#Mage tower 9.1 5 rewards Patch#

The Mage Tower was expected to be a challenge of course, but now that it’s part of Timewalking, everything scales down to Legion-levels when you attempt it. Making the Mage Tower balanced without the Legion Artifact abilities players had when it was current content or the Shadowlands Covenant abilities players have now, and considering all the possible gear options players could use, has proven to be a tall order. Since the Mage Tower went live two weeks ago there have been numerous complaints about the difficulty of the challenges, resulting in a series of nerfs to encounters as well as an extension of the Legion Timewalking event into early January. But it’s been a little problematic for the WoW dev team, who have struggled to find the right balance so it’s difficult enough to be challenging without being impossible. The return of the Mage Tower was something a lot of players looked forward to, and it should have been cause for celebration. In addition, completing all seven of the challenges across multiple toons rewards players with the Soaring Spelltome, a book mount unlike anything we’ve seen in-game before. While the original Mage Tower rewards haven’t made a comeback, a new werebear form was added for Guardian Druids, and recolors of tier 20 armor were added for each class.

The single-player challenge of Mage Tower had reached iconic status in the World of Warcraft community with its limited-time rewards - the werebear Guardian Druid form being the most obviously unique, but it was also the only place so far a character could acquire a flail weapon appearance - so its return was big news.
