Milling and Pigments

 Luminous Pigment, Umbral Pigment, and Tranquil Pigment come from milling any herb from Shadowlands.

You can find the Milling ability in your spellbook's profession tab. (you can drag it to your action bar)

Leveling Shadowlands Inscription

Nightborne characters have +15 Inscription skill because of their passive Ancient History, and Kul Tiran characters have +5 from the trait Jack of All Trades. Any extra Inscription skill means recipes stay orange for more points. You can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for more points.

You can buy Virtuoso Inking Set, Aerated Water, Dark Parchment, and Rune Etched Vial from Distributor Au'sha the Inscription supply vendor near your trainer.

1 - 25

Mill around 200 from any Shadowlands herb then turn all your pigments into Luminous Ink and Umbral Ink inks until you reach 25.

25 - 30

10 x Writ of Grave Robbing - 10 Luminous Ink, 10 Umbral Ink

You can also make 5 Tome of the Still Mind. It costs 3 times as much, but it's much more useful.

30 - 60

Use the Mass Mill spell in your spellbook and mill around 700 from any of these herbs:

• Death Blossom
• Marrowroot
• Rising Glory
• Vigil's Torch
• Widowbloom

60 - 75

Check how many Tranquil Pigment you got from milling, and mill more Nightshade until you have around 25 Tranquil Pigment

Turn all your Tranquil Pigment into Tranquil Ink.

75 - 86

Make Missives until you reach 86. They all require different amounts of Luminous Ink and Umbral Ink, so make sure you are not making all from one kind.

• Missive of Critical Strike
• Missive of Versatility
• Missive of Haste
• Missive of Mastery

86 - 100

Darkmoon Card of Death will create a random Darkmoon Card from one of the four Darkmoon decks, and sometimes you will also get a blank card that can be used to craft a card from a specific deck.

Since getting a blank card is random, it will depend on your luck how many Darkmoon Card of Death you have to make. I recommend making around 10 Cards first, then use the Blank cards to gain more skill points, and then make more Darkmoon Card of Death until you reach 100.

10 x Darkmoon Card of Death - 70 Luminous Ink, 70 Umbral Ink, 10 Tranquil Ink, 10 Dark Parchment

Blank Cards

• Darkmoon Card of the Indomitable - 1 x Blank Card of the Indomitable, 1 x Tranquil Ink
• Darkmoon Card of Putrescence - 1 x Blank Card of Putresence, 1 x Tranquil Ink
• Darkmoon Card of Voracity - 1 x Blank Card of Voracity, 1 x Tranquil Ink
• Darkmoon Card of Repose - 1 x Blank Card of Repose, 1 x Tranquil Ink
