Scribing on alts quest question (answered)

(Console player) I know that on your alts, in order to unlock scribing, you only need to do the 5 minute quest, if scribing is already unlocked.
But, does that lock the alts out of doing the entire scribing questline?
I'm thinking about the low drop rates of ink, and I'd like to unlock scribing on my alts, but not lock myself out of those 12 inks from the entire questline, if I decide to do those at a later date.

Thanks.

    Yes you can still do the questline on alts if you like, it's a good way for broke players to grind ink.

    No, it does not lock you. You can do the whole quest again with all alts if you want.

    Yeah, that's why I was asking. From a different thread:

    I'm not suggesting this is the way the game should be, but:
    I keep two toons between levels 10-30 at all times, to farm random daily dungeons fast. They're tanks, so I queue fast. Once they get to the longer dungeons, I run them through Wrothgar to get Orzorga's recipes to sell, delete the toons and recreate them.

    I guess I'll add "run them through Wrothgar, and the Scribing quests, then delete and recreate," if the ink remains this rare.

    If my mains have done the whole scribing line through Crow, can my alts on those accounts find ink while grabbing nodes without doing the Indrik and Netch quests?

    Yes, this is the intended design with account wide unlocks(upgrades)

    Oh good. I haven't been leveling alts much lately, because I was running the mains through scribing. So now back to normal! Thanks Edje!

    No worries, I literally did the main quest on my main then took another alt for curating scripts via dailies with and to this day that alt still hasn't done a single Scribing quest and has every script(other than the quest ones) unlocked and fed all my alts the Pull/Brutality scripts.

    I just wanted to be sure before starting my usual "It's this alt's turn for a few levels" etc.!
