Where to Farm This Set
16 bosses in Broken Isles, The Emerald Nightmare and The Nighthold drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
This area once stood as the cradle of elven civilization, centered around the ancient elven capital of Suramar, until the Sundering tore the land apart. While the power of the Nightwell preserved the city of Suramar, the surrounding lands bear the scars of that catastrophic event. But now Gul'dan has awakened the Tomb of Sargeras, and from the tauren camps in the peaks of Highmountain, to the druidic groves of Val'sharah, to vrykul settlements that dot Stormheim, the Isles live in the shadow of the Legion.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
Broken Isles entrance
Ana-Mouz drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 31.5, 66.7 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. This foul imp mother rests deep within Felsoul Hold, immersed in a pool of pure Fel energy. Her children swarm around her, as she soaks in the fetid air and corrupts anything that comes within her grasp.
Na'zak the Fiend drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 42.8, 46.2 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. The alpha of the Fal'dorei, this terrifying monstrosity lurks deep within the Falanaar Tunnels. As he churns through the rubble, he uncovers ley-infused stones and feeds upon their arcane energy to sustain himself, biding his time for more worthy prey.
Nithogg drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 29.3, 35.1 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. The great dragon Nithogg was once of the Thorignir, having left the brood shortly after they swore fealty to the titan keepers. Nithogg believed that one day he would be more powerful than even the keepers, and refused to be their subject. Instead, he took up roost in the mountain Nastrondir, where he raises his brood and terrorizes the nearby lands whenever the mood strikes him.
The Soultakers drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 69.1, 26.7 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. Sent by Helya to raid the crypts of noble vrykul kings, this trio of raiders and their crew has found their way into the Tomb of the Old Kings and seek to claim the souls that rest there.
The Emerald Dream was created by the titans as a blueprint for Azeroth itself - a verdant and perfect mirror that reflects the state of nature had it remained unspoiled by so-called civilization. For many years, the druids and keepers who are closest to nature have noticed signs of an unsettling presence stirring within the Dream. Spurred on by the Legion and Nightmare Lord Xavius, that creeping corruption has now burst forth, and will engulf all of Azeroth if it is not rooted out at its source.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
The Emerald Nightmare entrance
Il'gynoth, Heart of Corruption drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.4, 48.3 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Lodged in the hollows of a now-decrepit world tree, Il'gynoth is a manifestation of the horrors that lie at the heart of the Nightmare. It is a mass of corruption - a thing that should not be. Its tendrils seep through the ground, emerging in countless horrifying eyestalks and limbs.
Elerethe Renferal drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.1, 61.4 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Elerethe, once a mighty druid and adept shapeshifter, was led down a dark path by the belief that she was betrayed by her closest allies. Her consciousness now resides in the nightmare, damning her to an existence of fear, confusion, and hatred.
Dragons of Nightmare drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 47.9 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. The Emerald Dream was entrusted to Ysera for safekeeping, and the mightiest of her green dragon brood were assigned to stand watch over four portals that connected directly to Azeroth. But even before the Cataclysm, these dragons began to show signs of corruption. Now, the path to the Nightmare's core runs through the dragons' lair.
Xavius drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.9, 48.5 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Once a powerful mage, and a councilor to Queen Azshara, Xavius forged a pact with Sargeras to enable the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth. Cursed and tormented in the wake of that defeat, Xavius plots vengeance against the world from within the Rift of Aln. Those who venture into the Nightmare will face the full extent of his power, and his true form - a grotesque and distended monstrosity.
The largest structure in the Broken Isles, and among the grandest in all of Azeroth, the Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane power that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. But as a felstorm churns above the former temple of Elune across the bay, and Gul'dan himself now resides within the palace's walls, those worries now begin, not end, here.
The entrance is in Suramar at 44.2, 59.5 (/way #680 44.2 59.5).
The Nighthold entrance
Trilliax drops 2 pieces of this set (Back, Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 41.5, 19.8 on the The Nighthold map. Trilliax, once proud servant to the nightborne aristocracy, has been discarded and left to slowly deteriorate among other surplus constructs. While an unwavering will to carry out its tasks remains, the passage of time has splintered this construct's personality matrix. It now unpredictably switches from one mode to the next, ranging from doting caretaker to homicidal sterilizer, craving recognition and validation from a master that no longer exists.
Tichondrius drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 26.5, 63.9 on the The Nighthold map. The dreadlord Tichondrius, once leader of the nathrezim, was once slain by the newly-awakened power of none other than Illidan Stormrage. Reconstituted in the Twisting Nether, Tichondrius returns to watch over Gul'dan on behalf of the Legion, ensuring that the orc warlock does not once again fail his masters.
Krosus drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 74.2, 92.0 on the The Nighthold map. This colossal doom lord, one of the largest and mightiest creatures in the armies of the Legion, was defeated at the Broken Shore through the combined might of the greatest heroes of the Horde and the Alliance. Having recovered from his wounds, Krosus emerges from the bay between the Nighthold and the Tomb of Sargeras to crush any who would oppose the Legion.
High Botanist Tel'arn drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 65.9, 34.5 on the The Nighthold map. From his youth, the nightborne Tel'arn was fascinated by plant life: the resilience and adaptability of weeds, the ability of simple grass to harness the power of the sun, the way a tree may be divided into two, or two branches grafted into one. Aided by the energies of the Nightwell, he has transformed himself to the point that he is scarely recognizable as a nightborne elf. He now considers himself something far, far greater.
Star Augur Etraeus drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 20.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Shoulder) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Shoulder) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map.
Gul'dan drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 49.5, 52.0 on the The Nighthold map.
Set Bonus

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.
