Despair Rune Guide – Season of Discovery

Where to Find the Despair Rune in Season of Discovery (SoD)

This guide will cover how to get the Despair Rune for Priests in Season of Discovery. We’ll go over all of the locations and requirements in the walkthrough below as well as any useful tips and tricks.

How to Get the Despair Rune

To get the Despair rune you must be at least level 45, or you will not be able to loot the items required.

You or someone in your group will need to use a Scroll of Geomancy or a Worldcore Fragment on each of four Leyline Confluxes in different zones.

You will need 4 Scrolls or Fragments in total to get the rune, but you can loot the items in a group, so it may be wise to group with other players so no one needs to contribute all 4 items. You can even do this in a raid group. This discovery is also needed by Mages for their Displacement Rune, Paladins for their Purifying Power Rune, and Warlocks for the Backdraft Rune.

When someone uses the item at a Leyline Conflux they will summon an Enraged Leywalker, a level 47 elite that you must kill to loot a Leycryst. Here are the locations and the items you must loot from them:

You need to deal at least one point of damage to the Leywalker, or you will not be able to loot it. If someone has recently summoned the Leywalker, you may need to wait a few minutes for the Conflux to respawn.

When you have collected all 4 Leycrysts, you will be able to combine them to learn the rune.

Scroll of Spatial Mending is not usable on the Leyline Confluxe

It is meant to be used on Fel Portals (aka fel tears, fel rifts, etc.). The Fel Portals are what the warlocks use for their Imp exploration. I purchased the Scrolls of Spatial Mending off the AH for 10g a pop and used two of them so far on the rifts. I didn’t get a Worldcore Fragment, but got other worthless loot. So it doesn’t appear to be a guaranteed drop.
