''Inscribability'' or an ''[[inscription]] slot'' is an inherent property of some weapons which allows them to accept inscriptions. The system was introduced with [[Guild Wars Nightfall]].

;Inscribable weapons drop:
* in Nightfall, as [[Drop|loot drops]] from foes and all [[Chest|chests]],
* in [[Guild Wars Eye of the North]], as loot drops from foes and all chests,
* in [[Factions]], only from [[Kanaxai's Chest]] and [[Urgoz's Chest]], reward chests which spawn after completing [[The Deep]] and [[Urgoz's Warren]],
* in [[Prophecies]], only from [[Maz's Chest]], a reward chest which spawns after completing [[Forsaken Tunnels]] in [[pre-Searing Ascalon]],
* in core areas
** from the [[Chest (Hall of Heroes)|Chest]] which spawns after winning a PvP battle in the [[The Hall of Heroes (arena)|Hall of Heroes]],
** from the [[Zaishen Chest]] in [[Isle of the Nameless]]
** from the [[Underworld Chest]] and [[Chest of Woe]], reward chests which spawn after completing [[The Underworld]] and [[Fissure of Woe]].

The introduction of inscribable versions of a weapon has led to confusion, as it is not immediately obvious whether a weapon has an inscription slot or not. The text "Inscription: None" or "Inscription: <Inscription name>" in the weapon description reveals that an item is inscribable. If the description does not contain this text, the weapon cannot be inscribed.

==Notes==
*Weapons without inscription slots are almost always called "old school" or "OS" weapons in the [[trade]] channel.
