As you can see from the screenshot below my crafting queue requires 9 ink of the sea and 15 Blackfallow inks and I can just shift right click the desired inks and type in the amount I want. It may not be the trader, but either way you will have the amount of the various you inks easy at hand. TSM will then add all the items you need to your task list and suggest the cheapest source. Choose the character and profession you want to restock. The next step is to open TSM gathering on the top right of your crafting pane. Then pick your glyph group and click “Restock selected groups” to fill your crafting queue. Once you are ready to restock you open your crafting window and go to the group view.
Glyphs is the main market in the game where a crafting operation is pretty much essential as trying to mentally keep track of which glyphs you are running low on and what inks you need is way too much work.īelow is a screenshot of my crafting operation for glyphs that will restock up to 20 of each. If you are using the trader for inks for glyph crafting I highly recommend using a crafting operation and TSM gathering to quickly buy the inks you need. Using TSM gathering and the crafting queue This is a fairly small market though, and I expect that you will sell fairly few inks, but it can be a nice way to generate some extra gold. You can potentially also use the trader to make gold from selling the lower level inks. Secondary potential use case: selling the low level inks Cancel scans will bring up your sales number, but it may not necessarily be worth your time. I’ve had decent success reposting once a day when I was active in the market, and profit margins are quite good. Glyphs generally sell fairly steadily at a low rate. The main recipes that use the various low level inks are glyphs. They are located by the respective cities inscription trainer. Horde players can Find Sinzi Sparkscribe in Orgrimmar and Alliance players can find Sarana Damir in Stormwind. It can also make sense if you want to save time as just buying up a ton of roseate pigment and then using TSM gathering will save you a lot of time. This is of course mainly useful for scribes that want to minimize their crafting cost, in cases where roseate pigment, or the Legion herbs is cheaper than the old world inks, the pigments or the herbs you need to mill.
There are actually several ink traders in the game and they will all allow you to trade roseate pigment for old inks. Today I will talk about the ink trader and the opportunities provided by it.
