Turbulent Timeways returns in patch 11.2.7 with new mounts and the debut of Shadowlands timewalking

The War Within patch 11.2.7 sees the return of the Turbulent Timeways, and for the next ten weeks we’ll have an active Timewalking event, encouraging us to revisit old dungeons and factions — including the debut of Shadowlands Timewalking. In addition to the standard rewards from Timewalking, this Turbulent Timeways event will reward us with the choice of one of four new mounts based on the Shadowlands Covenants for completing the Master of the Turbulent Timeways 4 achievement: Bronze Wilderling, Bronze Corpsefly, Bronze Gravewing, or Bronze Aquilon. The achievement this time requires players to earn the Master of the Timeways buff for five of the ten weeks the event is active. After you’ve selected your free one the other three will be available for 5000 Timewarped Badges apiece.

The new Turbulent Timeways will also see the introduction of Shadowlands Timewalking. The following dungeons are included in the rotation: De Other Side, Halls of Atonement, Necrotic Wake, Plaguefall, Sanguine Depths and Spires of Ascension. To make sure no one misses it both the first and final week of the event will be Shadowlands Timewalking.

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 Manaforge gear 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 the first character in your Warband (subsequent characters get a smaller reward) 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 as well as the new items added during the 20th Anniversary 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.

Here’s the full schedule:

• Week One: Shadowlands
  • De Other Side, Halls of Atonement, Necrotic Wake, Plaguefall, Sanguine Depths and Spires of Ascension

While the Timewalking raids 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 for an additional 500 Timewarped Badges.

To get one of the Bronze Shadowlands Covenant mount you’ll need to get the accountwide Master of Timeways 30% experience buff five of the ten 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 weeks and you’ll have your shiny new Bronze Covenant mount!
