How to Get the Shadow Specialization 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

The Shadow Specialization rune can be obtained by visiting the Tainted Scar in Blasted Lands and locating an altar by a statue (33, 48). You’ll see a book there that you can click to learn the rune.
