World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Runecarving and Legendary Crafting Guide
Master Shadowlands legendaries with this guide to runecarving, soul ash, base items, missives, and powerful runecarver memories.
Stepping into Shadowlands brings a whole new set of systems to master, and few are as essential as runecarving and legendary crafting. Whether you're chasing cutting-edge damage in raids or just want your character to feel more powerful in everyday content, legendaries play a huge role. The process can seem a little overwhelming at first, especially with unique materials, the mysterious Runecarver, and so many class-specific choices to think about. If you’re looking to make sense of how it all works—and figure out the smartest way to craft the legendary item that really suits your playstyle—you’re not alone. Understanding the basics of runecarving, where to start, and what decisions actually matter will save you plenty of time and help you get the most out of your adventures in the Shadowlands.
Who is the Runecarver?
Deep beneath Torghast, at the very heart of the Maw, sits the Runecarver—a titan-sized figure shrouded in chains and mystery. While he looks intimidating, this ancient entity isn’t an enemy. Instead, he’s your ticket to customizing gear with legendary powers in Shadowlands. Lore-wise, he’s pivotal: imprisoned by the Jailer, his memories are scattered, and your interactions with him slowly unveil pieces of his past. But for most players, the Runecarver is all about unlocking legendary potential.
Unlocking the Runecarver
You can’t use the Runecarver right out of the portal. Early on, questlines in Torghast guide you to his cell. After a few introductory runs, you’ll be asked to retrieve and deliver 'Soul Ash' and other resources—a sort of initiation before his crafting services open up. Once completed, you’ll gain access to the Runecarver’s Chamber. Here’s what you need to get started:
- Complete the introductory Torghast quest chain (usually appears around level 60 or with your first visit to the Maw)
- Gather a small amount of Soul Ash
- Progress the “Chains of Domination” campaign later on to upgrade him further via the “Runecarver’s Memory” questline
The Runecarver’s Chamber: Layout and Functions
Inside his chamber, you’ll spot a big gloom-forged anvil. This interface is where all the magic happens. The area itself is simple, with only the Runecarver, the crafting table, and your Legendcrafting interface. There’s a forge on one side—the room is more about function than flair.
You’ll interact with the Runecarver directly for three main tasks:
- Crafting Legendaries
- Upgrading Existing Legendaries
- Learning New Legendary Powers
Crafting Legendary Items
Required Materials
Before you start, you’ll need a specific list of materials:
- Base Item: Crafted by professions (Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, or Jewelcrafting) — it determines the slot (helmet, ring, cloak, etc.)
- Legendary Power Memory: These drop from raids, dungeons, quests, PvP, Torghast, and World Bosses. Collect them to unlock new options.
- Soul Ash/Soul Cinders/Cosmic Flux: Earned mostly by running Torghast, with rarer resources like Soul Cinders and Cosmic Flux needed for higher item levels.
- Missives: Crafted by Scribes, these let you choose prioritized secondary stats like Crit, Haste, Mastery, or Versatility.
How It Works
At the Runecarver's forge:
- Add Your Base Item: Drag it to the slot in the UI.
- Select a Power: Pick from the Legendary Memories you’ve collected.
- Stat Selection: Insert two Missives for your top secondary stats.
- Material Check: The UI will show if you’re missing any required Soul Ash/Cinders/Flux.
- Forge and Pay: Hit craft—the Runecarver animates, and your legendary appears!
Note: You can only equip one Shadowlands legendary at a time until patch 9.2, where select classes can use two (if one is their Covenant-specific legendary).
Upgrading Legendaries
Upgrading happens at the same spot, and feels a lot like making your first one:
- Requirements: Same legendary item, corresponding upgraded base item, and more crafting currencies (Soul Ash, Soul Cinders, Cosmic Flux).
- The Runecarver keeps your legendary power and stat choices intact. You only need the new base item of higher rank and enough currency.
This makes it painless to keep your item level up-to-date as you gain more resources throughout the expansion.
Learning New Legendary Powers
Unlocking new legendaries is all about collecting 'Memory' items for your class and spec. Check your Adventure Guide (Shift + J) for hints on where to find them—raids, dungeons, World Quests, PvP chests, even Castle Nathria bosses. Once found, bring the Memory to the Runecarver to unlock new powers permanently on your account, opening up more choices for crafting.
Tips for Efficient Use
- Plan Ahead: Study which legendary shines for your spec. Some are better for PvP, some for raids, and others for Mythic+.
- Resource Management: Save your Soul Ash and Soul Cinders for the right legendary, not just the first you can afford.
- Don’t Rush: With limited resources, crafting the most optimal legendary will pay off down the road.
Lore Snapshot: Why the Runecarver Matters
The Runecarver isn’t just a crafting tool; he’s tied to the core story of Shadowlands. He’s revealed to be the Primus, the ancient leader of Maldraxxus, with a tragic backstory intertwined with the Jailer’s plans. As players help him recover fragments of his memory, more about the origins of runecarving, domination magic, and even some of the greatest threats to the realms of Death gets revealed piece by piece. Progressing his quests opens up new room features and deeper context for the legendary magic you’re wielding.
Wrapping Up
The Runecarver offers a straightforward path to some of the strongest gear in Shadowlands. With the right preparation—knowing which legendary to target, managing your crafting mats, and collecting those all-important Memories—you’ll make the most out of your time in Torghast and beyond. Working with the Runecarver isn’t just about getting good loot; it’s a unique intersection of gameplay and story that sits at the heart of Shadowlands content.
Soul Ash Guide
Soul Ash isn’t just another currency in Shadowlands — it’s your main ticket to legendary crafting and upgrades. If you’re hoping to deck out your character with the best gear from the Runecarver, understanding how Soul Ash works, where to get it, and how to use it is key. Here’s the complete breakdown.
What Is Soul Ash?
Soul Ash is a special currency introduced in Shadowlands, used mostly for making and upgrading legendary items at the Runecarver. Think of it as your legendary crafting budget — it limits how quickly you can make new legendaries or bump up their item levels. You’ll see it listed in your currency tab, and you can only use it at the Runecarver’s forge.
How to Earn Soul Ash
You’ll earn Soul Ash mainly by running Torghast, the Tower of the Damned. After the introductory questlines, Torghast opens up with multiple cell blocks (called 'wings'), and each wing offers a batch of Soul Ash when completed.
Torghast Wings
- Two Wings Per Week: Each week, two wings are available, rotating between six possibilities.
- Four Layer System (per Wing): Each wing has 12 layers, but Soul Ash is only handed out for layers 1–8.
- One-Time Rewards: You get Soul Ash the first time you clear a layer each week — running the same layer again doesn’t give more.
- Cumulative Rewards: If you clear a higher layer (say, Layer 6), you automatically receive the rewards for all lower layers in one go.
Weekly Soul Ash Cap
You can max out your weekly Soul Ash by clearing both open wings up to the highest layer you can manage. The higher the layer, the bigger the payout — but each layer is tougher, so be ready for a challenge. Early in Shadowlands, finishing both wings at Layer 8 means around 1,140 Soul Ash per week, but this number was increased in later patches and with the addition of the Twisting Corridors.
Twisting Corridors
- Twisting Corridors is an endless mode for Torghast, but its main rewards are cosmetics and mounts, not Soul Ash (except for a one-time lump sum).
- Don’t grind Twisting Corridors for more Soul Ash — stick to the standard wings.
Bonus Sources
Occasionally, you'll get small amounts of Soul Ash from some campaign quests or special packs in Torghast if you’re lucky, but these are rare. Focus on your weekly clears for reliable income.
How Much Soul Ash Does Legendary Crafting Require?
The cost goes up as you make higher quality legendaries. Here’s the breakdown:
- Rank 1 (Item Level 190): 1,250 Soul Ash
- Rank 2 (iLvl 210): 2,000 Soul Ash
- Rank 3 (iLvl 225): 3,200 Soul Ash
- Rank 4 (iLvl 235): 5,150 Soul Ash
These numbers are total costs, not just the upgrade price. To upgrade, you pay the difference from your current rank up to the higher one. So if you’re boosting a Rank 1 to Rank 2, it’s 750 more Soul Ash (2,000 minus 1,250).
The endgame currencies — Soul Cinders and Cosmic Flux — will come into play for upgrading to Rank 5 and above, but those aren’t covered by Soul Ash alone.
How to Spend Soul Ash Wisely
It can take a couple of weeks to earn enough Soul Ash for your first legendary, especially if you’re just starting. Here are some tips to stretch your Soul Ash budget:
- Wait for the Right Memory: Don’t spend Soul Ash as soon as you have enough. Make sure you’ve found the right legendary power for your chosen playstyle or role.
- Focus on One Legendary at a Time: Players sometimes make the mistake of crafting multiple low-rank legendaries. It's smarter to make one and then upgrade it.
- Don’t Over-upgrade Starter Legendaries: Early choices might be replaced by better options later, so consider waiting before leveling up a legendary past Rank 2 unless you’re committed.
Can You Farm More Soul Ash?
Soul Ash has a weekly cap and can’t be endlessly farmed, by design. If you miss a previous week, don’t panic — the system lets you catch up (called “backfill”), so you get rewards for layers you haven’t cleared in previous weeks.
For example: If you unlock Layer 8 for the first time in week 5, the game grants you all Soul Ash from layers you missed, so your progress stays on track.
Alt Character Soul Ash Catch-Up
Shadowlands makes it easier to gear up alts—when you unlock higher Torghast layers on your main, those levels automatically open for your alts. Plus, in patch 9.1 and later, you can send Soul Ash to alts via tradeable items purchased from Bonesmith Heirmir in Korthia. This helps squad up your roster faster.
Soul Ash PvP and Raiding
Unlike previous expansions, you won’t find Soul Ash in dungeons, raids, or PvP. Torghast is the only reliable way. So you’ll want to factor in these runs as part of your weekly routine, no matter your main game mode.
Upgrading vs. Crafting New Legendaries
Since upgrading takes less Soul Ash than making two separate legendaries, consider sticking with one core item and ranking it up over time. If your playstyle switches a lot (maybe you bounce between tank/healer/DPS specs), splitting your Soul Ash for two separate legendaries might work, but expect a slower power curve.
Quick Reference Table: Soul Ash Sources and Costs
| Source | Weekly Cap (approximate) | Notes | |------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | Torghast (2 wings, 8 layers) | 1,140–1, 20 | Depends on patch & wing | | Intro Quests | ~500–900 (one-time) | Mostly at level 60/Maw intro | | Twisting Corridors | ~ ,000 (one-time) | Only rewarded once for clearing layer 8 |
| Legendary Rank | Total Soul Ash Needed | |----------------|----------------------| | 1 | 1,250 | | 2 | 2,000 | | | ,200 | | 4 | 5,150 |
Final Tips
- Prioritize the legendary that’s best for your class and content.
- Don’t stress if you fall behind — the catch-up system is forgiving.
- Run Torghast every week to reach your cap, and check the Adventure Guide for which wings are open.
- Make use of the “Send Soul Ash to Alts” option once available for easier gearing.
Soul Ash might seem like one more grind at first, but it’s actually pretty chill once you find your routine. With a little patience and good planning, gearing up through the Runecarver can feel rewarding — and you’ll always know exactly how close you are to your next legendary upgrade. Before you can craft a legendary in Shadowlands, you’ll need more than just Soul Ash. One of the most important pieces is the base item. If you’re confused by what “base item” means or unsure where to find one, you’re not alone—this section breaks it all down in plain English.
What Are Base Items?
Base items are the blank templates that legendary effects are built on in Shadowlands. Think of them like the “chassis” for your future legendary. They look like normal crafted gear—helmets, belts, rings, etc.—but have no stats except armor and a couple of secondary stats. These items have no special power on their own, but you can’t make a legendary without them.
They come in four ranks, which line up to the four legendary ranks you can craft (Rank 1 through Rank 4). Higher ranks cost more gold but result in a higher item level for your legendary.
Base Item Types and Slots
There’s a base item for every legendary-eligible slot:
- Helm
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Waist (Belt)
- Legs (Pants)
- Feet (Boots)
- Bracers
- Gloves
- Cloak (Back)
- Neck
- Ring
You’ll need the right base item for the slot you want to equip your legendary in. For example, if your best legendary is a ring, you must buy or craft a base ring.
How to Get Base Items
Buying From the Auction House
Most players buy their base items from the Auction House (AH). Crafters in professions constantly post base items for sale, and prices can vary wildly by server, time of day, and rank.
- Check your Auction House: Search for “Shadowghast” (Plate), “Umbrahide” (Leather), “Boneshatter” (Mail), “Grim-Veiled” (Cloth), and “Shadowghast” for jewelry.
- Watch prices: Early in expansions or after big patches, prices spike, but they usually come down over time. Check for deals before buying, unless you need it fast.
Crafting Your Own
If you have a max-level profession—Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, or Jewelcrafting—you can make your own base items. This takes time, gold, and a bit of grinding.
- Profession Requirements: Each type of armor or jewelry needs a specific crafting profession. You can only craft base items of the slots you can usually make (e.g., blacksmiths can’t craft cloaks).
- Templates and Training: You’ll have to train the base item patterns from your profession’s trainer in Oribos, and then craft a lot of lower-rank base items to unlock the higher ranks.
- Material Costs: Making base gear can cost a lot of Laestrite Ore, Heavy Callous Hide, or other Shadowlands mats, plus a special priceless material called Orboreal Shards (bought only from vendors for gold).
Trading With Other Players
If you have friends with professions, sometimes they’ll craft a base item for you (you just reimburse the mats and a little gold for their time). This can save a ton of gold compared to the AH.
Understanding Base Item Ranks
Each base item rank sets the potential item level of your completed legendary:
| Rank | Legendary Item Level | Base Item Name Prefix | |------|---------------------|------------------------| | 1 | 190 | [None] / “Shadowghast” | | 2 | 210 | “Shadowghast” | | | 225 | “Shadowghast” | | 4 | 2 5 | “Shadowghast” |
(Replace “Shadowghast” above with the relevant armor or slot type.)
You need the matching rank base item to craft or upgrade a legendary. You can’t upgrade a Rank 1 base item to a Rank 4—each time you craft, you must get the right rank.
For example: If you want a Rank 3 legendary (225 ilvl), you’ll need a Rank 3 base item and pay the Soul Ash for Rank 3. If you only have a Rank 1 base item, you’ll only create a Rank 1 legendary.
Why Are Base Items So Expensive?
Making base items takes a lot of materials and cash. Crafters also need to “level up” their recipes by making dozens (sometimes hundreds) of the lower-rank versions. That’s why these are usually the biggest gold sink in the legendary system.
If gold is tight, wait to buy your base item until prices settle, or ask friends or your guild for help with crafting. Don’t forget: buying a base item off the AH gives you no benefit over a friend’s crafted version—they’re identical.
Tips for Buying and Using Base Items
- Double-check your slot and rank. Nothing feels worse than blowing 50k gold on the wrong piece.
- Check with your guild first. Many guild crafters will make you a base item at cost, undercutting market prices.
- You don’t need secondary stats on base items. These stats are fixed; they can be changed slightly with optional reagents but aren’t as important as with other crafted gear.
- Buy all your base items in one go if you’re prepping legendaries for multiple specs. Sometimes sellers discount bundles.
- Don’t buy a Rank 4 base item if you’re making a low-rank legendary. You must match the base item’s rank to your crafting plan.
Recap & Quick Checklist
- ✔️ Base items are blank templates, crafted or bought.
- ✔️ Buy/craft the right slot and rank for your legendary.
- ✔️ You need one base item per legendary.
- ✔️ Base items are often the most expensive part of a legendary.
- ✔️ Craft your own or ask friends/guild to save gold.
With the right base item in hand, and enough Soul Ash, you’re all set for the next step: Runecarving and imbuing your item with legendary power. Don’t let the sticker price scare you—shopping smart or networking with crafters can help you get your legendary at a fair price. Missives are a vital piece of the legendary crafting puzzle in Shadowlands, and sometimes they’re the part that stumps players the most. They decide which secondary stats your legendary will have and often make the difference between a piece that’s just okay versus one that’s perfect for your build. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Missives?
Missives are optional reagents used in legendary crafting that allow you to pick your legendary’s secondary stats. Every legendary item in Shadowlands comes with two secondary stats (for example, Haste and Mastery), and missives let you pick which two from the four available to your class:
- Haste
- Critical Strike
- Mastery
- Versatility
You’ll need to pick two different stats—doubling up isn’t allowed. The stats you choose with your missives are locked in once you craft the legendary, so choose wisely. Whatever stats you put in with the missives, that’s what you get… unless you decide to craft or upgrade a brand new legendary later.
How Many Missives Do You Need?
Every time you craft or upgrade a legendary, you need to provide two missives—one for each stat. For example, if you want your legendary to have Haste and Versatility, you need to bring a Missive of Haste and a Missive of Versatility to the Runecarver.
- Crafting a Rank 1, 2, 3, or 4 legendary: Always two missives per craft
- Upgrading your legendary to a new rank: Bring two new missives
Stats from missives are fixed at crafting, but you can change them by recrafting at a higher rank—just bring the new missives you want.
Where to Get Missives
From Inscription
Missives are created by players with the Inscription profession. Scribes can craft them using various Shadowlands herbs and materials, like Death Blossoms and Umbral Ink. There is a separate missive for every stat:
- Missive of Haste
- Missive of Mastery
- Missive of Versatility
- Missive of Critical Strike
To craft each missive, Scribes need vendor-sold items and common Shadowlands herb-based inks. If you’re an Inscriptionist, check your profession window for the recipe. Recipes are available from trainers in Oribos right from the start of Shadowlands.
Buying Missives
If you aren’t a Scribe, you’ll need to buy them—either directly from other players or (most often) at the Auction House. Prices tend to be pretty reasonable since herbs are plentiful, and nearly every realm has competition driving costs down.
- Pro tip: Check prices at different times to save gold. Buy ahead in bulk if you’ll need more for future legendaries.
Getting Help from Guildmates
If someone in your guild or friend circle has Inscription, ask if they’ll craft missives for you. They’ll often do it at cost, especially if you bring the materials.
Which Stat Missives Should You Use?
This depends entirely on your class and spec. Some specs love Haste and Mastery, others swear by Crit and Versatility. Double-check priority stats for your character using guides on sites like Icy Veins or Wowhead before committing.
- You can’t pick the same stat twice. If your top stat is Haste, you still need to choose a second different stat (e.g., Crit/Haste).
- Choices are permanent for that legendary rank. If you want different stats later, you’ll need to recraft the legendary at a new rank with new missives.
Stat Priority Tips
- DPS specs: Usually want the two highest DPS-increasing stats
- Tanks: Sometimes want stats for defense (Versatility, Mastery) and stats for offense (Haste, Crit)
- Healers: Healer stat priority can be nuanced—ask your guild or check a trusted guide
How To Add Missives at the Runecarver
Here’s how the process works step-by-step:
- Gather your materials: Base item (correct slot and rank), the two missives you want, required quantity of Soul Ash (or Soul Cinders/Flux for higher ranks), and the Legendary power.
- Go to the Runecarver’s Chamber (Torghast’s basement in the Maw).
- Place your base item in the box.
- Add your chosen legendary Power (from Memory).
- Insert your first missive (e.g., Missive of Haste) in the first stat slot.
- Insert your second missive (e.g., Missive of Mastery) in the second stat slot.
- Add Soul Ash.
- Review everything carefully—stat missives, rank, power.
- Click the crafting button to forge your legendary.
Once it’s made, you can’t change the stats unless you craft a fresh legendary, so double-check before confirming.
Upgrading and Changing Stat Missives
When upgrading a legendary (say, from Rank 1 to Rank 2), you get another shot at picking new stats! This means if you realize you picked the wrong ones or your stat priorities change, you can fix it at higher ranks.
- Bring new missives for each upgrade if you want different stats.
- The cost in Soul Ash and gold increases with higher ranks, so plan ahead if you’re likely to want a change soon.
Missive Quick Tips
- Always bring two different missives. You won’t be able to finish crafting otherwise.
- Check stat priorities for your class and role before buying.
- Guild Scribes can save you gold versus buying on the AH.
- Plan ahead if you’re likely to respec or swap specs, as stats can’t be changed after crafting.
Summary
Missives give you the power to choose exactly which stats go on your legendary. You’ll need two for every legendary craft or upgrade. Check your class guides for the best stats, always double-check your choices, and grab your missives from a Scribe or the auction house for gold if you don’t make them yourself. That way, your legendary is truly legendary—made just right for your character.
Memory of the Runecarver Guide
Memories are the heart of Runecarving in Shadowlands. These collectible powers let you create powerful legendary items tailored to your class and playstyle. But tracking down Memories and figuring out what to do with them can get confusing fast. Let’s break down what Memories are, how you get them, and how they plug into the Legendary crafting process.
What Are Memories of the Runecarver?
Memories of the Runecarver, usually just called “Memories,” unlock Legendary Powers for your character. Each one is tied to a legendary effect—like Raging Vesper Vortex for Paladins or Doom Winds for Shamans. When you collect a Memory, your character learns that specific power and can use it to craft legendries at the Runecarver.
- One memory = one unique legendary effect
- These powers are usually class or spec-specific, though a few are available to any class
- You only need to collect a Memory once; it’s unlocked for every legendary craft after that
Where to Find Memories
Blizzard put Memories all over the Shadowlands, tucked into raid bosses, dungeons, reputation vendors, covenant activities, and rare mobs. Here’s how to track them:
Dungeons & Raids
A big chunk of class powers drop from specific Shadowlands dungeons and raid bosses. For instance:
- Dungeons: Each has a set list of potential Memory drops, often from the last boss.
- Raids: Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones drop Memories mostly on Normal difficulty and above—but a few drop on LFR (Looking for Raid) too.
If you don’t know which boss drops your memory, check your Adventure Guide (Shift+J). It lets you highlight which bosses drop which legendaries for your spec.
Reputation Vendors
Some Memories require friendly relations—literally. As you build rep with factions like The Avowed or The Ascended, vendors sell specific Memories once you hit a certain rep level and have enough gold or anima.
Covenant Activities
Covenant-specific Memories drop from campaign quests, World Quests, or by hitting a certain renown milestone. Some powers work only if you’re a member of that covenant.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
Randomization is the name of the game in Torghast. Some Memories come as drops or are rewards for finishing certain Wings or Layers for the first time. Keep an eye out for achievement popups—you may get a Memory just by running new content on your main.
World Bosses
Every week one of the Shadowlands World Bosses will be active, and many of them have a shot at giving you a Memory. Check wowhead.com's weekly world boss tracker or just mouse over the boss's loot table to see if your power is there.
Miscellaneous and Other Activities
- PvP vendors sell a few Memories for Conquest points.
- Some are tied to campaign progression or even achievements.
How to Check Which Memories You Have
Open your Adventure Guide and click the “Powers” tab (top right). This view shows:
- Which Memories your class can use
- Which ones you’ve already collected (highlighted)
- Where to find missing ones (location shown on each slot)
If you get lost, that Adventure Guide is your best friend for tracking down missing Legendary Powers.
What to Do With a Memory
So you looted a Memory—what’s next?
- Learn the Memory: Right-click the item in your bag. This permanently unlocks the power for your character. Once learned, it’s added to your Runecarver’s chamber interface.
- Visit the Runecarver: Head to Torghast’s basement (the Runecarver’s Chamber).
- Insert Your Power: During crafting, the Legendary Power slot fills from your unlocked Memories. Just pick the power you want during the Runecarving process.
You never need to turn in or use the physical item again after learning it, and you can craft as many legendaries as you want from a single Memory (one per character at a time, per slot).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I loot a duplicate Memory?
You can’t relearn a Memory you already know. If you pick up a dupe, it turns into 35 Soul Ash.
Q: Can I farm Memories repeatedly?
Many boss drops and Torghast rewards are locked to one attempt per week, per character. Some vendor Memories are account or covenant locked—double-check before grinding alts.
Q: Is there a “best” Legendary to craft?
There’s no universal answer—it changes with your class, spec, content, and patch. Reference class guides for advice, but don’t stress; you can always craft a different Legendary as you get more Soul Ash.
Q: Are all Memories equally easy to get?
Some are much trickier than others—certain raid and mythic dungeon drops can be stubborn. If your best-in-slot Memory is buried behind a tough end-boss or high rep grind, set up a schedule or hunt during bonus event weeks.
Tips for Collecting Memories Efficiently
- Check your current stat priorities and available Powers before focusing your farm; prioritize memories that will actually make a difference for you.
- Group up for tough dungeons or raids, as many Memories only drop from the final boss.
- Don’t sleep on Torghast layers or weekly world bosses—even casual players get a steady stream of new Memories by participating.
- Coordinate with guildies or friends for faster dungeon runs during Memory hunt weeks.
Wrapping Up
Memories of the Runecarver unlock the real potential of Shadowlands legendaries by letting you choose effects matched to your class and goals. Keep an eye on your Adventure Guide, plan your farm around the Powers you want most, and remember that collecting them is half the journey. The real fun starts when you see those first spells light up your new legendary gear.
