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
6 of this set's 15 pieces drop from 5 encounters in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope and Dragon Isles. 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
5 bosses in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope and Dragon Isles drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Having been carefully nurtured within the Emerald Dream, Amirdrassil is preparing to bloom and cross into Azeroth. But the fate of the new World Tree cannot be secured until Azeroth's champions come together to face Fyrakk and his molten allies, before he devours the heart of Amirdrassil and bathes the world in flame.
The entrance is in Emerald Dream at 27.2, 31.0 (/way #2200 27.2 31.0).
Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope entrance
Igira the Cruel drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.8, 25.6 on the Amirdrassil map. Driven by cruelty, Igira is able to forge devastating weapons from the screams of her enemies. Within the verdant realm of the Emerald Dream, the torturer seeks to expand her arsenal.
Volcoross drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 55.0, 58.9 on the Amirdrassil map. It is said that Volcoross, the lava serpent, is so vast that no creature has lived long enough to see him in his entirety. The gargantuan viper now coils himself around the Emerald Dream to devour it whole.
Smolderon drops 1 piece of this set (Back). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.4, 33.5 on the Amirdrassil map. As the new Firelord, Smolderon has unleashed the power of the Firelands to expand his domain and incinerate the Emerald Dream.
Fyrakk the Blazing drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 56.6, 53.3 on the Amirdrassil map. Engorged with the power of shadowflame and wielding the legendary axe Fyr'alath the Dream Render, Fyrakk now prepares to feast on the energies of Amirdrassil itself.
Once, the skies of the Dragon Isles were filled with the dragons of the five flights. But thousands of years ago the dragonflights left to defend Azeroth from those that threatened the world. Recently, however, the Isles have reawakened and called their long-absent caretakers to return. They were not alone--four great primal dragons have also arrived: Basrikron, wielder of earth and shale; Strunraan, master of electric tempests; Bazual, manipulator of flame; and Liskanoth, mistress of ice and cold.
Aurostor, The Hibernator drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Aurostor follows a strict regimen of sleep. Fyrrakk's assault on the Emerald Dream has disturbed this cycle, rousing the Furbolg Wild God from his slumber too soon. In a sleep deprived state, this raging Wild God attacks any passersby in an attempt to wear himself out.
Set Bonus
5 pieces of this appearance set also belong to the item set Molten Vanguard's Mortarplate, which carries these bonuses in the game files:
2 pieces (Arms): Rend damage increased by 30% and Sudden Death can be triggered by Rend's bleed damage.
2 pieces (Fury): Odyn's Fury deals 50% increased damage and causes your next 3 Bloodthirsts to deal 150% additional damage and have 100% increased critical strike chance against its primary target.
2 pieces (Protection): Spending Rage has a chance to cause your next Shield Slam to consume your bleeds on a target, instantly dealing 40% of the remaining damage of your Deep Wounds and Rend and 100% of Thunderous Roar's, and reducing your damage taken by 10% for 5 sec.
4 pieces (Arms): Sudden Death also makes your next Execute powerfully slam the ground, causing a Thunder Clap that deals 200% increased damage. In addition, the Execute target bleeds for 50% of Execute's damage over 5 sec. If this bleed is reapplied, remaining damage is added to the new bleed.
4 pieces (Fury): Bloodthirst critical strikes reduce the cooldown of Odyn's Fury by 2.5.1 sec.
4 pieces (Protection): For each bleed effect consumed from a target, your damage taken is reduced by an additional 2%. When Shield Slam consumes a bleed, the cooldown of Thunder Clap is reset and the cooldown of Thunderous Roar is reduced by 3.1 sec.
Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Molten Vanguard's Mortarplate, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Normal version.
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.
Other Versions of This Set
The game data carries 4 separate set records under the name Molten Vanguard's Mortarplate - one per class or armor weight, plus the per-slot recolours the appearance was built from. This page is the one we index for the name; the others are listed here so nothing is lost.
