Where to Farm This Set

7 bosses in Ny'alotha, the Waking City drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Ny'alotha, the Waking City

Ny'alotha, the Sleeping City, has awakened. Under N'Zoth's command, the armies of the Black Empire threaten to engulf the world and reshape it according to their master's vision. Only one hope remains: using the repaired titan forges to eradicate the Corruptor once and for all. But in order to target N'Zoth with the forges' power, the champions of Azeroth must venture deep into the horrific realm for one final confrontation against the Old God.

The entrance is in Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Wrathion, the Black Emperor drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.1, 80.3 on the Ny'alotha map. Despite all his precautions, Wrathion could not avoid succumbing to the madness that claimed his father. With his mind twisted by N'Zoth, he believes that the only way he can truly defend Azeroth is to rule it in the Old God's name. A prince no longer, Wrathion now takes his rightful place as the Black Emperor.
Maut drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 19.2, 60.8 on the Ny'alotha map. As the ancient aqir arose from the desert sands, their prophets set about the construction of an obsidian destroyer imbued with the essence of the Old Gods. Driven by an insatiable thirst for magic, Maut consumed the mana of its creators once it awoke and left their corpses to rot under the scorching sun of Uldum.
The Prophet Skitra drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 83.6, 61.2 on the Ny'alotha map. A master of illusion, Skitra delights in terrorizing his victims as he breaks their perception of reality. Those who fail to see through his deceptions become lost in Ny'alotha for eternity.
Shad'har the Insatiable drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 53.1, 74.8 on the Ny'alotha map. One of N'Zoth's most nightmarish creations, Shad'har the Insatiable feasts on the corrupted carcasses that the Old God's minions discard into its domain. Tormented by ceaseless hunger, Shad'har's body twists and mutates with every corpse it devours.
Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.8, 31.8 on the Ny'alotha map. Following its defeat in the Emerald Nightmare, Il'gynoth retreated into the depths of Ny'alotha to regain its strength. Now it has fused with the city's architecture and spreads across the Black Empire like a creeping infestation. As Il'gynoth's corrupting flesh grows ever larger, so does its power.
Vexiona drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.0, 50.9 on the Ny'alotha map. Obsessively wielding the power that N'Zoth has granted her, Vexiona has amassed a cult of worshippers who covet the gifts of the Void. From high atop her temple within the Black Empire, she transforms her most devout followers into unstoppable horrors.
Ra-den the Despoiled drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 64.2, 68.1 on the Ny'alotha map. As he bravely fought to save the Chamber of Heart, Ra-den was pulled into Ny'alotha where he has fallen victim to N'Zoth's whispers. The despair he harbored for so long has overwhelmed the last of his hope, rendering his corruption complete. Now the former Highkeeper will stop at nothing to do the Old God's bidding.

Look-Alike Sets

2 other sets reuse the 3D models of Malignant Vision's Battleplate’s head, shoulder, chest, waist, feet and hands, most shared models first:

Cosmic Aberration's Plate (Battle for Azeroth, 44 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, waist, feet and hands models, recoloured.
Corrupted Gladiator's Plate (Battle for Azeroth, 60 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, waist, 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.
