WoW SoD: Phase 2 Warlock Rune&Locations

Time: 2024-02-05 by mmojugg Game: WOW Classic Season Of Discovery Guide

Rune Engraving is a new system in Wow Season of Discovery that allows players to use skills added in future DLCs. It brings a lot of excitement and changes to the gameplay of WoW Classic Vanilla.

Nothing is more remarkable for Warlock players than having access to some of the future DLC skills in the early game. We can combine these new runes in-game to create a new Warlock Build, with a total of 24 runes available so far. This opens up endless possibilities and promises an exhilarating experience.

Follow MMOJUGG as we launch a new series of articles showcasing all the rune effects and locations in the World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 2 for all 9 classes.

This article will provide detailed information on the 6 runes for Warlock and where or how to obtain them. We will keep updating this page with more details about the Warlock Runes and their locations as they become available.

WoW SoD Phase 2 Warlock runes - Engrave Belt - Grimoire of Synergy rune

Rune Effect: Recite from a dark tome, granting damage done by you or your summoned demon a 5% chance to increase the damage done by the other by 5% for 15 sec. Recitation lasts 30 min.

Rune Location: At level 30, you will receive a mail asking you to return to the

Warlock camp located at (49.2 57.2)

in The Barrens. Upon arrival, you will meet

Raszel Ander

, who will give you a new quest called "A Solid Foundation." Additionally, you will be provided with an invisibility potion. To proceed with the quest, head to

Bough Shadow

near the

Ysondre World Boss area

in Ashenvale. Use the provided invisibility potion to get around two level 60 elites. You will come across a lootable tree where you can get the

Bough of Shadows

. Once you have acquired the Bough of Shadows, return to Raszel Ander. However, note that you will suffer from stacking shadow dot damage that will eventually kill you. To mitigate the damage, use

Shadow Ward and Healing spells

to help you survive. Remember that the dot scales with your maximum health, so it's best to avoid rez sickness as it increases the frequency of your deaths and wastes more time. The next step involves picking up the Soul Vessel. You can get this by crafting it using the Goblin Engineering skill. You will need the following materials to craft the Soul Vessel:

4x Shadowgem, 1x Demonic Figurine, and 1x Black Vitriol.

Shadowgems are common drops from low-level mobs and mining, and you can also purchase them from different

Reagent vendors

. However, finding Black Vitriol is tricky as it is a rare drop from high-level mining. Once you have the Soul Vessel, go to

Mannoroc Coven

, located in southern Desolace (54 80), and turn it in to receive the Grimoire of Synergy Rune.
