This Rune requires the assistance of two other classes in order to unlock. A rogue with the Master of Subtlety Rune learned and a Jani's Charm is required to pick pocket the Bloodscalp Trolls found in the ruins in northwestern Stranglethorn vale for the Mysterious Troll Scroll

After you have acquired the Mysterious Troll Scroll you will need a Mage with a Comprehension Charm to turn the Mysterious Troll Scroll into a Deciphered Troll Scroll which will begin your quest to unlock this Rune.

Directly north of Booty Bay there is a mountain filled with Naga, a bit north of where you will find the Bloodsail Pirates west of Booty Bay (found around 28.9, 62.0) there will be a fountain where you can acquire the Holy Spring Water you will need.

With the Holy Spring Water and two meditation buffs from any source you can head to the fountain that will be found in the same Bloodscalp ruins where we got the Mysterious Troll Scroll from and the fountain behind the Bloodscalp Chieftan Gan'zulah will become interact-able, click on it and you will be able to loot the Rune. (The fountain can be found at roughly 23.6, 8.2)

It is worth noting that the Mysterious Troll Scroll and the Deciphered Troll Scroll are tradeable so you will likely be able to purchase these if you are unable to find a Rogue or Mage able to help.

Pain Suppression — Instantly reduces all damage taken by a friendly target by 40% and increases resistance to Dispel mechanics by 65% for 8 seconds.

In order to unlock the Rune for Pain Suppression you will need to find 4 Echos which can be found across Azeroth. You can collect these in any order but when activating them in the final step they must be used in the correct order. I recommend going after the Graveyard Echo last as you will be heading to Scarlet Monastery to turn these all in. The echoes come from Tombstones so make sure you are looking for an interact-able tombstone when collecting these.

Arathi Echo can be found at Go'shek Farm in Arathi Highlands (roughly 62, 54)

Theramore Echo can be found just outside Theramore at the small graveyard found at 63.5 42.5

Swamp Echo can be found at a stand alone grave stone on the western side of the zone, just below the first watch tower you see when coming from Deadwind pass. (roughly 16.8 53.8)

Graveyard Echo can be found in Scarlet Monastery: Grave Yard, when in the court yard you will find an interact-able headstone just a bit east of the small mausoleum found on the northern side of the grave yard.

When you have all four Echoes next you will need to head into the Scarlet Monastery Library, proceed to the Gallery of Treasures where you will need to use these items in order, first being the Swamp Echo at the Warrior Statue, second the Arathi Echo at the Mage statue, third Theramore Echo at the Paladin statue and lastly the Graveyard Echo at the Priest statue. Upon completing this in correct order a glowing sphere will appear in the center of the room granting you the Memory of a Leader's Betrayal which will teach you the Rune for Pain Suppression.

Spirit of the Redeemer — Activate to become the Spirit of Redemption for 30 seconds. While in this form, you can cast any healing spell free of cost, but you cannot move, attack, be attacked, or be targeted by any spells or effects. Requires Spirit of Redemption talent to activate, and you will no longer enter Spirit of Redemption upon dying.

Head to Deadwind Pass and speak to the Dalaran Agent that can be found at Ariden's Camp which can be found just north of the turn where you would head east into Swamp of Sorrows (roughly 52, 35).This agent will give you Ariden's Sigil this Sigil has an on use to provoke nearby Dark Riders to reveal themselves. You will know when you are near a Dark Rider as you will gain the buff Dark Presence when near one but otherwise they are just disguised as regular NPCs. Upon killing a Dark Rider you will be rewarded with a Dalaran Relic, we need 7 relics to earn this Rune so we will need to kill 7 different Dark Riders. Below is my recommend order to quickly complete this task. Dark Riders can be difficult to kill but certainly should be able to be soloed, consider partying up with a friend to make this task easier, especially a Mage as we will have to cover a significant amount of distance to complete this task.

Please note that the Dark Riders do have a small patrol area and the coordinates recommend below are a rough approximation, if you walk around the recommend location you should quickly be able to find them.

The closest Dark Rider to your starting point can be found in Deadwind Pass at (43, 29)

The second Dark Rider can be found at (69, 28) in the Swamp of Sorrows.

The third Dark Rider can be found in Duskwood at (22, 51)

The fourth Dark Rider can be found in The Badlands at (58, 54)

the fifth Dark Rider can be found in the Arathi Highlands at (60, 40)

Next we will need to head to Kalimdor, the sixth Dark Rider can be found at (52, 36) in the Barrens.

The 7th and final Dark Rider we need can be found in Desolace at (65, 25).

Return to the Dalaran Agent in Deadwind Pass with the 7 relics you have acquired and turn in their respective quests and the Rune will be your reward!

Pain and Suffering — Mind Blast refreshes the duration of your Shadow Word: Pain on the target back to its maximum duration.

The first part of this Rune comes from killing Wastewander Shadow Mages and Wastewander Thiefs that can be found east of Gadgetzan. The Wastewander Shadow Mages drop the Coded Warlock Notes we will need and the Wastewander Thiefs drop the Wastewander Cipher. Combine this items for the Deciphered Warlock Notes we will need for the next step.

Head to (58.0 36.0) in Tanaris and look for the Cryptic Scroll of Summoning on the ground. This is not a traditional NPC but you will be able to see a nameplate for it. Stand directly on top of the Cryptic Scroll and use the Deciphered Warlock Notes. This will cause a Enraged Voidwalker to spawn, which will drop this Rune.

Divine Aegis — Critical heals create a protective shield on the target, absorbing 30% of the amount healed. Lasts 12 seconds.

The first step in unlocking this Rune is heading to the Emerald Sanctuary in southern Felwood and starting the quest The Wild Gods from the Shadowtooth Emissary. This quest will task you to head all over Azeroth to collect a series of items for the Shadowtooth Emissary.

First, head to Jinth'Alor in southeastern Hinterlands to collect the Wildwhisper Draught which can drop from any of the elite Trolls.

Next, head to Razorfen Downs and clear to the last boss, Amnennar the Coldbringer, consume the Wildwhisper Draught and it will cause the Spirit of Agamaggan to spawn. Speak to the Spirit of Agamaggan to begin the next part of the quest and receive the item Agamaggan's Roar which we will need for the remaining part of this quest.

Next, we will be tasked with heading to three different dungeons to kill Delirious Ancients. While the Wild Offering can drop from any of these three dungeons, you do not need to kill three different Delirious Ancients. You can farm all three of the Wild Offerings needed to complete this quest in the same dungeon if you are willing to reset the dungeon and re-clear it.

• Head to Zul'Farrak. After killing completing the Pyramid event, a ghostly spider will spawn in Gahz'rilla's room. While you do not need to kill Gahz'rilla, it makes it easier to find the spider that is patrolling around. Use the Agamaggan's Roar near the ghostly spider and kill the Delirious Ancient that spawns and loot the Wild Offering.
• Head to Maraudon Purple and kill Princess Theradras and use the Agamaggan's Roar near the devilsaur that is patrolling around the area where Princess Theradras was and kill the Delirious Ancient and loot the Wild Offering.
• Head to Blackrock Depths and kill the following three bosses, High Interrogator Gerstahn, Houndmaster Grebmar and complete the Ring of Law event. This will cause the ghostly basilisk to spawn near Bael'Gar. Use the Agamaggan's Roar and kill the Delirious Ancient and loot the Wild Offering.

With all three Wild Offerings in hand, return to the Shadowtooth Emissary and you will receive the Rune.

Eye of the Void — Call an eye of the void to fight for you for 30 seconds. The eye can cast a variety of curses on your target.

This Rune is unlocked by finding seven Eyes located throughout Azeroth to complete the quest Seven Eyes I Seek.... You do not need to be on the quest in order to loot the eyes. Listed below are the locations of the Eyes. While you are able to complete this in any order, the quest that grants the Rune itself is found in Azshara so it is recommended to do the Feralas eye last.

• Piercing Eye can be found at (36.5, 55.7) inside of Jaedenar in Felwood.
• Oozing Eye can be found at (56.4, 73.7) inside of the Silithid hive in Tanaris.
• Vibrating Eye can be found at (43.8, 45.8) in the Slag Pit in Searing Gorge.
• Pulsating Eye can be found at (49, 14.) in the Blasted Lands. You will need a slowfall effect to reach this eye.
• Glowing Eye can be found at (58.4, 72.7) in Jinth'Alor in Hinterlands.
• Baleful Eye can be found at (33, 88) in Stranglethorn Vale inside of the same Bloodsail ship as Captain Stillwater.
• Burning Eye can be found at (57.2, 68.7) in the Ruins of Isildien in Feralas.

Once you have collected all seven eyes, you will head to the northeastern most point of the coast in Azshara and then head a bit further east onto the beach (roughly 89, 33). Look for the Shrine of the Watcher which you should be able to find among the ruins along the beach. With all of the eyes in your inventory, /kneel while targeting the Shrine of the Watcher and you will be offered the quest Seven Eyes I Seek.... Turn in the Eyes and you will be rewarded with the Rune.

Surge of Light — Critical spellcasts cause your next Smite or Flash Heal cast within 15 sec to be instant cast.

This Rune drops from Echo of a Lost Soul which can be found in a number of locations such as the graveyard outside of Gadgetzan in Tanaris, the graveyard outside of Stonard in Swamp of Sorrows (found roughly at 50.3, 61.8), the graveyard north of Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands, and in the Ruins of Aboraz in Stranglethorn Vale. This mob has a buff protecting it from incoming Shadow, Fire, Frost, Holy, Nature, and Physical damage. To kill this mob, you will need to use Arcane damage or spam one of your Holy damage dealing abilities like Holy Fire or Smite which will eventually remove the Echo's Protected by Shadows buff.

Despair — Periodic damage from your spells can now be critical strikes.

To unlock this Rune, we will have to travel across Azeroth and activate four different Ley Crystals. This can be done one of two ways: any class can use the Worldcore Fragment, or if you have a Mage with you, they can use Scroll of Geomancy to channel into and activate the crystals.

The four crystals can be found in the following locations and can be completed in any order:

• near (57, 61) in Feralas,
• near (54, 65) in Searing Gorge,
• near (22, 78) in Azshara,
• near (48, 59) in the Hinterlands.

Once you finish the fourth activation, a level 47 elite arcane elemental will spawn. Kill it, and it will drop the Rune.

Void Zone — Summons a void zone in the target area that deals Shadow damage to enemies that stand within it every second for 10 sec.

This Rune is purchased from the Emerald Wardens reputation vendor at Friendly standing.
