Where to Farm This Set
6 bosses in Heart of Fear, Mogu'shan Vaults and Pandaria drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
The Sha of Fear has corrupted the grand empress of the mantid. Her increasingly erratic and paranoid commands have driven the Klaxxi--the keepers of mantid culture--to take aggressive action. Because they are few in number, the Klaxxi are reluctantly willing to accept outside help in destroying the empress and purging their race of the sha's negative influence.
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok drops 2 pieces of this set (Hands, Feet) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 69.0, 74.5 on the Heart of Fear map. Zor'lok shrieks his proclamations so they're heard throughout the sprawling mantid palace. He is the Voice of the Empress, and his words alone inspire the insectoid race's warriors to give their lives without question. Unwaveringly loyal, Zor'lok will stop at nothing to defend his beloved matriarch, regardless of the corruption within her.
Garalon drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 66.5, 16.8 on the Heart of Fear map. It may be time to reconsider stepping on bugs. Don't make fun of this hulking behemoth's tiny wings; that'll just make him angry.
Wind Lord Mel'jarak drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 66.6, 32.9 on the Heart of Fear map. Wind Lord Mel'jarak commands the mantid's numerous aerial forces. Although he exudes arrogance, the cunning insectoid is fiercely protective of his soldiers and enjoys fighting at their side. Mel'jarak believes the mantid are superior to all other races, convinced that his kind cannot be defeated.
The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. The construction of these vast chambers predate any pandaren written records, shrouding their depths in mystery. Rumors once circulated of a mighty army locked within; for this reason, the vaults were the first target of the ancient pandaren rebellion, and they have been sealed ever since the mogu empire was overthrown.
The entrance is in Kun-Lai Summit at 59.5, 39.3 (/way #379 59.5 39.3).
Mogu'shan Vaults entrance
Elegon drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 20.7, 51.2 on the Mogu'shan Vaults map. Dedicated to the advancement of their empire, the mogu salvaged and repurposed titan technology to generate untold power in the depths of this ancient complex. Why these energies have been focused into the cold will of a celestial dragon is a mystery that lies at the very heart of the vaults.
Shrouded in mists since the world was sundered ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.
The entrance is in The Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61.0 (/way #433 48.1 61.0).
Pandaria entrance
Salyis's Warband drops 4 pieces of this set (Head, Chest, Feet, Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 71.7, 64.5 on the Valley of the Four Winds map. The ruthless saurok roam Pandaria, stealing what they can and harassing the island's other inhabitants. The most infamous of these reptilian pillagers are Chief Salyis and his warband. For years, the saurok commander and his raiders have stormed through the Valley of the Four Winds atop Galleon, a colossal and well-armed mushan that is more a moving fortress than a simple mount.
Sha of Anger drops 3 pieces of this set (Hands, Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 54.4, 63.2 on the Kun-Lai Summit map. The Sha of Anger, the physical manifestation of rage, has escaped from the Shado-pan Monastery in Kun-Lai Summit. Amid the brutal conflicts gripping Pandaria, the dark entity has grown ever more powerful. Recently, the sha has been seen wandering Kun-Lai, using negative energies to corrupt everything the being encounters.
