How to Get the Ancestral Guidance Rune

The method of discovering this rune is shared with the Druid’s Lifebloom Rune and the Priest’s Prayer of Mending Rune. You will need to group with a Shaman, Druid, or Priest to complete it.

To get the Ancestral Guidance rune, you will need to be grouped with another character that is capable of healing. This can be a Druid, a Priest, or another Shaman. (Mages don’t work for this, even with healing runes.)

Head into Kolkar Crag through a pass in the hills southwest of Sen’jin Village in Durotar. You can expect to encounter some hostile level 6-8 centaurs here. Look for a corpse called Adventurer’s Remains under a tree at the far end of the canyon, around 48.0, 79.5. If someone has recently used it, you may need to wait for it to respawn.

Click on it and select “Begin the ritual.” A summoning portal will appear which your partner needs to click on to help summon an Adventurer’s Spirit. Loot it to get an Echo of the Ancestors, which you can right-click to learn the rune. You must be at least level 3 to use the item.

Head to the Venture Co. Mine entrance at 60.0, 36.0 in northeast Mulgore. It’s up on a hill. You’ll likely have to fight several miners around level 8-10 as you pass through.

Take a left at the first opportunity and then take a right. Follow the tracks across a short bridge. On the other side, take another left, and you’ll cross a second bridge. This will take you to the mine’s exit.

Exit the mine and go right, down the hill to an area with some tents and fallen trees. Look for a corpse called Adventurer’s Remains around 60, 33. If someone has recently used it, you may need to wait for it to respawn. Click on it and select “Begin the ritual.” A summoning portal will appear which your partner needs to click on to help summon an Adventurer’s Spirit. Loot an Echo of the Ancestors from the spirit and right-click it to learn the rune. You must be at least level 3 to use the item.
