How to Get the Overcharged 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.

Rune Broker Locations

Original Discovery Method

You need to be at least level 45 to pick up the quests required for this rune.

First, you will need to complete four “Answering Calls” — you will need to collect 4 sets of Shaman’s Notes and their corresponding Sapta items at different locations, and use each Sapta before you kill the zone’s Spirit Rock:

Smudged Shaman’s Notes (Tanaris)

• Smudged Shaman’s Notes will drop from Blisterpaw Hyenas in Tanaris. Hyenas are very prevalent in the zone, especially towards the center of the map. The notes will start the quest Purging Earth.
• Once you have the quest, find the Spirit Rock in the hills south of Caverns of Time (62, 64) and use the Earth Sapta. Kill the Corrupt Moderate Manifestation of Earth that spawn (a level 45-46 elemental).
• Turn in the quest to pick up Answering Earth’s Call.

Charred Shaman’s Notes (Searing Gorge)

• Charred Shaman’s Notes will drop from Magma Elementals in Searing Gorge. Magma Elementals are a common mob throughout the zone. These notes begin the quest Purifying Fire.
• Once you have the quest, head to the Spirit Rock in the southwest hills (24.2, 72.8) and use the Fire Sapta. Kill the Corrupt Moderate Manifestation of Fire that spawns (a level 47-48 elemental).
• Turn in the quest to pick up Answering Fire’s Call.

Torn Shaman’s Notes (The Hinterlands)

• Torn Shaman’s Notes will drop from Green Sludge in the central area of The Hinterlands (see the map below). The notes will give you the quest Clarifying Air.
• Once you have the quest, head to the Spirit Rock in the same area (51.0, 46.9) and use the Air Sapta. Kill the Corrupt Moderate Manifestation of Air that spawns (a level 46-47 elemental).
• Turn in the quest to pick up Answering Air’s Call.

Waterlogged Shaman’s Notes (Azshara)

• Waterlogged Shaman’s Notes will drop from Haldarr Tricksters in Azshara. You will find them near the temple ruins in the western portion of the zone (see the map below). These notes will start the quest Cleansing Water.
• Once you have the quest, head to the Spirit Rock in the northwest hills (14.8, 46.9), and use the Water Sapta. Kill the Corrupt Moderate Manifestation of Water that spawns (a level 44-45 elemental).
• Turn in the quest to pick up Answering Water’s Call.

Now, you need to head to the west coast of Feralas to kill Sea Elemental and Sea Spray water elementals — they should be easy to find both on the northern and the southern shoreline. These elementals will drop Elemental Essence. You will need to collect 12 of them in total.

Then, turn in your four Answering Call quests in the hills on the northeast shore of Feralas (35, 32). Completing this step will spawn a Twilight Dark Shaman (a level 50 Elite). Kill him to loot the Overcharged Rune.
