If you've sold the Inscriptions either on the AH or to a vendor you can buy them back on the AH for fairly cheap.

Artificing 75 - 100
After this Artificing becomes easier to level up since we're going to be purchasing all of the materials we need from the Auction House and discovering new recipes. It becomes too annoying and costly to level up yourself after this point and since everyone else is trying they're pawning off what they're making for really cheap. This will be the forever endless circle of supply and demand. Trust me!
