Rune Brokers have now been added to all starting areas in Season of Discovery as a special holiday gift to players from the developers! These mysterious vendors can now be found very close to where you spawn in each race’s starting zone, and they sell every single rune in the game for a mere 1 copper each. These runes can be purchased immediately at level 1 and should make leveling easier than ever.
Also included in the hotfix are increased drop rates for Hive Thistle for Herbalism as well as Small Obsidian Shards and Large Obsidian Shards for Mining. There are also a couple of fixes to the Twin Emperors fight in the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj raid.

Season of Discovery
- Added a Rune Broker vendor to every starting area. This vendor will provide access to all class runes at level 1.
- Developers’ notes: Some discoveries in the game world may not function properly if you learn the related rune ability from items purchased on this vendor.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Ring Specialization runes from being available on Rune Brokers.
- Increased the drop rates of Hive Thistle, Small Obsidian Shards, and Large Obsidian Shards in Silithus and Ahn’Qiraj. Every herb node in Silithus is now guaranteed to have 2-4 Hive Thistle. All Large Obsidian nodes now always have 1-2 Large Obsidian Shards and 3-5 Small Obsidian Shards. All Small Obsidian nodes now always have 2-4 Small Obsidian Shards and a (larger than before) chance of a Large Obsidian Shard.
- Developers’ notes: These changes only apply to new spawns of the nodes, so until every node has been re-spawned, there may still be some that behave as they did before the change.
- Temple of Ahn’Qiraj
- Fixed an issue that caused the Twin Emperors to continue spawning Eye Tentacles after combat had expired.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Twin Emperors to fail to respawn.
