WoW Inscriptions Leveling Guide 1-450
The following is an approximation of how many of each item it might require to level your inscriptions from 1 to 450. The guide is here just as a reference as it will never be exactly the same every time you level. If you run out of mats and the auction house does not have any to buy, just look for another plan that will raise your level then continue the guide from there.
Gold is cheap, but your time is not!
