Where to Farm This Set
10 bosses in Blackrock Foundry and Highmaul drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
This foundry was the ancestral home of the Blackrock orcs, wherein master smiths smelted and worked the impossibly hard ore that is the clan's namesake. Now, massive giants captured and broken by the Thunderlord heat the great forges, flamebenders of the Burning Blade imbue the ore with an inner fire, and engineers shape the slag according to otherworldly schematics. Warlord Blackhand's foundry is the center of the Iron Horde's military might, churning out the weaponry that will be used to raze Azeroth.
The entrance is in Gorgrond at 51.6, 27.1 (/way #543 51.6 27.1).
Blackrock Foundry entrance
Oregorger drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 37.2, 82.4 on the Blackrock Foundry map. The storehouses of the Blackrock Foundry, laden with heaps and pallets of unprocessed Blackrock ore, represent a grand banquet feast for the ravenous rock-eating goren who have burrowed into the chamber. Oregorger is by far the largest of the invaders, gluttony swelling his frame far beyond the size of any goren previously seen in Draenor.
Beastlord Darmac drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 66.3, 72.2 on the Blackrock Foundry map. As a young orc, Darmac quickly rose through the ranks of the Thunderlord as a gifted trainer of beasts. Where others only saw animal instincts, he recognized intellect and drew forth untapped potential from brain and muscle and bone. When the Iron Horde demanded his service, Darmac saw no greater honor than to outfit and train the most savage beasts Draenor had to offer.
Flamebender Ka'graz drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 19.5, 76.9 on the Blackrock Foundry map. Under the banner of the Iron Horde, Blackhand has enlisted Flamebender Ka'graz of the Burning Blade to imbue the Blackrock-forged armaments with the essence of flame. Along with her assistant Aknor Steelbringer, Ka'graz toils before an everburning forge in support of the Iron Horde's conquest of Draenor.
Operator Thogar drops 2 pieces of this set (Waist, Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.1, 22.0 on the Blackrock Foundry map. Known more for his cruelty and cleverness than for brute strength, Thogar oversees the operation of the Grimrail. From the Foundry's depot, he coordinates the ongoing ground battle against the draenei in Talador, with entire batallions of troops and artillery at his beck and call.
The Blast Furnace drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 53.5 on the Blackrock Foundry map. The Blackrock clan's unique ability to smelt the black ore, a substance so dense that ordinary flame does not even soften it, has always been their most closely-guarded secret. Deep within the Foundry, their furnace contains a primal force as old as Draenor itself, raging within the confines of its prison as it emanates a preternatural heat.
Kromog drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 33.2, 43.1 on the Blackrock Foundry map. The magnaron are mysterious in their ways, ancient and inscrutable. Miners excavating an expansion to the Foundry, in support of the Iron Horde's massive production needs, were horrified to unearth a chamber containing a living magnaron. To their astonishment, Kromog began to assist in their endeavors, and now uses his massive stone fists to hammer out the gigantic plates needed for the Iron Horde's dreadnaughts and siege machinery.
The Iron Maidens drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Hands) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 82.3, 28.4 on the Blackrock Foundry map. With little opportunity to exercise her tactical brilliance under the ancient social structure of the orc clans, Gar'an was thrilled to be one of the first warriors to volunteer for naval duty under the Iron Horde. Instantly successful in battle, she was named Admiral of the Iron Horde fleet and selected Marak and Sorka as her lieutenants. Together, they are called the Iron Maidens, and have crushed any who have dared face them in battle.
Highmaul is the seat of power for the Gorian Empire, the ogre civilization that ruled Draenor for generations, until the arrival of the draenei. A massive city that belies the ogre reputation for brutish stupidity, Highmaul is full of bustling markets, wealthy nobles, and the roar of the Coliseum crowd echoing through the streets of the slums. Visible from everywhere within the city's walls, Imperator Mar'gok's citadel casts a long shadow, a reminder of his watchful eye and iron grip.
The entrance is in Nagrand at 32.8, 38.4 (/way #550 32.8 38.4).
Highmaul entrance
Kargath Bladefist drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 54.8, 57.7 on the Highmaul map. Kargath Bladefist, Warlord of the Shattered Hand, honed his brutal skills as a slave in the ogres' gladiatorial games. He slaughtered countless opponents for the promise of freedom, but after winning, was locked away with the other retired "champions." Fueled by rage, Kargath tore off his own hand to escape and led a revolt that soaked Draenor in ogre blood. Now, he returns to the arena to teach you the true meaning of savagery.
The Butcher drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 57.8, 55.1 on the Highmaul map. Born in the fetid Underbelly of Highmaul, this ogre may have once had a proper name, but it is long forgotten. Abused and beaten from his earliest days, the hardship only strengthened his body even as it broke his mind. Now there is not an ogre in Highmaul who will not give him a wide berth as he hacks away at slaughtered carcasses to pass his days.
Brackenspore drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 50.9, 16.4 on the Highmaul map. The Iron Horde juggernaut moored in the waters beside Highmaul drew the attention of Brackenspore, ancient walker of the deep. The aquatic giant spreads fungal growth and moss in his wake, and is driven by primal instinct to eradicate any traces of civilization on Draenor.
