Hello,
We are probably at the half of the expansion and this mess of a convenant feature is still harder to do then the new raid, while the other convenant features are super easy for the same rewards (convenant specific ofc).
Not only is it way overtunned and some fights can only be completed by exploiting bugs, u also have to farm ALOT of maths and token for entry, yup thats right just like in mage tower, but guess what they nerfed that in Legion so people could just try and do the hard content not farm stuff to just participate.
I dont know why im posting this here since the game is already on life support, but yeah, all the topics on both forums and on social media is about how stupid this is, get a grip Blizzard.

Why even bother doing it? It’s awful content, just ignore it so they can see no one does and it draw the rightful conclusion that it sucks.

Altho what you say is logic, its just Blizzard and they wont care, they alwways just slap some stuff there and leave it to rot.
I wanted the tmog from it, and since im more of a loner, i like the solo play stuff, but this is like you said trash content, dosent come close to the mage tower in any way posibile.
I thought id just share my thoughts about how stupid and unfair this is.
Has no clue what this was untill now.
So its a mage tower but with no unique rewards, just more reskins of bland mounts and a mailbox that engineers have aswell? Cool beans.
Fun side story : mained this paladin since tbc. With all the rank 1 pvp content people in the ptr for shadowlands saying holy pala was gonna be dog-poop in pvp, and this being the expansion i decided to get really into arena, i decided to shelf the paladin.
Bad idea, since it turned out to be the most OP healer in a while. Then i couldnt bring myself to level it out of spite. So i went with shaman, which was a bad idea in s1, but great now in s2. But now i went back Pala, when everyone says they are bad again. Sadge.
Anyway, now afew days ago i hit 60 so its my first kyrian.
Anna posted a load of guides in another thread the other day, I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit:-
I have put off doing this covenant extra event thing, I’m still doing my Venthyr parties, when I’m done with all that I will probably consider doing one of the others. I dread the Kyrian one the most.

I know it shouldn’t be necessary, but as someone who just finished these achievements, I’d recommend practicing on PTR so you can get the hang of the fights without wasting your medallions. Once you learn the timings and general strategies the fights become easier. I got the entire transmog set from start to finish within a week. A lot of the fights can even be done without charms. The hardest one by far was mad mortimer as kleia. Enrage on this one is quite tight and you really need to learn how to keep the bosses stacked up the entire time for more cleave dmg. But yeah, definitely not something you should go into blind or you will end up wasting medallions. Read up on the fights and strategies, and watch guides before you attempt. It is definitely possible though.
Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely overtuned, I’m just trying to give you some motivation not to give up, cause that’s all I needed in the end to get it done.

Me when reading the description of the last Path of Ascension for 15k anima improving the dmg and health of your soulbinds : 
Me when I realized it’s just +5% health and dmg : 
Now I understand why I haven’t seen a single person with the forsworn mog.

At least kyrian is an actual activity, better than build a bear necro and farmer john night fae.
yup, Id love the transmog but I know Im not going to be able to finish all the fights (I was **** at the Mage Tower too!LOL).
Shame as I just had the matching Aquilon mount drop today…
Comparatively I’d say path of ascension is easier than original mage tower, since you only get 4 abilities to use. It’s really just a matter of understanding the timings of the fight and knowing where to be. Positioning and knowing what ability to use when is the key.
I was happy about the feature while waiting for 9.1. But tbh I also managed some of the bosses after watching some guides 
I will continue my last achiv on renown 80 + cheese ofc, u can’t do the fight normal ways it’s impossible.
Not sure which one you are missing, but I completed every humility fight with all 3 fighters earlier this week
I’m currently with the Kyrian and I straight out just skip this whole horrible thing.
I will NEVER like any part of the game where I don’t get to play MY character. I rolled my character and my class to play THAT character and THAT class.
Not some weird creature. Not a machine. Not a mount. No. MY character.
/end rant

Il upgrade the building and see how it goes, dont have souls tho cuz i skipped most convenant things LOL
Increase the number of crystals you get passively to participate? Sure
Reduce the number of quests and materials needed to get the items/charms? Go ahead
Fix any number of bugs/exploits? Again sure
But PLEASE do not reduce the difficulty, not even by a tiny bit. I am at the 4th rank of trial of ascension (mainly because i started doing it on an alt that i had kyrian, so i am gated by anima), and i love those fights. Every time that i wipe and try again makes the kill all the more worthy.
This mini-game is one of the few GREAT things about shadowlands, it would be a shame to just remove any difficulty.
P.S. The difficulty level is somewhat similar to pre-nerf layer 8 torghast, which was doable but took some tries. I feel that its pretty rewarding, as long as it is a one-time trial that you never HAVE to redo.
You my friend are the only 1 who enjoys this, and ive read wowhead both forums reddit about this LOL

Well, I am glad that I offered a different perspective then 
.
I mean, its not that I do not get the frustration/disappointment/rage when something goes wrong (from bugs, rng, lag, to my own failings). I just feel that those things add to the eventual enjoyment when you finally defeat those enemies.
And to repeat myself, removing all the needed mats/anima/quests would only make the experience better. The minigame is by no means perfect, just that the difficulty is one of the good things it has.
