TWW Inscription Leveling Guide 1-100 (The War Within) (2024)

This War Within Inscription leveling guide will walk you through the quickest and easiest way to level your Khaz Algar Inscription skill from 1 to 100.

Pairing Inscription with Herbalism is highly recommended, as it can save you a significant amount of gold by allowing you to gather the necessary herbs yourself. If you plan on leveling Herbalism, be sure to check out my Herbalism leveling guide.

1 - 20

Use Khaz Algar Milling in your profession spell book to mill these herbs:

Getting Some Profession Equipment

Since you'll be crafting a lot of inks in the next step, it's smart to buy the green profession equipment from the Auction House first. This might save you some gold with Multicraft and Resourcefulness procs. They aren't too expensive to make, and you'll eventually need them, so it makes sense to get them now. Don't invest too much in these at first; the prices will likely drop quickly. Start with a lower-quality version for now, and you can upgrade to a max-quality one later.

You can craft the Lightweight Scribe's Quill yourself once you reach 25, but you can probably buy a higher quality one from the Auction.

I'd recommend buying Lightweight Scribe's Quill with Resourcefulness or Multicraft. Both are useful but I'd get one with Resourcefulness since that's more useful once you start doing crafting orders, or you can just buy both and swap between them depending on what you are doing.

20 - 40

Distilled Algari Freshwater is sold by the Inscription supply vendor near your trainer. Use Shift+Left Click to buy more than one. You will need 1720x Distilled Algari Freshwater in total.

Craft these reagents in the same order as they are listed.

61x Apricate Ink - 305x Luredrop Pigment, 610x Nacreous Pigment
5x Shadow Ink - 25x Orbinid Pigment, 25x Blossom Pigment
20x Boundless Cipher - 100x Arathor's Spear, 40x Apricate Ink

You'll need all of these later to level Inscription, so be sure to keep them. You'll likely need more than what I've listed here, but it's better to buy the extras later when you actually need them. There are different recipes you can craft, and some might turn out to be cheaper.

If you didn't reach 40, just craft anything that gives skill points and can give you "First Craft Bonus".

Inscription Specializations

When you hit 25, you will unlock Inscription specializations. Be sure to learn Pursuit of Knowledge as your first specialization! This will teach you the Algari Treatise on Inscription recipe that you will use for leveling later.

You'll eventually be able to learn all four specializations, so there's no need to worry about your initial choice. You'll need 50 skill points to unlock the second specialization, 60 for the third and 75 for the fourth.

I suggest checking out my War Within Inscription Specialization Guide. It covers every specialization in detail, and I also include some example builds to help you get started.

As you craft the Algari Treatise on Inscription, you'll start discovering Treatises for other professions—if you haven't already. Both the Algari Treatise on Inscription and the other Treatises will continue to grant skill points all the way up to 100.

I recommend starting with the Treatise on Inscription until you discover the recipe for your second profession or something useful for your alts. Once you do, switch to crafting Treatises that you or your alts can actually use. Remember, Treatises are Bind on Pick Up, so don't make the mistake of crafting them and trying to mail them to your other characters. Instead, you'll need to send Personal Crafting Orders from your alts to this character. This process can be time-consuming since you have to do it one by one. Alternatively, you could start making Treatises for your other professions. I wouldn't suggest making all 60 from Inscription alone, as it would take over a year to use them all.

To reach level 100, you'll likely need to craft around 60 Treatises in total. The Treatise recipes will turn green for the last 10 points, so I can't give an exact number of how many you'll need to craft to finish leveling.

Alternative for the last few points

The last few point could be a bit slow if you are unlucky with the skill gains. So, if you have any of the weapon recipes unlocked from specializations, you can try completing a few crafting orders. I'd recommend stopping at 91, 94 or 97. Each weapon recipe give 3 skill points, so you would only have to complete 1-3 of them.

All of these recipes requires a Spark of Omen, a Bind on Pickup (BoP) crafting reagent that cannot be purchased from the Auction House. Since you can only obtain one Spark of Omen every two weeks, you should use the crafting order system to level with these recipes.

Item	Recipe Source
Vagabond's Careful Crutch	Specialization: Careful Carvings - Staves
Vagabond's Bounding Baton	Specialization: Careful Carvings - Staves (5)
Vagabond's Torch	Specialization: Careful Carvings - Torches

Once you get the recipes from specializations, you can start looking for Crafting Orders.

Public Orders

When you open the Crafting Orders tab, make sure to hit "Search" in the top left corner on the Public Orders tab, they won't load automatically. You probably won't see many crafting orders because players immediately complete them when they are posted.

Unfortunately, public crafting orders haven't gained much popularity among players in Dragonflight, and I don't expect this to change in The War Within. Many players prefer guild or personal crafting orders for better control over item quality and materials. The unpredictability of public orders deters players from using this system, resulting in very few available public orders.

To make matters worse, Public Orders are not cross-realm. You will only see orders from players on the same realm, so if you're on a low-population realm, there may be very few or no Public Orders available.

Patron Orders

Fortunately, the new Patron crafting orders make leveling a bit easier. You will frequently receive epic armor crafting orders, though you may not be able to complete some of them until you acquire more knowledge points.

These orders are player-specific, so other players can't complete them. Consider them like Personal Orders sent to you by NPCs. However, they are randomly generated, so it's not guaranteed that you will receive orders for recipes you can currently craft.

Personal Orders

To level up with Personal Orders, you need to advertise your services on the trade channel. Most players seeking personal orders want a guaranteed rank 5 item, so focus on promoting the recipes you can craft at that quality level.

Additionally, keep an eye on the trade channel in Dornogal to see if any players are looking for items you can craft.
