Rogue Runes from SoD Phase 3

All Runes in Phase 3 have the same location for both Alliance and Horde.

Cut to the Chase 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.

Carnage Rune

Rogues should travel to the Blasted Lands at /way 45.3 16.4, Dreadmaul Hold.

Climb the tower at this location, and at the top you will find an Abandoned Cache requiring Lockpicking skill 225. Unlocking this lockbox spawns a level 46 Draenei Murderous Lost One, which rewards the Rune of Carnage on death.

Unfair Advantage Rune

Head to Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris (/way 71 45). While there, Pick Pocket Southsea Pirates and Southsea Freebooters until you get a Kidnapper’s Coin Purse. Open it and get the Precious Medallion.

Next, bring the Precious Medallion to Jabbey in Steamwheedle Port (/way 67 22). Here, you’ll be able to exchange the Precious Medallion for the Rune.

Combat Potency Rune

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.

Focused Attacks Rune

Head to the Hinterlands to ruins at /way 72.0, 53.0.
A small chest sits in front of an alter, guarded by a Vilebranch Mask.
Blind the Vilebranch Mask and loot the chest for your Rune of Focus.

- Ascend the pyramid and loot the Spellbound War Chest to get the Talisman of Kazdor.
