These were used way back when for the Scourge Invasion. They were able to be traded in for parts of sets like
Battle Gear of Undead Slaying
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/itemset=533
Which grants extra attack power and % of damage when fighting undead. Also used to buy other fun knick-knacks from the Argent Dawn.

Kisirani (formerly Caydiem) announced this in the official forums today --

Still have your Necrotic Runes?

No?

Pity....

Apparently they will become useful once again. Stay tuned...

Kisirani, world event designer, hinting strongly that the Necrotic Runes may still be useful.

edit: Bah! Beat to the punch!

Kommentar von Mushanga

These are once again available if you kill undead mobs around Necrotic shards, spread over Azeroth. I wonder what's next in this WoTLK launch event?

Kommentar von TraX

Soloable

1: You get a quest at some argent dawn guys in one of your factions main cities.
2: You go to LHC in eastern plaguelands and take all the quests you can get.
3: Then you look at ur map and check for "under attack" marks in some zones (looks like purple skulls).
4: Then you rush to the area and start scouting for either a huge floating necropolis or a "summoning circle" on the ground.
5: Start killing all the mobs that you see.
6: When u kill a mob the "crystal" in the middle of the summoning circle will take 10 dmg (it has 3k~ hp).

GROUP ONLY

7: When the crystal reach 0 hp, 4 necromancer ish mobs will spawn and start channeling a beam to the crystal (i dont really know if the beam does anything, but its there).
8: click on the mobs and use 8 Necrotic Runes to stop the "mend/channel" thing.
9: An undead wraith/ghost thing with 110k hp spawns, and then you gotta kill it for the group quest which u should have taken if you completed step 2.

i tried soloing it with my lvl 70 rogue, but i only got it to around 70k hp when my evasion was over, and i started kiting the mob. Then i kited it for around 5 minutes while doing 2 bandages, untill some hunter accepted my grp invite and started helping me.

The elite dropped 30 Necrotic Runes

Kommentar von Ecwfrk

The zones susceptible to Scourge attack are:
Azshara, Blasted Lands, Burning Steppes, Eastern Plaguelands, Tanaris, and Winterspring.

The Argent Emissary at Light's Hope Chapel can tell you if a zone is under attack or not.

Kommentar von Venorize

Necrotic Runes also drop from FlameShocker creatuers in Undercity and Stormwind.

Flameshocker (63 Undead Elite)
- Health: 33,310
- Mana: 0
- Effects: Can be CCed by all effects that work against an undead.
- Respawn Timer: 10-15 Minutes Each Spawn

After all the invasion points were defeated on my server it seemed to take about 30 minutes before we got new ones.

Kommentar von Assassinman

You must complete the Under the Shadow quest in order to purchase from the Argent Quartermaster in Light's Hope Chapel - Eastern Plaguelands. To purchase these items you will need Necrotic Runes.

Kommentar von 66863

Necrotic Runes can be used to purchase a variety of trinkets, consumables and other bits of paraphernalia. However, one must complete the quest Under the Shadows, which is obtainable from Commander Thomas Helleran in EPL, before you are able to purchase items in exchange for Runes from the Argent Quartermaster.

Kommentar von jaxsonbateman

Ok, they are, without a doubt, tapped when you summon them. I've just done SIX in two crystals because people were hanging off them, waiting for others to summon them and then trying to tank them, thanks to not many people not knowing this fact. I didn't get first damage on any of those six, and I didn't even touch 3 of them - but I got all 6 loots.

If you use your shards but they aren't tapped to you, all I can think of is someone else doing it a split second before you. Theirs reaches the server first, but your shards were consumed before the server realised someone had higher priority, or something like that. It's definitely possible, like two people turning in the HH summon quest at the same time, consuming both quests, but only getting one summon.

If you don't use your shards but you get the tap, I can think of two reasons. Firstly, the person/team who got the tap died. This is the most logical reason - a solo player doing it, but not being able to handle the shadow's aggro. Alternatively, it's possible that someone attacked it *so* fast that it gave them the tap as it normally would a mob, before the server could even say "this mob belongs to the summoner, player X".

But unless I got extremely lucky by tapping mobs I didn't attack, if you summon it, you tap it.

Edit: I just offered to help a guildie out by doing some invasions with the same strategy. This time, however, when we summoned the shadows, they *did* tap to who damaged them first. I'm not sure why they did this time, and why when I was solo I got the tap even without damaging some of them. It really doesn't make much sense to me - perhaps there's some group mechanic which plays around with it, or it only applies to certain classes, or the hunter pet screwed around with it or... I just don't know. -.- So, sometimes just summoning does tap it; others it doesn't.

Kommentar von 232784

was anyone here duing the old scourge invasion? is this one working the same way or did they change stuff?

Kommentar von 137123

This event is nearly a direct copy of the event that came with the release of Naxramas, only a few matters got adjusted.

Spawn Time : UP to 4 hours. (Used to be far shorter.)
Shard 'Health' : DOWN. (Used to need to kill a lot more until you got to the summoning part.)
Rare Spawn rate : DOWN... (I've seen one in... well, a lot, of killing.)

Kommentar von 228978

Blizzard really should change the drop rate to 50% for these shards. Right now it is pretty much impossible to finish this quest unless you don't mind traveling all over Azeroth for 2 hours to get 10 Necrotic Runes. From my unscientific calculations, right now I'd guess the drop rate is about 20% which really sucks since there are usually 15 to 30 other level 70's waiting around tagging the mobs (and they don't spawn super quickly compared to the amount of players around each shard). I suggest doing this quest very late at night if you want to farm the shards for purple gear at the Argent Quarter Master.

Kommentar von Psychotic

The huge floating thing is a Necropolis, btw. Anyone who has played as the Scourge on WarCraft III will know what they are. To anyone who doesn't know what one is, Necropolis is a Greek term that literally means "City of the Dead". Just as a Metropolis is a Big City (of commonly 500,000 or more people).

In real life, Necropoleis are are large cemeteries or burial places. On WarCraft (and subsequently, World of Warcraft) they are cities full of the Undead Scourge. They are the Town Halls of the Undead Scourge.

On World of Warcraft the raid instance, Naxxramas, is a Necropolis.

Kommentar von b1ackcat

From what I can tell (and from how various posts have been marked negatively), these mobs are SUPPOSED to tag to the player that summoned them. Unfortunately, it seems that due to lag, luck, or a combination of the two, if many many players are spamming a button trying to tag the mob, then that tag attack can occasionally get through before the server designates the tag, resulting in a "stolen" summon.

I for one have had 2 summons stolen from me, and I was also able to grab another one that was summoned by someone else.

Kommentar von 235401

Azshara is a good place to farm these since most people prefers to stay at EPL and is really close to Orgrimmar. 45 mins and got 102. Lucky me got grouped with a nice warrior and Boomkin. killed 5 shadows.

Kommentar von Kabby

Since it hasn't shown up here yet, this is what you can buy with the Necrotic Runes, after completing the Under the Shadow quest. The costs (in Necrotic Runes) are in parentheses.

The remaining pieces of the sets linked above can be found via drops at the invasion sites. Legs for the set pieces drop from the rare spawn mobs (Bone Witch, Lumbering Horror, or Spirit of the Damned), and chest pieces drop from the Shadow of Doom elites.

Kommentar von Bloedhoer

That gear can be disenchanted.
A few hours of scourge killing with a 5 man party, brought us 150 Void Crystals.
That pays off nicely.

Kommentar von Cotytto

Can these be disenchanted?I had someone agree to take these in exchange for helping with the Shadows of Doom.

Just out of curiosity since I'm an engineer/miner I wouldn't benefit anyway.And my enchanter character is only level 23 so I can't test it myself.

Kommentar von heidaro

Are these not obtainable anymore?

Kommentar von Derren

For some ? reasons, invasions is gone and argent dawn quartermaster is still at Light Hope Chapel... Is there another way to get necrotic runes? (would like to get the trinket for my DK)

Kommentar von 247875

Here's an idea: make the scourge invasion a regular thing so that lower level people don't have to suffer because they just started later than everyone else, and have to look on in despair at the high-level that get all this awesome unique gear that won't appear anywhere else, at any other time, and feverishly grind away their time and sanity in a hopeless attempt to meet the quota for obtaining these wondrous artifacts (I myself had my eyes set on the Argent War Horn - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=40492 - and the Argent Banner - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=40601 -) and then have their efforts frustrated overnight as the bigwigs at Blizzard press the magic button and it all goes "poof" and disappears. Instead, if it is a regular thing, with rewards and creep lvl's updated every time, then the people who were too low the last time could participate, and everyone can be happy. Except, maybe, those lore freaks who would argue that "but once Arthas is dead, the Scourge can't invade again!" And speaking of that, has anyone run it yet?

Kommentar von davepoobond

anyone know if there's still a way to redeem Necrotic Runes?

Kommentar von 575804

ok im super noob..... and very blonde. i want the achievement (which is still available) and i want to know if theres any way to get this $%#^ tabard.... the quests arent available, it is LONG after the WOTLK release in fact cat is coming out in a few months..... soooo... is there anyway to get this tabard or am i just holding my breath for something that will never happen again? >.>

Kommentar von Thottbot

where do i find these "necrotic rune"?

Kommentar von Thottbot

You'll get these runes by killing the mobs "attacking" different parts of the world - from level 58-60ish, they drop with like 33-50% dropchance, except from the Shadow of Doom mobs(60 elites with hardcore health and damage), who drop with a 3000% dropchance :)(30 each kill). - To find these mobs look at your worldmap and go to one of the locations marked with a huge skull.

They can be turned in for Gloves with stamina and ATP versus undead, major mana and major healing potions, sharpening stones versus undead and brilliant mana oil vs undead.

.. have fun.

Kommentar von Thottbot

To farm these go to the places that are under attack (you will see shadowbolts coming from the air to some place) follow the bolts.

When u followed it u will see lots of mobs @ highrespawn rate trick is to get a mage and aoe the hell out (remember to heal)

I did it alot and also 2 manned the shadow of doom alot

Shadow of doom costs 8 runes to summon and drops 30 runes.

got about 300 runes now

Kommentar von Thottbot

Once you complete "Under the shadow" or what ever it was called, you can interact with AD dude in LHC & atleast some major cities to trade these runes for Major healing / mana pots, AD tabard, Cloth / Leather / Mail / Plate hand armor with +spelldmg / +AP against undeads.

Can be used for atleast those :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Turn them in as soon as you can, good luck using them when the invasion ends. Our server, the invasion is done, and i have 90 of these things i can't use now

No, you won't be holding them on an alt. They're soulbound. Yet another item that will be sucking up bag space for months.

The above link seems to have expired, i can't view it.

Did it say that the invasion will be a recurring theme, much like the Darkmoon Faire and the Festival of Fire etc.?

I will be holding onto my necrotic runes until i can find that out :)

A CM posted in the thread above, concerning the necrotic rune and the scourge invasion. He says there are curreently no plans to bring back the scourge & the items/turn-in quests which came with the event.
At least no plans he was free to address.
He also points out that the items will probably be usefull sometimes in the future.. maybe ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

This dropped from a lvl 8 mob in that Scourge invasion patch.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does anyone know when the Scougre invasion will happen next? Please tell me. I really want the Argent Dawn tabard.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I bet something will happen in conjunction with the next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, since they are related. But that won't be for a while...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I hope you guys still have your Necrotic Runes.

Something major will be coming up. =P

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just ran across a rp event in wintersprings. Rep is good & drops of these are 33%.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This event sucks. You need to tag a mob first to make it drop a necrotic rune, and you usually have around 30 players around each crystal. It's quite impossible for me to tag a mob. I hope they'll fix this stupid thing already. If they want it to be challenging, let last bosses in heroics drop those necrotic runes too.

There's nothing more annoying than spending 15 mins in EPL then Burning Steppes, trying to hopelessly sw:death a mob before anyone else does.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Confirmed, the scourge are now invading Tanaris, Azshara, Winterspring, Blasted Lands, Burning Steppes and some other location. If you kill the elite you get epic undead slayer armour, only seen the MAIL type atm though. You can purchases argent tabard with the runes, and flag standards and other things. Fierce competition for the mobs, i go to like 3 fps lol, people spam AoE when elites come. GL getting runes haha

Kommentar von Thottbot

join a group guys.. the elite gives everyone who hits him credit when he is killed whether u tag im first or not.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you manage to kill one of the huge black ghost elites solo they drop 30 necrotic runes. Easily soloable by prot/ret pallys and more than likely druids + prot warriors.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The hard part is to get 8 runes. That might take time if you are outnumbered or in a big party. But once you get 8 runes, just goto a necropolis by yourself, find a crystal with a lot of people around it. And when the summoners come out (when the crystal is damaged) talk to him and pay 8 runes to summon the shadow.

The kicker here: When you pay the 8 runes, you automatically get initial aggro (tagging it) and usually there will be a group of people AOE'ing so they will pull aggro on it. You can simply sit back and let the opposing faction do the work for you.

Today I was the only horde on a crystal with maybe 15 alliance around, and i managed to run around and buy all 4 shadows. Cost: 32 runes, payout after they died: 120 runes. HA. So pretty much thats the best way to farm these runes

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok so nobody has said where you can spend these runes yet cause everyone ive talked to says you can buy the undead slayers set and the gear only costs 15 runes a piece i have the chest and pants now where do i get the gloves and shoulders?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Talk to Commander Thomas Helleran.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have to agree with the above poster that grouping is the best way to do this... I have done this with myself (70 priest) and a (70) hunter and we have easily collected more runes than we can use. Once you have the initial few runes, just camp the Shard until the summoners come.
Each and every time we were able to summon and kill at least two of the elites ourselves, resulting in 30 runes each (-8 each to summon).
In several cases, people were killed by elites they summoned and we picked up the aggro, hence, free runes.
Realistically, you only need 38 runes (15 apiece for shoulders and gloves and 8 for tabard, which is a feat of strength achievement). After that, I have no advice for grabbing the elites to get your chest/legs drop, other than play during off-peak hours.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The Argent Dawn Quartermaster where you buy the hands, shoulders and tabard is to the left of Commander Thomas Helleran in LHC EPL. A guy next to him also gives away some freebees (stam buffs, etc).

BTW the best source of the chest/leg drops appears to be the rare mobs that spawn (as opposed to the elite shadows - downed loads of these with only 1 epic drop) - got my legs from a large skeleton mob called a Bone Witch. Tag these as fast as you can.

DS

Kommentar von Thottbot

BTW these epics are DE-able

Kommentar von Thottbot

I started out not knowing what the heck the scourges were lol. When I heard they drop runes to trade in for epics I set out to claim a few. First zone was Blasted Lands, farmed about 22 runes before I found a rare. Here is the information I have compiled since then.

1. These places are usually under attack: Winterspring, Azshara, Tanaris, Eastern Plaguelands, Burning Steppes, and Blasted Lands.

2. Each place consists of two floating towers (not 100% sure), and they shoot out shadow bolts in different directions; there are usually four bolts per tower.

3. Depending on your location, there are 3 different types of mobs ranging from level 69-70. Each of them have a chance to drop a Necrotic Rune, Invader Scourgestone (with your Argent dawn trinket equipped), haunted momento's, and silver.

4. In addition to these spawns, there are 3 rare spawns: Bone Witch, Lumbering Horror, and Spirit of the Damned.

5. Every kill from the mobs will send a white bolt towards a Necrotic Shard in the center of the mobs. This bolt damages the shard causing it to lower it's health. Once the shard is out of health points, 4 engineers will summon (I think they're either repairing it or keeping it from regaining the evilness).

6. When you talk to one of these engineers, it'll ask you for 8 Necrotic Runes to summon a "Shadow of Doom" which is a level 70 elite. These shades drop 30 necrotic runes every kill, silver, and a chance for an epic chest or legging piece.

---------------------------------------------------------------

To start off, you should go to Light's Hope Chapel (LHC) in Eastern Plaguelands and talk to.. Commander Thomas Helleran and pick up the two quests he gives: "Under the Shadow" and "Shadows of Doom".

Find a few buddies to go with you to kill the mobs (Skeletal Shocktrooper, Spectral Soldier, and/or Ghoul Berserker). Once your Necrotic Shard in the middle is down, talk to an engineer to summon a Shadow of Doom. All you really need is a good tank and some DPS (My group consisted of another hunter and a rogue, my dino tank'd rawr!)

Farm some Necrotic runes to spend at the quartermaster in LHC after you turn in the Shadows of Doom quest. He sells various items, look him up, but mainly epic and blue item shoulders & gloves.

If you're looking for the chest and legging pieces to finish your set, simply go hunt rares for the leggings; most of them drop fast. The chest pieces are a tad bit harder to obtain, try killing Shadows of Dooms b/c they seem to have more of a chance than rares since once you see rare it's gone since they're sought after.

Have fun and good luck !

Kommentar von Thottbot

if you're out there farming the scourge just for reep & giggles cuz you don't need the gear- all the epics that drop from the rares & the ITEMS you can buy w/ these from Argent vendor are DISENCHANTABLE = free voids drop rate is great made over 50shards in maybe 2hrs of farming

Kommentar von Thottbot

Seems like they got rid of the NPC's to turn these in now. I can't find one anymore.

Kommentar von Thottbot

No use for these whatsoever at all any more. However I'm keeping mine because you can never get them again. Call me a packrat.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i wish the invasion would come back annually...i had fun fighting in SW harbor....its like raiding without being in a raid group...although i do think Blizz oughta buff up the mobs cuz they went down quickly (even the dragons went down quickly with only a handful of mages, hunters and locks on them...)

Kommentar von Thottbot

what are these battle u guys are talking about ? only been playing wow for 2 months and i would realy like to see one

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I only collected like 70 of those since the event started. Got the tabard, got the gloves (leather)... disenchanted the gloves ;)

The +dmg against undead might be useful in Naxxramas, but I think I should go past Lashlayer with my raid first.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

can Necrotic Rune be used for anything anymore ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Collected ~270 pieces in 5 hours. Because I am a warlock, the oil will be godly in Naxxramas.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have been killing these for 2 days straight now and I have accumulated 94 of them on my 42 paladin. Kind of a waste but oh well.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know where to turn these in since the event is over? I still got 50+ on hand.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I can't find NPC in EPL to buy something. Is event over?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A waste! Come on. How cool is the Argent Dawn tabbard?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I read on a bliz forum that they will be given a more useful use in a little while, so I'd hold on to them. As a hunter, once I got my gloves, I have no real use for them besides pots, though the conversion rate of 15 runes to 1 pot is not worth it. No reason to get consecrated stones or wizard oils as hunters don't have spell damage and melee attack power is almost useless for us.

Kommentar von Geryth

For the baby mobs around the crystal:
These work a little bit like E'kos where they have their own loot rules and they don't behave like normal green items. It appears that in order to get credit and be able to roll on these when they drop you have to get on the mobs' threat table. E'kos also give credit if you are simply close enough but that doesn't seem to be the case with these, you have to be on the threat table to be able to roll on them.

I also had an alt who was not getting credit and rolls even after getting on the threat table. After 30 kills of actually melee'ing the mobs and not getting the roll I knew something was up and I reloaded my UI with /reload. This fixed whatever my issue was and I immediately was getting rolls for them.

Our group enacted a strategy to just tag a mob a single time and move on to let everyone be able to get threat and that worked well to allow as many people to roll on them as possible.

For the summoned shadows that drop x30:
For the big guys that drop x30, these DO work just like regular green item rolls from what I could tell. I showed up late to a crystal and had zero threat on them and probably 50+ yards away from them when they died and I was able to roll on them.
