Ethereal Augment Rune

As has become tradition, there is a permanent augment rune coming in the last patch of the expansion. The Ethereal Augment Rune is unlocked at Renown 18 with the outdoor zone rep. It is 100k gold, just like in DF. And just like in all pre-warband expansions, every character that wants this bonus, needs to shell out the full price.

Blizz, my feedback on this is that the warband expansion is the perfect time to make an improvement on this system. I would prefer if this item becomes a toy that the warband can all use, but if you feel that is too generous, then at least make further purchases after the first one be heavily discounted. TWW brought in so many alt friendly systems, let’s add this to the list.

No can do, reducing gold costs of anything would cut into WoW token sales.

Or you can have an alt army and farm these runes. If they drop in LFR having 10-20+ alts will be super nice.

Most of us are employed.

This is a good point, but we don’t currently know how many weeks it takes to get to 18. I think it took 4-5 weeks with the Undermine rep, which is where Blizz tends to like power bumps. The raid renown provides the skip at week 4, which could line up with this.
