Where to Farm This Set

13 bosses in Assault on Violet Hold, Black Rook Hold and Court of Stars drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Assault on Violet Hold

In the aftermath of the Northrend campaign and the Blue Dragonflight's attack on this Dalaran prison, the Violet Hold was repaired and its cells were repurposed to house some of the most dangerous servants of the Lich King. Now, as Dalaran floats above the Broken Isles as the flagship of the war against the Legion, a shadowy threat once again seeks to strike at Kirin Tor from within.

Blood-Princess Thal'ena drops 1 piece of this set (Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 31.0, 56.5 on the Violet Hold map. Blood-Princess Thal'ena is the daughter of the powerful San'layn Queen Lana'thel. She has been locked inside Violet Hold since the Northrend campaign, suffering the gnawing pain of her eternal hunger. Now that her cell has opened, she intends to feed on the world.
Festerface drops 2 pieces of this set (Shoulder, Waist). Adventure Guide map pin: 34.1, 27.7 on the Violet Hold map. Professor Putricide had many experiments seized when Icecrown Citadel fell. At best guess, Festerface appears to be a failed prototype that predated the construction of the professor's two most notorious creations: Rotface and Festergut.
Shivermaw drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 67.6, 68.6 on the Violet Hold map. Rumored to be one of Sindragosa's own brood, this fearsome frost wyrm was captured from the Frostwing Halls of Icecrown Citadel, where the forces of the Lich King labored to create these winged abominations.
Anub'esset drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 66.8, 25.6 on the Violet Hold map. Anub'esset, one of the few remaining ancient Nerubian crypt lords, was captured by the Kirin Tor during the invasion of Icecrown Citadel and imprisoned in Violet Hold. Set free during the Legion's invasion, his thoughts turn only to revenge against the living.
Millificent Manastorm drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 40.6, 41.6 on the Violet Hold map. An engineering genius of undeniable prowess, Millificent Manastorm seems to be the complete opposite of her husband Millhouse. Smart and resourceful, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Mindflayer Kaahrj drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 74.1, 46.0 on the Violet Hold map. This eldritch creature was captured in the depths of Ulduar, ensared as it lapsed into a catatonic state after the defeat of Yogg-Saron. Since Dalaran arrived at the Broken Isles, the monstrosity has mysteriously awakened, and only the powerful wards of the Violet Hold keep its powers in check.
Fel Lord Betrug drops 2 pieces of this set (Back, Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.4, 17.6 on the Violet Hold map. This ruthless Legion commander stands ready to lead an invasion of Dalaran from within its walls.

Black Rook Hold

Carved from the greatest mountain of Val'sharah by ancient elven masons, Black Rook Hold stood as a bulwark against the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. The nigh-impregnable fortress is also the ancestral home of Lord Kur'talos Ravencrest, one-time mentor of Illidan himself. But since the latest Legion attack, a strange dark energy emanates from the Hold, and restless dead plague the surrounding lands.

The Amalgam of Souls drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on Normal, Heroic, Mythic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 39.2, 61.4 on the Black Rook Hold map. Immense soul energy was released when Gul'dan conducted the ritual to sever Illidan's soul from his body at Black Rook Hold. This energy brought the souls of the Ravencrest clan back to their ancestral home - and residual soul energy has merged them into a massive monstrosity.
Illysanna Ravencrest drops 2 pieces of this set (Back, Head) on Normal, Heroic, Mythic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 61.1, 59.1 on the Black Rook Hold map. The daughter of Lord Ravencrest, imprisoned for millennia in the Vault of the Wardens shortly after the War of Ancients, found herself free after Maiev released the demon hunters from their prison. Returning to her ancestral home, she has sacrificed everything - including her very soul - to defend what she could not during the War of the Ancients.
Smashspite the Hateful drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on Normal, Heroic, Mythic and Timewalking. Adventure Guide map pin: 77.1, 23.3 on the Black Rook Hold map. A brutal, imposing Mo'arg Lieutenant, Smashspite the Hateful led the Legion's invasion of Black Rook Hold and commanded defense of the keep from the air via his colony of felbats.
Lord Kur'talos Ravencrest drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 37.4, 45.3 on the Black Rook Hold map. Kur'talos Ravencrest, Lord of Black Rook Hold, was the commander of the Kal'dorei Resistance during the War of the Ancients until he was assassinated by Varo'then under the orders of Queen Aszhara. Millennia later, Gul'dan's foul soul magic has awoken Ravencrest's soul, and those of his ancestors, from their eternal repose. The Legion, seeking revenge, gleefully forced his soul into his body and mesmerized him, forcing him to eternally relive the horrors of the War of Ancients.

Court of Stars

Even as Legion troops patrol the streets, casting a pall over the grand city of Suramar, the socialites of the Nightborne nobility continue to cling to custom and routine. On this clear night, the cry of revelers echoes through the chill air, as the largest mansion in the Noble District opens its doors for a grand gala. Rumor has it that Grand Magistrix Elisande herself may be making an appearance, in an effort to reassure several of her closest allies despite recent turmoil.

Talixae Flamewreath drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 57.7, 57.5 on the Court of Stars map. A sadistic eredar sorcerer, even as she understands the importance of the nightborne to her master's plans, Talixae chafes at the indignity of standing guard over a building full of elves. Nevertheless, she and her lieutenants remain vigilant, and while they live, no intruders will disrupt the gathering.
Advisor Melandrus drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 64.5, 76.6 on the Court of Stars map.
