Drops from Gluth in Naxxramas (25 Player), and 1 other encounter.
Source is the collection journal’s own source for each appearance, read from the current retail build; bosses, quests, recipes, prices and requirements come from the game’s item, journal and quest records.
What This Set Covers
This is a complete head-to-toe outfit - it fills 8 armor slots, so it can be worn as a full look with nothing borrowed from another set. Every piece is Bind on Pickup, so the appearances have to be earned rather than bought.
Slot and binding read from the current retail build’s item records for this set’s own pieces.

Where These Pieces Drop
9 of this set's 15 pieces drop from 8 encounters in Naxxramas and Vault of Archavon. 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.

Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 1 other version to Valorous Bonescythe Battlegear, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the 25 Player (Normal) version.
The flavour text the item tooltip prints on 1 piece of this set:
Gai Plin's Soothing Sash: Gai Plin extracted the healing powers of the Ru'shan River to infuse this belt with its soothing sensations.
Look-Alike Sets
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Valorous Bonescythe Battlegear’s head, most shared models first:
Bonescythe Armor (Classic, 9 pieces): the same head model, recoloured.
Matched in the game files: each piece’s ItemDisplayInfo names its 3D model and texture. The same model with another texture is a recolour. Only pieces with a 3D model of their own (helms, shoulders, cloaks, weapons, shields, off-hands and some belts and robes) can be compared this way; pieces drawn from textures alone are left out.
