Currently can not be purchased outside of Northrend. You also have to go to Amber Ledge to get these. This is not in the immediate landing area upon first reaching Northrend. Was able to do this as a 59 Death Knight with little trouble, but good luck if you are lower level. I stuck to the roads and having the 100% speed mount helped.

I was letting my friend play my Death Knight, and we of course wanted to try out Inscription. So last night he was playing, and got to Vengeance Landing to learn it as his first skill. Late last night/early this morning I made it to Amber Ledge, costing 8+ gold in repairs since I resurrected a few times. So I went to bed, got up, and leveled some Herbalism, then used those to level Inscription. I go to the trainer, Booker Kells, at Vengeance Landing, and he sells these. My friend said there wasn't a person who sold things there. Grr.

Edit: Apparently I could also have just taken a zeppelin from Orgrimmar to that side of Northren. Grr again.

This appears to have been renamed to "Inking Set", even though the inscription window still says you need "Scribe Tools" instead.

Comment by Theolol

After 24th September, the required Inscription tool item was renamed into "Virtuoso Inking Set" (used to be simply "Inking Set") and with a decorated lockbox as it's icon. All tooltips were updated in the Inscription recipes, where it was once still listed "Scribe Tools", the first name it had.

It seems all recipes will require the Inscriptioner to have this in their bags for creating any item of the profession, however at the moment all scrolls of Stamina, Intellect and Spirit except the first level of each (the ones for +3 of the stat), as well as Treated Vellum, can still be made without it.

It isn't soulbound and can be discarded at any time you aren't crafting, since it's sold at the supplies vendor near any Inscription trainer, with a buying cost of only 7s12c (6 silvers with Exalted discount).

Currently all capital cities have an Inscription trainer/supplies vendor, but not Shattrath. Other locations for them include Honor Hold (Alliance), Thrallmar (Horde) and Dalaran (Northrend), as well as Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.

Edit: Included Horde trainer in Thrallmar.

Sadly, this is not sold anywhere in Gilneas despite Inscription being available almost from the beginning. If you wish to begin leveling Inscription and using the beginning scrolls before leaving the area (and leveling beyond them) you will want to purchase this on another character and mail it to yourself. Mailboxes are easily accessible in Gilneas. Although I can't confirm from personal experience, I am sure Goblins will have to do the same.

Perhaps slightly off-topic, but...

As this item even states in its flavor text, the term for "one who practices Inscription" is "scribe."

Not that I really mind seeing "inscriptionist" or "inscriber" or "inscriptioner" but I just thought I'd point it out.

Same act of idiocy is in Brill, you can learn Inscription, but you can't practice it as you can't buy the set.
