The burning question on every adventurer’s mind is: What level should I start Timewalking dungeons? The answer is straightforward: Level 45. Blizzard made this change in Patch 10.1.7, allowing players level 45 and above to queue up for Timewalking Dungeons. This applies to all Timewalking dungeons, so get ready to jump back in time!

Understanding Timewalking Dungeons

Timewalking dungeons are special events in World of Warcraft (WoW) that allow players to revisit dungeons from previous expansions. Your character’s level and gear are scaled down to match the content, offering a challenging and nostalgic experience. These events occur periodically, typically once every three weeks, and last for seven days. Timewalking isn’t just about reliving the past; it’s a fantastic way to earn rewards, level up alternate characters, and collect unique transmogrification items.

Benefits of Timewalking

Experience Boost: Timewalking dungeons offer significant experience points, making them an excellent option for leveling characters. The bonus experience from completing the dungeons, combined with the ease of quickly clearing them, makes Timewalking a particularly efficient method.
Gear and Rewards: Participating in Timewalking events allows you to earn Timewarped Badges, which can be exchanged for various rewards, including gear, mounts, and cosmetic items. Completing the weekly Timewalking quest also rewards endgame raid gear once you reach level 70.
Reputation Boost: During a Timewalking event, you gain a buff that increases your reputation with factions from the featured expansion. This is a great way to grind reputation for achievements or unlock specific rewards.
Transmogrification: Timewalking dungeons are a treasure trove for transmogrification enthusiasts. You can collect unique armor and weapon appearances from older content, allowing you to customize your character’s look.
Fun and Nostalgia: Above all, Timewalking dungeons offer a fun and nostalgic experience. They allow you to revisit iconic dungeons and relive memorable moments from WoW’s history.
