Where These Pieces Drop
2 of this set's 13 pieces drop from 2 encounters in Nerub-ar Palace. 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 Nerub-ar Palace drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Deep within the kingdom of Azj-Kahet lies Nerub-ar Palace, Queen Ansurek's seat of power. From this shadowed throne Queen Ansurek has tightened her grip on her Sureki followers, leading them along a dark path to a new future. As her paranoia grows, the members of the conspiratorial Severed Threads launch their final gambit against Ansurek's rule.
The entrance is in Azj-Kahet at 43.5, 90.4 (/way #2255 43.5 90.4).

The Silken Court drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 40.7, 52.9 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. Scarab Lord Anub'arash and Skeinspinner Takazj are Queen Ansurek's most trusted advisors, yet these two powerful nerubians harbor a hatred for each other even more powerful than their loyalty to the throne. While unleashing their considerable strength onto their enemies, each also fights to ensure their counterpart doesn't survive.
Queen Ansurek drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 47.8, 54.6 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. After a revelation of traitors in her court, Queen Ansurek decides she must eradicate the palace's invaders herself. However, paranoia over whom she can trust gnaws at her psyche. With her allies dwindling, Queen Ansurek may delve into dark powers to attain victory, even if that means her most loyal soldiers become her next meal...

Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Mane of the Greatlynx, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Heroic version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Mane of the Greatlynx’s head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:
Forged Gladiator's Leather Armor (The War Within, 28 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.
