Where These Pieces Drop
4 of this set's 15 pieces drop from 4 encounters in Nerub-ar 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
4 bosses in Nerub-ar Palace drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Deep within the kingdom of Azj-Kahet lies Nerub-ar Palace, Queen Ansurek's seat of power. From this shadowed throne Queen Ansurek has tightened her grip on her Sureki followers, leading them along a dark path to a new future. As her paranoia grows, the members of the conspiratorial Severed Threads launch their final gambit against Ansurek's rule.
The entrance is in Azj-Kahet at 43.5, 90.4 (/way #2255 43.5 90.4).

Ulgrax the Devourer drops 1 piece of this set (Back). Adventure Guide map pin: 53.2, 38.8 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. Queen Ansurek's evolutionary experimentation created a number of monstrous guardians for her throne, none more voracious than Ulgrax the Devourer. Driven mad by endless hunger, Ulgrax is now the ravenous protector of Queen Ansurek's court.
The Bloodbound Horror drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 43.6, 69.3 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. In the dark pits below Nerub-ar Palace, the blood of the Old Gods congeals in foul, black pools. The Bloodbound Horror rises from this vile ooze - drawing everything in its path into The Unseeming.
Nexus-Princess Ky'veza drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 24.7, 47.3 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. Nexus-Princess Ky'veza arrived at Nerub-ar Palace only recently, quickly establishing herself as a confidante of Queen Ansurek. However, rumors abound within the inner court that she may harbor a dark and deadly secret. If discovered, the princess is prepared to dispatch all witnesses without mercy...
Queen Ansurek drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 47.8, 54.6 on the Nerub-ar Palace map. After a revelation of traitors in her court, Queen Ansurek decides she must eradicate the palace's invaders herself. However, paranoia over whom she can trust gnaws at her psyche. With her allies dwindling, Queen Ansurek may delve into dark powers to attain victory, even if that means her most loyal soldiers become her next meal...

Versions and Companion Sets
16 companion sets shipped in the Nerub-ar Palace group alongside it:
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Shards of Living Luster’s head, shoulder, waist, legs, hands and chest, most shared models first:
Forged Gladiator's Silk Armor (The War Within, 28 pieces): the same head, shoulder, waist, legs, hands and chest 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.
