Contents


The aim of this guide is two-fold. First, we want to show you the item sets created for Death Knights: tier sets, PvP sets, BoE; items meant to be worn together, craftable sets, etc.. Second, we want to show you the models of all the items that a Death Knight can wear so that you can design your own sets or complete sets found on our site or elsewhere.

Below, you will find many sets that are still available in the game and that can be used for Transmogrification. We first present thumbnails of all the sets so that you can have a visual overview of what is coming. For each set, we then list the items and explain how to obtain them.

The guide ends with a More Sets section that redirects to The Visual Roleplay Gear List, which is a great resource where you will find many more sets.

1. Overview of the Sets↑top

2. Starting Sets↑top

Death Knights have two starting sets: a green quality set with which every Death Knight starts with and a blue quality set that is obtained after completing quests in the starting zone.

2.1. Green Quality Set

Death Knight Starting Green Set This set is made of the following pieces:

If you have destroyed these pieces, you can buy them from Quartermaster Ozorg atop the Ebon Hold.

2.2. Blue Quality Set

Death Knight Starting Blue Set This set is made of the following pieces:

If you have destroyed these pieces, you can buy them from Quartermaster Ozorg atop the Ebon Hold.

3. PvE Tier Sets↑top

The PvE Tier sets are obtained from raids. They usually receive the most attention from the art teams. As such, they are the most prized pieces of gear for transmogrification.

Each set is usually made of 5 pieces: Head, Shoulders, Chest, Hands (or Feet, in older sets), and Legs; though some sets have 8 pieces (with Wrists, Waist, and Feet being the additional slots). Raid bosses either drop these pieces directly or they drop a token which can be exchanged for a specific piece. Some pieces, and even entire sets, can now be purchased with Justice Points.

3.1. Tier 7 (10-man)

Death Knight PvE Tier 7 Set

Death Knights have 2 Tier 7 sets: a tanking set and a DPS set. These sets look exactly the same. Each set consists of 5 pieces that can be exchanged, with Griselda Hunderland in Dalaran, for tokens that drop from bosses in the first tier of 10-man Northrend raids (Naxxramas and The Obsidian Sanctum). Some of the tokens (Chest and Hands) can also be bought directly from vendors in Dalaran for Justice Points. Additionally, some pieces (Chest, Hands, and Legs) are dropped by Archavon the Stone Watcher in the 10-man version of Vault of Archavon.

3.2. Tier 7.5 (25-man)

Death Knight PvE Tier 7.5 Set

Death Knights have 2 Tier 7-5 sets: a tanking set and a DPS set. These sets look exactly the same. Each set consists of 5 pieces that can be exchanged, with Griselda Hunderland in Dalaran, for tokens that drop from bosses in the first tier of 25-man Northrend raids (Naxxramas and The Obsidian Sanctum). Some tokens (Shoulders and Legs) can also be bought directly from vendors in Dalaran for Justice Points. Additionally, some pieces (Chest, Hands, and Legs) are dropped by Archavon the Stone Watcher in the 25-man version of Vault of Archavon.

3.3. Tier 8 (10-man)

Death Knight PvE Tier 8 Set

Death Knights have 2 Tier 8 sets: a tanking set and a DPS set. These sets look exactly the same. Each set consists of 5 pieces that can be exchanged, with Dubin Clay in Dalaran, for tokens that drop from bosses in the second tier of 10-man Northrend raids (Ulduar). Additionally, some pieces (Hands and Legs) are dropped by Emalon the Storm Watcher in the 10-man version of Vault of Archavon. Unlike other Northrend raid sets, none of the Tier 8 pieces can be bought with Justice Points.

3.4. Tier 8.5 (25-man)

Death Knight PvE Tier 8.5 Set

Death Knights have 2 Tier 8.5 sets: a tanking set and a DPS set. These sets look exactly the same. Each set consists of 5 pieces that can be exchanged, with Dubin Clay in Dalaran, for tokens that drop from bosses in the second tier of 25-man Northrend raids (Ulduar). Some tokens (Head and Chest) can also be bought directly from vendors in Dalaran for Justice Points. Additionally, some pieces (Hands and Legs) are dropped by Emalon the Storm Watcher in the 25-man version of Vault of Archavon.

3.5. Tier 9

Death Knights have 6 Tier 9 sets: 3 tanking sets and 3 DPS sets. Tier 9 sets have an Alliance and a Horde version, but within the same faction, all sets look the same. Tier 9 sets were originally introduced with the third tier of Northrend raids, Trial of the Crusader, the first raid to feature a distinct Heroic difficulty. The sets can be broken down as follows:

Since sets with different item level (within the same faction) look exactly the same, it is easier, for Transmogrification purposes, to obtain item level 232 pieces. However, for completeness, we will list everything.

3.5.1. Tier 9 Item Level 232

The item level 232 Tier 9 sets can be entirely bought with Justice Points from vendors at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown (Aspirant Forudir for Alliance players and Aspirant Naradiel for Horde players) or in Dalaran (Horace Hunderland, both sides). Some pieces (Hands and Legs) also drop from Koralon the Flame Watcher in the 10-man version of Vault of Archavon.

3.5.2. Tier 9 Item Level 245

The item level 245 Tier 9 sets can be bought with a combination of Justice Points and Trophy of the Crusade from vendors at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown: Valiant Laradia (Alliance) and Valiant Bressia (Horde). The Trophy of the Crusade token drops from bosses in Trial of the Crusader: Anub'arak only in the 10-man Heroic version and every boss in the 25-man Normal version. Some pieces (Hands and Legs) also drop from Koralon the Flame Watcher in the 25-man version of Vault of Archavon.

3.5.3. Tier 9 Item Level 258

Each piece of the item level 258 Tier 9 sets can only be bought with a Regalia of the Grand Vanquisher, a token that drops from Anub'arak in the 25-man Heroic version of Trial of the Crusader, from Champion Isimode (Alliance) and Champion Faesrol (Horde) in Icecrown.

3.6. Tier 10

Death Knights have 6 Tier 10 sets: 3 tanking sets and 3 DPS sets. Sets of the same item level have the same model. Tier 10 sets were originally introduced with the fourth and final tier of Northrend raids, Icecrown Citadel. The sets can be broken down as follows:

Death Knight PvE Tier 10.5 Set

The item level 264 Tier 10 sets are bought from Horace Hunderland in Dalaran by turning in pieces from the item level 251 Tier 10 sets with a Vanquisher's Mark of Sanctification, which is a token dropped by the end-wing bosses (Deathbringer Saurfang, Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and The Lich King) in the 10-man Heroic, 25-man Normal, and 25-man Heroic versions of Icecrown Citadel.
