Hi everybody I'm back to the site after a long absence and what I'm posting it's going to be useful to many inscriptioners fighting for market share out there.
Intro
As you may know (or not) one of the best approach to the Inscription market is the following:
1) buy huge amounts of highest lvl Northrend herbs (Icethorn, Adder's Tongue, etc.)
2) mill them
3) craft the inks
4) sell the Snowfall Inks since on most servers they will cover almost entirely your herb costs or process them into Darkmoon Cards; it depends on server economies and I won't be talking about this since several guides do.
5) craft hundreds of different glyphs using addons to tremendously simplify and speed up the work, this will be my focus in this guide.
This kind of process is what made people like Kevmar and Gevlon gold capped (more than 200k gold!), but it requires that you are able to set up addons and type command line commands which can be quite difficult to do.
In this guide I assume that most of you will be confident with using Auctioneer but I case many of you aren't, I will expand the guide.
Addons
In order for this workflow to be effective we'll need several addons, you can get most of them on Curse.com - WoW Addons WAR Addons Gamer Blogs Forums
- Auctioneer this is our core addon, you should have it by now!
- QUICK AUCTIONS 3 cancels auctions you've been undercut and post new auctions faster than auctioneer, very useful
- BulkMail2 once properly setup will automatically send herbs from your banker to your inscriptioner and glyphs plus inks in the opposite direction
- BulkMailInbox2 automates mail reception, use postal if you prefer
- Altoholic this checks how many items (glyphs and inks in this case) your toons have on a same server
- lilsparky's workshop checks the current ah prices of goods and determines if it's worth crafting an item, very useful for every profession!
- lilsparky's clone of Skillet this is the trickest addons since it's a modified version of skillet, the version you'll find on curse won't work with the Glypher module of auctioneer, if you have it installed delete its saved variables before getting the lilsparky's skillet!
The Workflow Step By Step
work in progress, will update tonight (gmt+1 here) with several pics please be patient
