Where to find Warlock Metamorphosis Rune

Thankfully, unlocking the Warlock Metamorphosis Rune is actually pretty easy. The process is the same regardless of race and faction, so this applies to every Warlock. First, you need to head to the Tower of Ilgalar in the Redridge Mountains and acquire the Orb of Des item at the top of the tower. Then, visit the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore. At the top of that tower, you will find the Bought of Altek item.

With the Bough of Altek and Orb of Des, you must now head to the coordinates 49,57 in The Barrens, where you can grab a quest called The Orb of Soran’ruk. This quest sends you to the Shadowfang Keep dungeon to collect 3 Soran’ruk Fragments followed by the Blackfathom Deeps to obtain the Large Soran’ruk Fragment. Then head back to turn in The Orb of Soran’ruk quest.

Afterward, you will receive the follow-up quest The Conjuring. For this quest, you must head to northern Ashenval, specifically the Demon Fall Ridge area. Killing demons in this area will cause them to drop the Blood of the Legion, which you need ten of to complete the quest. With the ten Blood of the Legion in hand, interact with the Altar to begin a summoning ritual. Several waves of demons will attack, which you must defeat using Drain Soul while also standing in the purple rune that is now on the ground. The final wave will be a Searing Infernal, which upon defeat will grant you the Mysterious Traveler quest.

Head back to The Barrens and turn in the quest to receive Raszel Ander, which gives you the Warlock Metamorphosis Rune.

Now that you know how to unlock Warlock Metamorphosis Rune in WoW Season of Discovery, you can become a tank Warlock. The rune allows you to take on the Metamorphosis form which replaces your abilities with threat-generating abilities as well as increasing your armor, reducing your chance to be crit, and increasing your mana gained from Life Tap.
