Where to Farm This Set
2 bosses in Karazhan and The Steamvault drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Karazhan entranceThe Steamvault
Coilfang Reservoir is the name for a naga-dominated compound that lurks under Zangarmarsh's deepest waters. The reservoir, punctured throughout by massive open pipes and pistons, seems big enough to house armies - and, yet, its purpose isn't strictly military.
The entrance is in Zangarmarsh at 50.2, 33.3 (/way #102 50.2 33.3).
The Steamvault entrance- Warlord Kalithresh drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on Normal and Heroic. Adventure Guide map pin: 76.0, 43.6 on the The Steamvault map. Deep within the Steamvault, the naga have begun experimenting with a mysterious substance to strengthen their warriors and purge them of fear. Kalithresh was one of Lady Vashj's first servants to volunteer as a test subject for this dark elixir. As reward, he has been charged with guarding the expansive Steamvault and ensuring the region's arcane machinery operates without interruption.

Shared Pieces and Appearances

- Faceguard of the Endless Watch uses the same appearance as Faceguard of the Endless Watch.
- Goldspine Helm uses the same appearance as Faceguard of the Endless Watch.
Look-Alike Sets
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Goldspine Plate’s head and shoulder, most shared models first:
- Battlegear of Might (Classic, 22 pieces): the same head and shoulder models, 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.
