Tier 2 Armor Tokens in Season of Discovery - Which Bosses Drop Them?
Tier 2 armor tokens can be acquired in Season of Discovery Phase 5, but their drop locations follow a very different pattern from Classic Era Blackwing Lair. Using the Wowhead Client, we've been able to gather locations and drop percentages for all of the Season of Discovery Tier 2 armor tokens.

Tier 2 in Season of Discovery
While players may have assumed that the Tier Tokens for each slot would drop from the same bosses as Classic Era, that is not always the case in Season of Discovery. Some have remained the same, such as Nefarian and chest tokens, but there are many changes to the earlier bosses.

- Boots: Broodlord Lashlayer
- Chest: Nefarian
- Gloves: Razorgore the Untamed
- Helm: Ebonroc & Flamegor
- Legs: Firemaw, Vaelastrasz the Corrupt
- Shoulders: Chromaggus
