Inscription REAGENT Build | War Within Gold Making

What’s up, Gaming Heroes, are you exploring Khaz Algar and wondering to yourself “How do I make money with Inscription?” Keep reading and take a look at what I feel is one of the best methods to making gold early on in the expansion, as well as a pretty efficient way to get materials for crafting your own Missives and Items!

Pursuit of Perfection – Gold Making

“Pursuit of Perfection” is a tree in Inscription that gives you flat +Skill bonuses when creating Inks and Crafting Materials for Inscription, including increased skill at Milling Herbs. But what does this do for you? Higher flat skill rate increases your chances of getting the best materials with lower quality materials. This will save you some concentration, since you won’t have to spend it to obtain higher quality Inks and Ciphers!

DO THIS FIRST – Leveling, Treasure & Journal

If you have not done so already, make sure you completed the War Within Campaign once on one character just so you have access to things like the Kej currency and other useful features of War Within.

1. Leveling Inscription
2. Inscription Treasures (Knowledge Points)
3. Inscription Journal (City of Threads)

1. Leveling Inscription

Leveling inscription is straight forward, you wont be able to get to level 100 right away so just do your best with crafts that you can. Focus on crafting anything with the “First CRAFT” bonus. This will reward to knowledge points and ultimately save you gold in the long run. Get your inscription to at least level 25 then move onto step 2. You can always level it up further as we go on with gold making.

3. Inscription Journal (10 Knowledge Points)

Players can make a one-time purchase of Knowledge Point Books with Kej in Azj’kahet. These books can be bought from Profession Suppliers inside the City of Threads, and each book rewards 10 Knowledge Points. The cost for each Profession Book is 565 Kej, the new faction-based currency for The Severed Threads.

Get the Inscription Journal from the location in the picture below, it will reward you with 10 highly valuable Inscription knowledge points.

You can transfer Kej across from other characters as long as your current character has at least 1 Kej in their currency tab. If you have non then pick up some treasures in Azj-Kahet until you get some.

Max Quality and Concentration

Before diving into how to spend your Knowledge Points, it’s crucial to understand the concept of Concentration, which allows you to craft an item at a quality one tier higher than your base skill would normally permit. The amount of Concentration required depends on the skill gap, with a minimum amount always needed; even if you’re only 1 skill point short, you’d still require about 150-300 Concentration to craft a max-rank item, depending on whether it’s gear or a consumable. Since Concentration regenerates at around 240 points daily, you’ll be limited to crafting 1-2 items per day at max quality until your build is fully optimized.

Inscription Equipment

For each crafting and gathering profession, there is one tool and two accessories slots. They’ll give you additional stats that will be much welcome and will make your profits go up per craft, get your crafting gear sorted. You can equip these by opening your profession journal (K).

Spending Knowledge Points

Here’s the recommended order for spending your points:

Pursuit of Perfection

Choose Pursuit of Perfect to increase your skill in crafting reagents. Apply all your points to this tree to drastically increase your skill.

Once you’ve applied all of your points into the Pursuit of Perfection, it’s time to choose one of the next three specializations. Only choose one because we will ignore the other 2 for the next few months. I (Erosium) chose Ciphers because I liked the idea of being an expert in Ciphers. Choose which specialization you want to be an expert in and then apply all your knowledge into that until it’s maxed out.

Pursuit of Knowledge

Inscription Gold Making with Reagents

At this point you must ensure you download the addon: CRAFTSIM. This addon will work out the mathematical chance of earning profit on items which will take into account your buffs and stats such as multicrafting. Once you’ve got this addon make sure you change the following setting to have the latest up to date prices.

Type /craftsim and press enter and then change the following settings to what I have below:

Once this setting has been changed to what I have shown in the picture you will always have the most up to date price of materials per hour. Bare in mind material prices can fluctutate minute to minute so just double check the price of materials if you’re worried about that.

Your profits on reagents should be looking like the picture below.

This means you’ll earn 88,750 gold per x 1000 crafts. If you continue this with multiple materials you will be raking the gold in. I sell mine in batches of 100 at a time rather than cancelling and reposting.

Good Luck, this will make you a lot of gold! The gaming hero team and I look forward to bringing you more gold guides like this! Check discord regularly to stay up to date with our latest projects.
