How to Get the Power Surge 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 this Rune you will need to kill level 33-34 ogres in the cave at 35, 44 in Arathi Highlands. Keep killing until one of them drops an Ogre Lightning Rod (roughly 10% drop rate).
Head to the hill on top of the cave and use the Ogre Lightning Rod in the Soft Soil you find there. Note that you don’t need to find your own rod, and you can just be in the same party as someone who has found one and activated it at the top of the hill.
Cast Lightning Bolt on the Lightning Rod 10 times and a level 37 Elite named Tam’kar will spawn. Do not run away from this fight as you will not get the reward. You do not need to kill Tam’kar, you simply need to survive for a certain amount of time. Eventually he will die on his own, rewarding you with the Rune of Power Surge. (You will at least need to hit him once to loot the rune.)
