It's always a good idea to keep some listed, but you'll sell glyphs and other ink-based products in much higher volume than you could ever sell the ink they're made of.Īll inks are obtained by Milling herbs.

Notice that I didn't say "the market value of three Blackfallow Inks"? That's because while the market value for raw inks is usually higher than the cost of the herbs that made it, it would plummet if you tried to sell all the inks you'll make as a serious glyph maker. Your price per glyph will never exceed the cost to make three Blackfallow Ink and might be lower on certain glyphs. If milling for Ink of the Sea is cheaper, do that. If trading down Blackfallow Ink is cheaper than milling Outland herbs for Ethereal Ink, then do that. In general, you want to mill the herbs that will allow you to complete your crafting queue with the least material investment possible. Glyphs that take Midnight Ink, for example, are going to be much less expensive to make by milling for it if Mageroyal is 20g a stack. The first and most important thing to know is that you can trade Blackfallow Ink for any of the mats for lower-level glyphs at the ink trader in your capital.ĭifferent glyph materials will lead to different levels of price on the AH. You have to know that you're getting the mats for your products as cheaply as possible - or at least as cheaply as the next guy. The demand for glyphs remains strong, and that means someone is making money.Īs with any profitable crafting endeavor, you should always start by looking at the mats. The vast majority of glyph demand, throughout Wrath of the Lich King, was not generated by elite raiders or PvPers keeping stacks of commonly used glyphs in their bags so they could micro-optimize, but rather from people leveling new characters. While glyphs are now firmly in the first category, honestly, they seemed as if they were there anyway. Items that are bought multiple times per character

Items that players will only buy once per character I split markets in WoW into two segments: Whereas players who wanted to change glyphs previously had to buy a new one to overwrite an existing one, they could now use Dust of Disappearance to overwrite their glyphs with any of their learned glyphs. When Cataclysm launched, it came with a design change for the glyph system. Email Basil with your questions, comments, or hate mail!
