So who's happy the mage tower is back?

[Necrofenix-veknilash (Necrofenix)]

hope they improve priest challenges as previous feedback was they being horrible.

anyway, i have made a few posts regarless of cheap/free gear you can obtain and what specs/chalenges you can do fairly easy for the 7 achievement book. (not done the healer because i never healed so i might never get the book mount)

basicly, get lvl50 gear and enchant it, u dont need to chunk huge gold on pvp gear (at first i did on my warrior then i realised i was just throwing away gold) when u can get either SoS mythic gear, legion LFR or cheap crafted greens, or even nethershard vendor, as long as they are lvl50 or below for enchants
the biggest impact are the enchants (also detailed in the topic)

Mage Tower March preparations

below are either easy to get, cheap or both. SoO gear when fully gemmed (costly if u dont have the gems) and correct bonus has around +3 mainstat over a lvl50 nethershard slot but has slightly less secondary stats. any lvl50 legion gear with a socket beats SoO gear. ALSO, any LFR legion gear is lvl50 so it can be enchanted with old and good enchants. you can target farm ur bis stats in legion LFR. my sugestions below head unless ur a crit class that will stack crit as main stat you can have…

as you can see, you dont even need to be max level, i do recommend being lvl51 just to be able to use some SL consumables
flasks have low impact in stats, you can use the cheap wod flasks and you will be fine, no need to go overboard with expensive ones
potions of unbridged fury have a big impact on nuke phases, this u need to invest some
any drums will work inside the mage tower regarless of ur level, so get the cheaper ones

hope that helps you out

And permanent this time.

Could not care less.

I’m not a good enough player to complete them at launch day templates.

So i need Antorus gear or at least higher templates than it has currently

@Clergy-the-shatar

Am I right in thinking the best way to do these is to farm mythic atorus for a few weeks then dig out my old Legion Legendaries?

Old legendaries don’t work.

[Sinead-argent-dawn-872197]

Glad I can get the hunter set with no rush. I spent way too long on the arms warrior one last time I ran out of time lol

[Paladerp-quelthalas]

Which trinkets? Having a really hard time with rogue ones as my dmg isn’t good enough to beat enrage timer.

@Orisanct-silvermoon

They need to nerf the hell out of the healer challenge to bring it back in line what it was in Legion, the allies weren’t made of paper back in Legion. Other than that idc.

They are totally paper back then too. I had heard that grandma wanting to “sit a spell” (aka she died) so often that I will have it in my head until the day I die.

The healing challenge is exactly what it feels to be the healer of the worst group imaginable

[Bregastor-nemesis]

I remember the one from Nythendria (EN) being talked about being really good.

[Orisanct-silvermoon]

@Seluniel-nordrassil

They are totally paper back then too.

Nah, you could let the mage mob reach 4 stacks, stun it and let it drop off.

Now with this iteration, the allies were dying at 2 stacks even. You’re busy trading GCDs with it to dispel the buff and hope they’ll go the mage instead of breaking CCs on other targets.

[Seluniel-nordrassil]

Then they are not paper, they are (real life) spider webs (aka even more fragile).

[Zulkarr-draenor]

The Mage tower should never have been removed. Simply put. This is not a MOBILE game. Ye oldie tower being available to new players who want to have a bit of fun. Does not detract in any way.

Here is the real upshot though. We can finally start moving towards true ever green content. Content that is not meant to be played over and over again like world quests, but content that is always relevant. Like the mage tower.

[Darunia-laughing-skull]

Seed pod from 1st boss om emerald nightmare is crazy good. Seething eye of sethe for casters or pala iirc.

As long as the reward is that ugly recoloured armor, it’s irrelevant to me.

[Heist-quelthalas]

mage tower as it is will drive more people away from the game than make people want to keep playing imo.

[Darunia-laughing-skull]

Weren’t you taking a ‘break’ from the forum? Or was that thread in case you actually got that ban?

[Hairyclown-pyrewood-village]

I’m very happy that it’s back.

For two reasons:

1. I read a lot of cry posts about it the past months
   and
2. Mage tower doesn’t affect me.

Thank you for your time

My ban turned out to only be for 1 day. A lot less than I had expected.
But on topic: I’m not happy about the MT.

by getting them banned for seeking external help?

[anon76591892]

I actually quite happy to do MT now. No pressure and I just jump into it and make the most of the experience. I have a lot fun to just learn the class more and explore the whole toolkit of each class and spec.

I don’t use any pots or food or other buffs just go with the gear I have in bag and and play around with that. 3 classes done atm. And man you rly realize that you didn’t know all of you alt at all.

Best content in SL since CN!

[Hørdilicious-ravencrest]

Super happy. The month mage tower was out at the end of last year was some of the most fun I’ve had on WoW in years.

Maybe I’ll come up with some sort of challenge for myself to get back in there. Cos right now I want to play it, but feel kinda like I need a goal

[Heist-quelthalas]

You were a huge help, thank you.
