Of its 25 pieces, 6 are sold by vendors and 4 drop from bosses. Every piece is Plate armor. Wearing them requires level 30. The set was added in patch 3.1.0.
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 partial outfit - it fills 5 armor slots, so a full look needs 3 more slots from elsewhere. Every piece is Bind on Pickup, so the appearances have to be earned rather than bought.

Where to Farm This Set
6 bosses in Ulduar and Vault of Archavon drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Ulduar entrance
Hodir drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 67.0, 63.9 on the Ulduar map. The giant Hodir once presided over the Temple of Winter, lending his guidance to the frost giants in the Storm Peaks. Now the watcher dwells in an ice cave in the Halls of Winter, forced to serve the will of Yogg-Saron.
Thorim drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 72.2, 48.6 on the Ulduar map. For years, Thorim believed that ice giants had murdered his beloved wife Sif. Thorim turned his wrath upon his allies and fell into despair. When he learned that his brother Loken was responsible for the crime, Loken captured Thorim and brought him to Ulduar, where the Old God clouded the keeper's mind.
Freya drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 53.4, 22.9 on the Ulduar map. The watcher Freya has served as protector of all living things, aided by three stoic elders. Though her conservatory remains lush and verdant, she too has succumbed to the Old God's maddening whispers
Mimiron drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 43.6, 41.2 on the Ulduar map. A brilliant innovator, Mimiron has crafted countless mechanisms throughout the history of Azeroth that have inspired awe and wonder. But since falling under Loken's disturbed influence, this watcher of Ulduar has only constructed machines of war and destruction.
Yogg-Saron drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 68.4, 39.9 on the Ulduar map. The lucid dream. The monster in your nightmares. The fiend of a thousand faces. All must bend to the master's will. Your petty quarrels only make him stronger.
