Here, you will find detailed information about all Paladin Runes and locations available, with new Rune guide updates for SoD Phase 5.

If “What are Runes in SoD?” and “Where to get all Paladin Runes in SoD?” are your questions, then you are in the right place.

Runes are a new gameplay mechanic in WoW Classic Season of Discovery. They offer additional spells and abilities, allowing you to transform the playstyle of your character’s class. Runes can be found in the open world. The acquisition methods vary based on your character’s race and faction.

There are 12 Runes for each class in Phase 1, 6 to 7 Runes in Phase 2, 6 to 7 Runes in Phase 3, 3 Runes in Phase 4, and 1 to 2 Runes in Phase 5. Previously, we have discussed all SoD Mage Runes and their locations. You can check it out here:

And now, it’s Paladin’s time! Below is the complete list of Paladin Runes in Season of Discovery, how to get them, their locations, and even coordinates for your convenience. 

Special thanks to the WoW community, and especially our readers at WowVendor, for the invaluable contribution in uncovering the Runes and generously sharing the methods of acquiring them with the whole gaming community.

All Paladin Runes in Season of Discovery Phase 5

New Paladin Runes

In Season of Discovery Phase 5, Paladins get two new ring Runes: the Rune of Meditation Specialization and Rune of Healing Specialization. For details on how to get them, check out our dedicated guide:

Also, unlocking specific Runes has become simpler thanks to Pix Xizzix, who now sells special bind-on-account emblems for 5x Tarnished Undermine Real each (this currency has a cap of 150 and can be earned from Onyxia, Azuregos, and Lord Kazzak). To get these emblems, you’ll need to complete shared discoveries like Dark Riders, Wild Gods, Ley Lines, or Illari Duskfeather.

Once you buy an emblem, you can send it to an alt character, who can then trade it at a Rune Broker in their faction’s city for a class-specific Rune. As a Paladin, you can use these emblems to purchase the following Runes from the Rune Brokers:

• Rune of Infusions: Costs 1x Emblem of the Violet Eye (becomes available once the Dark Riders questline is completed)
• Rune of Warfare: Costs 1x Emblem of Dishonor (becomes available once the Illari Duskfeather questline is completed)
• Rune of Improved Sanctuary: Costs 1x Emblem of the Wild Gods (becomes available once the Wild Gods questline is completed)
• Rune of Purifying Power: Costs 1x Emblem of the Worldcore (becomes available once the Leylines questline is completed)

You can find the Rune Brokers at these locations:

1. Alliance:

• Stormwind: Cut-Throat Alley at [57.5, 26.9]
• Ironforge: The Forlorn Cavern at [53.0, 12.8]

2. Horde:

• Orgrimmar: Cleft of Shadows at [49.5, 46.0]
• Thunder Bluff: The Spirit Rise at [22.8, 13.8]

Other Rune changes

In Season of Discovery Phase 5, the Paladin Runes and Spell Book have been updated, along with new ways to obtain them. We’ve also updated our guide with these changes:

• Exorcist is now called Aura Mastery. Instead of learning it as a Rune, you now unlock it with a Skill Book.
• Seal of Martyrdom becomes Divine Light. It is learned through a Skill Book instead of a Rune.
• Horn of Lordaeron is now permanently replaced by Hallowed Ground
