Where These Pieces Drop
19 of this set's 21 pieces drop from 11 encounters in Sanctum of Domination and Shadowlands. 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
11 bosses in Sanctum of Domination and Shadowlands drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
For eons the Jailer was bound within The Maw. Now, his endless armies gather as he expands its boundaries to consume Oribos. In the face of annihilation, Bolvar marshals his last remaining allies to charge into the heart of Torghast and confront the Jailer where he is most powerful.
The entrance is in The Maw at 69.7, 32.0 (/way #1543 69.7 32.0).
Sanctum of Domination entrance
The Tarragrue drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 54.5, 49.3 on the Sanctum of Domination map. The Jailer's relentless beast, the Tarragrue, has stalked the halls of Torghast since its first spire was raised. Countless victims have felt their souls trampled to ash by this monstrosity, which now awaits the mortal champions breaching the threshold of the tower.
The Eye of the Jailer drops 2 pieces of this set (Waist, Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 46.7, 94.2 on the Sanctum of Domination map. When Azeroth was young, Odyn traded his eye to Mueh'zala to peer into the Shadowlands. Vain Odyn was deceived, for the Jailer twisted the Eye to serve his own ends. The Eye's unwavering gaze allows the Jailer to see all that transpires within his domain--and perhaps others as well.
The Nine drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 42.2, 19.3 on the Sanctum of Domination map. The dark pact Sylvanas struck with the val'kyr forged her bond with the Jailer. Through the years, these winged sisters faithfully served the Dark Lady, even if it meant sacrificing themselves on her behalf. Now Sylvanas calls her nine val'kyr to fight for her one last time.
Remnant of Ner'zhul drops 2 pieces of this set (Head, Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 88.8, 35.7 on the Sanctum of Domination map. Intended to herald the Jailer's reign on Azeroth, the first Lich King, Ner'zhul, proved unworthy in his master's eyes. The last remnants of the fallen orc's twisted soul were encased in spiked shadowsteel, condemned to everlasting torment for his failure. All who cross his path will share in his suffering.
Soulrender Dormazain drops 2 pieces of this set (Shoulder, Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 53.5, 71.6 on the Sanctum of Domination map. Soulrender Dormazain extracts anima from the hellaciously brutish captives of Torghast to fuel the Jailer's armies. Dormazain has never met a soul he couldn't break, but his latest victim is proving resistant to the usual methods. Feeding on this captive's unending rage, Dormazain will enjoy spending millennia finding his weaknesses.
Painsmith Raznal drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 66.3, 29.7 on the Sanctum of Domination map. Painsmith Raznal is a sadistic mastermind who has spent eons perfecting the deadly traps found in Torghast. He relishes the screams of his victims as a testament to his skill, listening with malignant delight as they echo through the tower's desolate halls.
Guardian of the First Ones drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 64.3, 15.8 on the Sanctum of Domination map. Pulled by the Jailer's chains from a distant, unknown realm, this malfunctioning guardian seeks to protect the inscrutable knowledge known as "cyphers". It uses the last of its power to obliterate any who would attempt to plunder the secrets of its enigmatic makers.
Fatescribe Roh-Kalo drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 57.5, 70.3 on the Sanctum of Domination map. Once a fatescribe entrusted with Korthia's countless secrets, the Mawsworn seized Roh-Kalo and bound him to the Jailer's will. With Torghast's power at his disposal, Roh-Kalo seeks to author a new fate for the Shadowlands.
Kel'Thuzad drops 2 pieces of this set (Waist, Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 29.7, 52.2 on the Sanctum of Domination map. The nefarious Kel'Thuzad awaits at the apex of the soul river, allowing the lich to draw upon an unlimited well of power. All his countless schemes and machinations have led to this final confrontation, where he has plotted the mortal champions' ultimate demise in service of his true master.
Sylvanas Windrunner drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.7, 53.1 on the Sanctum of Domination map. With Oribos in peril, a desperate battle at the pinnacle of the Sanctum begins. Standing between the Jailer and the mortals who would stop him is Sylvanas Windrunner. With no masks left to wear, the Banshee Queen unleashes her full power to protect the Banished One while his ultimate plan unfolds.
The Shadowlands are the lands beyond the mortal realm of Azeroth, where the souls of the dead travel to upon passing. The Arbiter, a being of great power, once guided these souls to one of many different afterlives. Now, all souls are being sent to the Maw, a place of eternal torment. The denizens of the Shadowlands, from the peaceful Kyrians of Bastion and the Night Fae of Ardenweald to the cunning Venthyr of Revendreth and warlike Necrolords of Maldraxxus, must now come together to stem the flow of souls.
Mor'geth, Tormentor of the Damned drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Hands). Among the countless minions of the Jailer, few relish their twisted work as intently as the vile Mor'geth. Obsessed with breaking the will of any soul unfortunate enough to fall into his grasp, Mor'geth maintains an iron grip upon the battlefield, ensuring that any misstep will be his opponent's last.
Versions and Companion Sets
The game links 3 other versions to Tower Ascendant's Battlegear, each labelled the way the collection journal labels it. This page is the Normal version.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Tower Ascendant's Battlegear’s head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:
Unchained Gladiator's Chain (Shadowlands, 18 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet and hands 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
2 pieces of Tower Ascendant's Battlegear can be listed on the Auction House (they do not bind on pickup); 2 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.
