How to Get the Pandemic 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
In Feralas, you’ll need to find two dead mobs, loot them, then use the items you find to create a staff. That staff can be used on a Treant, who will drop the rune when you kill it.
First, go to the hills in the center of the zone (68, 54), and follow the torches up the mountain. At the top, you’ll see a cave. Continue to the right and follow the edge of the mountain to find the Dead Diseased Woodpaw Mystic. Loot his Woodpaw Bag (66.4, 50.1) to get a Broken Woodpaw Staff.
Next, head north-northeast to (69, 43) and find the Dead Diseased Grimtotem Shaman under a tree. Loot his Grimtotem Chest for a Grimtotem Necklace, then combine the two items you’ve found to create the Diseased Nature Staff.
Go to (72.4, 50.1) to find the Diseased Forest Walker, and use the staff you created on the mob, then kill it — the forest walker will drop the rune upon death.
