According to wowhead, there's a total of 383 usable glyphs. This macro will tell you how many you have left to learn. I cant take all the credit, or even any of it as it's an adapted macro from someone else's post on WowHead

/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills() do name, type, _, _, _, _= GetTradeSkillInfo(i) if (name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph")) then f=f+1 end end do print(math.ceil(383-f).. " glyphs to go") end

the next macro will tell you how many herbs you need to make the remaining inks!

/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills() do name, type, _, _, _, _= GetTradeSkillInfo(i) if (name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph")) then f=f+1 end end do print(math.ceil((((383-f)*3)*2)*5).. " ~= herbs required") end

**** updated with Miaque's info :)

This inscription research has no cooldown, unlike the previous ones. There seems to be 72 new glyphs that can be learned by this, and if one wants to learn all of them at once, they will need 216 Warbinder's Ink's or 432 Cerulean Pigments.

I took Fanrandir's adapted macros and adapted them again. I made four macros, one for each step of the process. I removed some unrequired whitespace, and compressed some math, so you have more room to modify the exact text displayed. I also corrected an error in his calculation for herb requirements.

Glyph Research 1 (Research: Warbinder's Ink Remaining)
/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills()do name,type,_,_,_,_= GetTradeSkillInfo(i)if(name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph"))then f=f+1 end end do print(math.ceil(388-f).." glyphs remaining.")end
This one gives the number of glyphs remaining, assuming there are 388 total (that number will probably change in the future, adjust all macros accordingly).

Glyph Research 2 ([spell=178497] / Light Parchment Required)
/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills()do name,type,_,_,_,_= GetTradeSkillInfo(i)if(name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph"))then f=f+1 end end do print(math.ceil((388-f)*3).." inks required.")end
Same macro, except you need 3 inks per research page, so multiply glyphs remaining times 3.

Glyph Research 3 (Cerulean Pigment Required)
/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills()do name,type,_,_,_,_= GetTradeSkillInfo(i)if(name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph"))then f=f+1 end end do print(math.ceil((388-f)*6).." pigments required.")end
Now you need 2 pigments per ink, or glyphs remaining times 6.

Glyph Research 4 (Approx Herbs Required)
/run local name,type local f=0 for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills()do name,type,_,_,_,_= GetTradeSkillInfo(i)if(name and type ~= "header" and string.find(name,"Glyph"))then f=f+1 end end do print("About "..math.ceil((388-f)*15).." herbs required.")endNow you need 5 herbs each time you mill, but I'm getting about 2 pigments per milling, so that's 5 herbs per ink, not per pigment, which is glyphs remaining times 15, not 30.

I milled 465 herbs and got 196 pigment, which yielded 98 inks, which gives 32 research notes. My macros said I need 465 herbs for 186 pigments for 93 inks for 31 glyphs, so it seems to work pretty good. Might want to save that last 5% or so in case you get lucky with procs of 3 pigment per 5 herbs. Also of note: The macro can't tell the difference between known glyphs learned via research and those learned via vendor bought/looted techniques, so you may have to go past the number cited if you've learned glyphs another way. (However, both of my scribes say 0 glyphs remaining after I updated the number from 383 to 388 in accordance with a comment above, so maybe all glyphs can be learned via research.)
