WoW Classic SoD Paladin Runes 

In WoW Classic Season of Discovery, Paladins have access to various runes which are a powerful new system allowing stronger and more varied playstyles to the game. These runes can be found in different locations and require specific quests or tasks to obtain.

- There are three types of paladin runes - Retribution, Protection, and Holy. Each enhances the corresponding paladin specialization.

- Retribution runes increase damage dealt when socketed. Protection runes enhance defensive abilities and survivability. Holy runes improve healing capacity and support magic.

- Paladins can socket one rune of each type across eligible armor slots. Common slots include helms, shoulders and weapon hilts.

- Sources to obtain paladin runes include target boss disenchanting in select expansion raids and dungeons. Retribution runes drop from Hellfire Citadel. Protection runes from Blackrock Depths. Holy runes in Scholomance.

- Rune effects are passive bonuses and do not replace or alter existing talent builds. They simply amplify a paladin's performance in their chosen role.

- Popular retribution rune builds focus on maximizing strike damage. Protection runes see use for all paladin tank spec variations. Holy runes increase healing throughput.

- Acquiring multiple runes of the same type allows for hybrid support/DPS builds by slotting different rune combinations.

WoW SoD Paladin Runes Spots - Where to Find Paladin Runes in WoW Season of Discovery?

Here are some of the Paladin runes and their locations in WoW Classic Season of Discovery. We go over the first four that you can find as a Paladin in the human starter area.

SoD Paladin Runes Location 1 - Crusader Strike

The first one is very easy as it is in your starter area and you are given it as a quest. Crusader strike is great early damage and it also recovers Mana. So head to your class trainer, they'll tell you to go find a stolen libram. So head over the river to where the deflas are in the big Vineyard and defeat a bunch of those until they drop the libram.  You equip the librum and it gives you a mini quest to use your seal 10 times.  So cast a seal and then use judgment on 10 different enemies or 10 times and that will fully charge the libram.  And then just use the librum again while it's equipped and that will turn into the Crusader strike Rune that you can then equip.

SoD Paladin Runes Location 2 - Inspiration Exemplar

The next one we need to head into Elwynn Forest itself and this is inspiring Exemplar. This is a spell that dispels fear and sleep on nearby party members. 

- For this, you head over to the hill near Gerrard's Landing which is south of Elwynn Forest and you're looking for some remains on the ground. These despawn after someone uses them, so if you head here and you don't find them, just hang around this hill and eventually it'll spawn. 

- Once the ruins spawn, you just click on them and it spawns a portal. For this, you need a second Paladin or apparently a Priest can help as well to help channel this portal. 

- So once you have a paladin friend or a priest friend, you party up and you channel this portal, defeat the spirit and you get the rune. 

SoD Paladin Runes Location 3 - Aegis

Aegis is a defensive rune for tanks that increases the block value and your chance to block. 

- To get this, you need to go to your class trainer at level 8 and learn cleanse. Then head to the Jasper load mines, you can do this as part of the quest that takes you there or you can just head there yourself later on. 

- And you head all the way to the back, so past all the Cobalts to the back where the spiders are.

- Once you get to the spider area, you head up the left path and there should be a injured Adventure like a poisoned Adventurer.

- If he's gone, someone's already used it, someone's already cleansed him and if you get there and he's like recovered, someone's already done it. So you need to wait for like that quest to time out and the adventurer to disappear and then for him to respawn poisoned. 

- As soon as he spawns, you need to cleanse him and then he'll thank you and that's when you get your reward.

SoD Paladin Runes Location 4 - Rebuke

This is very good for a Paladin early on, it's an interrupt for spellcasting and it also prevents spell casting for two seconds. Giving us basically two spell interrupts at level 10 with our stun. 

- So to get this, you head into Stormwind and go to the park section of the map.

- Head into the bar and talk to the bartender who will tell you there's a drunk bothering them and disrupting their business, offer to help as the good Paladin you are and then go to the right side from the door. 

- So as you come in turn right and that corner of the room is where the drunk will spawn. If someone's already beat him recently, he won't be there, so just hang around, he'll respawn and then go talk to him. Start the fight and then beat him. 

- Once he's defeated, go back to the bartender, talk to them, and get your reward. If you find someone already fighting them and try and join them that doesn't work, you have to talk to them yourself. That's the only way to pass this.
