    What This Set Covers

    This is a complete head-to-toe outfit - it fills 9 armor slots, so it can be worn as a full look with nothing borrowed from another set. Every piece is Bind on Pickup, so the appearances have to be earned rather than bought.

    Where to Farm This Set

    3 bosses in The Venomous Abyss drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

    The Venomous Abyss

    Guided by the dark whispers of Malacrass, Zul'jan has freed the forgotten broods of Ula'tek from their prison. As the monster's power grows, Zul'jarra calls upon the Champions of Azeroth to descend into the Vaults of Atal'Utek to stop her brother before the weapon is unleashed upon Azeroth.

    • Nek'zali the Soulcoiler drops 1 piece of this set (Back). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.3, 50.2 on the The Venomous Abyss map. Long ago, the shadow hunter Nek'zali and her followers were entombed for the blasphemous act of summoning Ula'tek. Restored by the very power she unleashed, she calls the other Soulcoilers from their tombs to serve her once more.
    • The Twin Fangs drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.2, 57.3 on the The Venomous Abyss map. The first of Ula'tek's blood, Vexhul and Ithraz brood beneath a roiling sea of venom deep within the vault of Atal'Utek. Any foolish enough to enter the prison's inner chamber risk their monstrous jaws and toxic strikes.
    • The Coiled Altar drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.1, 77.2 on the The Venomous Abyss map. The spirit of Malacrass will not release his grip on Zul'jan so easily. At the Coiled Altar, the shaman commands the warrior to enact the final ritual to unleash Ula'tek on the Amani--for revenge, and to gain their promised reward.

    Set Bonus

    5 pieces of this appearance set also belong to the item set Guile of the Monkey King, which carries these bonuses in the game files:

    • 4 pieces (Brewmaster): Ignited Keg Smashes cause enemies struck to take 8% increased damage from your Physical abilities, and leave a patch of flames on the ground, dealing (25% of Attack Power) Fire damage each second for 5 sec.
    • 4 pieces (Windwalker): Fists of Fury increases the damage of your next Rising Sun Kick by 10% or Spinning Crane Kick by 20% each time it strikes, stacking up to 6 times.

    Look-Alike Sets

    1 other set reuses the 3D models of Guile of the Monkey King’s head, shoulder, waist, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:

    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.
