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 (8 pieces)
- The items that form these sets may be found in the lvl 58-60 instances (Stratholme, Scholomance, Upper, and Lower Blackrock Spire), set pieces have level requirements of 52-58. The pieces occupy the chest, feet, hands, head, legs, shoulders, waist, and wrist slots.
- Dungeon Set 2 (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.

The pieces occupy the chest, feet, hands, head, legs, shoulders, waist, and wrist slots.
Raid sets[]
Sets require level 60.
- Tier 1 (8 pieces)

The other two pieces (belt and bracers) drop from random trash mobs in the same instance. The pieces occupy the chest, feet, hands, head, legs, shoulder, waist, and wrist slots.

- These items can be found on Ragnaros in Molten Core, Onyxia in Onyxia's Lair, and the Blackwing Lair bosses. The pieces occupy the chest, feet, hands, head, legs, shoulder, waist, and wrist slots.
- Tier 3 (9 pieces)
- These sets are the largest of all tier sets, with nine armor pieces each. Of these sets, eight are obtainable by gathering specific items from bosses and trash mobs in Naxxramas as well as professions and delivering them to Light's Hope Chapel. The ninth piece is a ring, which is dropped by Kel'Thuzad. The pieces occupy the chest, finger*, feet, hands, head, legs, shoulder, waist, and wrist slots.

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 sets are non-class sets, as they don't have a class requirement. However, some sets, including all Dungeon 1 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.
