Participate in Apparition Incursions
Apparition Incursions are boss-rush events introduced in Season 8 that introduces new Bosses and Boss Powers. Apparition Incursions are similar to Legion Events in that it drastically increases the mob density of a specific area and are constantly in rotation.

Open Whisper Caches
Whisper Caches drop runes and can be reliably farmed by completing Whisper bounties and earning Grim Favors. It's recommended to do your Whispers in Headhunt zones to increase your chances for obtaining runes.
How to Complete the Tree of Whispers
Complete Kurast Undercity with Tribute of Harmony
Kurast Undercity is a speed-based multistage dungeon where you can earn runes in addition to other rewards such as gold, legendary drops, and materials. Do note that to get runes as rewards you'll need to offer Tribute of Harmony.
You can unlock Kurast Undercity by completing the Reunion Quest in the Vessel of Hatred Campaign.

Defeating Lair Bosses is also a great way to farm runes as you are guaranteed to get them each time a Lair Boss is defeated.

Defeat World Bosses
World Bosses are also a decent source of Runes as you can get several runes at once after defeating a World Boss.
Craft at the Jeweler
Crafting three runes of the same type will produce a random rune, allowing you a chance at obtaining your desired rune. You can craft runes at the Jeweler.
Trade with Other Players
You can also get runes by trading with other players. Since the other player will need to select which items to trade, you can use the in-game chat to coordinate which rune or item you wish to trade.
How to Trade
Fight Elite Enemies
Runes can randomly be obtained from chests and other activities in the game but we recommend doing activities with high Elite mob density such as The Pit, Nightmare Dungeons, or Kurast Undercity.
Do You Need the Vessel of Hatred Expansion to Get Runes?
Runes are Only Obtainable with the Expansion
It is important to note that runes can only be obtained if you own the Vessel of Hatred Expansion. Players that have the base game and don't own the expansion may purchase it separately to access runes.
