There is no way to buy the Mage Tower appearance from Blizzard — it has no shop entry, no vendor and no token. Every class set, the Soaring Spelltome mount and the Guardian Druid bear form come from clearing the solo Mage Tower challenge on that spec yourself. The original Legion artifact weapon skins retired when Legion ended and cannot be earned or bought today.
Mage Tower appearance: the short version
- Where: the Mage Tower itself, standing on the Broken Shore in Legion.
- When: it started life as a Legion Timewalking event only. Blizzard has since opened it up beyond those weeks, so check the tower rather than planning your month around a Timewalking calendar.
- Format: a solo scenario. Seven separate challenges split across tanks, healers and damage specs, and you take the one that matches the spec you are currently playing.
- Scaling: your power is normalised inside the challenge, so piling on item level does not flatten it. Cooldown timing, positioning and consumables decide the run.
- Armor sets: beating a challenge unlocks the Mage Tower transmog set for that class, tinted per spec.
- Mount: clearing all seven challenges awards the Soaring Spelltome.
- Druid extra: Guardian Druids unlock a bear form appearance instead of a standard armor set.
- Gone: the Legion-era artifact weapon appearances. One expansion only, and they stayed behind.
Can you get a Mage Tower carry?
Not in the group sense people mean by the word. The Mage Tower is instanced solo content — nobody else can stand in there trading hits with the boss beside you, which is exactly why the sets still turn heads years later.
What genuinely moves the needle is a coach: talent and trinket choice for your spec, the consumable list, and a mechanic-by-mechanic plan for the phase that keeps ending your attempts. Most players stuck at hour three are losing to one specific moment in the fight, not to their gear.
Are the Legion artifact weapon appearances coming back?
Blizzard retired them when Legion closed and has held that line since. The Mage Tower you can run today hands out armor sets, the mount and the druid form — not the old artifact skins.
So if an offer anywhere promises to sell you the Legion weapon appearance itself, that promise alone tells you the offer is not real.
Which specs have the easiest time?
It shifts with every tuning pass, so any fixed tier list ages badly. The stable part: strong self-healing, a dependable interrupt and burst you can fire on demand make the challenges far friendlier, while specs that need a long ramp before they do anything have a rough time.
Plenty of players clear on their comfortable spec first, learn the encounter that way, then come back for the one they actually wanted the set for.
What do you get for finishing all seven?
The full sweep awards the Soaring Spelltome mount along with the achievement for the complete set. That requires at least seven characters covering the right specs, so it is a long-term project across your roster rather than a weekend of attempts.
If you would rather own the appearance than grind the attempts, PewPewShop can help. Mage Tower Mount and Skins starts at EUR 59, and our Weapon Appearance Hunt for other transmog chases starts at EUR 54. It is all handled by vetted human players — no bots, no cheats, a long zero-ban record. And if you would rather beat it yourself, ask for the coaching option instead and keep the clear on your own name.
