Where These Pieces Drop

5 of this set's 17 pieces drop from 5 encounters in Dragon Soul. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.

Drop chances are not stored in the client data we mine, so none are shown here.

Where to Farm This Set

5 bosses in Dragon Soul drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Dragon Soul

Forged by Deathwing during the War of the Ancients, the Dragon Soul harnessed the combined power of the dragonflights until it was ultimately destroyed. Through the Caverns of Time, Thrall and the remaining dragonflights were able to recover the powerful artifact before its destruction. Now they have rallied at Wyrmrest Temple in a desperate attempt to use the might of the Dragon Soul against Deathwing himself.

The entrance is in Tanaris at 61.7, 51.8 (/way #71 61.7 51.8).

Tanaris map with the Dragon Soul entrance markedDragon Soul entrance
  • Morchok drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.4, 69.3 on the Dragon Soul map. The most powerful elemental still under Deathwing's sway, Morchok-once a passive guardian-is now convinced that his only respite will come with Azeroth's demise. Morchok rages against the foundation of Wyrmrest Temple, Azeroth's last beacon of hope in the Hour of Twilight.
  • Warlord Zon'ozz drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.0, 53.0 on the Dragon Soul map. Countless ages ago, Warlord Zon'ozz and his soldiers waged endless war against the forces of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron. Millennia have passed, but the warlord still serves the chaotic might of the Old God N'Zoth. Deathwing has now unleashed this legendary faceless one to crush the defenders of Wyrmrest Temple.
  • Yor'sahj the Unsleeping drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 46.8, 49.9 on the Dragon Soul map. Since the fall of the Bastion of Twilight, Yor'sahj the Unsleeping has eagerly assisted Deathwing, providing the Destroyer with the means to release more faceless ones from their prisons deep beneath the earth. Their numbers are endless and their power is beyond reckoning, and Yor'sahj intends to reap a grim reward for his faithful service.
  • Warmaster Blackhorn drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.2, 17.2 on the Dragon Soul map. Though once vast in number, only a few dozen twilight dragons now remain. Astride these hardened survivors are the last vestiges of the Twilight's Hammer's army: the elite drake riders of Deathwing's personal escort. Led by the insidious Warmaster Blackhorn, they move with unholy purpose, driven to protect their dark master.
  • Spine of Deathwing drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.2, 85.3 on the Dragon Soul map. When Deathwing first channeled the Dragon Soul's power against the other flights, the massive energies that were unleashed threatened to break apart his very body. Rather than forgo this weapon, he had adamantium plates fused to his scales to hold his body together. Later reinforced with elementium, these plates are now his weakness--the sole vulnerability to Deathwing's lethal presence.
