World Bosses are also a decent source of Runes as you can get several runes at once after defeating a World Boss.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred - Rune Crafting

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

Diablo 4 - Invite To Trade

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

Diablo 4 - Runes drops

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

Diablo 4 - Vessel of Hatred 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.
