Where These Pieces Drop
4 of this set's 38 pieces drop from 5 encounters in Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
5 bosses in Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
The Sha of Fear has corrupted the grand empress of the mantid. Her increasingly erratic and paranoid commands have driven the Klaxxi--the keepers of mantid culture--to take aggressive action. Because they are few in number, the Klaxxi are reluctantly willing to accept outside help in destroying the empress and purging their race of the sha's negative influence.
The entrance is in Dread Wastes at 38.7, 35.1 (/way #422 38.7 35.1).
Heart of Fear entrance
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 69.0, 74.5 on the Heart of Fear map. Zor'lok shrieks his proclamations so they're heard throughout the sprawling mantid palace. He is the Voice of the Empress, and his words alone inspire the insectoid race's warriors to give their lives without question. Unwaveringly loyal, Zor'lok will stop at nothing to defend his beloved matriarch, regardless of the corruption within her.
Garalon drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 66.5, 16.8 on the Heart of Fear map. It may be time to reconsider stepping on bugs. Don't make fun of this hulking behemoth's tiny wings; that'll just make him angry.
Amber-Shaper Un'sok drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 44.1, 73.7 on the Heart of Fear map. Eager to please his empress, Un'sok has produced several innovative concoctions. Yet this brilliant young alchemist's proximity to the mantid queen has allowed the sha's negative energies to take root in his mind. Now, Un'sok's overwhelming fear of failure drives him to create increasingly deadlier weapons.
Hidden high in the mountains, the Terrace of Endless Spring is the sacred center of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Its peaceful fountains are said to have the power to heal and rejuvenate, but when the Sha of Fear attacked, many of the complex's guardians turned on each other in fits of terror.
The entrance is in The Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61.0 (/way #433 48.1 61.0).
Terrace of Endless Spring entrance
Tsulong drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 69.0, 49.3 on the Terrace of Endless Spring map. Legends speak of a spiraling, golden serpent that can sometimes be seen high in the sky, basking in the sunlight above the clouds. The few who claim to have observed it themselves say the creature is fiercely protective of the terrace.
Lei Shi drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 53.9, 49.3 on the Terrace of Endless Spring map. For countless years, this friendly water spirit frolicked in the Fountains of Endless Spring with childlike wonder and glee. When fighting suddenly broke out in this peaceful place, Lei Shi saw the crystal-clear water turn cloudy and murky, and terror fell over her mind.
