have two professions, make sure you unlearn one of them.
There are a host of trainers available for inscription. The full list is as follows:
The most convenient location to level inscription from 1-350 in Classic Wrath of the Lich King is Shattrah City. Players will have easy access not just to trainers, but also their banks as well, as indicated in the image below.

Gathering the Necessary Herbs
The inscription profession uses herbs as a primary resource. Players mill the herbs into pigments, which they can then use to inscribe glyphs, scrolls, or other craftable items. You will need to make sure you have the proper amount of herbs as you level inscription up. The below table serves as a handy estimate that goes over how many herbs you will need. Use this table as an Inscription Leveling Guide to prepare your reserves!
You can buy some more at the auction house if you do not have enough herbs. In the event you have too many, you can always sell them for profit. Your mileage may vary in terms of how many herbs you need to obtain the appropriate amount of pigments. The table above lists the number of herbs I personally milled to successfully level up the inscription profession. Again, in the event you are over the needed amount of materials, you can sell them at the auction house. It’s better to have too much than not enough and overpay.
