Stats Guide for Inscription in The War Within

All stats have their uses, but for Inscription we recommend focusing on Ingenuity and Resourcefulness to be able to craft higher quality gear at lower costs. For crafting Sigils, Contracts, Reagents, Missives, or Vantus runes focus on Multicraft, instead, with some Ingenuity mixed in for maximum profit from converting cheap Rank 2 materials into Rank 3 consumables with Concentration.

Keep in mind that once you are fully maxed with profession skill, gear, and talents, you will be able to produce maximum rank items when using Rank 3 materials naturally, without needing to use Concentration, so at that point you should either swap all of your Ingenuity gear to Resourcefulness or use lower rank materials plus Concentration, instead.

For more information on profession stats and gear, please refer to our dedicated guide below:

Scribes, like most other professions, can use three pieces of gear at once, 1 tool and 2 accessories. Blue-quality gear is best in slot.

Item	Type	Source
Lightweight Scribe's Quill	Tool	Inscription
Silver Tongue's Quill	Tool	Inscription
Right-Handed Magnifying Glass	Accessory	Jewelcrafting
Forger's Font Inspector	Accessory	Jewelcrafting
Storyteller's Glasses	Accessory	Jewelcrafting
Novelist's Specs	Accessory	Jewelcrafting

Quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require specialization, faction, or renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.

Remember to enchant your crafting tool with your choice of Enchant Tool - Algari Ingenuity or Enchant Tool - Algari Resourcefulness.

You can also use the Alchemy-crafted Phials Phial of Concentrated Ingenuity, Phial of Enhanced Ambidexterity, or Phial of Bountiful Seasons during the Winter part of the year to temporarily increase your crafting stats.

Finally, consider using optional reagents such as Mirror Powder and Concentration Concentrate on expensive crafts that can benefit from their one-time boosts, as these tend to be quite cheap, especially at low ranks!
