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.

This is a complete head-to-toe outfit - it fills 9 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.

1 other set reuses the 3D models of Cruel Gladiator's Scaled Armor’s head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:

• Radiant Lightbringer Armor (Legion, 21 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands models, 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.

Sets from the same content batch with the same class restriction.
