As stated by Blizzard: This will drop of northrend mobs and randomly teach one of the new glyphs introduced in 3.1. We can assume that it will work the same way the emotion food recipes and the heavy frostweave banadage manual work - only people who are of a certain inscription skill will see the item drop.

Kommentar von 11529

Actually, seeing as it's unbinding and rare, it's likely that it will be a world drop, kind of like the Jewelcrafting Designs that were added after release (except for a few specific ones).

Kommentar von 169538

Added around 50 new glyph recipes. These new recipes can be obtained from Books of Glyph Mastery found as world drops on Northrend monsters. Reading a Book of Glyph Mastery randomly discovers one of the newly-added recipes.

Can anyone confirm if this will drop if you're not on an inscriber? I want to know if I have to farm it on that char or if I can do it on another that's better suited to the task.

Kommentar von dandenoth

These aren't really something you can "farm" for, these are WORLD drops from Northrend, meaning all the mobs there have a chance to drop one, whether in an instance or outside of one. I have personally seen this drop twice so far, once while doing a group quest in Icecrown off the Jotunheim mobs, and once off some trash in a Heroic UP run.

If you really want more information about these, please download and use the Wowhead Client. The more people that do, the more information we can find here, and the more accurate it will be.

Kommentar von NightmareMJ

as of 3.1 live, this is now an uncommon quality item instead of rare, drop rate is ~ the same as a lock box(may replace lockboxes on loot tables on drop, unknown).

Kommentar von Seiru

While attempting to farm for this, I found after a couple hundred mobs, but still no books.

I consider this a bad sign.

Kommentar von Latus

Seems to me the general pattern is that it can drop off the same mobs the the Heavy Frostweave Bandage recipie can drop off of. not confirmed but that seems to be the pattern so far.

Kommentar von 143020

These are proving to be about as farmable as damaged necklaces are for Jewelcrafters.

Kommentar von 351062

I received my first one from the spirits for the Blowing hodirs horn quest in stormpeaks

Kommentar von 254845

I got one of these out of a Titanium Lockbox that dropped in Heroic Gun'Drak before the patch. Didn't get a rogue to open it until yesterday. I immediately advertised it in Trade chat and had 6 offers. Sold it for 1200G. The guy that bought it got Glyph of Explosive Shot. Hope I find more of these.

Summary to date:

(This information was gathered from wowhead, Allakhazam and Thottbot comments.)
1. There are a total of 58 different glyphs that can be discovered through this item. (I'm not going to link them all.)
2. It is BoE
3. It can drop from Northrend Lockboxes
4. Noted locations of discovery:

- Storm Peaks (Hodir Quest Mobs and Jourmangar Worm)
- Ulduar Trash Mobs
- Northrend Instance Trash
- Wintergrasp (Quest Mobs)
- Grizzly Hills (Rune Weavers, two drops for the same person)

5. Percieved poor locations for farming (not a guarantee of failure. just educated guesses)

- Icecrown
- Borean Tundra
- Howling Fjord

NOTE: This is all preliminary data. By downloading and using the Wowhead Updater tool you can help discover better locations for farming should there happen to be any. Good Luck!

Guildmate got it from a Froststeel Lockbox in ulduar last night as well.

Kommentar von 299743

* These are random Northrend drops, including Northrend instances/raids and lockboxes. Though there appears to have a level requirement on the mob for them to drop since no one has reported them dropping from Howling Forjd or Borean Tundra yet. Possibly a level 75+ mob requirement , and may even have a higher drop rate in heroics and raids.
* They started off as having the drop rate of epics, but the drop rate as since been increased (blue post)
* They are Uncommon (green) quality, not Rare (blue) as it states on wowhead currently (EDIT: Looks like wowhead has updated this)
* They are BOE, can be traded/sold on the ah and will drop for non-scribes
* Can only be used by scribes with 425+ inscription level and the glyph they will learn is a random, from the ones added in patch 3.1
* Can be placed in Inscription bags.
* Unlike inscription research, there is no cooldown to these books- you can learn as many as you want per day.

For a full list of glyphs this may teach, visit this link (click on the inscription tab): http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=856

The cost of these varies according to server, but I've seen them from sold from 1000g to 5000g on mine. The glyphs these teach are very attractive and the actual glyphs are going for 100g to 3000g on the AH. Prices will definitely drop as more scribes learn these recipes and start undercutting.
EDIT: They're selling for 500g-1000g on my server now, even though the patch has only been out for a day. Either the drop rate has been upped significantly (see point 2), or they weren't as rare as first thought.

Found one in a Titanium Lockbox

Kommentar von 37633

The only real way to farm this is to pick a spot and kill everything in sight, rinse and repeat. I would suggest picking a type of mob that drops cloth or a type of meat that is worth farming on your server. This way you are doing something with the hours you'll spend killing.

Kommentar von Pwuebear

I have been farming mobs in the Icecrown Glacier (packs of Converted Heroes and Scourge Banner-Bearers) for half a day or so. Picked up several stacks of cloth, loads of vendor fodder, runic health and mana potions, greens and one blue item, two jewelcrafting necklaces (damaged ones), and a single Book of Glyph Mastery.

Running as a feral and packed with a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth I find myself pulling 8-10 mobs almost all the time and making a decent amount of cash as I go along. Not quite sure if I am just horribly jinxed on the drops (experience tells me that I am) so thus far I would call this a good place to grind a pretty penny but pretty poor on books.

Personally, I would rather see these drop off dungeon bosses or the likes.

Kommentar von 166193

I got this while doing my Frenzyheart dailies in Sholazar. I was killing the Ogre's near The Suntouched Pillar. This data is merely to enforce the idea that it is dropping in this zone as well as from mobs that aren't the highest level.

also been there for quite some time with no luck. Seems it is indeed really random.

Kommentar von Helore

Dropped off of a Sludge Belcher in 10-man Naxx for me today.

Kommentar von 196767

If I haven't completed discovering all of the glyphs through Inscription Research will this book have a chance to discover one of the pre 3.1 glyphs or does the book only discover the 3.1 glyphs? I'm trying to decide if I should hold onto the book, if I find one, until I've completed all the pre 3.1 discoveries

I can answer at that, my brother bought 4 books and never used Northrend Inscription Research, he got 2 new glyphs and 2 old glyphs(pre 3.1) so before using the books you might want to have all the old glyphs.

Kommentar von Azmodanrom

now it sells for 3000-5000g on some servers.

the price will do down, but not fast, and not too low

Kommentar von 228172

World drop it is.

Farming a place for a day, and getting 2, then farming another place for 5 days and getting none doesn't mean previous place is the best place to get them.

It's green, means, every mob that drops a green quality item could have dropped this. No need to farm here and there, if you want to farm those, just kill everything you see.

Kommentar von 352675

Item found from Dwarves inside a cave in the northwestern region of Storm peaks.
Sold for 3500g in the Auction house. Frostwolf Server.

Kommentar von 352744

I had on from a trash mob in naxx pug yesterday. Was very surprised to get an offer of 1000 g for it from another player. IF he didnt tell me that i probably would have given it for free :).

Kommentar von 336806

I got it and sold for 3000gold in my server. If you get one, its like you wont the lottery :) Got it in Stormpeaks, killing giants for the hodir dailies.

Kommentar von 109737

Just speculation, but seeing as how mobs in instances seem to have a higher drop rate on uncommon quality items, the best chance of finding one of these might be to farm an easy northrend instance. The question is, whether to farm level 80, mid-level, or starting instances.

Kommentar von Bjoolz

I have farmed for these in Ymirheim (Icecrown) simply because there are a lot of mobs there with fair respawn time and I had the entire place almost to myself. After two and a half hour of farming there and maybe 450-500 mobs killed, I got 3 of these books. I know its not any higher droprate from these mobs then any other mobs, but if you are going to farm for a world drop its a good place to do it.

PS: After more farming and some more books I would say the droprate is about 0.1-0.2%. Ofc this is just from my experience and its hard to tell since I might just have been really lucky.

Kommentar von 287531

Had one Drop in Ice Crown from a Scourgebeak FleshRipper

Kommentar von NemoUtopia

Keep in mind, the price is artificially high right now as these have just been introduced. They are the ONLY way to learn the newly introduced glyphs, so every inscriber is after them. Because of their uncommon quality and specific nature , it will take a while for the price to truly stabilize on any server. That said, I would not expect the price of these to drop to 'average green' levels in the foreseeable, immediate future.

: As an example, on Moonguard the price of these has radically dropped already, but isn't 'low'. Upon release it wasn't uncommon to see people asking thousands (like 5000) gold PER. Now the price has stabilized to a certain point where the books are consistently on the AH for ~400g and you may be able to pick them up with in person sales/trades for anywhere from 250-600g depending on who you're talking to.

Kommentar von 178057

If your not an Inscriptor and you find one of these in your backpack, sell it on the AH for quite a bit of profit.
On my server the sell at a range of 2000g to 5000g.

Kommentar von Razu

Found one today while doing Polishing the Helm.
Shortly afterward a guildmate was farming relics in The Forlorn Mine, two of them dropped within 5 minutes of each other

Edit: Selling for about 2-2.5k gold on Deathwing.

Kommentar von Solis

I am an inscriptor and found one of these in the Storm Peaks. I decided that 2k gold was more valuable than learning a new glyph. The new glyph I could make would not be worth 2k gold. Even if I could sell enough of these glyphs to equal 2k gold, I wouldn't I want to invest the time trying to do so. The cost of these books is going to come down significantly in the weeks to come. People will catch on and they will not be a “must have now, at any cost!” item anymore. I can wait.

Kommentar von 223121

I think my friend discovered an additional source of these earlier - they can infact drop from the Tiny Titanium Lockboxes that rarely rewarded from the new 3.1 Fishing Daily quests from Marcia Chase.

Kommentar von 324927

I didn't have the WoWhead Client installed at the time of my getting this drop, but it DID drop from a Spitting Cobra in Heroic Gun'Drak today.

Kommentar von Gaghiel

A mate of mine had it drop from a "Frostpaw Warrior" in Grizzly Hills while questing there.

Not to be merely another "LOL IT DROPPED IN ZONE X", the collected information here leads me to believe it might function the same as the Damaged Necklace, Jewelcrafting item, only dropping in zones other than Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord and Wintergrasp.

Doing guild run of Ulduar 10 man and one of these dropped from the trash mobs before Freya, there was a bit of comotion about what happensto it, either give it me as i'm the only scribe, or sell it on the AH, after a while i got it and used it and got a crappy mage one to do with Deep Freeze and i haven't sold a single one yet, so be carefull if your going to pay "x ammount" for this, just know the risk :)

Slightly off topic, but... The trash before Freya also dropped us 2 epics and a a few blues, strange :)

I'm really starting to %^&* off. People think that they can sell a book for 1500g and they expect you to make its glyph for 5g.

Kommentar von 255672

Grats to blizz on the worst possible implementation of new glyphs. On my server a few individuals have successfully monopolized the 3.1 glyph market by buying out all the books and selling the glyphs for 200-500g each.

The book prices were going for 2-3k+ after the patch, they have dropped down quite a bit now, however this is just allowing the monopolists to acquire the rest of their recipes even faster. No one wants to buy the books, because either (A.) they will get a useless glyph recipe, or (B.) They will get a good recipe, but will never sell any because the gold farmers (AH bots?) sit at the AH the entire day and literally undercut your auction in a matter of seconds. I sat at the AH undercutting one of these people, and he would have me undercut AGAIN by the time I would refresh the listing. And I have not seen him offline once.... GG blizz. Way to feed it to the china farmers.

Dropped of a scourge in Icecrown for me... 2nd kill or so.

Kommentar von 321900

I read these posts, and people saying what mob drops it... but we already know it drops from that mob! It's a Northrend-wide drop! It's not needed to post anything like that, only if it has any special info!

And it's scribe, not 'inscriptor' or something like that.

Don't know how much the drop chance is now, but I already saw a lot of 'em before the hotfix...

Kommentar von 304330

When u have learned all new glyphs from the books, u get a message something like "You have already discovered all glyphs from this book..", dont remember but u dont destroy the book trying and u dont lose anything. Just a message.

Kommentar von 340332

Just want to have a bit of a winge really:

Would it not be safe to assume that as these books are proffession specific, the only people who actually 'need' them are inscriptors? I have lost a number of these in groups as everybody rolls on them because of their percieved value. I have even been accused of being a ninja when I asked a group if I could need on one! Surely, in any group, an inscriptor should get first refusal of the item? Needing an item just because it is valuable is totally unfair - how #$%^ed off would say a Pala be if I needed on his epic plate drop because I can DE it and sell the abyss crystall for 100g on the AH? Or any piece of epic armour/weaponry for that matter. The item is for inscriptors only and as such should only be needed on by inscriptors. Why should we have to pay someone 400g for a book in the vain hope that the glyph we get will be rare enough to make some money on the AH, when we are the only people who should have them in the first place?

With any luck the market will soon drop out when everyone starts undercutting eachother on the AH and realises that the book isnt worth buying at 400g odd.

If you need gold THAT bad go and grind some quests or farm Stratholme for a couple of hours like the rest of us! Stop ninjaing OUR items!

So it does appear to be a random world drop.

You can get this off of any mob in Northrend and the Culling of Stratholme. Sells for one or two hundred gold depending on your server and competition.

Kommentar von 431907

Hey guy's, i've just read the comments above and it seems that 1. the book sells for quite alot, i think i heard a 4200g price up in the comments 2. It's got a 0.01 or less drop rate 3. you can't farm it.

Well then this is the weird part, i started playing my warrior again and decided to go prot, iwas tanking H UP and one of the books dropped and i thought nothing of it and i wun the roll while the group /cry Q_Q, i haven't sold it yet but i will, but then something even more weird happened, while doing a daily in IceCrown ANOTHER book dropped =) if you don't beleive me then make a horde toon on barthlias pst vodkawhiskey i'll come to you and trade with you that's if i haven't sold them yet.

Btw i know prices are different on every server but how much would it normally sell for and if you don't know would it atleast be over 1k or above 2k and under 3k etc =)

Kommentar von 435814

Hmm i recently made a rogue and took inscription. I never had grasped how many books you actually need to learn all the glyphs (or to learn at least the 5 best-selling ones from those 50). i've had crazy luck on drops until now , i got 5 the same day while questing in icecrown on my priest (funny thing is i was questing for money). Got one from an elite (think it was Pustulent Colossus , had to kill 5 for a q - i do not say u can farm them i just happen to remember the mob who dropped it) and in the next 5mins (god bless epic flyer) i got one off a cultist just outside Icecrown Citadel (court of bones i think).

In the next couple of hours i managed to get another 3 off totally random mobs (yes yes i do know what a world drop is). I've also seen quite a few drop in raids / heroics , but none of the drop in a 78> zone , from a not-80 mob (might be possible tho). As for the price it seems it's going for 150-170g in the AH in my server with at least 30 in there at any given time & about 110-120g on trade from ppl who want to make fast sells or sympathize the poor scribe who has to pay that x 50 (although it's not hard to make money as one , my level 13 rogue with a skill of 105 had made about 120g from the glyphs i made to lvl -.- , just like jc - expensive patterns yet the gems from them go for 60-80g in my server , so i don't really know why they're whining - good investment?).

Kommentar von Eirwen

As of Patch 3.3, the average AH price for these is 60g - 125g.

No much anymore 15g I've seen on my server, 30-40g on others at the MOST.

Kommentar von 465890

If I want to lvl 1-450 and learn all glyphs in 1 day, can I?

Below are questions, not answers. But if you provide the correct answers, this post and thus yours will be come valuable.

Talking about having all mats, and all Book of Glyph Mastery needed at hand. If I have understood correct, I dont need to do the 2 daily researches for XX days, if I have enough books, to learn all glyphs in 1 day?

If I do 1 of each research, then the rest with Book of Glyph Mastery, will Book of Glyph Mastery only/most likely proc only the "56 new" glyphs? Or will the book stop giving glyphs after "the 56 new ones" have been learned, and one has to do the 2 researches every day to learn all?

How many glyphs can one learn at the trainer? (Glyphs from trainer (T) ) + (Researched ones (R) ) + ( The "new 56" from Book of Glyph Mastery (N) )

or

(T) + (R) +( N) = how many?

Book of Glyph Mastery are at 7-40g on my server, ca 10g is most common so this is a profession I am concidering for an alt. Glyphs sell so good that the costs of Book of Glyph Mastery, inks used for this possible power lvling will be earned back within weeks.

Read and Write lots, Profit little.
Truly representative of the IRL Scribe profession; Blizzard did an amazing job with this one.

Just bought 48 from the AH; they were actually cheap. Kids this days don't give books the value they deserve, sigh.

Kommentar von Pogmahon

As a scribe, I always need these items.

"Need" means that you really need the item to better your toon.

Although acquiring gold can be argued to improve your toon, there are hundred of other ways to do that. It should not qualify as a "Need" event. Rolling on something to make a profit defines "Greed" which is what people who are not Scribes should do.

When ever I win one on a Need roll, I use it there on the spot. So all will see that I have learned a new Glyph.

Just like BOE items in raids; most raid leaders insist that you equip it.

Same principal applies.

Kommentar von 305357

Most experienced players in small groups subscribe to a very simple rule to determine need rolls. A need roll is justified if, and only if, you will use, consume or equip the item immediately upon winning it. Anything else is greed. If you roll need and don't immediately use, consume or equip the item, you just ninja'd it.

Just a hint for Patch 4.0.1 - Keep ONE Book of Glyph Mastery around if you have them all learned, there is one new glyph coming via Books of Glyph Mastery:

Glyph of Colossus Smash

Just learned it on the PTR via a Book. It's a level 81 Warrior glyph, so it won't sell well since nobody can use it, but I imagine it will be useful at 85.

Kommentar von astariaxv

Glyph of Colossus Smash is the only new glyph in 4.0.1 that you learn via these.

Kommentar von Clausi

You can already learn Glyph of Colossus Smash with this book in Patch 4.0.1 (it is for lvl 81).
I think I already knew all of the glyphs, this one was the only one to learn in patch 4.0.1 with the book and Glyph of Living Bomb with Northrend Inscription Research.

Kommentar von artog

Worth noting that after 4.0.1 this also teaches Glyph of Colossus Smash

Kommentar von 695600

If you are attempting to farm this outside of an instance, WoWhead currently lists the following drops rates for two different zones. Icecrown and The Storm Peaks.

Saronite Shaper 1.8%
Pustulent Colossus 1.4%
Stormcrest Eagle 0.8%
Baelok from The Rider of Blood quest. 0.7%
FrostBrood Matriarch 0.3%

I spent exactly one hour killing the Saronite Shaper which appears to be on a 2 minute spawn timer for a total of 30 kills. I had better luck farming the Enchanting recipes with a lower drop rate in Icecrown than I did here. If you need these, DO NOT go trying to farm them as you will not be happy with time involved vs the auction house method.

My efforts weren't totally in vain though, I did walk away with:

Gold Drop: 18 Gold 43 Silver 19 Copper
Vendor Trash Sell: 43 Gold 64 Silver 0 Copper
Frostweave Cloth X 26: 3 Gold 25 Silver 0 Copper (using vendor price as AH price fluctuates by server.
Repair Costs: 7 Gold 57 Silver 53 Copper (on a level 80 Mage)

A net profit of 57 Gold 74 Silver 66 Copper. Not a very good profit when you can be doing Argent Tournament dailies making more gold in the same amount of time if not less, plus getting all the miscellaneous vendor trash from mobs along the way.

Short Version: Don't farm these, just buy them off the auction house, you will save time, money, and many long boring hours.

Kommentar von 527570

does anyone know if these will work in Cataclysm?
for all the new recipes it looks like they are all trained (from Wowhead database)

Kommentar von bigwhey

I need to decide what to do with my glyph mastery books before Cata drops. Anyone know if they will work for the new Cata glyphs?

Kommentar von Thander

This book is still required for new scribes who have not obtained the 55 glyphs it teaches. There is no other way to get those glyphs. ~~This item will also drop in Cataclysm content, so people don't have to farm old Wrath content.~~ After playing with Cataclysm a little bit, these books are no longer Cataclysm world drops. (they were in beta)

Good luck finishing up your grind. So far I have seen them for around 500g each on my server due to the rarity, but occasionally someone will list one a lot lower finding one while leveling through Northrend and wanting to sell it fast. Keep an eye out, and farm lots of gold. I still need around 20 books to finish my scribe's glyphs.

Kommentar von Scifi42

Do these drop in cata dungeos at all ? I still miss some stuff and I am 85 allready.

Kommentar von 465890

To sum up my droprate experiences on this item: LOW.

Seen maybe 1-2 a week of clearing ICC 10/25(one could once do both versions), seen 1 drop from a random mob the entire WoLK/Northrend. And yes, I have played alot :)

In the start when I lvl'd Inscription, the drop was no better.

With Cata release, I have not seen 1 drop, not in Cata content and not in WoLK/Northrend(not been much in Northrend, but still).

So how are new players going to lvl Inscription and get these 56-60 glyphs from the books?

Enless farming on lowdroprates in Northrend, or off AH.

For each expansion old items become more rare, mainly(only?) due to players are no longer in those areas. So, this item will, and might even now be, a goldmine. That is if you have a stash of them.

Those who have stacks of these in GB's, don't sell them for less than 300-1000gold each atm is my advice.

Even if Inscription is a semi-pointless profession for a main(well, can a licence to print gold be poitnless?) someone will want to choose this profession, maybe on an alt and will want these books to get 100% complete.

You know, completionists :)

"All" this profession gives is a nifty shoulder enchant(and tons of gold), but you are better off going Engineering/Enchanting for max DPS, as engineering 'chants stack with other enchants.

Blizzard will have to at some point either decide this is no longer a profession for players and it becomes a rep thing/vendor thing where you can buy your glyphs(= best goldsink in game) or all 56-60 glyphs learned from the books can be learned in a different, more easy way?

So, if you are selling, don't wait too long to cash in on them, and if you plan on getting Inscriprion as a profession, 100g and under for these books are atm a steal, as selling glyphs for upto 250g each is a daily occurrence.

Edit's for poor typing

Short Version: Don't farm these, just buy them off the auction house, you will save time, money, and many long boring hours.

Would if I could. I check every day, but haven't seen one for sale for a couple weeks now.

Unsurprising, since people just level through Northrend on their way to Cataclysm content now. I leveled six characters 68-80 and only saw two drops of this item doing it. With no one hanging out in Northrend anymore, just leveling through to Cata stuff, until these start dropping from Cata content, or dropping much more frequently in Northrend, it's just not possible to learn most of these glyphs now. If you didn't get your scribe leveled up and all the recipes before Cata, you're just screwed now. No way to do it anymore. Buying every book you can on the AH, if it doesn't bankrupt you (and it won't, given that even if they're selling for 400g, that's only about 400g every couple weeks you'll be spending, as they don't get posted more often than that), it'll still be well into whatever the next expansion after Cataclysm is before you learn all the glyphs (and if there's any particular one you're wanting to learn, it will, of course, be one of the very last the RNG gives you).

Im in the same boat wondering how to learn these WOTLK glyphs from the books. my scribe was my 2nd level 80 in wrath, and even though i spent a year playing in wrath, i still only managed to get maybe 30/54 books to learn the recipes.. So now that leaves me 24 glyphs or so, that i cannot make ever ... will never be able to learn them.. ever.. . because no one does anything in northrend anymore besides alts power levelling to get to 78 to do cata stuff.

I think glyph mastery books should be for sale.. charge a quantity of rare northrend ink (snowfall ink) for one book.....That way we scribes can still learn the recipes. We could just go farm some northrend herbs for a little while, make/trade snowfall ink and get the glyph books.

Dropped today from Crown Technician (lvl83) Love fool quest mob in Uldum, think this means WHAT I THINK IT MEANS!

Kommentar von Juggie

These drop quite often from treasure chests located in high level Northrend zones such as Icecrown, Storm Peaks and Sholazar Basin. I usually check all the spawn locations marked by GatherMate2 addon daily and usually get 1-3 per run.
Hope this helps anyone trying to farm these.

Kommentar von Appren

Time to remove these glyphs from this tome, or seeeriously increase the drop rate, these things are just horrible to get hold of.

Kommentar von 110873

Gosh I wish they would make it possible to learn these through a daily or some other means... the books are super expensive still and leaves a lot of glyphs unaccounted for.

Kommentar von moopert

They should make them drop in cataclysm zones, not like a huge number of people are killing a high quantity of things in northrend anymore

Kommentar von cyberdreck

Are they worth more than 100G still? I tried to get a few but i guess its my server i wouldn't pay more.

Kommentar von 562685

Seems to have a ~1% droprate from Converted Heroes in Icecrown, I've been farming them for cloth for some time and gotten 12 books from about 1300 kills.

Not much, but probably the best spot if you want/need to farm these.

Kommentar von 833592

I found mine in a treasure chest sitting in the middle of the jungle in Scholazar.

Kommentar von LazyRiver

They drop in Northrend dungeons now and again. Both heroic and regular. Put it on AH for 125. (I'm sometimes kind that way...lol) Sold like lightning.

The other two sellers were asking for a thou apiece. Have no idea of the average price though.

Kommentar von 166807

As of 4.2 all glyphs learned from the books will be discovered through research too.
The books will just speed up the process, instead of providing exclusive glyphs.

Comment is outdated, and the fix has not been implemented as promised.

Kommentar von Zorquan

Missing is Glyph of Vanish

Kommentar von 842078

I usually do 1-2 treasure runs a day and find maybe 5-7 treasure chests in one day. The zones I go thru are Sholazar Basin, Icecrown, Crystal Song and Stormpeaks. From my own experience, I'd say its about 1 in 7-8 I would get a Book of Glyph Mastery. Some days I get two books. Some days I get none. To fly thru each zone it probably takes 10 minutes per zone.

To make this easier on myself, I've downloaded Gathermate2 mod and imported Gathermate2_data. However, Gathermate does not have Maplewood Treasure Chest in their data info. They only have Sturdy Treasure Chest. Sholazor Basin and Crystal Song only have Sturdy treasure chests the route is straight forward by looking at the map. Icecrown has 4 Sturdy Treasure chest listed in Icecrown, but it is mostly Maplewood Treasure Chests, you can use wowhead and search maplewood treasure chest to help you locate those and to design a route you can use. Stormpeaks is mostly Sturdy but there are a few Maplewoods.

I haven't really tried the lower level zones, since I feel it is already time consuming enough. But from the post by juggle, it seems the drop rate is lower. Happy farming.

Kommentar von Mais

This is confirmed. It was a question in the Ask the Devs series #7. It's about halfway down.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2522165843

Will you provide a way to speed up the acquiring of glyphs usually acquired through research and glyph books? Glyph books (Book of Glyph Mastery) are hard to come by now that people spend so little time in WotLK content. - Furlqt (NA/ANZ), 에르네스트린덴만 (KR), Kånê (EU-ES)

Yes. We will be changing the discovery spells so they can teach all possible glyphs, and the books will simply provide a no-cooldown method to do the same thing.

Kommentar von 768077

Cant need on these anymore if your trying to grab it for an alt... 4.2 patch made all BoE items soulbound if needed on in a Need Before Greed situation (all dungeon finder groups).

Also, The main Inscription page Inschriftenkunde states "Currently, scribes learn specific recipes through Northrend Inscription Research, Minor Inscription Research, and Book of Glyph Mastery from Northrend; this will be revamped in 4.2." ... Has anyone noticed this revamp yet? And if so, What is it?
---Answered my own question by reading above...DUH....Although it seems, it's not quite confirmed or implemented in game, that glyphs from Book of Glyph Mastery can be learned from Northern Inscription Research.....Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Kommentar von 428632

Best place to try and farm these is CoT: Strat. The gauntlet on the backside respawns elites that drop them. Just don't talk to Arthas and you can farm them all day w/o having to reset the instance.

Kommentar von Damonra

I just spoke to GameMaster Aslyetaii on a separate issue. Bringing up some recent topics on this thread, (s)he has told me that learning the glyphs from the Book of Glyph Mastery is still the only way to learn them. He said it was supposed to make it to the game where they can also be learned through the Northrend Inscription Research, but never made it live. He only said that it was, "undone," with out any true explaination. He had thoughts as to why, but nothing positive or verified.

I had asked about them dropping only in Northrend, and he replied saying he was walking a fine line and could not comment specifically on that. Only that the drop locations have not changed.

He could not give any information as to when or how any future changes will be made to this.

Kommentar von 94891

Inscription is a nightmare right now. These books go for 2k to 8k on my server, and with one I get the terribad Glyph of Life Tap. Given that this profession makes little money now, it's time to change it.

Kommentar von 611255

I remember End-Game WOTLK this were in the AH for 30g a pop and I could get 2 per dungeon on my scribe. Glad I was smart enough to do it then because, now the darned things are like 500g. Lalalalala that sucks.

Kommentar von Jakathera

Blizzard really needs to change the drop rate, or add them to cataclysm. 800+g a pop on my server as of 4.2... quite a disappointment if you just leveled your scribe in cataclysm.

Kommentar von 818541

Is it just me being unlucky? or is it less likely the books drop when u dont have inscription on the char u are farming with.
I did 14x utgarde pinnacle :0 books but got blue proto drake instead.. not bad.
And i have spend several hours in the culling of stratholme and again 0 books.

Prices for the books are around 500g on nordrassil aswell.
that would be 27K to learn them all. The "rare" (thanks to blizzard) glyphs are around 200g... wich means i could buy 135 glyphs for the same gold....
If nothing is going to change, i recon the rare glyphs will be around 1K by the end of this year, making it impossible for new players to even think of buying glyphs at lvl 25. (wich allready is the case)
way to go.

Kommentar von 686096

I'm curious...I saw that it says above, that these books can be obtained from lockboxes. I have a scribe that I'm wanting to "farm" these for, but on my rogue. Can I pickpocket humanoids and get them via those boxes? I haven't gone around pickpocketing a lot lately, I may try it out. I was just curious if anyone else has tried this.

Kommentar von 721159

This book dropped for me twice in Storm Peaks within a two day period.

Kommentar von GravenTerenas

Broken profession is still broken? How characteristically professional of them. :p

Kommentar von 849660

Just had one of these drop in Icecrown, only other on AH selling for 1000 gold. Seems somewhat unfair for poor scribes having to pay such outrageous prices for new glyphs.

Mind you this is the first one I've ever seen drop and I've taken down hundreds of mobs in the area.

Edit: 12/5/11 - As I was coming back to view this post, it made me think about other professions, namely EC and BS, since those are my mains two maxed out professions. There is rarely a day that goes by, when there is not a world drop plan or enchant available; however, the cost of these are anywhere between 7k-25k a very substantial amount of money.

This cost makes the common 1000 gold per book much, much cheaper, but yet the rareity of these items are much higher. Is this due to the random nature of the possible Glyph that may be learned? Or is it due to the low number of scribes compared to other professions, thus lowering the demand and so the price?

I'd be interested to hear from any scribes reading this to help answer this question.

Kommentar von Mort1982

As of 4.2 all glyphs learned from the books will be discovered through research too.
The books will just speed up the process, instead of providing exclusive glyphs.

This is an outright lie, he is either misinformed or trolling. I tried both researches minor and northrend research over the past 5 days and got nothing. I have every glyph except for the ones from the Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung. You still need the Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung to learn all of the glyphs that are only available from them, there is no other way to learn them even in 4.3.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2522165843

This statement was made on 5/16/2011 almost 5 months ago, along with a lot more answers that apply to many things that still have yet to be implemented if they ever do. It was simply a set of answers to shut people up and let people know what blizzard is planning, there is no set patch as to when this will be implemented so keep an eye on the patch notes.

I cannot imagine that people do not want the truth but yet this post continually gets down-voted as of now it is impossible to learn the glyphs that are learned by the use of Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung by any other means. I have been a maxed scribe since its inception and I am still missing some of the glyphs because the drop rate on the Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung is just to low.
As of 4.3 some of the things that were listed in the http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2522165843 were added; however the part about Northrend Research giving the glyphs that are learned by the books is not one of the things that was added... and the wait continues.
As of 4.3.3 still no change.
I have learned all of them since 5.0.4 hit from research these books simply speed the process along now.

Kommentar von Derren

blizz said those glyphs will be learned in research in a QA.

6months no news about it or patch.

Looks like this will see some much welcomed and needed changes:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3988399966#2

The Book of Glyph Mastery is actually a topic we’ve been discussing in our meetings. I can’t make any promises just yet but can at least acknowledge that we’re tossing around ideas for the book and for researching new Inscription glyphs.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3988399966?page=3#41

There has been quite a bit of honest and reasonable feedback. I appreciate all of you for sharing and for being patient while I worked to follow-up with the developers for more information.

Back in May of 2010, we began tossing around ideas about how to improve Inscription. But at that time, Mists of Pandaria was still in the early stages of character talent development. As that was hashed out, it directly affected how we were then able to approach potential Inscription and glyph changes. As a matter of fact, at one point during the discussions, glyphs were going to be removed altogether. That then evolved into the idea of Prime glyphs being removed, Major glyphs being adjusted such that their added bonuses did not affect talents, and Minor glyphs being revamped so they felt more interesting.

Have no fear, I have been assured that Inscription and glyph discovery are being actively discussed in preparation for upcoming changes with Mists of Pandaria. This comes with one albeit relieving caveat: Glyphs that are now learned solely through the Book of Glyph Mastery are planned to be available through the Northrend and Minor research dailies.

Kommentar von apolojulius

While farming mats for enchanting and tailoring I acquired 4 of these books in Utgarde Pinnacle Normal within 6 runs.

Kommentar von LaCrysta

Has Blizzard has increased the drop rate on these? I've seen one over several months of playing, but I saw three this past week; or maybe it's because of all the extra things I've been killing to farm for Hübscher Glücksbringers.

Kommentar von 961401

Warning: This book is usable ONCE!

I didn't know this before I spent 1900g at the auction house.
Totally not worth it.

Kommentar von 964922

I found two while farming Frostweave Cloth close of Aldur'Thar in Icecrown. One I found while farming the cultist in the little place. The second one, while farming the cultist I found a chest, and opened it and inside was Book of Glyph Mastery, so yes just doing your stuff and doing what you basically do in Northrend, you can find some. Don't farm for them for long, because you'll probably find them when you'r not expecting it :) Good luck =D

Kommentar von Beefstew

This is for anyone looking for these books by farming the treasure chests in Northrend.

Here is a list of the way-points for all chests(according to wowhead maps nodes). This includes Robuste Truhe, Seidene Schatzkiste, Stabile Schatzkiste, and Schatzkiste aus Ahornholz.

The waypoints are split so each "copy paste" fits in an ingame macro.

Enjoy!

As of 5/6/2012 the Northrend Inscription Research does allow you to learn new glyphs. I just leared a new one and I was prev maxed on the glyphs learned from doing the research.

I've started farming the chests in all the zones in northrend about 2 weeks ago so I figured I'd put up what I found out (low pop server).

There are 4 chests possibly up per zone (besides landing + forest, they each can have 1 up)
Fleshwork 3 possible spawns are affected by phasing (my mage did all icecrown and can't see them).
Another phasing spot is Scourgeholme. If you don't do the quests for Scourgeholme you won't be able to see the 3 spawns there.
Respawn for 2 chests seems to be ~8 hours total, don't know exactly how long to get all 4 up. On my first run (morning) I get 3-4 per zone, and then 2 on the second run after 8 hours. I don't do a second run so with at most 16 hours most will be up.
I've gotten the landing chest over a large amount of time while doing tournament dailies. While farming over the past few weeks I would NEVER see them after 8 hours, but I did see one after 11 hours, and then didn't see one about 12 hours after that. So I'd suggest it's about a 12 hour respawn.
There is also a maplewood chest missing on hrothgar's landing's map. It is on the ship where you do Ornalf the Scarred at 59.2, 31.6.
Server restart/maintenance restarts any down (wouldn't know about up since I tend to get em if they're up, though I'd suggest they despawn) chests including their timers themselves.
The two chest points west of the tournament grounds in icecrown (Deathspeaker's Watch) count as the landing chests, so check there if you haven't gotten the 1 landing chest.

Short answer to the question, "How do I farm these things easily?"

You don't.

I looped through the chests in Northrend today and out of 12 chests found, none of them contained glyph books. I have yet to try mass-farming enemies, but given that it's a random drop, it's not really "farming". I'm glad Blizz has said they are going to revamp this in MoP; as it stands, the only "reliable" way to find these is to buy them off the AH whenever you see them.

I've been farming this out of Pit of Saron, the icc lvl 80 dungeon. With my Blood DK I can clear this instance in about 12-15 minutes in normal mode. I've been getting 1 of these books every 4 runs, in a couple hours I had 4 already, they drop of any mob in the place, so make sure you kill everything. So, if there's a way to "farm" these things, that dungeon is your best choice.

Kommentar von Solaire

I always get really happy when I get a new book :)

Kommentar von 921466

someone down the list said Icecrown is bad for farming this book and listed the "best options". the thing is, although the options listed do have high drop rate, they are quite rare mobs (the worms of storm peaks, the rune weavers of grizzly hills, etc), so unpractical to farm. the Convcerted Heroes of Icecrown have a lower drop rate, but they fill an enourmous area in packs of up to 8 mobs, easy to kill at 85, with fast respawn and they also drop a lot of greens and cloth. farm them with a tailor/enchanter, and each time you fill your bags compact the stuff disenchanting and making bolts of cloth, and continue farming. by the time you cant compact any more stuff and go back to a city, you'll have a ton of materials to sell and (likely) a Book of Glyph Mastery or 2.

Kommentar von Dreadmight

With the release of patch 5.0.4 the value of these books will be going up drastically, as there is a whole class' worth of glyphs to learn, along with the new major and minor glyphs that are being introduced. My suggestion if you have any books is to sell it at a good price, as demand is prime right now.

Kommentar von Kevlan

I finished up all my research glyphs long ago on my scribe, but didn't ever gather enough Books to finish those spells. This morning, post 5.04 launch I did a Northrend Inscription Research and learned the Glyph of Stampeding Roar. That's one that used to be available only through the books. I have a second scribe on another realm and he made a Glyph of Hammer of the Righteous this morning - Another that used to be learned through books.

Based on this, they must have changed something in the research process and not documented it. Excellent news!

I can confirm that glyphs that previously required a Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung to learn can now be learned through Northrend Inscription Research (). The only advantage the books offer at this point is speed - there is no CD, so you can learn more than a glyph a day.

Kommentar von 960439

Following the 5.0.4 patch, I have just used the to learn , so it looks like we are finally free of relying on these books.

Edit: Not quite sure why this is being downrated, useful confirmation that my char was able to learn a glyph that was previously only available from the Books of Glyph Mastery, perhaps it's people still trying to get high prices for the books.

Kommentar von cracklingice

I would like to add that while you can discover the glyphs in these books with research, you can not discover research glyphs with these books. Good thing I just bought 14. >:-\

To help with looking up which glyphs are from what types of research, I made this This Google Spreadsheet.

If a glyph is trainable (ie, from a trainer) it will NOT be listed
I use the sheet to track my progress on learning various glyphs
It will also show you which research type is required
"m"inor and "M"ajor types are noted

(reminder: you now can learn Northrend glyphs from Scrolls of Wisdom ... and you no longer need Book of Glyph Mastery unless you want to pay to speed up your learning process)

The sheet is open for all to read. Anyone can leave a comment on the second page. If you want to copy the sheets to your own version (ie, in a new document that YOU own, don't try and use the master document as I delete randomly added sheets every once in awhile) to track your glyph learning progress, feel free.

If useful please uprate here or feel free to leave a comment in the file.

I can confirm that as of Patch 5.3 these books are no longer NEEDED. I've seen many 3 of these in my entire time playing and I'm fairly certain I used them all before I made my Panda (who is now my primary Scribe). However, I just checked and I know all of these recipes. Thus, the books are probably still here to make it easier, but you CAN learn them from other sources.

Kommentar von Allyz

With WoD made virtually useless. It now has the same effect as the scribe training of northrend, which uses 3 Inks of the Sea with no cooldown.
