Inscription profession here. I am able to use the Illustrious Insight I received from a quest, but I cannot make more. The recipe is still showing unlearned for me. I have learned how to use finishing reagents like blotting sand through a couple of sub-specializations but never got the Illustrious Insight recipe. I opened a ticket and the in-game GM told me to submit a bug report.
I have maxed 40/40 Rune Mastery, 20/20 Flawless Inks, and 30/30 Archiving, all of which say that you learn to use finishing reagants. Yet, the recipe is still unlearned for me. I am completely blocked from crafting end-game items until this is fixed.

I noticed this today as well for my inscription. Hopefully we can get a response regarding this matter.
After looking through and reading every single skill tree for the third time, I finally found that Illustrious Insight can ONLY be learned if you choose a tree path that specifically states “Learn to CRAFT Illustrious Insight”. There are several trees that I learned that only say “Learn to USE Illustrious Insight.”
This is extremely misleading and has been a huge waste of my time. I searched online and read many Inscription guides and NONE explain where exactly to learn how to create Illustrious Insight. They all just say “various tree paths”.
The best case I can make about my mistake is that this is so complicated that even TWO Blizzard customer service reps thought this was a bug and directed me here.
Sharing this update in hopes of helping other people pursuing Inscription not get led astray as well. This is NOT a bug.
To Learn to Craft Illustrious Insight for Scribes. It is under the Archiving Specialization and follow the Shared Knowledge Tree, it should be 25/30 when you finally learn to craft and use Illustrious Insight.
