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.
Slot and binding read from the current retail build’s item records for this set’s own pieces.

Where These Pieces Drop
2 of this set's 11 pieces drop from 2 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
2 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
Kazzara, the Hellforged drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.3, 72.2 on the Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible map. Although Neltharion would not use them himself until much later, he experimented with elementium plating in the early days of Aberrus. The end result of elementium and shadowflame was Kazzara, who was deemed far too unstable for release. Driven mad by the excruciating pain of her elementium plates, she now serves as the guardian of the Shadowed Crucible.
Scalecommander Sarkareth drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 49.0, 71.3 on the Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible map. As leader of the Sundered Flame, Scalecommander Sarkareth broke away from the rest of the dracthyr to forge a new future. He has since led his forces to Aberrus, intent on claiming the legacy he believes rightfully belongs to his kind and willing to do anything to obtain it.

Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 1 other version to Lingering Phantom's Encasement, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Heroic version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Lingering Phantom's Encasement’s head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:
Obsidian Gladiator's Plate Armor (Dragonflight, 33 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, waist, 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.
