Where to Farm This Set

1 boss in Return to Karazhan drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Return to Karazhan

From the moment of its mysterious creation, the purpose of this dark tower has been intertwined with the history of the Guardians of Tirisfal, once Azeroth's greatest bulwark against the Legion. It is now best known as the home of Medivh, who tragically betrayed Azeroth and brought the unbroken chain of Guardians to an end. This legacy makes Karazhan a place of particular interest for the Legion, who have descended in full force in an effort to open a new front in their war on the denizens of Azeroth.

The entrance is in Deadwind Pass at 46.4, 70.7 (/way #42 46.4 70.7).

Maiden of Virtue drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 83.6, 50.0 on the Karazhan map. Arriving in Karazhan to cleanse the tower of vice and corruption, the titan watcher was infuriated by Medivh's infamous parties and debaucheries. As her crusade for virtue seeks converts to her cause, the Maiden remains committed to purging immorality using all the powers at her disposal.

Look-Alike Sets

3 other sets reuse the 3D models of Parent Chain Set’s head, shoulder and waist, most shared models first:

Warmongering Gladiator's Chain Armor (Warlords of Draenor, 16 pieces): the same head, shoulder and waist models, in the same colours.
Wild Gladiator's Chain Armor (Warlords of Draenor, 16 pieces): the same head, shoulder and waist models, recoloured.
Battlegear of the Savage Hunt (Warlords of Draenor, 16 pieces): the same head, shoulder and waist 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.
