As stated in the title it seems the aforementioned Rune seems to be missing. I have finished all possible solo shiny collections and gotten the counterpart Bloodbound Rune of the Tainted Blade. I would like confirmation if it is indeed missing or dropping somewhere else. Kind regards, Eufelia
Ideally we would want these two runes merged so that it has both spells and combat art effect on one. Its only half effective for hybrid classes. thanks
Bump for this. Did all the overland collections, not from there but ended up with the CA one. Can we get a response about this rune? Nothing in patch notes either.
Got a response to the request: According to Accendo -> Word from the team is the item is in game and you haven't gotten to the part where it drops just yet. One of the lead designers is adamantly saying he specifically ensured it was in game and there to be discovered.
What I don't understand is that at the time of the award we didn't have the choice between whispering or tainted as it was done in previous expansions. The mages are not at the party on this extension it is demoralizing
You haven't had the 'choice between' them in several expansions. The reward is in game, but the place it is rewarded is too deep in progression and the dev team has stated they are looking at moving to an earlier point to make it more accessible and at an even playing field with the physical version.
Something, something, raid mobs or some such I think? That said, I guess they don't want to combine them so that hybrid classes don't have jsut half their stuff benifiting from one or the other.
This item is in game, however the Bloodbound Rune of the Tainted Blade was added significantly earlier in the progression then it should have been. We have moved the Bloodbound Rune of Withering from it's progression place and placed it in a more comparable location for the next patch.
