This discovery previously taught the Shiv ability, but it was changed in Phase 4.

How to Get the Cutthroat Rune

Note – this method will work for Horde players, but it’s going to be a bit difficult, especially on PvP servers.

To get the Cutthroat rune, head to Yorgen’s Farm in Duskwood (50, 73) and use Pick Pocket on Defias Enchanters, Defias Night Blades, and Defias Night Runners to get the Engraved Gold Ring.

Optionally, you can go to the Tranquil Gardens Cemetery and lockpick the chest in the chapel (81, 71) to get an Engraved Silver Ring. You only need the gold ring, however.

When you have the ring(s), locate the statue in the center of Raven Hill cemetery (19.9,45.5). Equip the ring(s) and use the /kneel emote in chat. A Rune of Shiving will appear in your bags. You can right-click this item to learn the rune.

Doesn’t have to be Nightrunners. I got mine from a Night Blade.

So are the rings mandatory or not, two conflicting statements here. Really wish you guys would upload the time stamp of the most recent update to these guides to know if the information is still valid or not.
