Inscription - The Glyphs begin to flow

There has been plenty of information from beta testing flying around of the last few weeks but for me none has been as interesting as the details on the new profession, Inscription. Sure people are getting new talents and abilities and I’m watching that but I have always found professions to be one of the most interesting and entertaining aspects of the game.

Inscribing seems to be shaping up to be a pretty stunning profession. Along with some basic entry level items including the Scroll of Recall which allows you to hearth every 15 minutes, some of the Glyphs are showing up on Wowhead. As previously mentioned there are three types of glyphs, and a mixture are appearing for Paladins, Priests, Druids, Shaman and Mages. At last count I saw over a hundred with a few over laps. Sadly they do not yet have their own section but I have been able to find them with a key word search.

Discussion is emerging about the pros and con of certain Glyphs with many being written off as next to useless and some seen as over powered. A good amount of testing will hopefully iron out these bugs and yield a fair and balanced system.

Two fun ones are Glyph of the Red Lynx and White Bear to give druids a little variety.
