Where These Pieces Drop
19 of this set's 26 pieces drop from 9 encounters in Azeroth and The Eternal 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
9 bosses in Azeroth and The Eternal Palace drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
While many of the greatest threats to peace in Azeroth are locked away in ancient vaults or perched atop soaring fortresses, others walk brazenly beneath the open sky. As self-preservation drives the wise to seek shelter from these terrors, glory awaits any brave heroes who wish to test their mettle against the most powerful of foes.
The entrance is in Nazmir at 53.7, 62.6 (/way #863 53.7 62.6).
Azeroth entrance
Wekemara drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Waist). Summoned from the depths by an ancient naga ritual, Wekemara arises once more to wreak havoc upon the surface.
Ten thousand years ago, as the seas engulfed Zin-Azshari, Queen Azshara forged a dark bargain with N'Zoth that transformed her loyal subjects into the sinister naga. Through millennia of brutal conquest, Azshara has built a new empire from the ruins of the old and now holds dominion over the depths that once threatened to claim her. Ever the gracious host, she has invited the Alliance and Horde alike into her eternal palace to witness her glorious ascension... and their ultimate demise.

Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Queen's Guard Scalemail, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Normal version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Queen's Guard Scalemail’s head, shoulder and waist, most shared models first:
Notorious Gladiator's Chain (Battle for Azeroth, 26 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.
Buying the Tradeable Pieces
3 pieces of Queen's Guard Scalemail can be listed on the Auction House (they do not bind on pickup); 3 have a listing on US connected realms in our latest scan.
Lowest listed price on any US connected realm in our recorded Auction House scan, per piece; transmog gear is priced per realm, so the realm named is where that price was seen.
Other Versions of This Set
The game data carries 4 separate set records under the name Queen's Guard Scalemail - 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.
