Of its 8 pieces, 3 drop from bosses, 3 are world drops and 2 are sold by vendors. Every piece is Cloth armor. Wearing them requires level 30. The set was added in patch 3.0.1.
Source is the collection journal’s own source for each appearance, read from the current retail build; bosses, quests, recipes, prices and requirements come from the game’s item, journal and quest records.
What This Set Covers
This is a partial outfit - it fills 5 armor slots, so a full look needs 3 more slots from elsewhere. Every piece is Bind on Pickup, so the appearances have to be earned rather than bought.

Where These Pieces Drop
3 of this set's 8 pieces drop from 1 encounter in Vault of Archavon. 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
1 boss in Vault of Archavon drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Set Bonus

4 pieces: Critical strike chance increased by 3%.
Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 1 other version to Heroes' Plagueheart Garb, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the 10 Player (Normal) version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Heroes' Plagueheart Garb’s head and shoulder, most shared models first:
Plagueheart Raiment (Classic, 9 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.
