Frequently Asked Questions About Timewalking
Here’s everything you need to know about Timewalking in World of Warcraft:
What is Timewalking?
Timewalking is a special event in World of Warcraft that allows players to revisit dungeons and raids from previous expansions with their current-level characters. During a Timewalking event, your character’s level and gear are scaled down to match the level of the content, providing a challenging and nostalgic experience. It also offers a chance to earn unique rewards and gear. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience classic content with a fresh perspective.
How do I enter a Timewalking Dungeon Event?
During a Timewalking week, players can enter a special dungeon queue. This queue becomes available to eligible players based on their level. To enter a Timewalking dungeon, open the Dungeon Finder (default key ‘I’), and in the “Dungeon and Raids” tab, you’ll find a dropdown list in the Dungeon section. Select “Random Timewalking Dungeon”. This will queue you for a random dungeon from the Timewalking event that is currently active. Make sure you meet the minimum level requirements of level 30,45,50 to access each of the events.
Can I Timewalk at Level 70?
Yes, you can participate in Timewalking events at level 70. At level 70, you can also pick up the weekly Timewalking quest from any callboard. These quests typically reward endgame raid gear. The Timewalking Raid and Timewalking Dungeon quests rotate weekly, offering consistent rewards.
What level do I have to be to play Burning Crusade Timewalking?
Players level 60 and above can queue for the Burning Crusade Timewalking dungeons using the Looking For Group (LFG) tool. The available dungeons include classics like The Shattered Halls and Mana-Tombs.
How do I unlock Legion Timewalking?
For characters below level 60, you can visit Chromie outside the embassy in your faction’s capital city to start Legion Timewalking. Note that if your experience is locked, you will need to unlock it first. You also need to have one level 60 character on your account before you can start this content.
What is ‘Chromie Time’?
‘Chromie Time‘ allows you to level in any expansion from Vanilla to Shadowlands once you’ve reached level 60 on one character. Chromie will let you pick an expansion of your choice to play up through level 60. To access Chromie Time you can visit Chromie outside of the embassy in your faction’s capital city, and start Legion Timewalking.
Can you Timewalk at Level 60? What Item Level do I Need?
For characters that are level 60+, you must be at least item level 180 to queue for a Timewalking Dungeon. Recently-boosted characters and Dracthyrs may have restrictions accessing dungeons and raids from expansions other than the latest.
How do I unlock Timewalking with Chromie?
Reaching level 60 on one character will open the Chromie Time option for any other characters on your account. Note that this used to have an upper level limit of 50. You need at least one character on your account that has reached level 60 to unlock Chromie Time.
How long does Legion Timewalking Last?
The Legion Timewalking event runs for one week, just like other bonus events. Be sure to participate during the designated period to experience the content and earn rewards.
How hard is Firelands Timewalking?
The difficulty is set to Normal and, like any Normal level raid, will not be available through Raid Finder. Players level 35 and above are eligible to participate. Despite the set difficulty, the age of the content and simplified mechanics often make Firelands Timewalking easier than current Normal raids. However, the lack of familiarity with old tactics can still pose a challenge.
Are Timewalking raids easier than current raids?
All Timewalking raids have a difficulty similar to the current Dragonflight Normal raid, so the Timewalking raids can be pretty challenging.
Can I solo Timewalking dungeons?
While possible with the right gear and skill, Timewalking dungeons are designed for a 5-man group. Some highly skilled players with optimized gear can solo certain dungeons, but it’s generally recommended to queue with a group for a smoother experience.
How often does Timewalking occur?
A Timewalking Dungeon Event typically occurs once every three weeks and lasts for 7 days. Keep an eye on the in-game calendar for upcoming events.
Are Timewalking vendors always available?
Timewalking vendors are only present during Timewalking events. These NPCs offer unique rewards, gear, and cosmetics from the featured expansion. As the event rotates, different vendors appear in different locations, each selling items specific to their respective expansion.
Can a new player do Chromie Time?
New players in World of Warcraft do not have access to Chromie Time initially. They must play through the Battle for Azeroth expansion before heading to the current expansion. However, there’s a workaround: creating a Class Trial character can unlock Chromie Time for all characters on the account.
Diving Deeper: Understanding Chromie Time and Leveling
Chromie Time is a fantastic feature for new and veteran players alike. By talking to Chromie, you can select an expansion to level through from 10-60 (previously 1-50), allowing you to experience different storylines and environments.
Leveling Without Chromie Time
If you choose to level without Chromie Time, the zones will not scale all the way to 60. This means you’ll need to move on to a new zone when you out-level the current one. You also won’t receive the breadcrumb quest from Chromie, guiding you through the expansion.
The Fastest Chromie Time Leveling
For players looking to level quickly, Warlords of Draenor is often considered the fastest Chromie timeline. The abundance of quests and efficient zone design allows for rapid leveling. Legion is another good option, offering a high density of quests in a relatively short amount of time.
How long does it take to level 60 to 70?
Going from levels 60 to 70 is a grind and takes a decent amount of time. Expect to spend around a week, playing for 3 to 4 hours each night.
