SoD Runes

Blizzard Entertainment

Introducing an exciting new change to SoD, Runes allow WoW Classic players to collect and apply new class abilities directly to their equipment. Players will receive their first rune fairly early into the Season of Discovery, around level 2. As promised during BlizzCon, the game won't provide explicit guidance, encouraging players to explore on their own. In the initial 1-25 leveling bracket, each class will have 12 runes. Two-handed Enhancement Shaman rune will be available soon.

Next SoD Level Band

Moving into the next level band, from 25 to 40 lvl.

Josh Greenfield shares that the Blizzard team has been attentive to the feedback received after Blizzcon regarding World of Warcraft Classic. The Blackfathom Deeps Raid, though seemingly easy during its showcase at the convention, will pose a greater challenge upon Season of Discovery's release. The rewards are also increased for the initial level band.

Next Raid

Prepare for the next Season of Discovery raid at Gnomeregan, starting at level 40.
