Total Materials Required[]

  • Note this is an estimated amount of materials required, more or less may be actually used, this list will also only take you to about skill level 430.

14x Inv inscription inkwhite03 [Ivory Ink] 22x Inv inscription inkwhite02 [Moonglow Ink] 25x Inv inscription inkblack01 [Midnight Ink] 90x Inv inscription inkyellow02 [Lion's Ink] 85x Inv inscription inkgreen03 [Jadefire Ink] 65x Inv inscription inkpurple03 [Celestial Ink] 45x Inv inscription inksilver01 [Shimmering Ink] 60x Inv inscription inkblack02 [Ethereal Ink] 100x Inv inscription inkpurple01 [Ink of the Sea]

  • In order to save money on some servers, it is possible to have a 350+ inscriber mill northrend herbs to create Inv inscription inkpurple01 [Ink of the Sea],

which can be traded into all the lower level inks shown above. This is done by the NPC Jessica Sellers in Dalaran with a ratio of 1:1. She also trades for snowfall ink, which is required for inscription research, but it will cost 10 inks of the sea so doing this is usually not advisable.

The prices vary from server to server, but usually the cheapest herbs available to be used as milling fodder are:

  • Peacebloom or Silverleaf for ivory and moonglow inks.
  • Mageroyal for midnight ink, altho some servers have very cheap Swiftthistle while in others is very expensive.
  • Grave Moss or Kingsblood for lion's ink.
  • Goldthorn and sometimes Fadeleaf for jadefire ink, this is probably the ink that comes from the most expensive variety of herbs due to their high demand from other professions and sometimes their scarcity.
  • Sungrass for celestial ink, Gromsblood can be cost viable but it's often not.
  • Sorrowmoss is somewhat more common than other herbs for shimmering ink, but you might have a rough time here as well.
  • Felweed and Dreaming Glory are usually abundant and cheap for ethereal ink.
  • Goldclover or Deadnettle are quite common and shouldn't be hard to find for ink of the sea and snowy ink.
