Where to Farm This Set
14 bosses in Broken Isles, The Emerald Nightmare and The Nighthold drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
This area once stood as the cradle of elven civilization, centered around the ancient elven capital of Suramar, until the Sundering tore the land apart. While the power of the Nightwell preserved the city of Suramar, the surrounding lands bear the scars of that catastrophic event. But now Gul'dan has awakened the Tomb of Sargeras, and from the tauren camps in the peaks of Highmountain, to the druidic groves of Val'sharah, to vrykul settlements that dot Stormheim, the Isles live in the shadow of the Legion.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
Broken Isles entrance
Flotsam drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.0, 50.0 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. Flotsam emerged from the ocean depths to sate his hunger. The first to cross his path were the swamp murlocs of Shipwreck Cove, which Flotsam devoured by the dozens. Despite consuming most of their tribe, these creatures worshipped the giant as a god, and continued feeding him family and friends until the beast passed out. When he awakens, Flotsam will expand his menu to include everyone within the region.
Na'zak the Fiend drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 42.8, 46.2 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. The alpha of the Fal'dorei, this terrifying monstrosity lurks deep within the Falanaar Tunnels. As he churns through the rubble, he uncovers ley-infused stones and feeds upon their arcane energy to sustain himself, biding his time for more worthy prey.
The Emerald Dream was created by the titans as a blueprint for Azeroth itself - a verdant and perfect mirror that reflects the state of nature had it remained unspoiled by so-called civilization. For many years, the druids and keepers who are closest to nature have noticed signs of an unsettling presence stirring within the Dream. Spurred on by the Legion and Nightmare Lord Xavius, that creeping corruption has now burst forth, and will engulf all of Azeroth if it is not rooted out at its source.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
The Emerald Nightmare entrance
Il'gynoth, Heart of Corruption drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.4, 48.3 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Lodged in the hollows of a now-decrepit world tree, Il'gynoth is a manifestation of the horrors that lie at the heart of the Nightmare. It is a mass of corruption - a thing that should not be. Its tendrils seep through the ground, emerging in countless horrifying eyestalks and limbs.
Elerethe Renferal drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.1, 61.4 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Elerethe, once a mighty druid and adept shapeshifter, was led down a dark path by the belief that she was betrayed by her closest allies. Her consciousness now resides in the nightmare, damning her to an existence of fear, confusion, and hatred.
Ursoc drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 47.8, 29.8 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Ursoc is one of the Wild Gods. Patron of the furbolg, and closely linked to the druidic power of shapeshifting, the ancient great bear has long been a protector of Azeroth. But as Ursoc slumbered at his shrine in the Grizzly Hills, the world around him was plunged into corruption, and he awoke to torment and nightmare, consuming and twisting his being.
Xavius drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.9, 48.5 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Once a powerful mage, and a councilor to Queen Azshara, Xavius forged a pact with Sargeras to enable the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth. Cursed and tormented in the wake of that defeat, Xavius plots vengeance against the world from within the Rift of Aln. Those who venture into the Nightmare will face the full extent of his power, and his true form - a grotesque and distended monstrosity.
The largest structure in the Broken Isles, and among the grandest in all of Azeroth, the Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane power that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. But as a felstorm churns above the former temple of Elune across the bay, and Gul'dan himself now resides within the palace's walls, those worries now begin, not end, here.
The entrance is in Suramar at 44.2, 59.5 (/way #680 44.2 59.5).
The Nighthold entrance
Trilliax drops 1 piece of this set (Back). Adventure Guide map pin: 41.5, 19.8 on the The Nighthold map. Trilliax, once proud servant to the nightborne aristocracy, has been discarded and left to slowly deteriorate among other surplus constructs. While an unwavering will to carry out its tasks remains, the passage of time has splintered this construct's personality matrix. It now unpredictably switches from one mode to the next, ranging from doting caretaker to homicidal sterilizer, craving recognition and validation from a master that no longer exists.
Spellblade Aluriel drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 39.4, 39.6 on the The Nighthold map. Aluriel always had an affinity for magic. She rose through the ranks of the Nightguard effortlessly, having a natural talent with the sword. But no matter how strong she became, she wanted more. She studied with the mages at the University of Suramar, spending her days in combat training and her evenings in the artificery. She forged her weapons and armor in the Nightwell, weaving magic spells into the precious metals. She is the first Spellblade, adept in the schools of Fire, Frost and Arcane.
Tichondrius drops 2 pieces of this set (Shoulder, Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 26.5, 63.9 on the The Nighthold map. The dreadlord Tichondrius, once leader of the nathrezim, was once slain by the newly-awakened power of none other than Illidan Stormrage. Reconstituted in the Twisting Nether, Tichondrius returns to watch over Gul'dan on behalf of the Legion, ensuring that the orc warlock does not once again fail his masters.
Krosus drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 74.2, 92.0 on the The Nighthold map. This colossal doom lord, one of the largest and mightiest creatures in the armies of the Legion, was defeated at the Broken Shore through the combined might of the greatest heroes of the Horde and the Alliance. Having recovered from his wounds, Krosus emerges from the bay between the Nighthold and the Tomb of Sargeras to crush any who would oppose the Legion.
Star Augur Etraeus drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 20.7 on the The Nighthold map. The nightborne astromancer Etraeus has devoted long years of research to scouring the skies of Azeroth, seeking answers to the great mysteries of the universe. His scrying has shown him worlds beyond our ken, and the power of the Nightwell allows him to draw upon the essence of those worlds to amplify his own powers.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Wrist) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map. Elisande once distinguished herself by resisting the Legion. She and her highborne followers broke away from Queen Azshara and the dark path she was taking, harnessing the power of the Eye of Aman'thul to create the Nightwell to protect Suramar from the Sundering. But over ten thousand years later, the Legion's arrival offered her no such recourse. She has cast her lot with the demons, hoping to once again use the power of the Nightwell - albeit this time in a very different sense - to save her people.

Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Doomblade Battlegear, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Normal version.
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 Doomblade 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.
Other Versions of This Set
The game data carries 4 separate set records under the name Doomblade Battlegear - one per class or armor weight, plus the per-slot recolours the appearance was built from. This page is the one we index for the name; the others are listed here so nothing is lost.
