Naxxramas Raid Overview Frost Resist Gear Guide
What are Frozen Runes?
Frozen Runes are both a consumable which grants a shield that absorbs fire damage and a crafting reagent used to make Frost Resistance gear. In practice, they are only used as a crafting reagent.
Where To Get Frozen Runes
Frozen Runes are collected by interacting with Frozen Runes, which are found embedded in the walls of Naxxramas. To interact with a Frozen Rune, you will need a Word of Thawing, which drops from trash mobs throughout Naxxramas. Frozen Runes usually contain around 4-6 Frozen Runes.
How To Craft With Frozen Runes
You will find Master Craftsman Omarion inside Naxxramas, in a cage at the start of the Deathknight Wing. If you have the required profession at level 300 and have the required reputation with Argent Dawn, he will teach you the recipes for the Frost Resistance gear.
