How to Get the Static Shock 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
As of an October 2024 hotfix, this rune no longer requires more than one player to obtain.
To begin, activate the Charged Totem in the southeast ogre area of Feralas around (60, 66) that gives a Charged Air buff when clicked.
Stand near the totem and deal damage to nearby mobs with nature damage (Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, or Lightning Shield) so you get the Static Buildup buff. (Although you can do this alone now, bringing multiple Shamans may make it easier.)
Once you have accumulated enough stacks of the buff, a level 44 Whirling Tempest elemental will appear at a random location nearby. Kill this mob to get the rune.
Some tips:
- One of the most reliable methods so far has been Lightning Shield charges — Lightning Shield has 3 stacks, and each time you get hit a charge is spent and an enemy takes a small amount of damage.
- However, since the Lightning Bolt rank 1 has a short cast time, it may also be easier to just spam it instead.
- The spawning of the elemental is a bit unreliable: continue following the outlined steps and dealing nature damage. Out of all discovered options, the Lightning Shield approach seems to be the most dependable.
