Forged Documents
Back in December, I wrote about the Forged Documents For Scribes. Back then the recipe required 3 Blackfallow Inks, but since Patch 4.1 the recipe requirement has been lightened. The Forged Documents now only require a single Blackfallow Ink and 1 Resilient Parchament. This simple change makes the Forged Documents and their daily quest a profitable option as opposed to being just a nice way to level your Inscription Skill 1 point per day.
The following charge can be used to determine how many Blackfallow Inks you can obtain for each stack of Cataclysm herbs. The Ore and Herb markets have been in flux and you can often find Cataclysm herbs for crazy low prices.

So removing the Inferno Ink from the equation, you can see that 1 stack of Cinderbloom, Stormvine, Azshara's Veil, or Heartblossom will mill into 5 Blackfallow Inks. The Whiptail and Twilight Jasmine will produce 6 Blackfallow Inks on average when milled.
Is Making Forged Documents Daily Profitable?
Each time it is completed the Forged Documents quest will award you a sack of gold that will provide you 18-25 gold for the quest completion. The quest is super easy. Just craft your Forged Document, start the quest, and hand it to one of many vendors in Orgrimmar (or alliance capital) to get your sack of gold.
So let's look at an example.
30g for a stack of Cinderbloom.
30g / 5 Inks = 6 gold it cost you per Blackfallow Ink.
6g Blackfallow Ink combined with a 50 silver parchament and you have 6.5 gold invested to make a Forged Document that will reward you more than double that investment.
This is a great way to start forming a daily pattern of everday tasks for everyday gold.
Unfortunately we Scribes can only create and complete 1 Forged Document quest per day, but it is a fail safe way to make some easy gold every single day on your high level scribe. Best thing is the profit is guaranteed as long as the herbs prices are at a low enough price. We can only hope that one day the cooldown will be removed and we can craft these over and over for easy gold. This would create a valid floor price for Cataclysm herbs much like the floor price of shuffling obsidium ores. We can only hope. I doubt the cooldown will be removed ever.
