Where These Pieces Drop
17 of this set's 50 pieces drop from 8 encounters in Pandaria and Throne of Thunder. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
Nalak, The Storm Lord - Pandaria - 8 pieces from this set
8 bosses in Pandaria and Throne of Thunder drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
Shrouded in mists since the world was sundered ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.
The entrance is in The Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61.0 (/way #433 48.1 61.0).
Pandaria entrance
Nalak, The Storm Lord drops 8 pieces of this set (Hands, Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 60.6, 37.3 on the Isle of Thunder map. When Lei Shen discovered a rare clutch of thundering cloud serpents, he was awed, and set to subjugating them. The largest hatchling fiercely resisted, and when Lei Shen visited the handling pens, he laughed mightily at the charred mogu that lined the walls. He took the hatchling for his own, and for its obedience, granted it power over the storms and the sky. For thousands of years following the death of the Thunder King, Nalak has guarded the walls of his hidden citadel, awaiting his return.
Oondasta drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.0, 54.1 on the Isle of Giants map. As the war against Lei Shen's island citadel began, Alliance and Horde scouts made an effort to intercept missives between the major Zandalari camps. One such exchange seemed to revolve around an unfamiliar Zandalari word, always surrounded by terms of conquest and power: Oondasta. Somewhere in Pandaria, the Zandalari Beast Ward raises their mighty beasts as engines of war, and is putting the finishing touches on this Loa-infused monstrosity. The exact location, however, remains unknown...
When Pandaria separated from Kalimdor many thousands of years ago, a veil of mist kept outsiders from discovering the newly-formed continent. The mists also hid a reminder of an ancient evil: Lei Shen's Throne of Thunder. During his rule, this fortress was the seat of the Thunder King's power. Even after his death, great swathes of corrupted energy lingered, and now, the resurrected Thunder King and the Zandalari trolls intend to harness that energy to establish the reign of Lei Shen once again.
The entrance is in Isle of Thunder at 63.8, 32.1 (/way #504 63.8 32.1).
Throne of Thunder entrance
Horridon drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Shoulder) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 26.8, 78.7 on the Throne of Thunder map. The Zandalari brought powerful creatures with them to the Isle of the Thunder King to use as engines of war. Led by the War-God Jalak, the dinomancers of the Zandalari Beast Ward use ancient tribal magics to strengthen the great beasts and command obedience. The horns of Horridon, the fabled mount of Jalak himself, can tear through the stone walls of a keep as a blade cuts silk.
Council of Elders drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 50.0, 19.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. The history of the troll tribes -- the Drakkari, the Farraki, the Amani, and the Gurubashi -- is awash with millennia of betrayal and conflict, but the Zandalari's promise of a new, unstoppable empire has finally united these disparate troll leaders.
Tortos drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 31.6, 82.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. Over the millennia, small amounts of mogu flesh-shaping magic seeped into the caverns below the Thunder King's citadel. The dark energies warped one of the chamber's native dragon turtles, melding it to the surrounding crystalline walls. Known as Tortos, this amalgamation of flesh and stone has since feasted on the cave's rich mineral deposits and grown to a colossal size.
Primordius drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 57.3, 78.3 on the Throne of Thunder map. Deep within the bowels of Lei Shen's island citadel, mogu flesh-shapers formed the saurok out of a magical substance of unknown origin. When the citadel was abandoned, some experiments languished in the dark pools for far too long....
Dark Animus drops 2 pieces of this set (Hands, Legs) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 42.7, 57.6 on the Throne of Thunder map. During his reign, Lei Shen labored to build a mechanical servant that would defend his citadel without fear. When his first attempt failed, rage took hold of the Thunder King. He poured this negative emotion into his next, and most successful, creation: the Dark Animus. To this day, the ornate construct observes its duty, empowered by the mysterious substance at the heart of all mogu flesh-shaping experiments.
Twin Empyreans drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player and 25 Player. Adventure Guide map pin: 77.9, 38.2 on the Throne of Thunder map. The Twin Empyreans are among the most formidable of the Thunder King's champions. Determined to safeguard his reign, Lei Shen keeps his loyalists close and their combined arsenal against interlopers closer.
