November 10, 2023 3 minutes

Hey there WoW Classic enthusiasts! It's WowCarry here, and I'm excited to share some datamined information about the upcoming WoW Classic Season of Discovery. With the recent PTR build, we've managed to uncover some new armor slots associated with the Rune engraving system. If you've been eagerly anticipating the expansion of this system, then you're in for a treat!

Expanding the Rune Engraving System

In the initial level 25 bracket of the Season of Discovery, we were already aware of the addition of Chest, Leg, and Glove rune slots. However, our datamining efforts have now revealed that there will be a total of 9 rune slots across all main armor slots. Unfortunately, it seems that these new slots won't be available for Necks, Rings, Trinkets, or Weapons. Nevertheless, this expansion opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for enhancing your character's abilities.

  • Rune Engraving Abilities

Each armor slot that allows for rune engraving will grant you the opportunity to activate a unique ability. Let's take a look at which slots are involved and the corresponding abilities:

Armor Slot Rune Engraving Ability
Chest Activate an ability in this slot
Legs Activate an ability in this slot
Hands Activate an ability in this slot
Bracer Activate an ability in this slot
Cloak Activate an ability in this slot
Feet Activate an ability in this slot
Helm Activate an ability in this slot
Shoulder Activate an ability in this slot
Waist Activate an ability in this slot

These new rune engraving abilities will undoubtedly add a layer of depth and customization to your character's playstyle. Experimenting with different combinations and optimizing your setup will be key to success in the Season of Discovery.

Other Exciting Discoveries

Aside from the rune engraving system, our datamine also uncovered some exciting information about other aspects of WoW Classic Season of Discovery. Here are some highlights:

  • Class, Spells, and Runes

We found references to Druid Idols, Paladin Librams, and Shaman Icons. These items may have some powerful effects or synergies with certain abilities, offering additional customization options for these classes.

  • New Runes - Glad Stance & Hunter Kings

Two new runes were also discovered: "Glad Stance" and "Hunter Kings." While we don't have detailed information about these runes just yet, their names alone spark intrigue and speculation among the WoW community. Could they offer new gameplay mechanics or enhance existing abilities? We'll have to wait and see!

  • Professions, World Buffs, & More

In our data mining efforts, we stumbled upon references to various profession spells such as Mana Oils and Sharpening Stones. These new spells may provide additional buffs to weapons, further empowering your character before battles and encounters.

Additionally, we found indications of open-world PvP world buffs in Ashenvale and a specific world buff called "Boon of Blackfathom." These buffs could potentially offer significant advantages to those who manage to secure them, making the world of PvP even more thrilling.

It's important to note that these discoveries are based on our datamining efforts and may be subject to change as Blizzard fine-tunes and balances the Season of Discovery content.

Final Thoughts

The upcoming WoW Classic Season of Discovery is shaping up to be a fantastic addition to the game, with the expansion of the Rune engraving system and the various other exciting discoveries we've made. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a fresh-faced adventurer, the new content will provide ample opportunities for growth and experimentation.
