No matter if you’re playing the Alliance or the Horde, the process of getting one of the more iconic Warlock Runes is the same. You need the Demolition Explosives and boom a big old pile of rubble—simple as that. 

Here’s how to get Demolition Explosives in WoW Classic Season of Discovery.

To become an expert Warlock and get the Lake of Fire Rune, first travel to Hillsbrad Foothills with at least one gold to your name. You’re looking for Zixil, the goblin NPC. He’s roaming the roads of Hillsbrad Foothills between Southshore and Tarren Mill, and you can find him between coordinates 50.6, 50.6 and 60.8, 19.8. 

Talk to him and buy the Demolition Explosives for one gold. Previously, the price tag of this was a whopping five gold, but it decreased over time.

After paying the goblin’s toll, make your way to Durnholde Keep. It’s hard to miss it—it’s a big keep on the east side of Hillsbrad Foothills, right after you cross the river at 77 and 41 coordinates. 

Once there, find the big stone rubble and place the Demolition Explosives near it. The rubble is near the keep, across the bridge. After a couple of moments, it will explode and leave a chest behind. In the chest, there’s Rune of Fires Wake, which will, once right-clicked, teach you the Lake of Fire ability.
