• Zaan’s drops in veteran Scalecaller Peak. (dungeon)
• Relequen drops in Cloudrest(Trial) (will parse highest)
• Whorl of the Depths drops in Dreadsail Reef (trial)
  Note: Whorl may feel better than Relequen in content as it will provide more pen/sustain
• Pillar of Nirn drops in Falkreath Hold (dungeon)
• Kilt – Here is how you get the Harpooner’s Wading Kilt

Yes you are wearing one piece Relequen, one piece Nirn on the front bar so you can maintain the 4 piece bonus of both sets at all times. Yes, that means you have 6 pieces of Nirn on in total. Yes this is the optimal loadout this patch 🙂
