You must acquire the main tint of the Mage Tower Appearance before Legion ends. You do not need to acquire the other tints during Legion in order to get and use them for transmog.

One of the tints of the "Balance of Power" style requires Keystone Master. You must get Keystone Master achievement before Legion ends to unlock and use that specific Balance of Power tint for transmog. You do NOT need to complete Balance of Power before Legion ends for the Mythic tint. If you just have the Mythic achievement during Legion, you can complete Balance of Power after Legion, and the dungeon tint will automatically unlock.

Comment by faaatywhat happens to the cannon like what is thrall with out doom hammer? how will this fit in the lore?Comment by XuldarinarI figured, as soon as I heard that Azeroth was going to be damaged by Sarg, that our weapons would be used up trying to fix it. Nice to know for certain now.Comment by ReignacSo not to heal the wound, but to weaken Sargeras's sword? Not the route I expected.Comment by chrthThat sounds more like we’ll be further empowering our weapons (or corrupting them), feels like there needs to be a followup step to drain the weapon.

Xally can’t be happy eitherComment by maxilianwhat happens to the cannon like what is thrall with out doom hammer? how will this fit in the lore?Comment by oakatorThere's simply no way my Shadow Priest will participate in this. He's straight up corrupted by the dagger (he'll need to be put down if he ever truly does something malicious for the Old Gods, but that's a tangent of my own personal storyline for my fanfic.)

He'll pretend to drain the knife, while keeping her hidden away... Whispering back to his mistress at night.Comment by sadistic12345awesome everyone guessed it from the start, no really everyone knew thats going to happenComment by omedon666There's simply no way my Shadow Priest will participate in this.

Whispering back to his mistress at night.Comment by Dattofferwhat happens to the cannon like what is thrall with out doom hammer? how will this fit in the lore?No Doomhammer in his hand so I guess that's it.Comment by BarblyuWhat I hope would happen is that our artifact weapons get "contaminated" and sealed away.

This making players unable to use them again until they are cleansed, this way blizzard can bring them back if they want or give them to other characters once they are cleansed or some poop.Comment by Janettiewhat happens to the cannon like what is thrall with out doom hammer? how will this fit in the lore?Comment by LemaiBefore the announcement of battle for azeroth there was a rumor that we will sacrifice our weapons in the starting quests of the expansion to survive and continue our journey, i like it more in that wayComment by WarstainThey probably get morphed into the new fancy neck piece, wondering what we'll do for weapons after.Comment by Xuldarinarwhat happens to the cannon like what is thrall with out doom hammer? how will this fit in the lore?Comment by 1knowWtf, am I giving the power of Sargeras sword to an Old God (Xal'atath)?
Well that's madness, pun not intendedComment by mek002My Hati ! I'm now worried !Comment by MetsunieWhat a waste for my "frostmourne". It was created to corrupt, to kill, to enslave, not heal the titan.

A lot more than this weapon make no sense in this route. What about Xal'atath? It was obvious we would leave our weapon, but that is kinda cheap in my opinionComment by VolksDKThis is a pretty big cop out if you ask me. Let's destroy 36 of the most powerful weapons on the planet, including Doomhammer and Ashbringer

It doesn't even make sense for some weapons i.e. Apocalypse and Skull of the Man'ariComment by AsraisirenaMy Hati ! I'm now worried !Comment by WalrossSo, I don't have to do anything to unlock the other appearences after Legion?
