Introduction to Rune Engravings and Abilities

The most prominent feature of the Season of Discovery is the introduction of Rune Engravings, a game-changer for your gear. Rune Engravings don't just offer new abilities; they allow you to augment your current spells and even unlock entirely new possibilities for your class. 

  • Extra Skills and Improvements

Starting in Phase 2 of the Season of Discovery, all classes can find extra base skills and quality of life improvements. These are available in consumable items scattered around the world. While these items aren't classified as Runes, discovering and learning them is essential for players seeking to maximize the potential of their class. 

Warriors can currently obtain: 

Handbook of Commanding Shout — can drop from any boss in Scarlet Monastery Graveyard wing.

How to Find and Unlock Warrior Runes

Unlocking these powerful Runes isn't confined to specific races, though they are most commonly associated with races from the areas where the Runes are found. This means that even if you're playing a character from a different race or faction, you can still unlock these Runes by following the necessary steps. Let's dive into where and how you can find these transformative Runes for Warriors.

The process of unlocking each Rune is unique and tied to specific locations and actions within the game. Here's a quick guide to help you locate and unlock the Warrior Runes:

Rune NameSlotUnlock Method
Victory Rush
Gloves
Races that start in the Valley of Trials (Orc and Troll) can find their Rune inside a chest in a cliff behind the starting position. You can jump to it by following the cliffs past the Sarkoth NPC spawn location. Taurens can find it inside a chest up on a hill in the Brambleblade Ravine, around the 61,76 map coordinates in the Mulgore area. The path to go up starts at 60,75. Dwarf and Gnomes can get theirs by killing Frost Trolls near their starting area for the The Lost Rune quest, while Humans get it from a chest in the back of the Echo Ridge Mine. Night Elves can get it from the Amidst the Shadowed Webs early quest.
Endless Rage
Gloves

Horde gets Endless Rage from the Horde Warbanner in the Crossroads, Barrens. Take it to Northwatch Hold and replace the Alliance banner at the top of the hill with the Horde one, summoning a fearing enemy that will give you the Rune once defeated. 

Alliance gets Endless Rage from killing rare / named mobs in early leveling zones past the 1-6 starter zone. We have reports of it dropping from Lady Sedonax in Darkshore, or Old Murk-Eye in Westfall, for example.

Devastate
Gloves

Orcs and Trolls get it by killing Centaur, Harpy, and Quillboar for their heads, which can be turned in at NPCs in Razor Hill for the Rune components. 

Taurens get it by killing Gnolls (south), Harpy (north), and Quillboar (northeast) in Mulgore.

Undead kill Gnolls at Garren's Haunt, Bats, and Murlocs, and hand them in to Dorac Graves in the Apothecarium, near the alchemists, in the Undercity.

Humans must trade Murloc and Kobold heads in Stormwind's Old Town area, while Dwarves and Gnomes need a Wendigo Paw to turn in at Kharanos.

Night Elves must hunt Tiger, Owls, and Spiders and trade their heads to Delwynna around 63,22 in Darnassus.

Single-Minded Fury
Gloves

Reach Friendly reputation with the new Durotar Supply and Logistics faction on Horde, or equivalent Azeroth Commerce Authority in the Alliance and buy the rune for 2 gold. You can increase your reputation with these factions by turning in Supply Shipment green items randomly looted from world content, preferably after combining them with the profession materials requested in their description in order to increase the reputation and amount of currency awarded.

Quick Strike
Gloves

Horde players can get this Rune by talking to Kilxx in the Ratchet docks in the Barrens zone. Purchase a Fishing Harpoon, head into the bay area and find the shark Bruuz near a boat at the bottom. Use the Harpoon to weaken him and kill him for the Rune.

Alliance players get this by farming Troggs around the 26,50 map coordinates in Loch Modan for a locked skull, which can be opened by getting hit by the knockdown ability from the nearby Stonesplitter Skullthumper around 36,80.
