Mage Tower would be returningFree Shadowlands Mount Contest

In Legion Timewalking, the Mage Tower will operate similarly to how it did during Legion. The original seven different Challenges (grouped by your specialization’s role) will be available to try repeatedly, for the duration of Legion Timewalking:

Each Challenge comprises a series of solo encounters that must be completely survived to earn rewards, and in Legion Timewalking, they will not require that you have an Artifact, or even that you originally played Legion. While the Challenges were considered quite difficult for most of Legion, we’re tuning the encounters in Timewalking to normalize player power, with the intention of providing a meaningful level of difficulty to current players.

There’s also a new Achievement coming in 9.1.5 for the most well-rounded champions of the Kirin Tor. Players who complete all seven of the Challenges on different characters across their Battle.net account will be rewarded with a unique flying mount: the Soaring Spelltome!

Our artists have kicked things off by coming up with concepts for five unique mounts for you to choose between. Now it’s time for your part—pick your favorite from the poll linked above and below; the highest number of votes internationally will be crowned the winning choice and our artists will begin working on making your choice a reality.

Wandering Ancient – Not all ancients are interested in war or lore, some just want to travel the world! A large and leafy mount, the Wandering Ancient invites you to climb aboard and grab ahold of its branches as you embark on a lumbering expedition.

Soaring Spelltome – In the forgotten depths of the Dalaran library, this oversized tome was found flapping madly around the room. Open the pages of this arcane-infused book and hitch a ride to magical adventure.

Nerubian Swarmer – When the Helm of Domination shattered, the Nerubians under the control of the Lich King were unleashed. Some were captured by the Argent Crusade and turned by their allies in the Ebon Blade. Now their spidery claws are put to use as mounts, skittering through the frozen tundra of Icecrown in pursuit of the rampaging undead.

Curious Caterpillar – A curious caterpillar found its way to the Heartland in Valley of the Four Winds one night and gorged itself on the oversized vegetables. The Pandaren of Halfhill awoke the next morning to find the crops half-eaten and an enormous, slumbering caterpillar among them. Too large to become a butterfly, this friendly worm is just the right size to train as a mount.

Gooey Slimesaber – From the slime pools of Plaguefall emerged all manner of jellied creature, including this sticky kitty. A slimy saber cat that’s dripping with ooze, it’s the kind of mount that you’re going to want to wear gloves for.

Comment by AveliaaaaI wonder how many people are malding that they wont get MT appearances because they were slackinComment by WaldorfOne thing I haven't seen anywhere that's worth clarifying.
Will this be available to only max level characters? Or anyone Legion level and higher since it's tied to timewalking?Comment by pwndandyI like that it fits the theme but I can't imagine this mount looking anything but awful once you mount it.Comment by 2080020Gief slime kitty pls.Comment by NeryssaOne thing I haven't seen anywhere that's worth clarifying.
Will this be available to only max level characters? Or anyone Legion level and higher since it's tied to timewalking?Comment by selthisThey worded it a bit weirdly, which makes me wonder if we can only do one challenge per character (for the achievement to count it) or if they worded it that way since it's impossible to do all 7 on one char - " Players who complete all seven of the Challenges *on different characters* across their Battle.net account will be rewarded with a unique flying mount: the Soaring Spelltome!".

Hope we can actually do more than one challenge per class on different specs. Want to do tank and healer on druid :DComment by a1kronNice! :DComment by Assassin14xOne thing I haven't seen anywhere that's worth clarifying.

Not everyone has all classes at max level and alot of classes are not tanks or healers so if those 2 scenarios are included then oh boy there will be hell to pay on the forums.

This sounds to me like another 'it sounded good on paper so it must work IRL' mistake that Blizz simply loves to make.Comment by xXHellscreamXxBlizzard add us a new auction house mount like the come onComment by ShnippiePity there was nothing for people who did this across multiple or all characters/specs in legion. No title, no mount, no achievement.Comment by holyshortI voted for tome so guess will have to no life the tower lol.Comment by KalindryasThey worded it a bit weirdly, which makes me wonder if we can only do one challenge per character (for the achievement to count it) or if they worded it that way since it's impossible to do all 7 on one char - " Players who complete all seven of the Challenges *on different characters* across their Battle.net account will be rewarded with a unique flying mount: the Soaring Spelltome!".

Want to do tank and healer on druid :DComment by AltheisIt's not a great idea for a mount imo, I think even the best designs look like a parade float at Disney Land. Quite sad that the artifact weapons aren't getting a new tint nor will we be able to get originals, I don't think it diminishes other people's achievements by allowing other people to have that opportunityComment by HunttuPogU!Comment by akaRavenI wonder how many people are malding that they wont get MT appearances because they were slackinComment by RhyneyI wonder how many people are malding that they wont get MT appearances because they were slackinComment by Stormbringer4190They worded it a bit weirdly, which makes me wonder if we can only do one challenge per character (for the achievement to count it) or if they worded it that way since it's impossible to do all 7 on one char - " Players who complete all seven of the Challenges *on different characters* across their Battle.net account will be rewarded with a unique flying mount: the Soaring Spelltome!".
