Turn all your Burning Embers into [Inferno Ink]. If you don't have any Burning Ember, just skip this part and start making the next recipe.

* 482 - 490
Go to Vashj'ir - Kelp'thar Forest. Kill mobs there until you get [Technique: Origami Slime]. The drop rate is pretty high, don't get confused by wowhead data. The recipe will be green, but it only requires Resilient Parchment to make, which you can buy from Inscription supply vendors. If you don't want to farm the technique, you should make the recipe below.

15 x [Dust of Disappearance] - 30 Blackfallow Ink

* 490 - 500
Go to Deepholm and kill these mobs until you get [Technique: Origami Rock]. Same as above. Skip this if you don't want to farm it.

2 x [Etched Horn] - 8 Inferno Ink, [Scavenged Dragon Horn]

Scavenged Dragon Horns are sold in Twilight Highlands by Una Kobuna in Dragonmaw Port for Horde and by Casandra Downs in Highbank for Alliance. These vendors are only available after the initial Twilight Highlands quests have been completed. The quests require at least level 84. These items are not bound when purchased, so you can buy them from other players or from the auction house.

Do not forget that 10 Blackfallow Ink can be traded for 1 Inferno Ink at Jessica Sellers in Dalaran!

* 500 - 520
The cheapest method would be to make [Forged Documents] up to 520 or 525. It has a 24 hour cooldwon, but the materials are really cheap compared to the other items that you can craft at this skill level. This way it will take up to around 25 days to level Inscription.

If you really want to reach 525 as fast as possible, make the following items:

500-505 - 5 x [Runescroll of Fortitude II]
505-511 - 2 x [Runed Dragonscale]
511-520 - 3 x [Divine Companion] or [Battle Tome] or [Dungeoneering Guide]
