Cataclysm Glyphs, Heroic SFK and Deadmines

Cataclysm - Glyph Interface Preview
The new interface for Glyphs is finally available and it comes with a couple of very interesting improvements.

  • The biggest change, Glyphs are no longer a consumable item. You learn them and can swap them at any time after that, without having to buy them again.
  • Prime Glyphs slots have been added
  • All Glyphs are now listed, including the one you didn't learn yet.
  • You can search for Glyphs, and filter them.

Just can't figure out how there can be 4 Primes there, in two Prime and two Major slots. Have I missed something here? o.O
    Now that i look closer you are right, it`s rather confusing...you have some prime glyphs (according to the side filtering) in major AND prime slots

    The same way you have during the entire expansion. Vellum, Darkmoon decks, starter epics and the occasional glyph. Glyphs are a scribe's lowest income. I have no idea what you're all whining about.

    Yeah I noticed this right away. So another broken Blizzard System? Or maybe since its a mage maybe its broke anyway?

    Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep heroics at launch and almost all content is done and ready for testing, minus the four old world zones? A pleasant surprise if I do say so myself, one would have to wonder the change of heart on that, could it be they are in head of development and we might actually see it sooner than I expected? I guess we will find out.

    I think i would rather wait on heroic DM and SFK and get a quicker release date.

    Some people may be a little confused on this, but...

    Inscription requires a LOT of constant maintenance and supervision to make a profit over the auction house on a near populated server.
    You can't simply post your glyphs once a day and expect to make a profit.

    With the new feature of Cataclysm which allows Glyphs to be removed and re-applied at will, you will become a one time customer instead of a repeat customer. The chances of a casual Scribe (myself) making a profit on you just dwindled out the window since I can assume you're only coming to shop once. The person who constantly keeps their glyphs at the lowest price on the AH will make the profit, thus the one who spends the most time on the AH.

    At least with the current model, and with Jewelcrafting/etc, you have a chance to make a profit on the customer more than one time, since they constantly get new gear/respec.

    This change will really hurt profit margins on a Scribe.

    Did the developers simply not stop and think about the inscription profession when they implemented those changes to Glyphs?
    Granted i do not have a character with Inscription, I never saw it as profitable to begin with but with the upcoming changes It sounds to me that Inscription will be a throw away profession, use it to get the starter tomes/offhands and then drop it once you no longer need it. Allowing players to "learn" inscriptions is going to cuase the prices to skyrocket early in the expansions lifespan and drop off sharply as most people have all the inscriptions they need for thier class. I've yet to see any indication that the profession will be worth keeping beyond that point.

    Restless Blades - Your damaging finishing moves reduce the cooldown of your Adrenaline Rush, Killing Spree, and Sprint abilities by [1/2] sec per combo point.

    Mind you, I'm not complaining as less people having inscription: more business for me. But I make around 1000g with an investment of less than 50 gold with glyphs and Auction House addons. Make 1000g with an investment of 200 with JC (but to be fair it's a lot quicker). Darkmoon Cards currently have an almost even investment-return ratio (considering the chances of a Nobles Card vs a Prisms card). Vellums and starter epics I honestly never ventured into the market.
    But currently yes, mass marketing of Glyphs is one of the most remunerative markets.

    All these people complaining about inscription profits after these changes obviously haven't read about all the other additions to the profession. If anything your life will be easier because you won't have to monitor your auctions so much.

    Maybe it's different on your server... but on all 3 of the ones I've been on.
    Vellum sales: none or not even worth the cost vs herbs.
    Darkmoon Decks: Were okay for a bit, but the only people that buy them for the last year have been people working on insane. Also the randomness of the cards made profit way too low.
    Epics: Well free epics and badges removed this totally. Wasn't even worth it to DE it before either unless needed that one last shard for enchanting.
    Glyph: This is were the money was/is. Yes you have to log in every hour or so and check for undercuts (usally 3-4 different people on each server do this) But you make a lot more then any other source of income. I only posted twice yesterday and I made 1k. 1k in like 10 mins of work.

    JC is kinda the same way, the more you watch it, the more you'll make... but it's def making more money vs my inscription.

    Thanks for the glyphs. Is it just me or do most of the glyphs seem... unchanged.

    Exorcism, Holy Shock, Judgement, Seal of Insight, Beacon of Light, Cleansing, Consecration, Divinity, Focused Shield, Avenging Wrath, Hammer of Justice, Hammer of Wrath, Seal of Truth, Turn Evil, and every Minor Glyph seem very similar or the same to the Glyphs for these spells/their respective counterparts on live. I hope they do consider revising some, otherwise Paladins will probably be using a similar glyph set up as they are on live.

    Edit: Also, obviously Templar's Verdict is a placeholder value, but does it actually increase damage by that much in beta? Would be crazy if it did.

    Reclamation will be the new way for people with Inscription to make money.

    Good to hear we can rush into hc Deadmines .
  1. Spotnick's Avatar
    They could easily add extra value to Inscription by make craftable librams, sygils, totems and all the ranged items that are buyable with emblems right now.

    I know for a fact that even if I do have inscription, it was less of a hassle to buy the glyph in the AH than to make it myself on my scribe alt... so good riddance really.

    Obviously, scribes will make tons of money at the start with trinkets/new glyphs/etc... just like it was the case with WOTLK...

    So time to stack ink.

    Meh, probably not. Those early money makers you're talking about will probably use whatever the new ink is. Selling a level 80 off-hand made with Ink of Sea isn't likely to help you much, it's the new 85 off-hand made with Molten Ink (or whatever) that will give you a nice early boost in cash.
