How To Get Best In Slot Gear For Mage Tower Using Simple 2-Man Technique (Patreon)

There is a write-up on optimizing your gear for mage tower time-walking on wowhead here:

https://www.wowhead.com/guides/best-gear-mage-tower-timewalking-gearing-guide-gearing-strategies

This is a good guide, however this text interested me:

"Overall, the best set is going for Chromie Time pieces. However,  Chromie Time requires a lot of time and multiple accounts (or friends!)  to be able to farm the required pieces, something that isn't accessible  to everyone."

This is either inaccurate or very confusing. It implies you have to do normal dungeon grinds with multiple characters. In fact your 60 can run through the dungeon and one-shot everything. It is neither difficult nor especially time-consuming. 

To farm bis gear for mage timewalking from tbc dungeons I did the following

1. Level a character to 44 or 45 if you do not have one. (or co-opt a friend if they have such a character). 

2. Take this character to your faction capital embassy, find Chromie, switch on any form of timewalking (eg cataclysm). 

3. Have this character form a group with the level 60 you want to do Mage Tower with.

4. Go to a TBC normal dungeon. (Check the wowhead guide for the pieces you need).

5. Have the level 60 character kill bosses while the level 45 stands nearby. If you are doing this with a second account you can leave the 45 at the entrance and kite most tbc bosses back to this point. (TBC bosses mostly do not leash like modern wow bosses)

6. Have the 45 loot the bosses (they should drop at least one ilvl 50 item which is bis for age tower timewalking) and then trade any appropriate items to the level 60.

Whether this is necessary depends on your personal Mage Tower experience. Some claim to be able to do it easily with shadowlands gear. Some claim to find it impossible without special gear.
