  • Teldrassil.
  • Dun Morogh.
  • Durotar.

When searching for the Wandering Swordsman in WoW Classic, look for a friendly NPC wearing blue armor with orange shoulder pads. He also carries a longsword, with his name appearing in bright green above his head, like in my screenshot below:

How to Get the Rune of Blood Frenzy From the Wandering Swordsman in WoW Classic SoD

To get the Rune of Blood Frenzy from the Wandering Swordsman, you must defeat him as a Warrior. Speak to the NPC and accept his challenge to duel to engage him in battle. Beat him, and he will drop a small Swordsman’s Reward chest that, when interacted with, will reward you with the Rune of Blood Frenzy.

When engraved on your chest piece, the Rune of Blood Frenzy will grant you three Rage each time you deal Bleed damage to an enemy.

How to Defeat the Wandering Swordsman in WoW SoD

The Wandering Swordsman is a rare level 7 elite enemy, so he isn’t going down without a fight. He has 460 health, which means you may be hitting him for a little while before he yields. Because of this, I’d recommend having plenty of health items on hand so you can restore your HP before he can whittle it down too much. If you’re a magic user, make sure you pack mana-restoring food, too!

Now that you know how to hunt down and defeat the Wandering Swordsman, find out where the Supply Officers are located in WoW SoD so you know where to hand in any Waylaid Supplies you may pick up.
