By following the excellent El’s Inscription Guide, and hitting the Auction House with Auctioneer Advanced, I was able to acquire all the herbs I need for the jaunt from 1-100.

Invaluable to my plans was Tekkub‘s fantastic Panda add-on.

This tool allows me to launch a window displaying rows of pigments and the herbs each comes from. You can then click on an herb’s icon to mill that herb for pigments. It will also hook into Auctioneer Advanced to display market prices for each. This lets me see, at a glance, what herbs I should be shopping for to grind out all that milling for all the ink I’ll need, and then to get that milling done in a hurry.

The Glyphs and Minor Glyphs tabs do the same thing, showing pigments and the glyphs that can be crafted with each. When I have several to choose from for the grind from level X to level Y, that lets me gauge which will earn me the most money back from the AH later.

Finally, my crafting tool of choice is Skillet. It lets me queue up a list of tradeskills to perform, in order, displays quantities I can craft, levels, difficulty, and more. It even lets you make a shopping list for mats! See the gallery below for screenshots of Skillet.

By following the guide and using Panda and AucAdv, I was able to go from 1-100 in about an hour for a little over a hundred gold. While that’s pretty easily obtained with a main in the Outlands, I’ll still be farming at least half of the next batch to save some money for Wrath.
