Any of the Eclipsion blood elves can drop the armor pieces.

Comment by 16848

Just kill the Blood Elves around Eclipse Point (44, 65). Drop rate is ~20%

Comment by 11660

Remember to get them all to look to the left while you really go right to properly execute a Shadowmoon Shuffle.

i got a 90% drop off of the Arch Mages.
only about 10% of the Centurions dropped for me.

Comment by 40182

The drp rate suked but it was worth it. The guys on ostrices wen u kill them u have to fight the ostric. Beware the blood elfs can heal

Comment by Indignation

The Bloodwarders and Centurions have the best drop rates. The Blood Knight's have close to a 1% drop rate.

Comment by 31426

Please note that drop percentages don't say much when it comes down to quest items, because these mobs are killed much more often then people are doing the quest. The total ammount of kills will therefor be much higher then which will decrease the drop percentage.

Comment by 30414

killed more than 20 elves - nothing

Comment by 72938

To kill Bloodwarders:
If you lay a SnakeTrap (hunters) as the mounted NPC dies, the vipers aggro the mount and it disappears when they die. Saves some time.

Comment by 56155

took me about 20-25 kills get all 6 but with the arcane tomes and sunfury trinkets aswell as 2 greens it wasn't too bad. in terms of drop rate the reason it seems so low is because the place is farmed for sunfury signets and arcane tomes and thers another 2/3 quests to do here

Comment by Dakai

possible lucky number slevin reference? the kansas city shuffle?

Comment by 91987

its neither 20% either 50%
its about 35%
good luck

Comment by Dunbana

i've killed 40 of these things and still only gotten 1.........

Comment by Armstrong

If you haven't already done "Breaching the Path"(http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10773), this is a good combo for it.

EDIT: Sorry for any confusion. I meant "Breaching the Path" is a good quest to do ALSO in this area, not that the mobs that drop the armor pieces are part of the "Breaching the Path" quest. I did both quests at the same time since I was in the area.

Comment by 99104

the men have bigger drop chance than the girls

Comment by 227388

The Shadowmoon Shuffle

Borak, Son of Oronok at the bridge near Eclipse Point in Shadowmoon Valley wants you to recover 6 pieces of Eclipsion Armor.

	Eclipsion Armor (6)

Description

<Borak looks you up and down.>

This is going to be tricky, but I think I can make it work.

I can disguise you as one of these Illidari blood elves, <name>. What I need first, though, are several pieces of their armor. It is imperative that the armor be clean. No blood stains! We want to avoid suspicion.

Bring me the gear and I'll take care of the rest of the disguise.

Once the disguise is assembled, you're going to deliver the message to the Grand Commander - in person.
