Scholomance Boss & Tier 0.5 Loot Guide

Start with the piece you need

Scholomance sits between Blackrock Mountain and the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Enter with the class whose collection you want to fill. Its five bosses cover all eight armor slots and the full class weapon reward.

Arrival times use the run clock. An undefeated boss delays the next arrival, so these are not deadlines that make the previous encounter disappear.

Armor: one roll, with missing pieces first

The first four bosses each have a 50% base chance to award one armor piece from their two slots. A kill cannot give both.

For example, if you own the helm but still need the shoulders, Kirtonos's successful armor roll awards the shoulders. Check the Armory's collection-aware chance when planning the next run; account perks can modify the base chances.

Gandling: the complete weapon reward

Gandling has a 25% base chance to award your class's fixed weapon reward. Rogue receives Mirah's Song and Bonescraper together; Shaman receives Hand of Edward the Odd and Crest of Retribution together. Other classes receive one weapon. Weapons have their own stats and upgrades, but do not count as armor set pieces.

Prepare a build that keeps working while you dodge

Bring dependable boss damage, a way to handle the surrounding pack, and enough recovery to survive mistakes. A build that mostly triggers damage after kills can feel comfortable in the opening waves and stall when a boss remains alive.

Use a ready-made class plan as a starting point. For Beast Mastery, add Kill Command once you have a pet. For a shield build, distinguish the amount of shield you currently have from its maximum capacity. A large capacity does not mean it is already filled.

Read each boss's floor pattern

Move toward the next safe area before collecting distant pickups. During overlapping warnings, preserve a route through the room instead of retreating automatically toward the nearest wall. For a melee build, use the space after an attack resolves to return to range.

The four corner Guardians are Risen Construct, Necrofiend, Spectral Tutor and Scholomance Dark Summoner. Approach one when the current fight leaves you room to handle another threat; adding a Guardian while a boss has blocked your escape can turn a manageable pull into a failed run.

Turn the clear into a set bonus

The collection has nine sets and 83 items: 72 armor pieces and 11 weapons. Use the Tier 0.5 guide to match a set to the talents it strengthens.

• Four armor pieces at 1+ stars: unlock the first set effect.
• All eight armor pieces at 3+ stars: unlock the main skill effect.
• All eight armor pieces at 5 stars: empower that effect.

Clear Scholomance on Heroic N with the relevant class to unlock N-star upgrades, up to five. Spend Marks on a useful threshold rather than upgrading an isolated slot without checking what the rest of the set needs.
