About Dreadnaught's Battlegear
Dreadnaught's Battlegear consists of 9 items (8 armor pieces + a ring) of plate. The finished pieces do not drop directly: Naxxramas bosses drop non-attuned Desecrated ‹slot› tokens, which you turn in to Korfax, Champion of the Light at Light's Hope Chapel together with crafting materials. Set bonuses scale at 2, 4, 6 and 8 armor pieces.

Where to farm: Desecrated tokens
Each slot is crafted from its Desecrated token. Classes of the same armor type share the same token, so the whole raid competes for Naxxramas boss drops. Here is who drops what:
| Slot | Token | Dropped by |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Desecrated Helmet | Thaddius (Construct Quarter) |
| Shoulders | Desecrated Pauldrons | Patchwerk, Grobbulus, Gluth (Construct Quarter) |
| Chest | Desecrated Breastplate | The Four Horsemen (Military Quarter) |
| Wrist | Desecrated Bracers | Anub'Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, Gluth (Arachnid/Construct) |
| Hands | Desecrated Gauntlets | Maexxna (Arachnid Quarter) |
| Waist | Desecrated Waistguard | Noth, Heigan, Gluth (Plague Quarter/Construct) |
| Legs | Desecrated Legplates | Loatheb (Plague Quarter) |
| Feet | Desecrated Sabatons | Instructor Razuvious, Gothik the Harvester (Military Quarter) |
| Ring | Desecrated Ring | Kel'Thuzad (final boss) |
Besides the token you need crafting materials: Wartorn Scraps from Naxxramas trash, Nexus/Arcanite crystals, cured hides or Mooncloth (by armor type) and gold. No reputation is required for the exchange — only to enter the raid (Honored with the Argent Dawn).
Farming tip
Dreadnaught is a pure tanking set: the 4- and 6-piece bonuses boost the hit chance of your threat abilities, while the 8-piece bonus is an emergency lifesaver for the main tank during burst phases.
Tier 3 on WoW x5
On WoW x5 the increased rate speeds up leveling to 60, but farming Dreadnaught's Battlegear requires a full 40+ raid guild and steady Naxxramas progress. Prioritise the key slots (chest, legs, head) to reach the 4- and 6-piece bonuses faster.
