Watching Blizzard: How many tries is that now?

As you may know, we got some news about Artifact appearances today, and it has reminded me that I still do not have the Mage Tower challenge appearance. So here I am, back at the Mage Tower, repeating the same task over and over again while hoping for different results.

In short, I am an idiot.

But about that Artifact news…

The Mage Tower Artifact appearance is the only one you won’t be able to get after Legion

• That’s right, folks. Originally it was Keystone Master (for finishing a +15 Mythic run) and the Mage Tower — but now it’s just the Mage Tower. Running a Battle for Azeroth +15 will also earn you the Keystone Master achievement and the Artifact appearance.
• And that means there’s a limited amount of time left before the only appearance you can’t get later is gone for good. If you want your Mage Tower appearance, get to work, because the tower is up right now.

Want into the Battle for Azeroth beta?

• I mean, probably not, because you’re busy with the Mage Tower, right? No? Just me? Well, okay then, because we have some beta keys to give away.

And speaking of the beta…

• Anne is at it again with a gallery showcasing everything new at the Ashvane Company Yards and Docks. Like that shark. I’m pretty sure that shark is new.

Overwatch League is back for the week, but Shanghai hasn’t played yet so it’s probably not important

• Anna has given a rundown leading up to the new OWL week — including some roster shakeups by the Spitfire.
• Also, for those of you who don’t know, we have an esports chat channel on our Discord where all of us meet up to cheer on our favorite teams. If you need a virtual space to hang out with during OWL matches — or any other Blizzard esports events — join us!
• Here’s this week’s schedule if you want to tune into any of the matches live.

Hey! It’s another character profile!

• Today, Rossi wrote up a profile for Wayland Blood, and with a name like that, it’s rather unsurprising that he’s a Forsaken Warlock.
• If you want a profile by Anne or Rossi, we write ’em for supporters at $25+. All you have to do is pitch in at that level for one month and you’ll be added to our profile queue. (We’re a little behind, but we’re working through them.) If you’re already supporting us, here’s how to send in your character information.

And that’s all for now, my friends! Tomorrow (today?) is a brand new day (was a brand new day?) full of adventure (Mage Tower attempts?). I’m sure I’m looking forward to it just as much as anyone who’s grinding away at the Mage Tower challenge (which is to say not much). But until we meet again, this is Liz, signing out.
