A Liitle Inscription with my Tea

One of the great benefits of having so many level 70's is that I have one of each profession. I am my own commune and rarely ever have to buy anything from the Auction House. When I heard about Inscription I knew I had to have one. I just happen to have two herbalism/Alchemists in my stables so I decided one of them would get to drop herbs and pick up inscription. Due to the fact that gathering herbs with a druid is stupid easy I decided my Palidan would be the lucky Inscriptionist and my druid gets to keep picking flowers. My husband and I were both lucky enough to get Beta Keys so we have been playing a bit to see how things will change. Today I decided I wanted to see what leveling Inscription is going to be like. I have already stockpiled a bunch of herbs to move thru leveling very quickly but I forgot to transfer them to my Pally before copying her to the beta. So I got to start from scratch. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that one short trip around Durotar gave me all the herbs I need to level to 85. Past 85 you will need to move on to the dreaded Barrens. If you exit the Crossroads on the west side and travel out to the mountains then follow the edge down to Razorfen and back up the other side you will have plenty herbs to get to 120+ in Inscription. I will suggest that you store up at least two stacks of every type of herb from low level thru outlands so you won't be competing with the hundreds of others trying to level Inscription at the same time. Any extras will most likely be able to be sold on AH for a nice profit.

I had one fun thing happen to me while gathering herbs today. I was collecting herbs in Stranglethorn Vale and decided I needed to go to a slightly lower level area and tried to use a Scroll of Recall to get back to a major city and ended up outside of town in Tarren Mill. Which just happpened to be a perfect area to get the herbs I needed. A second attempt to use the scroll landed me in Thunder Bluff. I guess these scrolls only work properly if you are level 40 and below.

What am I Drinking?
I am feeling a bit under-the-weather today so I decided I wanted a cup of my favorite comfort tea, Hojicha. I don't care if it is the flu or a hang-over this tea soothes my stomach and head better than all others. The best part maybe that I cannot make a mistake while brewing this tea and make it taste bad. You can brew it at any temp for any time period and still still tastes wonderful. What is Hojicha? It is Japanese tea made by roasting green tea. The flavor is very toasty and mellow. If you like green teas but would be willing to try something new I suggest giving this one a try.
