WoW Inscription Guide 1-450
This WoW Inscription guide (updated for 3.2) will help you level your skill from 1-450 while trying to help you save gold and level up in the best way possible. If you find yourself running low on gold while doing this guide take a look at this Gold Guide for all the info you need to make tons of gold.
When you see "Your Pick" in the guide below that means that you should select any orange glyph to make or yellow if there are none that are orange to you anymore, as will be the case in a few instances. Make sure to train often so that you are making the best glyphs for you to level off of.

This is the final section of the guide. If you need help getting enough gold to finish off take a look at this gold making guide. However, I'd like to note that at this point Blizzard has made it so that there's really no benefit in leveling your Inscription all the way to 450, so, I only suggest that you level up with Northrend Research after 430 until this changes. Enjoy!

First time poster.
I don't think it actually matters that you're a first time poster, to be fair.
Anywho, I've used this guide and all in all, the levelling has been quite painless, so there is no real need to actually update them.
