Tier 3

Tier 3 sets: Warrior, Priest, Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, Shaman, Mage, Druid and Paladin

Tier 3 is an armor set that was acquired from the original level 60 version of Naxxramas. This was the first nine-piece set that, in addition to the traditional eight armor slots, also included a tier ring. The replacement Tier 7 sets, which drop from the level 80 version of Naxxramas, use the same models with different color palettes.

Acquiring a full eight-piece set awards the Achievement boss kelthuzad 01 [Drop Dead, Gorgeous] feat of strength.

Between Wrath of the Lich King and Mists of Pandaria there was no way for players to acquire new pieces. Patch 5.0.5 added a chance to see pieces of these sets put up on the Black Market Auction House, with an opening bid of 10,000g. This was the only way to acquire pieces until patch 10.1.5 added a new acquisition method.

Pre-Wrath of the Lich King acquisition[]

The items that form these sets are quest rewards. The quests required, among other things, token drops from bosses in Naxxramas. The only exception are the rings, which dropped directly from Kel'Thuzad.

Secrets of Naxxramas acquisition[]

Zackett Skullsmash

Zackett Skullsmash

In patch 10.1.5, a method of crafting Tier 3 was added that did not depend on the Black Market Auction House.

Players must first unlock access to original Scholomance by earning the Inv misc book 11 [Memory of Scholomance] achievement. They must next unlock the secrets of Naxxramas by earning the Inv jewelry talisman 12 [Wards of the Dread Citadel] achievement. After that they must craft a Ability rogue grapplinghook [Makeshift Grappling Hook] from items within Naxxramas. Using the Grappling Hook, they must then find and awaken Zackett Skullsmash with some Inv potion 75 [Stratholme Holy Water] and complete his N [1-70] Inconvenience Fee quest.

Once all of that is done, Zackett opens up shop and trades 3x Inv trinket naxxramas03 [Death's Bargaining Chip] for a piece of Dented equipment. That dented equipment has a chance of rolling a Lamented Crusader's piece, which, when combined with the appropriate cursed reagent (such as Inv fabric purple 01 [Cursed Cloth]) from a crafter who already has the Achievement boss kelthuzad 01 [Drop Dead, Gorgeous] achievement, becomes a Desecrated piece. That desecrated piece can then turn into the tier piece after combining with 70-280x Trade alchemy foldedghostiron [Phylacterweave] and 10x Inv misc gem pearl 03 [Righteous Orb].

A full eight-piece set thus requires 1,400 Phylacterweave (or 2,800,000g!) and 80 Righteous Orbs plus the Crafting Order cost for the cursed reagents and some incredible luck for the Lamented Crusader's rolls.
