'''Runeforging''' is a skill specific to [[death knight]]s, involving the affixing of runes to the death knight's weapon. It requires a [[runeforge]], which can be found in three places: The [[Heart of Acherus|upper chamber]] of [[Acherus: The Ebon Hold]] in the [[Eastern Plaguelands]], the [[Shadow Vault]] in northern [[Icecrown]], and the fortress structure at [[Mord'Rethar: The Death Gate]] in southeastern Icecrown. After a small quest chain, the Shadow Vault - inhabited by hostile Scourge - can be captured to serve as a questing hub for the [[Knights of the Ebon Blade]], allowing ease of access to the Vault's runeforges.

In life '''Chauch-eta''' was a female [[half-orc]]. In death, she was raised as a [[skeletal mage]] under the [[Scourge]].This creature might have once been a half-orc, though now it is barely more than a skeleton. Silvery, translucent skin stretches tight over its form, accentuating its skeletal frame. She retained all of her intelligence and memories before her transformation into undead, and she also has an intimate connection with the minds and senses of all the undead under her command. She may know things that her undead minions have discovered, even if the minion was not intelligent to make sense of its findings. She knows several languages ([[Abyssal (language)|Abyssal]], [[Common (language)|Common]], [[Gnoll (language)|Gnoll]], [[Orcish]], and [[Undercommon]]).<ref name="MoM146-147">''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', 146-147</ref>
== The Engraving Process ==
 
To engrave a rune on your weapon(s), open your spellbook to the General tab and click on the Runeforging icon. You'll get a list of Runes that you know. Choose a rune, then click the Engrave button. Your mouse pointer turns blue -- use it to click on the weapon you want the Rune engraved upon. It helps to already have your character or bags open.

As of [[Patch 3.3.0]], there are ten different [[Rune system#Runes|runes]] that can be affixed to your weapon. Four are for both one- and two-handers, three are for one-handers only, and three are for two-handers only. Only one rune may be affixed to a weapon at a time.

==Notes==
 
 
Runes are always better than weapon enchantments. No death knight should ever pay to get a weapon enchanted.
 
 
In general, the best runes are Fallen Crusader for DPS and Stoneskin Gargoyle/Nerubian Carapace for tanking. For dual-wield DPS, Razorice is competitive for the offhand.
