Of its 31 pieces, 24 are sold by vendors, 3 drop from bosses and 1 is a world drop. Every piece is Plate armor. Wearing them requires level 27. The set was added in patch 2.1.0.
Source is the collection journal’s own source for each appearance, read from the current retail build; bosses, quests, recipes, prices and requirements come from the game’s item, journal and quest records.
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.

Where These Pieces Drop
6 of this set's 31 pieces drop from 3 encounters in Black Temple. 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.
The Ensemble
Ensemble: Vengeful Gladiator's Scaled Armor is a single item whose use effect learns all of Vengeful Gladiator's Scaled Armor at once. It is Bind on Pickup. Using it requires level 27.
Where to Farm This Set
3 bosses in Black Temple drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
1 other set reuses the 3D models of Vengeful Gladiator's Scaled Armor’s head and shoulder, most shared models first:
Lightbringer Armor (The Burning Crusade, 30 pieces): the same head and shoulder 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.
