Each class in the World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery has 12 different runes to collect that change gameplay in refreshing ways. To start using the new content, you need to find each one around the open world, and I have all the locations in this guide.
WoW SoD: All Hunter Rune Locations Listed
On top of there being 12 runes to collect, each one has entirely different requirements before you can obtain it. Even the race of your character will determine how you can collect some of these runes, so there isn’t a singular location in many cases. However, the locations are guaranteed, and I have them all listed below.
Chimera Shot Rune
- Night Elf – Complete “A Hunter’s Strength” in Tedrassil.
- Tauren – Complete “A Hunter’s Strength” in Mulgore.

Carve Rune
- Tauren – Tame a Prairie Dog with Prairie Dog Musk. Take it to Takoda Sunmane in Bloodhoof Village.

- Night Elf – Tame a Deer with Deer Musk. Bring it to Darnassus near the Hunter Trainer.
- Dwarf – Tame a Rabbit with Rabbit Musk. Bring it to Toby at Amberstill Ranch.
These will all take you some time to earn, so it doesn’t hurt to pace yourself with the grind and get the runes as you get closer to level 25. But if you really want to complete a build, then you have all the locations you need.
Once you reach level 25, make sure you have some Silver saved up for a respec on your character if needed in World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery.
