Rune Discoveries Not Available on Season of Discovery PTR - No Spoilers for Discovery Steps
Blizzard has ensured that there will be no spoilers for how to find new Runes in the Season of Discovery Phase 4 PTR — all we'll know is the names and Rune abilities!
Testing Focus
The focus of our first round of PTR is to evaluate level 60 classes with all runes available and an initial round of class and rune adjustments. Please note that we do not currently consider any class to be in its “final” state and expect many classes to continue to change throughout the PTR process, and we are eager for class feedback as we move forward towards the release of Phase 4. Please note that while new raid content, rune discoveries, and most other new content (including new dungeon drops) will not be available, the Sunken Temple as well as all normal dungeons will be available should you wish to test dungeon runs or the previous raids with the current round of class adjustments.
Players have been incredibly vocal about their desire to enter Season of Discovery phases with as few spoilers as possible. Part of the fun, after all, is in the discovery — and many were worried that a PTR would ruin that fun for the much-anticipated phase launch. This worry is unfounded, however — at least in the case of Runes.
While players can check their Rune journals to see many of the new Back Runes for their classes, along with the effects they will have, not all Runes are implemented yet, so check back in frequently; we'll have the latest and greatest Rune information as soon as we find out more!
