How to Get the Crimson Tempest Rune
As of Phase 6, all runes and skill books can be purchased from Rune Brokers in starting zones and major cities for 1 copper a piece. Each of these vendors is simply named “Rune Broker” and can be easily spotted by their purple glow, lurking very close to where new characters enter the game. You can see all of their locations in our guide below.
Original Discovery Method
To get the Crimson Tempest rune, find your way to Hearthglen, the undead city/town in the northern part of Western Plaguelands and kill or pick pocket Scarlet Workers until you receive a Toolbox Key.
Go to the smithy, a building in Hearthglen proper, and loot the Rusty Crowbar from a Scarlet Toolbox (45, 14).
Travel to the top of the south tower, around 45, 19 and indicated by (1), and use your crowbar on the Marked Crate at the top to loot a Hidden Bundle, which has a Safe Box Key inside.
Now, go to the tower across from you, around 47, 14 as indicated by (2), and loot Belavus’ Safe Box on the middle level of the tower to get your Rune of the Crimson Tempest.
