Turbulent Timeways returns for seven weeks of Timewalking dungeons, plus the new Timely Buzzbee mount!

While we wait for The War Within patch 11.1, the WoW developers continue to give us a steady stream of content with the return of the Turbulent Timeways. For the next seven weeks we’ll have an active Timewalking event, encouraging us to revisit old dungeons and factions. In addition to the standard rewards from Timewalking, this Turbulent Timeways event will reward us with with the Timely Buzzbee mount for completing the Master of the Turbulent Timeways 2 achievement, which is a meta-achievement requiring you to run dungeons for five of the seven weeks.

If you need another reason to jump in, there’s also increased gear rewards: the weekly quest to complete five Timewalking dungeons will reward a cache with Heroic Nerub-ar Palace gear (item level 610-619) instead of Normal difficulty loot. These pieces can also be upgraded with crests to increase their power.

If you’re more concerned about the collectibles available with Timewalking Badges, the Turbulent Timeways event is a great time to stock up on them: you can get 500 a week on each character via the quest drop you get by running a single Timewalking dungeon, with additional Badges for every boss you kill. Those still looking to purchase mounts will be well on their way, and if there are any other items you are missing — or reputation you want to finish — now’s the perfect time to acquire them. Reputation gains for the week’s faction are boosted by 50% and you can buy tokens for bonus reputation at Timewalking vendors. You may even be lucky enough to acquire the Infinite Timereaver, which is what I keep telling myself every time I queue up.

Since the most recent Timewalking event (ignoring the persistent Classic Timewalking during the 20th Anniversary) was for Cataclysm, the Turbulent Timeways will start with Mists of Pandaria Timewalking the week of January 7. Unlike last time the weeks will be in expansion order, and Warlords of Draenor will not be skipped.

Here are the dates for each Timewalking week during Turbulent Timeways:

• Week of January 7: Mists of Pandaria
  • Gate of the Setting Sun, Mogu’shan Palace, Scholomance, Shado-Pan Monastery, Stormstout Brewery, Temple of the Jade Serpent
• Week of January 14: Warlords of Draenor
  • Auchindoun, Bloodmaul Slag Mines, Everbloom, Grimrail Depot, Shadowmoon Burial Grounds, Skyreach
• Week of January 21: Legion
  • Black Rook Hold, Court of Stars, Darkheart Thicket, Eye of Azshara, Neltharion’s Lair, Vault of the Wardens
• Week of January 28: Classic
  • Deadmines, Dire Maul East, Dire Maul West, Stratholme, Zul’Farrak
• Week of February 4: Burning Crusade
  • Dungeons: Blood Furnace, Botanica, Magisters’ Terrace, Mana-Tombs, Shattered Halls, Underbog
  • Raid: Black Temple
• Week of February 11:Wrath of the Lich King
  • Dungeons: Azjol-Nerub, Forge of Souls, Gundrak, Halls of Lightning, Nexus, Utgarde Keep
  • Raid: Ulduar
• Week of September 18: Cataclysm
  • Dungeons: Blackrock Caverns, End Time, Lost City of the Tol’vir, Stonecore, Throne of the Tides, Vortex Pinnacle
  • Raid: Firelands

While the Timewalking raids — Black Temple, Ulduar, and Firelands — will be available during their respective weeks, they do not have any additional rewards during the Turbulent Timeways event. Still, you’ll get a quest drop from each for an additional 500 Timewarped Badges.

To get the Timely Buzzbee mount you’ll need to get the accountwide Master of Timeways 30% experience buff five of the seven weeks of the event. This is accomplished by running four Timewalking dungeons on the same character, as each run adds a stacking experience buff labeled Distilled Knowledge of Timeways until Master of Timeways is earned. Do this five separate weeks and you’ll have your shiny new mount!
