I'm trying to compare this spell with the druid Bear Form and shadow priest Shadowform spells to see whether grenades etc. will be useable in Metamorphosis form. Is there any way to tell based on what's been datamined or will we have to wait until SoD launches to find out?

Comment by Slacky91

I thought this was revealed yesterday, why is it shown as not revealed now, or was that fake? 🤔

Edit: never mind, i see they are missing a step or two.

Sad that you have to do BFD to get the rune. While I was holding out doing BFD until I would be able to tank it...

Comment by Chadmage

getting this is a real mess i think horde take the L on getting it though because they have more distance to travel
more thought should've gone into this, maybe hellfire into immolation aura later on too.

It seems the wow classic team is very sexist. They put the incubus into the game just so men can have representation there but they won't put a female metamorphosis form into the game just to keep women out.

Just to throw this out there for anyone who is curious. You can collect the stuff from the towers, afaik, as early as level 15, some people were doing it, and I figured I'd ask if I could join them, and got them both. Also, as soon as you hit 20, you can pick up the quest line from the barrens and start that all too. I got lucky again and got a group of paladins and warlocks for the final part, so we all completed getting those items from the demons, and going in to the altar for us locks, and the weapons for the paladins.

I am still level 20, and have Meta. So, if you want to get it before getting to 25, ask guildies, or don't be afraid to ask in the zones for groups. Get out there and collect what you want, despite what anyone may tell you.

-loot 1 Large Soran'ruk Fragment from Shadowfang Darksoul in Shadowfang Keep, they are in the courtyard and in a hallway leading up to final boss.
*Must have quest in order to loot these items.

Return to Doan Karhan, turn in The Orb of Soran'ruk, pick up...

2. Rumors Abound

-Loot the Bough of Altek at the top of the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore.
*Both towers are filled with enemies level 28-30.
*Both items sit on a table and can be looted without killing any mobs (if you can get to the rune without pulling aggro)
*Both items can be looted before picking up the quest.

Return to Doan Karhan, turn in Rumors Abound and pick up...

-When you see the Monument to Grommash Hellscream, look north and take the pathway heading West up the hill.
-Use the Obelisk near a purple summoning portal in the Northwest corner of this area to turn in The Conjuring.
-You will contend with 4 waves of level 25 mobs. The fourth wave will be a lone Searing Infernal.
-You must be casting Drain Soul on the Infernal while standing within the purple rune on the floor when the Searing Infernal is defeated.
