Where to Farm This Set
18 bosses in 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.
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
Nythendra drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 55.3, 50.2 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Nythendra was once a member of the Green Dragonflight charged with guarding the world tree, Shaladrassil. When Xavius' corruption of the Nightmare consumed Shaladrassil, it consumed the sleeping guardian as well. Nythendra is now nothing more than a skeletal version of herself, swarming in pestilence, ready to devour anyone or anything foolish enough to enter her lair.
Il'gynoth, Heart of Corruption drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). 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 (Chest). 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 (Shoulder). 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.
Dragons of Nightmare drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 47.9 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. The Emerald Dream was entrusted to Ysera for safekeeping, and the mightiest of her green dragon brood were assigned to stand watch over four portals that connected directly to Azeroth. But even before the Cataclysm, these dragons began to show signs of corruption. Now, the path to the Nightmare's core runs through the dragons' lair.
Cenarius drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 60.0, 33.5 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. The demigod Cenarius is the father of druidism in Azeroth, and one of Azeroth's oldest and most powerful protectors. His disturbing slumber within the groves of Val'sharah was the first sign of the depth of the growing threat from within the Nightmare. That dark power now has complete hold over him, and he may lie beyond hope of redemption.
Xavius drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). 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
Skorpyron drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 32.3, 61.0 on the The Nighthold map. Deep within the foundations of the Nighthold, beneath the sea, lie long-forgotten vaults that give access to the Nightwell itself. This monstrous armored scorpid has made its home in one of these vaults. Infused with the power of the Nightwell, and surrounded by a teeming brood, Skorpyron presents a serious complication to an otherwise-promising back entry to the Nighthold.
Chronomatic Anomaly drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 52.4, 47.4 on the The Nighthold map. The cavern at the base of the Nightwell is a maelstrom of raw energy, as the power to fuel an entire civilization courses from the earth. Born from this chaotic flux, the Chronomatic Anomaly is an embodiment of the power of the Eye of Aman'thul. As it lashes out with energy attacks, the bursts of energy warp the very flow of time.
Trilliax drops 3 pieces of this set (Back, Hands, Legs). 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 (Waist). 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 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). 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.
High Botanist Tel'arn drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 65.9, 34.5 on the The Nighthold map.
Star Augur Etraeus drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 20.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Gul'dan drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 49.5, 52.0 on the The Nighthold map.
