Shadowcraft Set Bonuses from the Tunic Tooltip
The Shadowcraft Tunic tooltip shows both the tunic’s stats and all five set bonuses. This Rare tunic with ilvl 63 requires the character to be level 58. It gives +26 Agility and +13 Stamina. The last lines of stats show +12 Spirit and +0.8% chance to hit. Set bonuses increase with each new piece:
- Two pieces - the character receives +8 to all resistances.
- Three pieces - the character’s attack power increases by 30.
- Four pieces - a hit on you has a 5% chance to remove a snare effect. This proc has a 60-second cooldown.
- Five pieces - your melee attacks have a chance to restore 20 energy.
- Six pieces - you restore 15 health every 5 seconds.
Blizzard has revamped the Tier 0 set bonuses in World of Warcraft Forever. The Classic version of this set gave bonuses at even thresholds from two to eight pieces. Each piece from the second to the sixth now unlocks its own bonus. The new system gives all bonuses at just six out of eight pieces. This allows the rogue to fill the remaining slots with other items.
Shadowcraft Armor Drop Locations
All eight pieces of armor drop in three Eastern Kingdoms dungeons. These are Scholomance in the Western Plaguelands, Stratholme in the Eastern Plaguelands, and Blackrock Spire in Blackrock Mountain. Each item has its own source and drop chance in Classic:
| Item | Source | Dungeon | Chance in Classic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tunic | General Drakkisath | Upper Blackrock Spire | 11% |
| Cap | Darkmaster Gandling | Scholomance | 11% |
| Pants | Baron Rivendare | Stratholme | 11% |
| Spaulders | Cannon Master Willey | Stratholme | 20% |
| Gloves | Shadow Hunter Vosh'gajin | Lower Blackrock Spire | 21% |
| Boots | Rattlegore | Scholomance | 16% |
| Belt | trash | Blackrock Spire | depends on the mob |
| Bracers | Instructor Malicia and trash | Scholomance, Stratholme | 5% from the boss |
These percentages apply to Classic because Blizzard does not publish drop rates for Forever. The Cap, Tunic, and Pants drop from the final bosses of their respective dungeons. Each run for these three items therefore goes from the entrance to the end of the instance. Our boosters clear Scholomance, Upper Blackrock Spire, and Stratholme with your character and repeat the run until you get all the loot from the order. You won’t have to find a group for each of these runs.
Rogue Pre-Raid BiS and Devilsaur Choice
Level 60 rogues collect Shadowcraft set before their first raids in Barrow Deeps and Hyjal Summit. Blizzard has changed the stats of dungeon items in Forever. That's why players don’t have a single list of rogue pre-raid BiS gear. The Devilsaur Gauntlets and Devilsaur Leggings from Leatherworking with a +2% hit bonus for two pieces remain a competitor to this set. But this pair no longer holds the same advantage as before.
We consider the best combination to be six pieces of the set plus Devilsaur Gauntlets and Leggings instead of Gloves and Pants. This combination gives the rogue all five Tier 0 bonuses and +2% hit until the first raid tier from Hyjal Summit. An alternative to farming is bidding on the Black Market Auction House (BMAH) in Powderfuse Port (Riverglades). The BMAH has listed Shadowcraft Spaulders and Tunic from 400 g. This option suits rogues who are missing one of these two items.
