What about WoD heirloom trinkets? They have bonus effects against demons (type of creature quite common in Legion). Are they good enough/scale properly to be used?

Comentado por Valkyl

Crafted rings/necks can scale up using relics of the past, therefore your filter which is set to only look at ilvl 50-150 is missing out on the 2 socket crafted ring "Shadowmight Ring" and 2 socket neck "Necklace of the Deep".

Comentado por Zyrinx

"you'll never need any of that stuff in Void Storage", they said...........

Comentado por JinxTheGamer

Wait, so we need to grind 99% obsolete gear solely to be able to do MT TW? What the hell is this nonsense! =.="

Comentado por FeralSynapse

Crafted Crafted Dreadful Gladiator items are class restricted. Demon hunters cannot use these items.

Comentado por Elunario

What is about these items:

They offer 8 sockets in total, and I checked on my Leatherworker that they can be scaled with relics. Also they have a lot of evade which is nice for melee classes.

Comentado por Froko

Quite honestly I've tried most of the challenges on PTR. Most of them seemed pretty doable (although I have concerns about Xylem challenges since healing legendaries for all the classes that had it are gone and AoE'ing crystalls with aoe softcap is nightmare).
Personally, I'm aiming for 36/36 in the first rotation of Legion TW and I've really only prepared trinkets (DST + Pod from EN for STR users, DST + Pod/Mirror of the blademaster for Agi, Owl from ToS + Iskar for casters)

Comentado por Sarthorius

I find it funny the guide not mentioning one of the best trinkets for Timewalking (at least for agility users, including elemental shammy): Espelho do Mestre da Espada.

Comentado por Jun1us

I think Highborne Compendium of Storms is still worth to be mentioned. Yes, it was nerfed before the Shadowlands launch, but before it was actually buffed by scaling changes between 8.3.7 and 9.0. You can see its strength on the timewalking raid bosses, for example.

Comentado por Bumbac

Legion dungeon (nm/hc/mt), raid (lfr/nm/hc/mt), token, world quests, etc. gear is all ilvl 50(60) and can proc both socket and leech.

Comentado por Bakermoose

Shouldn't the crafted class necks be considered, the dawnlight ones for instance for paladins?

Comentado por Kidneph

Silly question, but why do the BC items have to be Chromie time specifically? Im assuming it has something to do with stat scaling, but does this mean if i go in at 60, get the pieces in just regular means they wont be scaled as high as if it was from chromie time?

Comentado por sanyex

What about this ring?

Comentado por V3rtige

This guide is worrying. Blizzard is doing !@#$ if we have to farm this

Comentado por Olsofa

It would been wise of wowhead to make this guide as preparation for this event during their news drought.
Seeing this now just makes it frustrating how much farming one has to do, given how timelimited this event really is.

Comentado por mobhunter

With the Pandaria legendary cloaks seemingly unaffected by the instance, I've seen other guides recommend them as the best option. I also have a Legion cape with a socket, so I'm trying to decide between the two for the BM hunter challenge. Anyone have any thoughts? Thank you.

Comentado por etceteralol

Degenerate $%^& like this is why Blizzard deactivates sets and need items after expansions.

Mage tower is an optional piece of content and having an guide on optimal gear only legitimises the min/maxing culture thats pervasive through the community.

A commenter above me already thinks he has to farm this gear to do the content. What he doesn't realise (and likely the large majority of the playerbase) is optimal ain't gonna help you if you're bad. If you need evidence of this, see the bucket loads of tears from people progging M Painsmith

Comentado por Cerealkiller16

Insane to me that if they were going to scuff item scaling and require you to farm old expansions with no notice before launch, and even greater limitations on usable enhancements that were usable back in legion, that this wasn't done as a fixed generic gear for each spec proving grounds style. That way nobody can get advantage from obscure stat manipulation, and everyone is on a completely level playing field. Makes the rewards even more prestigious because you know the people didn't spend hundreds of thousands of gold compiling bunk items to trivialize the content.

Comentado por Charlayne

Is there any way to get back things we sold/destroyed way back when we were told we didn't have to keep stuff in our bags? If I show it in my transmog (for leather pieces), I have had possession of it. I should be able to get it back. Going to farm something I already owned is stupid.

It's already a given that I'm not getting the mount--there's no way I have enough different characters to go through this to get the mount. Which sucks, because not everyone plays all of the classes and do not play them well enough to beat the already hard-as-hell Mage Tower.

Comentado por TheMadMohawk

Does the socket bonus work in timewalking mage tower?

Comentado por beefyOCE

I found Ghost Iron Dragonling @ 54 with the 16 stat cogs ( they stay 16) + Unblinking gaze of sethe to work a treat even on non int toons.
May have just gotten lucky on procs but nice big dam :)

Comentado por Silverz

I tried the timewalking strategy to get gear, Most of the items I was able to funnel from my chromie toon to my main, but some items like the Rightous helm could not be traded. Wondering if this is working as intended or I'm doing something wrong.

Edit...could not trade spaulders of the righteous either.

Comentado por Nightshana

What about ? : O

Comentado por Cassador

Boots: Crafted Dreadful Gladiator Boots + Relic of the Past IV ( Relic of the Past V for Agility specs) makes the boot 54 and not able to receive enchant, if you going to make a guide make sure you got your ducks in row buddy!

Comentado por Greedifox

Anyone else's Decanter of Anima-Charged Winds doing like 1% damage? Spent 4 hours farming for one just to find out it isn't working...

Comentado por xXderpxx

I'd recommend Bloodthirsty Instinct from Ursoc as well for agility or strength trinkets. Strength users don't benefit from the agility but it is a nice haste buff that procs quite a bit especially for execution phases. (of course this is less than ideal trinket but nice for those who are lazy to go get the better haste trinket)

Comentado por Incendrus

At the moment the gearing guide is wrong. The covenant class sets work in mage tower. I used the nightfae se on shaman and warlock. They do in fact still spawn,tank,heal, and provide a constant 60 intellect.

Comentado por Sarthorius

Did some research here on wowhead and on my crafters, and got these craftable items, with around 1 more socket than those in the guide or sockets on extra slots (like weapons and shields). These should at least serve at least for your alts that will hit the MT as some can need some hard to get reagents:

For shields (Prot War/Paladin and Elemental/Resto Shammies) you can include Terraguarda de Elemêntio and Escudo Tonante de Elemêntio as both have the relic optional slot (preferably Reliv IV, since there are cool enchants for them, up to 50 ilvl) AND gem slot.

For Plate Chest(3 sockets)+Bracers(1 socket)+Gloves(2 sockets) there are the Peitoral de Adamantita, Braçadeiras de Placa de Adamantita and Luvas de Placa de Adamantita, if you use the set, you gain +1 weapon damage (and I just saw another chest plate, sold by scryer npc at revered, it seems those 3 I linked are from aldor, as I remember farming one of those reps with my BS). These DO NOT GIVE ANY SECONDARY STATS (excluding maybe from the gem sockets you'd put in, so, beware).

Plate Boots, from MoP, there are the Grevas de Aço Assombrado, Botinas de Aço Assombrado and Coturnos de Aço Assombrado, all with 2 slots.
Plate Shoulders there's the ultrarare Omoplatas de Furiaço, an Outland World Drop, whoever has it has one of the only (if not the only one) crafted shoulder item with 2 sockets and optional relic reagent useable.

For Weapons, I found out the JC crafted Fist Weapon O Perfurador with 1 socket (might be useful for DHs, Rogues, maybe druids, monks and Shamans). Then the Engineering Gun Esburacadora de Alto Impacto with 1 socket (good for those that didn't grab one of the MoP's Heirloom weapons back in the day, the gun had 2).

Mail wearers can use the Chest (3 sockets)+Bracers (1 socket)+ Waist (2 sockets, 3 with BS-crafted buckle): Peitoral do Espreitador Vil, Braçadeiras do Espreitador Vil and Monster - Staff, Green Feathered - Green Glow with a 3-set bonus. For Intellect Mail specs (Elemental/Resto Shammy) there are Cinto da Fúria Etérea, Perneiras da Fúria Etérea and Botas da Fúria Etérea (the netherfury 3-piece set requires de the character to be a LW for it to be active, not to equip the items, but the extra slots are worth it anyway).

Edit: I'd like to add too, that, for gems, most guides tend to point you only to the +3 red primary stat gems. Those are good, but those that give double stats (+2 primary and +2 secondary) can be a bigger boost IMO, and people still sell the raw gems pretty cheat (purple and orange, for example), from Pandaria, Outland, Cata, etc...

This really needs updated *properly*... Just wasted 5 mins buying dauntless gear and realised its completely useless (only ilvl 50).

Comentado por stvnbrs

As of patch 10.0.7: you can get some items with the correct number of sockets at ilvl 124 in Dragon Soul heroic 25 without messing with timewalking. Weapon bonuses from the raid seem to work as well. Chromie time gear from a lvl 45 drops at ilvl 137. Not sure what happened but I call shenanigans.

Comentado por Viserate

So, it seems the best way to beat this challenge is to look far and wide for equipment, craft it if you can, purchase it on the AH all for a chance to get different looking armor and maybe a flying book?
Seems like way too much work and time investment for virtually little to no reward.
