The beta for WoW Forever has given players a new way to reexperience the world of Azeroth, exploring new dungeons, quests and finding tons of old gear that has been reworked and changed.
One of the many new things that players have managed to find on the WoW Forever beta is the change to an old armor set from Classic. The Embrace of the Viper armor set from Wailing Caverns has been updated, giving players a few new set bonuses, and a new secret cosmetic Snake form for Druid players.

How To Get The Druid Snake Form In WoW Forever
Druid players can unlock this new Snake form by collecting all 5 pieces of the reimagined Embrace of the Viper armor set from the Wailing Caverns dungeon.
The Embrace of the Viper set drops from different enemies and bosses throughout the Wailing Caverns dungeon.
The table below lists which enemies/bosses drop the Embrace of the Viper set items.
| Item Name | Drops From |
| Gloves Of The Fang | Druid of the Fang (Trash mobs inside the dungeon) |
| Belt Of The Fang | Lady Anacondra |
| Footpads Of The Fang | Lord Serpentis |
| Leggings Of The Fang | Lord Cobrahn |
| Armor Of The Fang | Lord Pythas |
Collecting and equipping all 5 pieces of the set will change your cat form into the new Snake form. Each Druid race has its own unique colour of snake, allowing you to slither your way across the world of Azeroth.
The Snake form seems to be purely cosmetic and doesn’t add any new effects to combat, with all of the Druid abilities visually and audibly still acting as if you were a cat. Unequipping any of the 5 set pieces from the Embrace of the Viper set will remove the Snake form and return you to the normal Druid cat form.
How to Get to the Wailing Caverns Dungeon
If you are looking to obtain the Druid Snake form you will need to get the items from the Wailing Caverns Dungeon. This Dungeon is located in The Barrens inside of a cave around the Lushwater Oasis.
/way #1413 46.0 36.4 (Wailing Caverns Cave Entrance)
Getting to The Wailing Caverns as a Horde player is relatively simple, only needing to head South West from the Crossroads, but as an Alliance player you may have a little bit more trouble.
As an Alliance player you will need to either travel through Darkshore and then Ashenvale to arrive in The Barrens, heading South to get to the Wailing Cavern. Or, you can take a boat from Booty Bay that will take you to Rachet, from which you will be able to run directly West to arrive at the Wailing Caverns entrance.
Once you have made your way to the Wailing Caverns Cave Entrance turn right and follow the cave down until you find the Entrance to the dungeon.

Changes to the Embrace of the Viper Set
Along with the Snake Form for Druids, the base set bonuses and stats for the Embrace of the Viper set has changed. With all of the items having increased stats across the board and the set bonuses giving you more stats earlier in the set and then giving you unique effects as you acquire more of the set items.
The tables below lists both the old and new Embrace of the Viper set from WoW Classic and WoW Forever.
Classic Era Embrace of the Viper Set:
| Set Number | Bonus |
| 2 Set | Increases damage done by Nature spells and effects by up to 7. |
| 3 Set | Increases Staves +2 |
| 4 Set | Increases healing done by spells and effects by up to 11. |
| 5 Set | +10 Intellect |
WoW Forever Embrace of the Viper Set:
| Set Number | Bonus |
| 2 Set | +10 Intellect |
| 3 Set | +10 Attack Power |
| 4 Set | Taking damage while at or below 25% health causes you to restore 100 health and mana over 5 seconds. This effect can only trigger once every 5 minutes. |
| 5 Set | Grants your melee attacks a chance to inflict Dream Venom, stunning the target for 1 second. |
With these new changes to the Embrace of the Viper set it will likely become more desirable for other early level leather and hybrid classes.
Tip: The five-set bonus doesn’t seem to have an internal cooldown, meaning you could proc multiple Dream Venom stuns back to back if you are lucky.
