Where These Pieces Drop

17 of this set's 18 pieces drop from 11 encounters in Hellfire Citadel. 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.

Where to Farm This Set

11 bosses in Hellfire Citadel drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Hellfire Citadel

When Garrosh encouraged Grommash to begin construction of this massive stronghold at the heart of Tanaan Jungle, to serve as a staging ground for the assault of Azeroth, he even suggested the name Hellfire, pulled from a different time and a different land. He dreamed of seeing mighty orcish iron towering over an unblighted landscape, so very different from the wasteland he had known in Outland. But even as times change, so too do they stay the same.

The entrance is in Tanaan Jungle.

  • Iron Reaver drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 43.4, 50.6 on the Hellfire Citadel map. The schematics for the Iron Reaver were found in the workshop of Blackfuse himself after the fall of Orgrimmar, drawing inspiration from the mighty constructs of the Legion and designed to be the nefarious goblin's masterwork. The project was completed after his death, and represents the pinnacle of the Iron Horde's military might.
  • Kormrok drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 52.2, 45.2 on the Hellfire Citadel map. As ancient as Draenor itself, Kormrok once ruled Gorgrond, the creatures of the land slinking away from the giant magnaron's destructive fury. But then the Iron Horde came, trapping the behemoth and attempting to break his will. They were entirely unsuccessful... that is, until the rise of Gul'dan, and the fel power that Kormrok could not resist.
  • Hellfire High Council drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 71.8, 67.6 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Thousands of Iron Horde orcs accepted the blood of Mannoroth, but few grew as powerful as these three champions. Dia Darkwhisper, master of Void magic and an outcast of the Shadowmoon, rose quickly to power as the left hand of Gul'dan. Gurtogg, with his insatiable hunger for blood, emerged the victor in hundreds of trials by combat. He has met his match only once, fighting Blademaster Jubei'thos to a draw. Tainted with fel sickness, they serve Gul'dan as both Highguard and Council of War.
  • Kilrogg Deadeye drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 51.2, 33.5 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Kilrogg Deadeye, Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow, seized control of his clan after performing a ritual to learn of his death. With this knowledge, he led his clan fearlessly on countless campaigns, marching toward the glorious end he desires. Now, with demon blood coursing through his veins, Kilrogg awaits you in Hellfire Citadel, awaiting the moment of his death, or yours.
  • Gorefiend drops 2 pieces of this set (Hands, Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 17.6, 45.2 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Falling into the heart of the mausoleum Auchindoun, the Shadow Council lieutenant Teron'gor gorged upon hundreds of draenei souls, becoming a bloated abomination in the process. More than just an orc now, Teron'gor gave up his old name and has taken a new one: Gorefiend.
  • Shadow-Lord Iskar drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Feet) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 40.1, 76.1 on the Hellfire Citadel map. After Iskar's efforts to resurrect Terokk and return to power ended in frustration, he was approached by Gul'dan with an offer and a promise to break the ancient curse of Sethe. No longer flightless, elevated from the shadows yet still a master of illusion and deception, Iskar's hour of vengeance is at hand.
  • Socrethar the Eternal drops 2 pieces of this set (Hands, Wrist) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 59.5, 53.0 on the Hellfire Citadel map. The greatest warriors of the draenei have their souls imbued into gleaming constructs, serving as eternal Vigilants in defense of their people. Originally a member of the Council of Exarchs before his descent into darkness, Socrethar has perverted this holiest of rituals, and used a warped fel construct to preserve his soul after his defeat in Talador.
  • Fel Lord Zakuun drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 49.9, 18.3 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Speculated by some scholars of the Legion to be an evolved version of the common felguard, Fel Lords serve as enforcers in the direct service of Archimonde. Their cruelty is matched only by their brute force. Zakuun was set to a task that called upon both of these traits in equal measure: breaking the iron will of a stubborn and defiant orc chieftain of the Warsong Clan....
  • Xhul'horac drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 48.4, 50.7 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Summoned by Gul'dan from the depths of the Twisting Nether, Xhul'horac is one of most powerful of the Void Revenants - a race of parasitic void-beings that tear holes through the planes of reality, consuming and absorbing the energies and beings within. Gul'dan has twisted Xhul'horac, feeding him overwhelming Fel energy, and using his powers to tear open the portals through which he plans to rally the forces of the Burning Legion.
  • Tyrant Velhari drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 29.4, 51.5 on the Hellfire Citadel map. When Gul'dan brought his gift to the Sargerei, Velhari had already made her ambitions clear and risen through the ranks with brutal ferocity. Known to her enemies as the Tyrant, Velhari was one of the first to accept the fel touch, further enhancing her combat prowess. Velhari now bears a mockery of the holy symbol of the Naaru, signifying her conviction to the new order.
  • Mannoroth drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 51.1, 48.0 on the Hellfire Citadel map. Bloodthirsty and brutal, Mannoroth was Archimonde's most feared enforcer, until he was felled by a mighty blow from Grommash's blade. Even in death, his blood was used by Gul'dan to fuel a dark bargain with the Iron Horde and their allies. Gul'dan and his minions now seek to reanimate the shattered remains of Mannoroth, that he may continue to serve the Legion.
