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. 11 of 13 pieces are Bind on Pickup.
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 13 pieces drop from 7 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 Cryptstalker Battlegear, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the 25 Player (Normal) version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Valorous Cryptstalker Battlegear’s head, most shared models first:
Cryptstalker Armor (Classic, 8 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.
Buying the Tradeable Pieces
2 pieces of Valorous Cryptstalker Battlegear can be listed on the Auction House (they do not bind on pickup); 2 have a listing on US connected realms in our latest scan.
Lowest listed price on any US connected realm in our recorded Auction House scan, per piece; transmog gear is priced per realm, so the realm named is where that price was seen.
