I can't get enough Scrolls of Identification. Suggestions welcome

I have about 35 unidentified items; about 1/4 which I can use. Yet I get very few Scrolls of Identification from drops.
I know I can buy them for 45, but the level 56 items fetch only 9 or 10; so buying them isn't an option.
Am I missing something in my game play?, or,
Is there a less expensive option that I may have missed?

easy way = buy on AD
edit:
special semi-exploit way = do your quest story dungeon but dont finish it, go out by DC or queue in something, repeat till it is enough for you
Dungeons don't really grant any ID scrolls....at all.
At least not the Epic dungeons.
1. Kill mobs - foundry, questing, just roaming zones.
2. Don't waste scrolls on gear you can't equip or that is lower level than what you have equipped.
3. If you're still in a pinch, one dailies worth of AD will get you plenty of scrolls at the Wondrous Bazaar
I get none from dungeons...
But I'm piling them from doing the Foundry Missions.
Good source of gold too which you'll need after level 60.

I stopped identifying everything and just started mailing it all to myself until I can either sell it on the AH or if it doesn't sell there, just vendor trash it. Kind of a shame but we are very limited on space. Doesn't make sense to pay 45 silver for something that doesn't sell on the AH that you are going to ultimately vendor for 4 silver. So for now, no identifying anything not in my class unless it's blue or better. I will only ID my class if it's something that may be better than what I have.
On a side note, I will just say that it is really tough for a new player coming in now. We didn't get in early enough to sell the higher lvl gear for profit so unless you are willing to spend RL cash, I may be struggle for awhile. It is what it is.
20 identification scrolls are 900 AD. You can make that with 2 invocations. If you do leadership you can easily make 400 - 1200 AD per slot you assign to it once its up around level 7+, and last you can do daily quests to earn 1000+ per run.
So given that 20 ID scrolls runs 900 AD I'm not seeing the problem.

Wait, what? Why were you identifying everything?
Run more foundry quests and stop IDing items that you are not going to use. I have surpluses of ID scrolls I sell on the AH all the time.
They do. Players don't find many of them because they use the exploits to get passed most of the mobs... or bump them down the cliff.
Will /danceseductive for ZEN. :cool:
Good idea
This exactly. I generally only ID stuff I can use. The rest just gets trashed. I'm not really loosing out that much extra coin. Identifying everything just seems like a really inefficient way to convert AD into gold.
The only time i've ever had to purchase scrolls was for one or two items that I looted before the whole level 30 transition. Now, granted i've yet to get a character to 60. Things might change at the higher levels. But with 4 characters in the 40s i've yet to ever had to buy a single lesser ID scroll.
I've only been playing the game for just over a week. What I read was that the way to do it was to identify everything and then throw it on the AH as items that are unidentified do not sell for much.
i doubt you will see much income from green items.
they drop all over the place and the vendors sell a blue item set every 5-10 levels.
i always just vendor the stuff not for my class unidentified.
I wouldn't even waste throwing stuff on the AH unless it's at least blue (and even then, most of the time i just vendor it, worth a lot more silver than the AD i would get).
But yes, like everybody else said, don't ID everything, just what you can use, and vendor the rest of the junk.
