Where These Pieces Drop
7 of this set's 15 pieces drop from 6 encounters in Firelands. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
The Firelands is the molten domain forged by the titans to house Ragnaros and his wayward minions. Following Deathwing's emergence into Azeroth, Ragnaros and his servants surged onto the slopes of Mount Hyjal before being driven back by the sacred mountain's valiant defenders. Now Ragnaros is rallying his loyalists to defend the Firelands from Azeroth's champions.
The entrance is in Mount Hyjal at 47.0, 78.2 (/way #198 47.0 78.2).
Firelands entrance
Beth'tilac drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 21.1, 32.8 on the Firelands map. Matriarch of the Cinderweb Brood, Beth'tilac and her merciless offspring sate their appetites by sucking the magma and fire from the corpses of elementals. To provide her broodlings with added sustenance, Beth'tilac has woven a network of incendiary webs throughout her lair to trap unsuspecting prey.
Lord Rhyolith drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 65.4, 75.0 on the Firelands map. Rhyolith is one of the most ancient elementals in existence, born from the primordial fires that forged Azeroth itself. He is responsible for the creation of new elementals in the Firelands and still possesses a searing hatred of the titans for what he considers monumental arrogance in relocating him.
Alysrazor drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 64.4, 38.0 on the Firelands map. When Ragnaros's forces surged into Mount Hyjal, the green dragon Alysra betrayed her allies and helped liberate the traitorous archdruid Fandral Staghelm. As a reward, she was purified with fire and reborn as a fearsome fire hawk.
Shannox drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 49.3, 44.3 on the Firelands map. The flamewakers are among the most feared elemental guardians in the Firelands. Shannox is no exception. Serving as the chief hunter and kennel master of Ragnaros's hell hounds, Shannox patrols the elemental realm with his two most ferocious beasts: Riplimb and Rageface.
Baleroc, the Gatekeeper drops 2 pieces of this set (Chest, Shoulder) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 49.5, 31.0 on the Firelands map. Baleroc earned a reputation as a merciless combatant during the elemental wars of ancient Azeroth. Now that he is confined to the Firelands, Baleroc's sanity has dwindled. Few elementals dare disturb him, fearful that they will become victim to his battle lust.
Majordomo Staghelm drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on Heroic, 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.0, 72.5 on the Firelands map. The loss of his son, Valstann, in the War of the Shifting Sands utterly shattered Fandral Staghelm's spirit. Now empowered by Ragnaros as the new Majordomo of the Firelands (replacing the deceased Majordomo Executus) and the leader of the treacherous Druids of the Flame, Fandral seeks to bring ruin to Azeroth rather than live in a world without his beloved child.
