Each new season of World of Warcraft introduces new ways to upgrade your characters. Magic-using classes have welcomed the Runes, so here are the locations of all the Mage runes in WoW Season of Discovery.
All Mage Runes Locations in WoW Season of Discovery
World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery introduced Runes as a way to upgrade your characters above level 40. Runes brought some major change in power hierarchy, making classes like Hunter the most powerful. Mages who were powerful from the start gained serious power with new Runes. Now, let's see what Mage Runes are and where to find them.
