Understanding Timewalking and Chromie Time

Frequently Asked Questions
- What level do you have to be to do Timewalking events? Players can start participating in some Timewalking events by level 30, and all of them by level 45, but the weekly Timewalking event quest that rewards endgame raid gear is only available at level 70.
- How do I start the Chromie Time quest? To start the Chromie Time quest, choose Exile’s Reach as the starting zone, complete Exile’s Reach, and take the quest tour of your faction’s main city, then speak to Chromie in Stormwind or Orgrimmar to pick a questing area.
- Where is the Timewalking quest giver? The Timewalking quest giver is Kazra, located in Valdrakken at coordinates 49.48, 59.50, or you can start the quest within the Adventure Guide.
- How does Timewalking work? Timewalking Events allow players to jump back into old dungeons with a group and complete old content for new/current rewards, with gear scaled down to the Timewalking dungeon and items that drop scaled up to the current expansion.
- Why can’t I do Timewalking? Characters that are level 60+ must be at least item level 180 to queue for a Timewalking Dungeon, and recently-boosted characters and Dracthyrs cannot access dungeons and raids from expansions other than the latest.
- Can I level without Chromie? Leveling without Chromie Time is the same as leveling with it, except that zones will not scale all the way to 60, so players will have to move on when they out-level them.
- How do I queue for Timewalking raid? To queue for a Timewalking Raid, assemble a group of 10 to 30 people, travel to Shattrath City, and talk to Vormu to queue the raid group.
- Where can I find Chromie? Chromie is standing at the northernmost end of Stormwind City, where a large piece of Deathwing’s Hide/Armor hangs in a large frame.
- What level does Chromie Time start? Chromie Time is available to characters that have reached level 50, but in Dragonflight, Chromie Time now stretches from 10-60.
- Can new players do Timewalking? New players have to do BFA leveling and cannot use Chromie Time until they have leveled one character to 50.
- Why can’t I timewalk with Chromie? Players need to have leveled a character to level 50 to gain access to Chromie Time.
- Can you timewalk at level 70? At level 70, players can visit any callboard to pick up their Timewalking quest, which awards Mark of Ascension, Mystic Orbs, Mystic Runes, and Badge of Justice.
- How do you know if you are in Chromie Time? Players can check if they are in Chromie Time by looking at the level of mobs in the zone, which should be scaled to the player’s level.
- Can starter accounts use Chromie Time? Newcomers cannot enter Chromie Time at all, so they are not phased off, and they have to do Exile’s Reach and then BFA content before they can use Chromie Time.
- Why is Timewalking not showing up in dungeon finder? Timewalking may not show up in the Dungeon Finder if the character’s item level is below 174 or if they do not meet the level requirements for Timewalking.
