Turbulent Timeways

INTRODUCTION

The Bronze Dragonflight has detected massive disruptions across the timeways once again. Beginning December 2 and running through February 3, the Turbulent Timeways event returns—a 10-week Timewalking celebration featuring rotating expansions, new Shadowlands dungeons, a powerful leveling buff, Heroic-quality rewards, a new vendor, and a mount-earning achievement.

This event offers one of the best opportunities of the year to level alts, farm Timewarped Badges, collect transmog, and unlock rare mounts. Whether you want fast experience, Heroic gear, stylish cosmetics, or simply a tour through the history of Warcraft, this round of Turbulent Timeways is packed with content.

What Is Turbulent Timeways?

Turbulent Timeways is a 10-week consecutive Timewalking event, where each week features a different WoW expansion. Unlike standard Timewalking cycles, this special version begins and ends with Shadowlands Timewalking, introducing six new dungeons to the lineup.

Throughout the event, players can:

  • Queue for level-scaled Timewalking dungeons

  • Earn Timewarped Badges

  • Unlock Heroic-level rewards

  • Progress toward the Master of the Turbulent Timeways IV achievement

  • Enjoy massive XP and reputation bonuses

  • Shop at the new Shadowlands Timewalking vendor

This is one of the most alt-friendly and reward-dense events Blizzard runs.

Shadowlands Timewalking & New Dungeons

For the first and last week of the event, players gain access to six Shadowlands Timewalking dungeons for the first time:

  • De Other Side

  • Spires of Ascension

  • Plaguefall

  • Necrotic Wake

  • Sanguine Depths

  • Halls of Atonement

You can queue through the Dungeon Finder → Timewalking tab. These dungeons scale your gear and level, while still offering meaningful rewards for capped characters.

New Shadowlands Vendor – Collector Ta’steld

Collector Ta’steld can be found in Oribos at the Ring of Fates, right outside the Hall of Curiosities.

Players can purchase:

  • New and returning mounts

  • Shadowlands-themed weapons and armor transmogs

  • Backpieces and shields

  • Pets and toys

  • Cosmetic weapons referencing Kyrian, Venthyr, Maldraxxus, and Night Fae styles

Every item is purchasable with Timewarped Badges.

Upgraded Weekly Rewards – Heroic-Level Cache

For the entire event, the weekly Timewalking quest offers a Heroic-tier Cache of Kareshi Treasures:

  • Item Level: 694

  • Sources: Complete 5 Timewalking dungeons for the weekly quest

  • Available only during the Turbulent Timeways

This makes the event highly valuable for gearing new or returning characters.

Timeways XP Buff – Knowledge & Mastery

Running any Timewalking dungeon grants a stacking XP buff:

Knowledge of the Timeways

  • +5% XP per stack

  • Gained by completing Timewalking dungeons

  • Stacks up to 4 times

Mastery of the Timeways

After four stacks, the buff transforms into:

  • +30% XP gain

  • Account-wide

  • Persists through death

This makes Turbulent Timeways one of the strongest leveling windows in the entire year.

Master of the Turbulent Timeways IV – Earn a Free Mount

Completing the achievement “Master of the Turbulent Timeways IV” requires maintaining Mastery of the Timeways for any five weeks during the event.

The reward is:

  • Ta’readon’s Mount Voucher → choose one Bronze Covenant Mount for free

  • The remaining three Covenant mounts can then be purchased for Timewarped Badges

Available Mounts:

  • Bronze Wilderling

  • Bronze Corpsefly

  • Bronze Gravewing

  • Bronze Aquilon

All Covenant riding restrictions are removed, so any character can use any mount.

Reputation Bonuses During Timewalking

While an expansion’s Timewalking week is active, players earn:

  • +50% bonus reputation for all factions tied to that expansion

  • Reputation from quests and creature kills

  • Scaled dungeon loot equivalent to Heroic rewards

This is a prime chance to clear older faction grinds rapidly.

How to Join Timewalking Dungeons

Open:

Group Finder → Dungeon Finder → Timewalking

Select the appropriate expansion shown for the week. The tool automatically scales your character and places you in a relevant dungeon.
