How to Get the Penance Rune

This is the first rune you’ll be able to pick up, and you’ll do so through a quest in your race’s starting zone. Unlike other Priest runes, this rune can only be obtained in your race’s starting zone. You won’t be able to complete the quest in other starting zones.

Dwarves

To obtain the Penance rune, you must first reach level 2. Then you’ll be able to pick up the quest Hallowed Rune from Sten Stoutarm at Coldridge Valley in Dun Morogh. This quest is optional and will send you up the hill to Anvilmar to see your Priest Trainer, Branstock Khalder (28.6, 66.4).

Branstock Khalder offers the quest Meditation on the Light. Once you have the quest, head southwest to the Trogg camp, where you’ll find a Rockjaw Footlocker at (26.7, 72.6). Loot the Memory of a Troubled Acolyte from this chest, then return to Anvilmar and go back to the room where you found Branstock.

Using this item requires a Priest Meditation. To get yours, kneel at the nearby Altar of the Light by typing /kneel in chat and hitting enter. Wait a moment to get the Meditation on the Light buff, then right-click the item you got earlier to learn the rune. You can then open your character window and click on the rune in the right pane and click on the gloves you want to apply it to. Penance will appear in your Spellbook and can be used like any other ability.

Humans

To obtain the Penance rune, you must first reach level 2. Then you’ll be able to pick up the quest Meditation on the Light from Priestess Anetta at Northshire Abbey in Elwynn Forest (49.8, 39.5). Just hug the left wall after you enter, go past the stairs, and you’ll find her in the back of the library.

Once you have the quest, head to the Echo Ridge Mine to the north and kill Kobold Laborers there until one drops a Memory of a Troubled Acolyte.

Using this item requires a Priest Meditation. To get yours, return to Northshire Abbey and go inside, then type /kneel into the chat box and press enter. Once you have the Meditation on the Light buff, you can right-click the Memory in your inventory to learn the rune. You can then open your character window and click on the rune in the right pane and click on the gloves you want to apply it to. Penance will appear in your Spellbook and can be used like any other ability.

Night Elves

To obtain the Penance rune, you must first reach level 2. Then you’ll be able to pick up the Meditation on Elune quest from Shandra, the Priest Trainer on the top floor of the big building in Shadowglen in Teldrassil (59.2, 40.4).

Once you have the quest, head to the moonwell to the north. Stand in it and type /kneel into the chatbox, then hit enter. After kneeling for a bit, you’ll get the Mediation on Elune buff and receive a Memory of a Troubled Acolyte in your inventory. Right-click this item in your bag to learn the rune. You can then open your character window and click on the rune in the right pane and click on the gloves you want to apply it to. Penance will appear in your Spellbook and can be used like any other ability.

Trolls

To obtain the Penance rune, you must first reach level 2. Then you’ll be able to pick up the quest Wisdom of the Loa from Ken’jai, the Priest Trainer just outside The Den in the Valley of Trials in Durotar (42.4, 68.8)

Once you have the quest, head east to Shen’jin Village, and type /kneel while in front of the Loa Altar (55.4, 72.7). The Serpent Loa will appear, and you can talk to it and ask for its blessing. It will give you the Meditation on the Loa buff and a Memory of a Troubled Acolyte. Right-click this item in your bag to learn the rune. You can then open your character window and click on the rune in the right pane and click on the gloves you want to apply it to. Penance will appear in your Spellbook and can be used like any other ability.

Undead

To obtain the Penance rune, you must first reach level 2. Then you’ll be able to pick up the quest Meditation on Undeath from Dark Cleric Duesten, the Priest Trainer in Deathknell (31, 66).

This quest will send you to the graveyard just outside, where you must type /kneel into the chat box to make your character kneel. If you do this in a place where you have the Chill of the Grave buff, you will receive the Meditation on Undeath buff. You’ll then be able to use the Memory of a Troubled Acolyte item in your bag to learn your rune. You can then open your character window and click on the rune in the right pane and click on the gloves you want to apply it to. Penance will appear in your Spellbook and can be used like any other ability.
