As an Orc or a Troll, you can pickpocket Southsea Cannoneers located south of Ratchet until you find a Buccaneer's Matchbox. West of where you found the Cannoneers, atop the hill, you will find a bucket of gunpowder found at (61.78, 45.80). Click it and a chest will spawn with the Rune inside.

As a Human, pickpocket Garrick Padfoot. The note you receive will lead you to the location at the wall.

As a Night Elf, this Rune drops off of Lord Melenas in the cave north of Dolanaar.

As an Undead, pickpocket Captain Perrine, then take his signet ring to the Brill town hall to create a forged document. Take this to Jamie Nore to receive the Rune.

As an Orc or a Troll, you will acquire the Rune from the troll Ba'so in Durotar. Pickpocket the members of the Burning Blade north of Razor Hill and you will get a note. Return to Ba'so and turn it in.

As a Human, this Rune can be found in a chest by the outhouses near the vineyard in Northshire.

As a Dwarf, this Rune can be found in a chest in the frost troll cave in Coldridge Valley. The chest can be found towards the back of the cave just below the ledge where Grik'nir spawns.

As a Night Elf, this can be found on the roof above the inn inside of Shadowglen.

As an Orc or a Troll, Rogue Shadowstrike is a reward from the quest Atop the Cliffs, which will have you jump onto nearby cliffs. It is mere feet from your initial spawn point in the Valley of Trials.

As an Undead, you will be tasked with killing/pickpocketing Scarlet Converts which will drop the rune.

As Alliance, this can be found in Loch Modan, Darkshore and Westfall. In Loch Modan, this Rune can be looted from a toolbox found near the Dwarf NPCs located towards the middle of the Stonewrought Dam which is located at the very north of the Loch. In Darkshore, this Rune can be looted from a small pile of dirt you can find beneath the tree near the lighthouse in Auburdine. In Westfall, on the hill directly behind the Sentinel Hill Inn, there is an Elite Defias Scout with an Escape Plan buff, which will cause them to flee if you get too close. Use Stealth to avoid detection and Pickpocket Defias Scout and this will reward you with this Rune.

As Horde, this Rune can be found in both the Barrens and Silverpine Forest. In The Barrens, head over to Northwatch Hold, when you pass the main gate, look to your left; you will see a stable with a chest on the roof. You will have to complete a small jumping puzzle to get your Rune. Go around to the right and jump down onto the wall behind the stable. Once there, you can jump to the roof and loot the chest for the Rune. You will need 80 Lockpicking skill to open this chest. In Silverpine Forest, go to the entrance of Shadowfang Keep and use Sprint to jump to this small platform at 45.3, 67.3. You will need some kind of movement speed bonus to make the jump.

This Rune can be purchased from Grizzby in Ratchet. In order to unlock Grizzby as a vendor you must be level 20 and complete a series of tasks to earn his favor. There are three quests to complete, these can be completed in any order.

For the first you must provide him with 24 Fish Oil.

The second you must deliver him 20 Dark Iron Ordinances which drop from Dark Iron Dwarves in northern Wetlands or Southern Arathi Highlands.

The third you must deliver 16 Shredder Turbochargers which can only be acquired from Shredder NPCs using the Shredder Autosalvage Unit.

As any race, upon reaching level 20 you will receive a letter in the mail that will instruct you to go to Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest. Next to the ramp leading to Shadowfang Keep you will find a hut with a chest inside; opening the chest will begin The Horn of Xelthos quest.

This quest will have you go to find Veenix who is located in the western part of the Windshear Crag in Stonetalon Mountains. He will ask you for a work order, which can be pickpocketed or looted from Venture Co. Operators to obtain. When you return the Venture Co. Work Order to Veenix, he will give you the Breaching Charge needed for the next part of the quest. Next, head back to Shadowfang Keep and enter the dungeon alone — you must enter solo in order for the rare elites you need to spawn. With the Breaching Charge you can open the gate straight ahead of you when you enter the dungeon, allowing you access to the entire instance without having to kill the first boss. You will need to stealth around the dungeon and pickpocket the two rare elites, Gemela and Gefell, for the Sister's Half-Key and Brother's Half-Key. Make sure to be careful, as there are many areas in the instance where the halls are filled with mobs so navigating without being pulled out of stealth can be quite difficult. When you have both halves, find a safe spot to create the Twin Key — this action will pull you out of stealth. Head back to the stables found in the courtyard near to the entrance and use the key on the chest found there and inside you will find the horn. Exit the instance and return to the original hut where you can turn in the quest. After re-entering a major city you'll receive a mail which prompts you to head back to the same hut where you will finally be able to receive the Rune.

As a Human, loot or pickpocket Treasure Map Fragments to create an Elwynn Treasure Map. These come from Gnolls, Kobolds, Defias NPCs and Murlocs. You can then use the Elwynn Treasure Map to reveal the treasure.

As a Dwarf, loot or pickpocket Treasure Map Fragments to create a Dun Morogh Treasure Map. These come from Dark Iron Dwarves and Trolls found throughout the zone. You can use the Dun Morogh Treasure Map to reveal the treasure.

As a Night Elf, loot or pickpocket Treasure Map Fragments to create a Teldrassil Treasure Map. You can then use the Teldrassil Treasure Map to reveal the treasure in the hollow stump behind the building in Rutheran Village.

As an Undead, loot or pickpocket Treasure Map Fragments to create a Tirisfal Treasure Map. These come from Gnolls, Scarlet Crusade members and Murlocs throughout the zone. You can then use the Tirisfal Treasure Map to reveal the treasure under the bridge in Tirisfal Glades.

As an Orc or a Troll, pickpocket pieces of the Treasure map from Kultiran NPCs in Tirisgarde Keep, Burning Blade Members, Quilboar, and Trolls in Echo Isles. Combine the pieces to create a Durotar Treasure Map, which has you dig up treasure in the southernmost Echo Isles.

As a Human, there is a jump puzzle at the house just northeast of Goldshire. Use the crates to climb on the roof; there will be a chest on the roof containing the Rune.

As a Dwarf or a Gnome, there is a jump puzzle to get atop Kharanos Inn — go around to the north side of the inn and head up the mountain to get there.

As a Night Elf, kill Furbolgs inside Banethil until you receive a key. The chest is located randomly inside the Barrows.

As an Undead, it will be found inside a chest in Tirisfal Glades at Agamand Family Crypt; Agamand Relic Coffer Key can be looted from nearby mobs to open the chest.

As an Orc or a Troll, it will be found inside a chest in Durotar at Drygulch Ravine.

Head to Desolace to start the Highway Robbery quest at the extinguished Campfire (found at 47, 54). This quest will task you with finding someone who knows about the pillaged campsite — head to Bibbly F'utzbuckle who you can turn in the Highway Robbery quest to and he will begin your second part of this quest, On the Lam (Bibbly can be found at 63, 39 near Kormek's hut).

Head to the Inn in Booty Bay where you will be able to turn in On the Lam to Tokal who can be found on the first floor of the inn. She will offer you the quest Cherry for your Thoughts? You will need to buy her a Cherry Grog and then she will give you the next part of your quest, No Honor Among Thieves.

Next you will be heading to the Arathi Highlands to find a rowboat along the southern coast just east of the demolition camp where Dark Iron Dwarves are set up, right when you walk across Thandol Span to your east. The boat will teleport you to where you can find Illari Duskfeather; upon killing her she will drop Illari's Key that you need to open the Jewel-Encrusted Box you have been carrying throughout these quests. Open the box and you will find the Psychosophic Epiphany that teaches you the Rune.

Upon reaching level 30 you will receive a mail that will task you with heading to Pyrewood Village in Silverpine (found at 47.1, 71.1). Loot the chest and it will begin the quest The Eye of Bhossca. The first step is finding a disguise to enter Scarlet Monastery; this disguise can be found in a box in the stables found a bit to the west of Scarlet Monastery but still within the rocky ridge.

With your disguise active, head into the Graveyard wing of Scarlet Monastery and pickpocket a Scarlet Scryer found inside for their Scryer's Key. Then head over to the Library and in the hallway leading up to the final boss you will see a box on the eastern wall you can interact with — loot it, then head back to the Graveyard. Inside the Graveyard courtyard you will see two benches directly across from each other on the northern and southern sides. Type /sit and then walk across to the other bench and repeat the process. The correct sequence registers as a chat emote: 'You hear a faint click' should appear each time you sit on the benches. A chest will spawn just to the west of the northern bench.

Open the newly spawned chest and head back to the Library — in the Gallery of Treasures a side room will contain another new chest. Open this final chest containing the Eye of Bhossca, then return to the Dead Drop in Silverpine Forest and turn in the quest. Check your mail in a major city for the final letter; one last return to the Pyrewood Village Dead Drop awards the rune.

Head to the Kurzen camp in northern Stranglethorn Vale (around 44.8, 8.6); once there enter the large stone tower. Inside you will find Wendel Mathers inside a cage — talk with him and he will begin your quest for the rune with your first task of getting the key to free him.

You will need two items before returning to Mathers. Pickpocket the mobs in the cave on the northern side of the compound until you loot a Compound Cage Key, then head deeper into the cave. In the southeastern corner you will see a ramp; follow it upward and near the top you should see a chest you will need to unlock to obtain the Kurzen Fighter's Uniform. You will need at least 125 Lockpicking to open the chest.

With both items, return to Wendel Mathers and free him from the cage. Then head back to Booty Bay and meet Captain Aransas (roughly 27.8, 76.6) who will award you with the Rune.

Head to Deadwind Pass and speak to the Dalaran Agent at Ariden's Camp (roughly 52, 35), just north of the turn heading east into Swamp of Sorrows. The agent gives you Ariden's Sigil, which can be used to provoke hidden Dark Riders to reveal themselves. You will know you are near a Dark Rider when you gain the buff Dark Presence. Upon killing a Dark Rider you receive a Dalaran Relic — you need 7 relics from 7 different Dark Riders.

Recommended order: (1) Deadwind Pass (43, 29) - (2) Swamp of Sorrows (69, 28) - (3) Duskwood (22, 51) - (4) The Badlands (58, 54) - (5) Arathi Highlands (60, 40) - (6) The Barrens (52, 36) - (7) Desolace (65, 25). Return to the Dalaran Agent with all 7 relics to claim the Rune.
