Northrend Inscription Research is the big brother, so to speak, of Minor Inscription Research.

Minor Inscription Research allows you to discover all the Minor Glyphs that can be used. Conversally, Northrend Inscription Research allows you to discover high-level Glyphs.

Northrend Inscription Research becomes available at Inscription Skill level 385, becomes yellow at 425, green at 437 and grey at 450. Of course, at 450, you’re done.

It is useful in several ways. First, it’s a guaranteed skill up for most of the difficult part of the way to 450. Secondly, the laws of the marketplace dictate that the Glyphs you discover should sell for more, MUCH more on the Auction House than any Glyph that you learn to make from the trainer. This is profitable in several ways.

It will be profitable to you, since you can sell the Glyphs for more money, and it will be valuable to everyone else on the server, as other Inscriptors may not yet have discovered the same Glyphs as you, and you will be offering something that few others are.

Moreover, the Glyphs you learn to create using Northrend Incription Research will be ‘yellow’ when you discover them, meaning that they can be reliably used to level up your skill. You know as well as I do that when you get past 400 in any crafting skill, any opportunity to easily level your skill is welcome indeed.

The downside to that is that Northrend Inscription Research, exactly like Minor Inscription Research, is on a 20-hour cooldown, so you can only reliably do it once per day. The materials required are also pretty expensive. They are:

• (3) Ink of the Sea
• (1) Snowfall Ink
• (5) Resilient Parchment

Just the parchment are worth 2g50s!

But if you play you cards right and immediately create and sell even one of the Glyphs you have just discovered, you should be covered, in a monetary fashion anyways. Of course, you will still have to farm the herbs, but if you are lucky in getting the appropriate pigment for Snowfall Ink when milling them (requires (2) Icy Pigment) this should only be a minor inconvenience.
