Source
This item is contained in an interactable object of the same name, frozen to the walls within the four quarters of Naxxramas. On average, one to two frozen rune objects may be found in each boss room, and two to three appear in each quarter of The Outer Ring. Frozen Runes do not appear in the upper necropolis.
- In Classic, a
[Word of Thawing] is required in order to unlock each Frozen Rune, which can be found as a common drop from trash mobs within the instance. Each Frozen Rune object yields 3-6x Frozen Rune items. - In Retail, no reagent is required to unlock them, but each object will only yield a single Frozen Rune.

Notes
- Frozen Runes do not respawn in Classic.
- Looting a Frozen Rune will save the player (and their group) to the instance.
- While they may be used as a consumable, it is not recommended due to their necessity as a reagent and their difficulty to obtain. A
[Greater Fire Protection Potion] is both cheaper to craft and more powerful in comparison.
