At the moment you can’t level inscription past 300. So revisit this guide and check if that changed ![]()

You mil 5 herbs to 2 - 3 pigments*.
Each herb tier gives different pigments:

Silvery Pigment: Golden Sansam / Dreamfoil / Mountain Silversage / Plaguebloom / Icecap
To level Inscription to 300 you’ll need the following ammount of herbs:

Actually this is a little behind in the times, at least when it gets to the 200 range. They added different glyphs between 175 to 200, and lowered the level at which swarm of flies will gain levels. I know that I noticed it went grey shortly after 185, so 175-200 is impossible on it. so to catch back up they are going to need to make more glyphs with violet pigments.
