All WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 Druid Rune locations

Modified Jul 12, 2024 18:21 IST

WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 has begun, and the race is on to find all the Druid runes. As a very popular class, it’s one that was completely unlocked on just the first day of the servers being open. It’s worth pointing out that this list only features the new, Phase 4 runes for Druids specifically. The Phase 4 Ring runes will be covered separately, as they affect a variety of classes.

If you’re all caught up through Phase 3, you can jump right in to begin the search for WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 Druid Runes. Even if you haven’t picked up the Phase 3 ones, it doesn’t really matter. That said, you should - just to have as many options as possible. As a final word of caution, these may not be the only methods to unlocking these runes. They are merely the solutions we’ve found.

All Druid runes in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4

1) Improved Swipe

“Swipe nearby enemies, inflicting 250% weapon damage and generating 1 combo point on your current target.”

Improved Swipe is a very easy Rune to get for WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 Druids - provided they’re lucky. You need to head to Un’goro Crater and kill Venomhide Ravasaurs until the Idol of the Huntress drops. These are found in groups on the eastern side of the map. They will not be hard to spot.

Once you’ve done this, equip the Idol and kill 5 Sleeping Ravasaurs while in Cat Form. Complete this, and use the idol to unlock this powerful rune for your melee combat in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4.

2) Tree of Life

“Shapeshift into the Tree of Life. While in this form you increase healing received by 10% for all party members within 45 yards, Wild Growth healing is increased by 60%, your heal over time spells cost 20% less, you gain 25% increased Spirit, you gain 200% increased armor, and you cannot cast harmful spells. The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of Polymorph and Movement Impairing effects.

Tree of Life promises to be an incredibly powerful Druid Rune in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. If you want it, you need to head to Northern Felwood and speak to the Vengeful Wisp (46, 19). It will start following you around at this point.

Head north into Jadefire Run, Kill Satyrs until you see the blue Shimmering Light buff appear among your other buffs. You may need to be in the center of the encampment as well. Once you have the Blue Shimmering Light buff, speak to the Vengeful Wisp again, who will drop the Rune for you to claim in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4.

3) Starfall

"You summon a flurry of stars from the sky over 10 sec, striking targets within 30 yards of your location, each dealing 68.612 to 80.544 Arcane damage to its target and 11.932 Arcane damage to all other enemies within 5 yards. Maximum 20 stars. Shapeshifting or mounting cancels the effect. Any effect which causes you to lose control of your character will suppress the Starfall effect. Benefits from and triggers most talents and effects that trigger or benefit from Moonfire."

If you want the powerful Starfall Rune, you’re going to need to kill an Elite for it - Arcterris, an Elite Owlbear that resides in Winterspring. Go north of Everlook, in the Hidden Grove - near (63, 18). You can get there a few ways. You can head into a cave at (64.8, 19.40) and kill your way through a series of Level 56 Moonkin, or you can head to (61.4, 15.6). If you go that route, climb the mountain, drop down onto Arcterris, and fight him.

Though Arcterris is a level 59 Elite, it’s not especially powerful. If you bring a few other players - Druids preferably to get the Rune at the same time - two or three could easily do it as long as someone is healing. All three of these runes were originally revealed ahead of launch in a preview, but now, just a day into the servers being opened, the solutions have been found for these WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 Druid Runes.
