The Druid tier set is the raid armor WoW Forever adds for the class, with a new design and bonuses matched to your role. Each spec has a version of its own, so the spec you play decides which pieces you chase.
The colors come first, then the bonuses for each spec. After that come the routes to the pieces — and there is more than one.
Druids get four tier sets with the same six slots and the same look. Grovekeeper Raiment belongs to Restoration, Grovekeeper Rage to Guardian, Grovekeeper Eclipse to Balance and Grovekeeper Ferocity to Feral; bonuses activate at two, three, four and five equipped pieces. Five is the cap.
These are the current beta sets. Each set has six raid slots, and crafted shoulders, gloves, legs and boots count toward the same set; a Druid's crafted pieces also have an equip limit.
Hyjal Summit is planned for 20 players and the Barrow Deeps for 10, with both raids opening on December 9, 2026. The Restoration raid pieces below are item level 65 leather, bind when picked up (BoP) and require level 60.
The Guardian, Balance and Feral raid item names are unconfirmed in the current beta.
| Slot | Restoration piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Grovekeeper Cover | 160 |
| Shoulder | Grovekeeper Pauldrons | 148 |
| Chest | Grovekeeper Chestguard | 197 |
| Hands | Grovekeeper Handguards | 123 |
| Legs | Grovekeeper Legguards | 173 |
| Feet | Grovekeeper Boots | 136 |
Item stats stay hidden until a piece drops for someone on your realm. The raids won't have a dungeon journal at first.
The crafted pieces are item level 61 leather and bind when equipped (BoE), so a Druid can acquire one from a leatherworker. They require level 60 and count toward their matching Grovekeeper set.
| Slot | Restoration piece | Guardian piece | Balance piece | Feral piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder | Grovekeeper Pauldrons | Grovekeeper Spaulders | Grovekeeper Shoulderpads | Grovekeeper Mantle | 140 |
| Hands | Grovekeeper Handguards | Grovekeeper Gauntlets | Grovekeeper Grips | Grovekeeper Mitts | 117 |
| Legs | Grovekeeper Legguards | Grovekeeper Leggings | Grovekeeper Trousers | Grovekeeper Kilt | 164 |
| Feet | Grovekeeper Boots | Grovekeeper Treads | Grovekeeper Stompers | Grovekeeper Sandals | 129 |
Tier crafts use Malleable Essence of Nature, which comes from disenchanting items from Hyjal Summit or the Barrow Deeps.
The recipes need a Sewing Machine, a Leatherworking 300 camp object that requires a nearby Campfire and provides the benefits of a Camp Tent. Blueprint: Sewing Machine teaches the object.
Advanced Blueprints drop from dungeon bosses; our WoW Forever professions guide covers the crafting camps.
The crafted pieces are Unique-Equipped: Artisan's Tier (1), so the starting limit is one. The Rousing Seed Pod raises the limit to two; it costs 10 gold and requires level 60 and Revered with the Guardians of Hyjal.
With one crafted piece, a 5-piece bonus needs four raid pieces; after the Seed Pod, three raid pieces plus two crafted pieces of the same set reach five. Two crafted pieces of that set also activate its 2-piece bonus. Head and chest remain raid slots.
On Essence cost alone, shoulders, gloves and boots tie for the cheapest craft.
One pattern purchase plus one shoulder, glove or boot craft costs 9 Essence (6 for the pattern and 3 for the craft); a leg craft costs 13 (8 plus 5). Later crafts use 3 Essence for the other slots or 5 for legs, since the pattern is already learned.
Both vendors are in Mount Hyjal. Aisarra Nightmeadow (71, 51.2) sells the sixteen Druid patterns for Malleable Essence of Nature, while Rhylin Stonethorn (70.6, 51.2) sells the Rousing Seed Pod; the patterns require Leatherworking 300 and bind when picked up.
Leg patterns require Friendly with the Guardians of Hyjal and completion of "Friendly Advice". The other patterns require further reputation progress and specialization in their slot: Gloves, Shoulders or Boots.

Natural Shapeshifter reduces the Mana cost of shapeshifting, and Shifting Power accepts effects that reduce shapeshifting costs. In Restoration, Gift of the Earthmother reduces the global cooldown of Swiftmend, the spell named by Grovekeeper Raiment's 5-piece bonus.
