Nightmare Incursions Friendly Reputation Grants Each Class a Rune - Season of Discovery

Recently the entire Fallout series got a huge popularity boost, and Fallout: New Vegas is no exception, as the title currently has hit an all-time peak of 36,633 concurrent players on Steam. This heightened interest coincides with the debut of Amazon's Fallout TV Series earlier this April, which has garnered an overwhelmingly positive reception from audiences and critics alike. This, in turn, has prompted many gamers to revisit their favorite games in the post-apocalyptic franchise, or perhaps experience them for the very first time.

Classic Senior Game Producer Josh Greenfield took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to ask for feedback regarding upcoming class changes in Season of Discovery. Greenfield, better known as Aggrend, stated that the Season of Discovery team has been hard at work listening and attempting to respond to player feedback, and further feedback on changes would be welcome as the team attempts to adjust balance ahead of Phase 4.

As players continue to clear the 20-player Sunken Temple raid, they've started to notice that they're receiving fewer pieces of loot than in previous Phases. While each boss is dropping more pieces of loot, the increase in player requirement as well as a change to the lockout cadence is leaving players wondering if the development team made a mistake. Players have taken to Reddit, Twitter, and the Official Forums to share their feedback about the Sunken Temple loot situation. One commenter even broke it down and suggested that the Sunken Temple bosses should be dropping up to 10 pieces of loot in order to compensate for the number of players per raid and weekly lockout.

Players looking to self-fund their Elixirs and Potions might be interested in the Nightmare Resonance Crystal, a reward from the Emerald Wardens at Exalted. This crystal allows players to pick herbs in Nightmare Incursions without Herbalism — and possibly receive rare gear drops as well! So far, players have confirmed finding Resonating Nightmare Bloom nodes in the Ashenvale incursion, but it's theorized that the Nightmare Resonance Crystal will function similarly in all incursions.

With Light's Grace finally found in Phase 3 Season of Discovery, players have discovered all locations of the new Class Runes! The Wowhead team has been working hard to update all of our guides to reflect the latest discoveries. Now that every rune from Phase 3 has been discovered, you can use Wowhead's guides to collect them all!Light's Grace proved to be the most elusive Rune yet across all phases, taking a full seven days to be discovered. This is a drastic change from Phase 1 and 2, where virtually everything was discovered in the first 24 — 48 hours — this one was a doozy! Involving a crashed rocket, an ornery mechanical and a Goblin with a rather familiar name, Light's Grace was certainly well hidden — but now you can read the full steps on how to find it in our Light's Grace Rune Guide! A massive thank you to all of our community members who have helped us by leaving comments and uploading data via the Wowhead Client. We are continually updating and refining our guides to be more specific and accurate, so keep checking back!

After noting that players heavily preferred to level in Nightmare Incursions, instead of exploring Azeroth or running dungeons, an attempt to promote these other methods has been made. The experience from Incursions has been significantly nerfed — from roughly 7000 experience per quest all the way down to 3000 according to a recent Reddit post. Despite the hopes that buffing Discoverer's Delight from 50% to a new 75% would make the two methods roughly on par, this change does seem to have hit Incursions particularly hard, potentially dethroning them as the fastest leveling option.

The Ace of Nightmares has finally been found, just in time for the Darkmoon Faire to go live tomorrow! The most elusive of the new Phase 3 Darkmoon Faire cards, the Ace of Nightmares is an integral part of the turn-in for the Darkmoon Card: Torment, a new trinket available as of Phase 3 of Season of Discovery. Up until now, no one had reported the location of this card's holder — but, on the eve of the Darkmoon Faire, Wowhead user Rfivealive555 reported that the card drops from Dreamscythe and Weaver in the new Sunken Temple raid! The four new Darkmoon Decks debuting in Phase 3 provide several powerful trinkets after turning them in, including Darkmoon Card: Torment and Darkmoon Card: Sandstorm. With the discovery of the Ace of Nightmares, all the important Ace cards have now been found — so you can theoretically grab the trinket you want this Darkmoon Faire!

It's day three of Phase 3 in Season of Discovery, and almost every Rune has been found — but some have trickier information to find than others. We've been hard at work scouring the database, user comments, and digging around in Season of Discovery to bring you the discovery steps for the newest Runes, but some have still eluded us — take a look! Our Rune coverage has brought us to all corners of Azeroth, and only one elusive Rune now remains unsolved — the Rune of Light's Grace for Paladins. This Rune teaches the Light's Grace spell, reducing the cast time of Holy Light, and unfortunately, there aren't many leads on its location. The running theory is that this Rune is somehow related to the datamined NPC Injured Gnome, but this mysterious Knight is nowhere to be found — at least, not yet. We don't know for certain that this NPC is connected to the Rune, but the name is suggestive since Light's Grace is a healing spell. Aside from Light's Grace, some Runes have spotty information associated with them. While we know the broad strokes of how to find and earn these Runes, the finer details have eluded us — things such as NPC names, complete coordinates, or in some situations bugs associated with them that make earning them more difficult:

In the first week of Phase 3, Blizzard has observed that players are favoring Nightmare Incursions over other forms of leveling. In order to make additional leveling methods more competitive, Blizzard has announced that they will be increasing the experience buff of Discoverer's Delight and reducing the amount of experience earned from Nightmare Incursions early next week. Nightmare Incursions Overview Guide
