Orc Dreadnaught

Orc wearing Dreadnaught Battlegear

The Dreadnaught's Battlegear is the Warrior Tier 3 Armor Set. Most Tier 3 armor is earned by collecting special items from Naxxramas bosses and other items like Wartorn Plate Scraps, Nexus Crystals, Arcanite Bars, and Inv misc pelt bear 03 [Cured Rugged Hide] and turning them into Korfax at Light's Hope Chapel. The exception is the Ring which drops from the Naxxramas final boss, Kel'Thuzad.

Notes

The original Dreadnaught was the armor of Highlord Mograine, founder of the Scarlet Crusade. Korfax explains the lore:

"The first suit of Dreadnaught armor was made exclusively for the Scarlet Highlord Mograine. Whilst donning the full suit, the Highlord looked himself to be a demon from the depths of the Nether.

Aye, 'twas quite a sight to behold as Mograine would wade into a hundred Scourge, Ashbringer held high, and come out on the other side in a cloud of dust and flames - enemies left in ashes beneath his feet.

It was not until after his controversial death that the knights and warriors of Lordaeron would wear similarly fashioned suits in honor of their fallen hero. While the death of Mograine was a great victory for Kel'Thuzad, the resulting martyrdom would be felt until the end of the war.

Where one did fall, many would rise..."
