InWoW SoDseveral items in dungeons intended for players level 40 to 50 were updated for the release of Phase 3. Among these items isEmbrace of the Lycan, a leather headpiece that went from a relatively forgettable Rare to one of the most sought-after pieces ofgear for many leather-wearing classes.
The method to get Embrace of the Lycan remains largely unchanged, though. This guide explains what stats were changed on the Embrace of the Lycan inWoWSoD P3, and the method to get it. Be prepared – at about 1/10 drop rate, it will likely take several runs to nabthis pre-BiS piece of gear.

Embrace of the Lycan is a Leather Head armor that is a piece of pre-BiS Phase 3 gear for several classes – and is the outright best-in-slot for some. In vanillaWoWEmbrace of the Lycan was available, but its stats were updated forWoWSoD.
In vanilla, the set granted STR, STAM, and Spirit. InWoW SoD, Embrace of the Lycan replaces the Spirit stat with Agility, and adds a few points to its Strength and Stamina bonuses. It still grants +32 AP as in vanilla, and still requires level 45 to be equipped.
How To Get Embrace of the Lycan
The Embrace of the Lycan location is inside Zul’Farrak as a possible drop from the dungeon’s final boss Chief Ukorz Sandscalp. you’re able to’t simply skip to the end and farm this boss for the Embrace of the Lycan drop, though.
You must finish the Pyramid segment of Zul’Farrak, in which players ascend the Pyramid and defeat waves of Trolls on their way back down. Then, you must defeat Sergeant Bly and co. when they betray the party after reaching the bottom.
The door to Chief Ukorz Sandscalp and the end of the dungeon only opens once the goblin in Sergeant Bly’s group blows up the entrance. When the way is opened, head up the central slope and take on the Chief. The Embrace of the Lycan drop chance is around 10%, so you may need to complete several full runs of the dungeon to get it.
If you finish theWild Gods questlinein SoD Phase 3, Zul’Farrak (specifically Gahz’Rilla) is one of the three boss options forfarming Wild Offerings. Get your Wild Gods Rune from the quest, then head to Zul’Farrak to farm Embrace of the Lycan and Wild Offerings both.
