I got the trinket, solo, normal, with Resto loot setting. FYI

[@BusJustice]

oh, it might be legacy loot that idk, seems to change all the time, haha. Thanks for the correction for any other viewers. I wonder how to pin this...

[@DeletedRedactedConfidential]

Very odd. When I look at the Adventure Guide the "Ravaged Seed Pod" trinket shows as being available loot for Feral spec only. Grats on getting the trinket regardless though. Edit: It dropped for me on normal while having Resto loot selected - just like you said.

[@BusJustice]

@@DeletedRedactedConfidential I think it has to do with “legacy loot rules” which I am never up to date on. Basically any loot can drop for anyone soloing I think?

[@DeletedRedactedConfidential]

@@BusJustice You're likely right. Oh well - it dropped for me and made the fight much, much easier, so I'm happy!

ive watch a dozen other "guides" that are way more up to date than this one and none of them have worked lol. this is literally the only one that did and I did it first try after watching this, even with it a little out of date 10/10

Out of ALL the guides I've watched, this one was the one that got me through this fight. And that trinket slaps. Reminded me to take a breath and not panic every time something spawned. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Awesome. This worked. Still took me 12 tries due to not paying attention to knock backs but finally have the Felbear form. Thanks man.

[@bryanmarcus3476]

man, i got to say... I'm fairly new to tanking as a druid (just got my first maxed because i wanted a kul tiran) looked up pretty much every guide on YT since all i heard about the mage tower for guardian was that it was so stressful! what stood out about your guide for me was the fact that you make it seem so casual and actually gave me the motivation to check it out for myself. got the EN trinket first try, bought some consumables and headed towards the tower... I'm happy to say that after 41 attempts, i am a felbear! PS: to anyone out there still struggling... it is not a matter of difficulty, it is a matter of getting down the mechanics of the encounter, YOU CAN DO IT!

[@BusJustice]

[@tadmason2606]

Did this today after watching your guide, plus most of the other guides I could find. Fresh 70, heal pots, recommended rune buff, drums, and I did the trinket from the raid you recommended (second try, resto loot spec selected). No custom gear, runes, or food. 25 wipes, 1 victory. Mostly just spammed moonfire phase 1, gathered mobs on the boss when it lined up with trinket. Moonfire hitting 2 targets talent probably helped alot. Phase 2 after soaking 2 annihilates, I started eating the heal/stun orbs to chain CC the boss while I DPSed him down for the final stretch.

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

I came out of wotlk retirement specifically to do the mage tower in Legion for the Prot Warrior shield, got it, then quit again until dragonflight. It took me a few days in legion to get the MT down, the dragonflight one I've fully given up on on my prot warrior, it's vastly harder. They definitely didn't nerf it into the ground. And this is with ilvl 500 I got from being so late in the expansion. It takes me 30-45 seconds into the fight to get the boss's HP to where it is in your video after 2 seconds.

[@BusJustice]

depending how deep you wanna go, I recommend getting the warr MT set as Fury. Spec into full self-healing. Also use the Hellscream Heirloom x2 and fill those sockets with the +STR gem. Put sockets into as much gear as you can and put +STR in gem slots. 500 ilvl doesn't matter because it scales down- so sockets are more important. BIS bracers have a socket. BIS neck has 3 DF sockets. Fury is easiest Warr MT by far, some say the easiest MT.

[@mousemickey5428]

Totally off topic, but your mic sounds great!

[@CM-ob2yw]

How do you get the airhorn? I have all of those downloaded and it still wont make noise when they start casting

[@patbres1205]

Just got it myself, thank you so much. I just waited until ghost adds made the cast, then I typhooned and spam moonfire

[@BusJustice]

Ha! Nice, grats!

[@Satanka6]

love the guide, also its really different from others, simple ,easy to understand,straightforward, and fun too :D but .. i dunno how cursed i am.. i do as you say, but randomly got one shotted, or one of my allies got .. dunno whats happenin

[@BusJustice]

When you are randomly one-shotted, you probably have too many stacks of the DND aura around Variss- it lowers your HP allowing you to get 1shot. I think you should run out at 3, 4 or 5 stacks to keep your HP manageable. All the mobs in here aggro onto Velen first. You have to pick up aggro from everything away from Velen or he will die. Watch my video again, pause it and rewind at certain spots if you have to :)))

[@trevorsreya8277]

I remember clearing this during Legion. My druid actually ended up dying before the end. But as long as Velen is alive, and you don't release, the instance continues. My dots killed him, and all I had to do was wait till the RP finished and I was transported out. I don't even use the bear MT appearance. I ended up using the Balance of Power appearance for bear cause it matches the MT appearance for feral. Now I have to do it all over again for the fel bear and the spelltome mount.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Interesting. I keep meaning to since having upgraded my computer a couple months ago to knock this out. I have a ton of druids (one is level 70, most are 60+) and this one looks cool though I prefer the original skin(s) slightly. I could see doing DBM and WA for this.

[@tabunga4669]

[@redandgoldfan3869]

this is the best youtube video on guardian drood mage tower!

[@larrywadford263]

Thx for the video, I think its the best one out there for 10.1+. I still haven't finished it, I die at 13% in P2. I have the trinket and spec'd for the higher spell dmg. When I get to the first twisted reflection, I stop it with bash but he casts it again right away so I have to use my Incapacitate roar or a white orb. Is that supposed to happen?

[@BusJustice]

yes, you have to use specifically interrupt, so Skull Bash. You can't use a stop or stun instead or he'll recast. I believe the white orb also works to stop him from casting again

[@kaderamirez9715]

Is this solo-able with an item level 450 feral Druid currently? I see so many comments on how hard this is and it is making me worried to try 😅

Whats the name of your interrupt addon that tells you when to interrupt?

[@Tycuh]

actual good mage tower guide.

[@Rjusonc]

I'm new to WOW/Druid and tanks in general. I love the horn/countdown is it an addon? I've been trying this myself but I can't even do 5% health before I die to that 1st boss.

[@BusJustice]

I believe that is DBM addon from Curseforge and you have to make sure you have the legion pack installed. When you have that, open DBM and ensure it'll load, just poke around. Then just interrupt that first boss at the right time, collect/kill adds, moonfire everything, eyes, adds, and you'll be good to go.

[@kailesancez]

You make it look so easy. I get stressed out and panic. Had to edit ... I got 2 of the Ravaged Seed Pod on my first run LFR. Never really that lucky. But hey Thought I would mention it for others.

[@calknight9578]

Still helpful and better then the newer videos

[@Momoka7]

I am curious as to why that Seed is the best trinket for all the mage Tower...I did finish it on Druid without any enchant or pot or food or drums. In P1 I went to the Infernals, bashing them and throwing a procc Moonfire on the Lich in the center. The interesting thing is, on my Paladin I have a huge issue to kill the 4 adds, they always run strait up to Velen, but on the Druid they always went for me. I guess the heal you get from Arcane damage from the Moonfire makes them auto aggro you. The most important part is, in P2 that Kruul CAN'T get a heal off, if he does you never be able to kill him as there are more and ever more adds spawning the longer the fight goes.

[@dylnfstr]

I did it finally! After way too many attempts... I used current food, drums, flask and rune from the consumables for mage tower and I used your talents but adjusted for 10.1.7 it still took me several attempts because I was making small mistakes that were costing me the run. Not paying attention to my health cause Velen doesn't heal for shit, not moving out of abyssal cone in time for a couple of them. Not using enough CDs for annihilation, and one time I missed the kick for Kruul's cast. BUT I FINALLY DID IT thank you very much and I hope I never have to come back to the mage tower ever again. Give me a M+20 ANY DAY but screw that mage tower.

[@BusJustice]

What an amazing feeling eh!! That moment you know you got it after all that!! I’m so glad you felt it

@BusJustice yeah it gave me a ton of fortune cards each one said something different on it and were worth various amounts of gold

[@Waevform]

Your confidence is… sexy. Btw I know you said your gear isn’t anything special but I did notice a bunch of sockets. What gear with sockets did you farm? I’ll need all the agility I can get.

[@BusJustice]

Thanks man, that means a lot to me right now :) :) Any blue or higher quality neckpiece in DF can have 3 sockets, it's the standard for character/push progression. You need to add the "Settings" you buy in AH, bronze, silver, gold. If your next has zero sockets, you need to put in a bronze Setting minimum. If your neck has 1 socket, you need to put in a silver Setting minimum. If your neck already has two sockets, to get the third, you must use a gold quality Setting. This system makes DF the BIS necks for Mage Tower as far as I'm aware. As far as I know, silver Settings in AH are cheaper than bronze, so I tend to buy a bunch of them, and a few gold Settings for any time I upgrade my neck. You can use the cheaper silver to cover the bronze requirement. Does that make sense? It's an unnecessarily convoluted system that not many people know about.

[@BusJustice]

And here is the character in the video with the neck and head in the video. But in armory I have all really good/OP Mage Tower gear, good for feral or Bear. worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/skullcrusher/theronwood Just wowhead/google those items. I think I got most of them by turning off xp at a specific level(45?) and gettings the socketed gear from dungeons in chromie time. The rings are from my JC with Marks of ilvl whatever those are called. I put too much work into this gear, it's not necessary in DF, this was overkill for even SL Mage Tower. edit: I believe some of these enchs are not possible now, like the shoulder ench. Check this sheet, it's probably very updated: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSDOPIWDA-UsJRKJ1fXJeHvBfDgVMsvdMYjTz3YHS-vCtan0rt7_7FFocmGB6_JIVdGWvz3HzAsI6vE/pubhtml

When I did it just after they brought the mage tower back I had all legion gear with all the gem slots. It still took me 80 or so tries to get it. I went back and tried again in the last couple months for the hell of it. Went in with full DF gear, no flask, food or drums and almost got kruul before I missed an annihilate. I think they nerfed it again. Pretty sure I was even able to use abilities that were locked before.

[@DeletedRedactedConfidential]

Thank you so much for this guide! It took me a few tries but ended up being a nothing burger - just like you said it was.

[@BusJustice]

Good! And grats! I want to make guides for content that I boil down to easier than face value for people with this channel!

[@necrolicious]

how do you make stuff take damage and die like it does in this video? I am doing the same thing, same build, both boomkin talents and non-boomkin talents. Your boss dies in two cycles, my boss is still alive into five or six cycles, and no I am not letting him channel drain life. my scrawny elemental things survive to cast a second time sometimes. When I make it to Kruul I die to the fifth annihilate because I have no cooldowns left, he has around 20K hp left, and no I am not letting him apply the healing bullshit.

[@BusJustice]

5+ annihilates might suggest low dps/slow rotation? moonfire everything you can p1, moonfire a couple ghosts when they spawn, they don't start moving for a couple seconds. melee aoe/thrash/swipe with trinket up or Lunar Beam. On Kruul you may want to prioritize Maul/Mangle instead of thrash/swipe, not sure.

[@enthomorf]

Im typing here at september 2023. My druid is 420+ ilvl, so I hope I can get that form!!!!!

[@BusJustice]

You can man, certainly higher ilvl than me, moonfire everything!

[@lilbuhto7461]

Is this daily or only weekly?

[@BusJustice]

Unlimited per day :)

[@Alex-du4eq]

Wait, is magetower open for every class? Is there a time limit or am I wrong about this

[@BusJustice]

Mage tower is 100% open sir

[@Alex-du4eq]

@@BusJustice but you can’t get the legion artifact looks? Or can you? Thanks for the reply

[@BusJustice]

@@Alex-du4eq there is bear skin and armour sets for transmog this time around, but no weapons.

[@Alex-du4eq]

@@BusJustice oh okay awesome. And how long will it stay open? Sorry I returned not too long ago to the game

[@BusJustice]

@@Alex-du4eq ‘indefinitely’, last time they took it out was the prepatch to DF, so next prepatch is likely

[@TheRealJockNorris]

TFW you were able to get the original mage tower form so you can be superior to the current fel bear

[@Jibbl3t]

So i got this today, i died when hit 1% and the npc finished him off for me lol super lucky

[@user-fm4nq3pg7z]

Should you wait till 70 or can this be done at lower lvl?

[@BusJustice]

Likely very doable at 60, albeit a little tougher without those end tree talent.

[@mending_chord6787]

Apparently we can't use Convoke in the Mage Tower anymore. Still seems easy enough though.

[@13samfootball]

Haa sure can

[@DRave311]

10 Attempts and Ive followed everything you have done in this, still cant get it yet cant even get him under 50%

[@BusJustice]

Just keep going until it becomes muscle memory, then which shaves off reaction time. Many will tell you 10 attempts isn’t many, just keep going and if you know you failed, use a LeaveParty(); macro to save some time and durability.

[@ThePeirced1]

I'm not doing half the damage this you're doing...got the pod and everything. Things in your video just seem to die so fast but everything stays up for way too long for me.

[@BusJustice]

Keep practicing, get into position to aoe the ghosts asap, trinket for 1 set of ghosts and lunar beam other set. Alternate those, and do your melee aoe as well, and keep moon fire on as many things as possible.

[@Intossicato]

I have the Legion versions and no need or want to even do it.

[@doommetalgames666]

Wasn't able to get that trinket - not sure if it matters but I keep getting killed pretty easily over and over again. And when I don't die Velen dies and the encounter is over - you didnt really seem to do anything for him so I'm really not sure what was magic about your run but I can't reproduce.

[@BusJustice]

it's multiple runs. Be Feral loot spec for trinket, you want it big time. the ghosts are what doing dmg to velen if you're interrupting Varris appropriately. Moonfire everything, all the time. As soon as ghosts spawn/RP, moonfire them, they're come right to you, then bear aoe them down before they start casting. Just keep at it man, tighten it up, you got this.

[@BusJustice]

trinket/aoe melee one set of ghosts, then Lunar beam/aoe melee the next set, and alternate, they will always die fast.

[@doommetalgames666]

@@BusJustice thanks - I did catch the feral loot spec, just had poor luck will have to try that bit again next week.

[@twiztedsynz]

@@doommetalgames666 Same here; I just tried and of course, nada.
