Armor set
From WoWWiki
Class Sets
Every class has "dungeon", "raid", and "PvP" equipment sets available to them. These sets are typically head, shoulder, chest, wrist, hands, waist, legs, and feet items (8 pieces altogether), but set composition can vary dramatically.
Theoretically, these sets benefit the activity one engages in to acquire them: PvP sets are best in PvP situations, raid sets in raid situations, etc., but some players have found it more beneficial to mix and match.
All sets give extra bonuses when wearing multiple pieces of the set.
Dungeon sets
- Dungeon Set 1 aka Tier 0 (8 pieces)
- The items that form these sets may be found in the lvl 58-60 instances (Stratholme, Scholomance, Upper, and Lower Blackrock Spire).
- Dungeon Set 2 aka Tier 0.5 (8 pieces)
- Since Patch 1.10, the items from dungeon set 1 can be upgraded by a quest chain, to form the dungeon set 2.
- Dungeon Set 3 aka Tier 3.5 (5 pieces)
- Obtained from high non-raid instances in Outland (Shattered Halls, The Steamvault, Sethekk Halls, Shadow Labyrinth, Botanica, Mechanar, Arcatraz, and Black Morass). The sets which have class specific bonuses drop from non-heroic instances, while some parts of the universal sets drops from heroic instances.
Raid sets
- Tier 1 (8 pieces)
- The first epic set, and the easiest to obtain. Six of the eight Tier 1 items for each class drop from respective bosses in Molten Core. The other two pieces (belt and bracers) drop from random trash mobs in the same instance.

- Tier 4 (5 pieces)

Non-Class Sets
Non-class sets are not restricted by class. Any class that is qualified to wear the armor type can wear the set. Technically, all Dungeon 1 and all Dungeon 3 sets are non-class sets, as they don't have a class requirement. However, some sets, including all Dungeon 1 and some Dungeon 3 sets, are aimed at specific classes due to the bonuses on the sets. All non-class sets give extra bonuses when wearing multiple pieces of the set.
