With Legion Remix now live, players are experiencing various bugs, but one of them is completely unexpected!
Blizzard’s Stance on Mage Tower Appearances
Blizzard clarified they do not intend to make Mage Tower Artifact appearances available again in Legion Remix on July 17 earlier this year.
Many times throughout the history of World of Warcraft, there have been items, titles, and other kinds of rewards that belong in a category of the most prestigious and historic accomplishments—rewards that we believe should be preserved in a historical context for only those players who earned them at the time. Examples that come to mind for many players include Corrupted Ashbringer and the Mists of Pandaria Challenge Mode items. Players who obtained these rewards also maintain a sense of achievement in possessing them to this day.
As we’ve explored the full list of all rewards that players could earn when Legion was current content, we’ve determined that some fit the description above, and will not be obtainable in Legion Remix:
- Mage Tower Artifact appearances
- Artifact weapon appearances from PvP
- Seasonal PvP gear
These exceptions represent a very limited subset of skill-intensive, limited-time rewards that we feel are consistent with the precedent set in Pandaria Remix.
In Legion Remix, players will have access to even more total rewards than Pandaria Remix offered, including some previously-retired rewards, like the Mythic Chosen Dead ensembles, the Violet Spellwing, and gear from the Legion pre-launch event. There are also going to be many all-new items and previously unavailable color variants of Legion rewards.
However, what’s happening now due to a bug is the complete opposite!

What Will Blizzard Do?
Mage Tower Artifact appearances were a big deal during Legion and the question everyone’s asking right now is: will Blizzard let this slide? Will they deploy a hotfix that will remove the appearances from players? We’ll need to wait and see!
