In order to complete this Rune, Paladins will need to have completed the  Fanaticism Rune beforehand – take a look at our guide to complete the steps up to the starting point for  Hammer of the Righteous!

Once players have obtained  Fanaticism, they will need to begin the quest  Materials of Significance.

• First, head to Felwood at (/way 43 57). There, you’ll find a climbable rope that leads you to Aeonas. Speak with him, exhausting all dialogue, then speak to Gregory. Once his dialogue is exhausted, he will offer the quest  Materials of Significance.
• You’ll then need to gather the materials specified:

  •  Fiery Infernal Core – these can be found by killing Infernals and Entropic Beasts in Shatter Scar Vale north of Bloodvenom Falls.
  •  Shimmering Grave Dust – this can be acquired from looting  Shimmering Grave Dust after defeating Princess Theradras in Maraudon.
  •  Triple-Brewed Molten Lager – you’ll need 2 50 to purchase this from Plugger Spazzring in the Grim Guzzler bar inside Blackrock Depths.
  •  Symbol of Faith – this item can be found in Southshore at (/way 67 14).
• Once all items have been gathered, return to Gregory to turn in the quest and acquire this Rune.

This Rune requires Friendly reputation with Emerald Wardens. Once you are Friendly, check in with an Emerald Wardens Quartermaster and purchase your Rune for 1 60.

• Quartermaster Kyleen
• Quartermaster Valdane
• Quartermaster Falinar
• Quartermaster Alandra

• Channel into 4 Ley Crystals scattered around the world. You need 1 material to channel per crystal (4 total). You can use the  Worldcore Fragments found from Imp explorations, or a mage in your party can use  Scroll of Geomancy:
  
  

  • Feralas: The High Wilderness, /way 57 60
  • Hinterlands: North of the Altar of Zul, /way 48 59
  • Azshara: Southwestern mountains near The Forlorn Ridge, /way 22 79
  • Searing Gorge: /way 55 65
• Closing each Fel Portal spawns an Enraged Leywalker, a level 47 arcane elemental — naturally, it is immune to Arcane damage. These are challenging fights even at level 50; bring a group if possible. Depending on which zone you are in, you’ll receive a separate Leycryst item after defeating the Enraged Leywalker:

  • Azshara:  Azshara Leycryst
  • Hinterlands:  Hinterlands Leycryst
  • Feralas:  Feralas Leycryst
  • Searing Gorge:  Blackrock Leycryst
• Once you’ve collected one of each Leycryst, combine them all to learn this Rune.

You must have completed the Sheath of Light Rune for Aeonas the Vindicated to show up. In addition, you must complete this Rune before you can open up the quest line for the Hammer of the Righteous Rune.

1. In the Stormwind Cathedral, speak to Aeonas the Vindicated, then speak to Katherine the Pure. You’ll then receive the quest  The Mysterious Merchant, which directs you to Theramore.
   
   
2. Inside the Theramore Inn, talk to the paladin Elrick and turn in  The Mysterious Merchant. Pick up the quest  Elrick, Paladin of the Silver Hand by talking to Elrick. He fights you along with his crony, a Stern-faced Bar Patron. Kill him, and he drops a  Bloody Missive. Click it to start the the quest  The Bloody Missive, directing you back to Katherine the Pure.
   
   Group Options:
   Only one person in a group can loot the  Bloody Missive directly from Elrick. If there are other Paladins in the group, they can obtain extra copies of the  Bloody Missive from the Innkeeper. Click it and start  The Bloody Missive.
   
   
   
3. Return to Stormwind Cathedral and turn in the quest to Katherine the Pure and receive the  Fanaticism ability.

• Pick up the quest  The Wild Gods from Shadowtooth Emissary in Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood, /way 51.5 82. This initial quest is not shareable; everyone will need to pick it up for themselves.
  
  
• Only one player in a group needs to have done this step: Go to Jinth’Alor in the Hinterlands. Kill elite trolls to obtain  Wildwhisper Draught.
  
  
• Go to Razorfen Downs and clear the area around Amnennar the Coldbringer. Drink  Wildwhisper Draught to spawn Spirit of Agamaggan. Speak to him to get a quest and  Agamaggan’s Roar. Only one player needs to drink the draught to spawn him.
  
  
• You can either do all three Dungeons for variety, or you can do multiple runs on the same dungeon. There is no difference between the  Wild Offering drops among the three mobs. Since  Wild Offering also becomes a currency (see Tips below), you will want to farm more of these anyway.
  
  In each of these three Dungeons related to this Rune, you will need to kill specific mobs in to spawn a ghostly mob.
  
  This ghostly mob can be killed once per Dungeon lockout, meaning resetting the same Dungeon and running it again is a valid strategy. When you trigger the conditions for the ghostly mob, you get a chat emote “You feel a shadowed presence”. Use  Agamaggan’s Roar near the ghostly mob; this makes a level 52 elite called the Delirious Ancient turn hostile. Each Ancient drops 1x  Wild Offering:
  
  

  • Zul’Farrak: Clear any three bosses to spawn a Ghostly Spider to summon Delirious Ancient.
  • Maraudon: Clear Princess Theradras area and spawn a Ghostly Raptor to summon Delirious Ancient. The Ghostly Raptor is in the water on the upper level near the turtles; do NOT jump down for it.
  • Blackrock Depths: Kill all three boss encounters — High Interrogator Gerstahn, Houndmaster Grebmar, and the Ring of Law event — to spawn a Ghostly Basilisk on the Dark Iron Highway (road to Bael’gar) to summon Delirious Ancient.
• Once you have collected all three  Wild Offerings, return to Shadowtooth Emissary to collect your Rune.

Feralas

You’ll need to save Frix Xizzix in Feralas to get this rune. The difficulty is getting to him.

You need to get teleported up to the platform near Wirdal Wondergear, /way 84.2 43.8. You can do this one of two ways:

1. If you’ve completed the quest  Quadrangulation from the phase 2 crafting quest line, you use the teleporter in Booty Bay, /way 27.6 77.4
2. There is also a teleporter in Feralas at the foot of the Peak at /way 85.3, 43.6. You do not need to have completed a quest to use this one.

Once you’re up near Wirdel, across the valley you can spot a Crashed Flying Machine on a pillar to the northwest, at around /way 81 42. There isn’t a clear way up it. Here’s where things get tricky: you’re going to have to get a serious knock-back to fly to the peak the hard way.

In your Reputation window, set ‘Gadgetzan’ to “at War”. Prepare to attack one of the three mechanical pets called Tower Defense Automaton, but get yourself into position first.

Go to the end of the ledge closest to the pillar. Aim your back toward the pillar.

The Dragon version of the Tower Defense Automaton will path nearby. Attack it and it knocks you back (sometimes it will slap you around a little bit first, so be prepared). When you get knocked back, you will also get Silenced.

If you get knocked back and miss, you WILL fall and die, because the Silence will prevent you from casting your bubble. You may wish to remove your armor to avoid repair bills. Return to the teleporter at the foot of the peak to try again if this happens, /way 85.3, 43.6 .

Not far to the crashed and burning flying machine, you’ll Frix Xizzix, who is is at 30% health.

Heal him until you get the spell effect “ Feeling much better, thank you!” and he stands up. He thanks you for the save, but wonders how he’s going to get down and asks you for one of your “fancy bubble blessing things”. You will get a dialogue option “Touch Frix and impart your blessing of protection on him.” He thanks you and directs you to visit his brother in Booty Bay.

Go to Booty Bay to see Rix Xizzix <Lost and Found>, /way 28.4 75.8. This is the NPC that will restore lost trinkets, but this time he also has the  Rune of Grace available for 1.

The target mob only spawns between certain times. There is question as to what the exact hour range it is; players have reported getting it after 9 PM server time, but there is question as to how long the spawn time goes. It may only go to 3 AM; it may go as long as 6 AM. Please report your success times below.

1. In the Hinterlands, Paladins should find and kill a Vengeful Spirit by using  Sense Undead, /way 33 44, near Quel’Danil Lodge. The Vengeful Spirit is level 45 but not Elite.
   
   
2. Once you defeat Vengeful Spirit, travel to Ironforge and speak with Magister Falath in the Mystic Ward, /way 27.2 10.0. Select the available dialogue option, and you will receive the Rune.
