Last updated on Feb 17, 2023 at 23:20by Panthea1 comment

Patch 10.0.5 has re-opened the Mage Tower Challenge, meaning you can onceagain complete and collect the various rewards offered! As it stands, the MageTower will remain open until the end of the expansion, so there should be plentyof time.

This challenge, The God-Queen's Fury is meant for most of thefollowing DPS specializations: Arcane Mage,Assassination Rogue,Demonology Warlock,Enhancement Shaman,and Retribution Paladin.You can queue for the Mage Tower challenges with the Mage Tower NPC (War Councilor Victoria)in the Broken Shore hub area.

In order to reach this NPC, you can take a portal from Orgrimmar / Stormind'sportal room to Azsuna and then fly or take the flight path to the Broken Shorehub, Deliverance Point, or use your Dalaran Hearthstone and fly.

In this challenge you will need to defeat Sigryn and her two henchmenwhilst dealing with a number of mechanics that will force you to constantly movearound the arena.

Everything on this encounter spawns on a set timer so cooldown management isa must for success. These will be detailed in the strategy section below.

Inside the Timewalking Mage Tower Challenge, you will be scaled down to Level45 and have your gear scaled to item level 120. You should focus on items containing sockets, as these are still active (but scaled down) in the Mage Tower.Additionally, all challenges can be completed with current gear, but you can optimizegear sets to gain even more power. A complete list of Best in Slot gear forevery class can be found on the Timewalking Discord.

The effects below will not function within the Timewalking Mage Towerevent:

• Dragonflight Embellishments
• Any Covenant-related effects (Covenant Ability,Signature Ability, Soulbinds, Conduits)
• Legendary Powers from Shadowlands or Legion (theitems will still provide stats, their equip effects will not)
• Legendary items from Questlines ( Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve,Warlords of Draenor Legendary Rings, Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest, Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings)
• Any Shards of Domination
• Any Battle for Azeroth systems (Azerite Gear, Traits, Essences)
• Any tier set bonuses
• Mists of Pandaria Legendary Meta Gems

With the current tuning of the Timewalking Challenges optimising your gearis not required by any means.

A quick and easy way to obtain gear for the Mage Tower is to run through Legionraids. These items can also randomly roll with a socket on them which can giveyou additional stats and are eligible for old enchants.

If you have a friend who is Level 44/45 or a second account with a characterthat is Level 44/45 you are able to make full use of Chromie Time to get evenbetter gear for the Timewalking Mage Tower.

You will run dungeons with that Level 44/45 character and when they loot anitem you need, they will trade it to you.

You will want to target items with a high amount of sockets as gems do notscale down and legacy gems from the TBC/Wrath era contain primary stats whichsignificantly outweigh the value of item level in many cases.

Crafting Mists of Pandaria Dreadful gear with Relic of the Past IV or Relic of the Past V is a very good alternate source of Timewalking gear asit will have sockets and will be of a low enough item level to receive legacygems/enchants.

Disclaimer: The below table are for Timewalking gear pieces only. If you areusing Dragonflight armor the enchants listed will not work and you should insteaduse your regular Dragonflight enchants; a majority of these enchants will not workif your gear is above item level 120.

To begin, please select an option below enable tips, enchants, and gemrecommendations for your specialization:

• Arcane Mage
• Assassination Rogue
• Demonology Warlock
• Enhancement Shaman
• Retribution Paladin

An honorable mention for the above gems are that Queen's Garnets can be easilyobtained via the Auction house and from the Dragon Soul raid which can be used tocraft +4 Primary Stat gems.

Whilst it may be tempting to use Shadowlands flasks in the Timewalking MageTower, when you are scaled down to level 45 so are the effects of the flasks.For comparison, a flask from Battle for Azeroth will give you +31 Primary Stat,a flask from Legion will give you +21 Primary Stat, and a flask from Shadowlandswill give you +20 Primary Stat. Because of this, it is recommended for you touse your specialization's primary stat flask from Battle for Azeroth.

This is a fairly long encounter where there are 3 bosses who all share a healthpool. Jarl Velbrand will die first, followed by Runeseer Faljarand then the encounter will end just before Sigryn dies.

An enrage has been added to this encounter of 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Thiswill mean that you will want to keep the bosses stacked together for moreefficient DPS to beat the timer.

Each boss has their own mechanics with some mechanics happening independently fromthe bosses:

Jarl is very melee-focused and as such you will want to avoid taking damagefrom him by moving away from him where possible. His main abilities are detailedbelow:

Hurl Axe: Axes will be thrown toward your area and spin. Simplymove away from the location to avoid taking any subsequent damage.

Bladestorm: This Bladestorm will pull you toward his locationand deal damage based on your distance from him.

Berserker's Rage: This increases the damage dealt by Jarl by 500%and slows his movement speed. You want to kite him during this 20 second period.

The Runeseer will repeatedly cast Shadowbolt on you which canbe interrupted, however you should save your interrupts for Ancestral Knowledge.

Ancestral Knowledge is his main cast to be aware of. It is a20 second long cast and must be interrupted. However you are unable to interruptthe Runeseer until you have damaged through the large shield.

After Jarl Velbrand has died this will be cast repeatedly so you do not wantto interrupt straight away, interrupt toward the end of the cast to reducethe amount of shields you need to destroy.

Sigryn will Throw Spear at you. When these land agreen puddle will spawn on the ground which deals damage if you are inside ofit.

Blood of the Father is her main ability to be mindful of. If this 3-secondcast completes Sigryn will pulse out large amounts of Fire damage everysecond for 27 seconds. You can stop the cast with a form of crowd control.

Dark Wings will spawn a wave of Valkyr outside of the arena. Therewill be a gap in their ranks and you should move to this gap before they chargethrough the arena. If you are hit by the Valkyr you will take a large amount ofdamage and likely die. Sigryn will cast this even if she is in aform of crowd control such as a Stun or Fear.

These mechanics will always happen throughout the encounter:

Runic Detonation: Three purple runes will appear on the ground withinthe inner circle of the arena. They will spawn at different sizes and shrink. Ifany Rune shrinks completely they will deal a large burst of Shadow damage to you.You can step on these runes to make them disappear.

Orb of Valor: Throughout the fight friendly Valkyr will place theseOrbs in the arena. If you walk into one you will be healed to full. Use this asneeded.

Your reward for completing the challenge is a transmog set of armor which is arecolored version of the Tomb of Sargeras set for your class.

If you can manage to do all of the 7 different challenges at least once, you willobtain the Mage-Bound Spelltome mount and the A Tour of Towersachievement. Completing every challenge across all classes and specializationsawards the Tower Overwhelming Feat of Strength.

You can learn more about this mount and all the others added in Patch 9.1/9.1.5below.
