Where These Pieces Drop
3 of this set's 19 pieces drop from 3 encounters in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. 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
3 bosses in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Millennia ago, Neltharion established Aberrus, a secret laboratory where he conducted world altering experiments. Recently rediscovered, Aberrus is now under attack from all sides as forces seeking to claim the Earth-Warder's legacy search for any power that remains. The champions of Azeroth must venture into the shadows and ensure Neltharion's dark power doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
The entrance is in Zaralek Cavern at 48.5, 10.0 (/way #2133 48.5 10.0).
Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible entrance
The Amalgamation Chamber drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 44.4, 63.6 on the Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible map. The Eternal Blaze burns with the heat of a thousand suns, while the Essence of Shadow blooms with darkness incarnate. Although exceptionally powerful on their own, when combined they surge with the unchecked might of shadowflame, creating a whirlwind of ultimate destruction.
The Forgotten Experiments drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 35.0, 23.1 on the Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible map. The development of the dracthyr produced many iterations, some more successful than others. Early versions of the experiment proved far too volatile to destroy. Kept dormant for thousands of years, these creations have now awakened, and seek to test their prowess against the champions of Azeroth.
The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.3, 24.5 on the Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible map. Long ago, Zskarn was tasked with testing the mettle of Neltharion's experiments. Only the most powerful would pass muster and keep their lives. The latest visitors to the Shadowed Crucible have attracted his unwavering attention--but his approval will be much harder to earn.
Set Bonus
5 pieces of this appearance set also belong to the item set Heartfire Sentinel's Authority, which carries these bonuses in the game files:

2 pieces (Retribution): Judgment and Hammer of Wrath deal 10% increased damage and 15% increased critical strike damage. Hammer of Wrath applies Judgment to enemies.
4 pieces (Holy): Light's Hammer heals 100% more frequently and generates 1 Holy Power every 4 sec. Holy Prism's healing is increased by 40% and it generates 1 Holy Power if cast on an enemy target, or 3 if cast on an ally.
4 pieces (Protection): Judgment critical strikes apply Heartfire and can trigger Grand Crusader.
4 pieces (Retribution): Judgment increases the damage enemies take from your Holy Power spenders by an additional 15%. Hammer of Wrath now hits 4 nearby targets for 20% of its damage.
Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Heartfire Sentinel's Authority, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Heroic version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Heartfire Sentinel's Authority’s head, shoulder, chest, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:
Obsidian Gladiator's Plate Armor (Dragonflight, 33 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, legs, feet and hands 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.
