Where to Farm This Set
5 bosses in Gate of the Setting Sun, Mogu'shan Palace and Scarlet Monastery drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
For generations, a massive wall called the Serpent's Spine has protected the denizens of Pandaria from periodic assaults by the rampaging, insect-like mantid. This brutal race's cycle of aggression recently began earlier than expected, catching the wall's defenders off guard. As the mightiest mantid warriors charge the battle-worn gates, Pandaria must hold back the most devastating army in the land's recorded history.
Saboteur Kip'tilak drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on Normal, Heroic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.1, 87.9 on the Gate of the Setting Sun map. The mantid are no strangers to warfare, using technology to turn the tide of battle. The pandaren stand little chance against munitions experts such as Kip'tilak, who strike deep behind enemy lines and threaten to destroy the already weakening fortifications from within.
Raigonn drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 44.1, 60.7 on the Gate of the Setting Sun map. This colossal mantid spearheads the assault against the gates. Acting as a living battering ram, Raigonn mercilessly hammers the pandaren defenses, seeking to decimate any and all obstacles barring the mantid's ruthless invasion of Pandaria.
The ancient Mogu'shan Palace is the last true bastion of mogu strength on mainland Pandaria. Three of their great clans recently gathered at this stunning location to meet with their king, Xin the Weaponmaster. This mighty ruler has formulated a bold plan to unite his scattered people and reclaim the glory of their fallen empire. With turmoil gripping Pandaria, Xin's lofty dream of conquest could become reality.
Xin the Weaponmaster drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on Normal, Heroic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 40.3, 86.1 on the Mogu'shan Palace map. The title of weaponmaster has many definitions among Azeroth's inhabitants. To Xin, it means that mogu weaponry obeys his every command. The king is more than willing to demonstrate his deadly skills to anyone who questions his right to rule Pandaria.
The Crusade's fanatical leaders direct their followers from the Scarlet Cathedral, at the heart of the monastery grounds. This heavily guarded location functions as the order's headquarters, and some of the most zealous and intolerant crusaders roam the halls of this once-hallowed place.
Brother Korloff drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Heroic. Adventure Guide map pin: 49.4, 52.4 on the Scarlet Monastery map. Brother Korloff first learned of the monk's deadly arts from pandaren ambassadors as they journeyed through Azeroth. When the crusader demonstrated this martial style to his superiors, they unanimously ordered Korloff to train an entire generation of initiates in the ways of the monk.
High Inquisitor Whitemane drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on Heroic. Adventure Guide map pin: 49.1, 80.4 on the Scarlet Monastery map. At a young age, Sally Whitemane witnessed her family succumb to the horrific plague of undeath as they were traveling through northern Lordaeron. She was then forced to destroy her parents and siblings when they rose as mindless Scourge minions, leaving her racked by guilt and rage. Ever since that day, the fearsome priestess has found fulfillment and pleasure in only one thing: the destruction of undead.
