What This Set Covers

This is a complete head-to-toe outfit - it fills 8 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.

The Ensemble

Ensemble: Ruthless Gladiator's Ringmail Armor is a single item whose use effect learns all of Ruthless Gladiator's Ringmail Armor at once. It is Bind on Pickup. Using it requires level 32.

Where to Farm This Set

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

Baradin Hold

Following the Second War, the ruined fortress of Baradin Hold on the remote island of Tol Barad was converted into a prison for some of the most dangerous forces on Azeroth. Yet with the devastation wrought by the Cataclysm, the prison's integrity has been compromised. Now as the Horde and Alliance vie for supremacy on the island, the liberation of its forgotten horrors may be at hand.

The entrance is in Tol Barad at 47.7, 53.1 (/way #244 47.7 53.1).

  • Occu'thar drops 12 pieces of this set (Hands, Legs, Waist, Feet, Wrist) on Normal, Heroic, 10 Player, 25 Player, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 15.6, 63.2 on the Baradin Hold map. This ravenous demon broke free of its cage and gained access to the western wing of the prison, devouring all of the inmates held there. Occu'thar's gluttony resulted in a body too bloated to escape its environs, effectively turning the prison wing into its new holding cell.

  • 2 pieces: Increases Intellect by 5.
