Frozen Rune

Frozen Rune is a high level consumable found within Naxxramas. Though a consumable, it is primarily used as both a crafting reagent and quest objective for the Argent Dawn frost resistance items.

Crafting an item with a Frozen Rune required being near the Icebellow Furnace.

This item is contained in an interactable object of the same name, frozen to the walls within the four quarters of Naxxramas. On average, one to two frozen rune objects may be found in each boss room, and two to three appear in each quarter of The Outer Ring. Frozen Runes do not appear in the upper necropolis.

• In Classic, a Word of Thawing is required in order to unlock each Frozen Rune, which can be found as a common drop from trash mobs within the instance. Each Frozen Rune object yields 3-6x Frozen Rune items.
• In Retail, no reagent is required to unlock them, but each object will only yield a single Frozen Rune.

It is used in the following recipes:

• Blacksmithing
• Icebane Bracers
• Icebane Breastplate
• Icebane Gauntlets

• Leatherworking
• Icy Scale Bracers
• Icy Scale Breastplate
• Icy Scale Gauntlets
• Polar Bracers
• Polar Gloves
• Polar Tunic

• Tailoring
• Glacial Gloves
• Glacial Vest
• Glacial Wrists
• Glacial Cloak

These quests are only available after obtaining and turning in Omarion's Handbook (with the exception of Ramaladni's Icy Grasp (quest), which instead requires Echoes of War).

• Frozen Runes do not respawn in Classic.
• Looting a Frozen Rune will save the player (and their group) to the instance.
• While they may be used as a consumable, it is not recommended due to their necessity as a reagent and their difficulty to obtain. A Greater Fire Protection Potion is both cheaper to craft and more powerful in comparison.
