While World of Warcraft's 20th Anniversary celebration has concluded, exciting events continue to engage players awaiting Patch 11.1 later this year. The return of the Turbulent Timeways event offers a unique reward for players who diligently accumulate the Mastery of Timeways buff.

Turbulent Timeways Event Details

Unlike the usual staggered Timewalking events, Turbulent Timeways features five consecutive weeks of Timewalking dungeons (January 1st to February 25th), each week highlighting a different expansion:

  • Week 1: Mists of Pandaria (January 7th-14th)
  • Week 2: Warlords of Draenor (January 14th-21st)
  • Week 3: Legion (January 21st-28th)
  • Week 4: Classic (January 28th-February 4th)
  • Week 5: The Burning Crusade (February 4th-11th)
  • Week 6: Wrath of the Lich King (February 11th-18th)
  • Week 7: Cataclysm (February 18th-25th)

Completing a Timewalking dungeon grants a "Knowledge of Timeways" buff (two-hour duration, persists through death), providing a 5% experience bonus for questing and mob kills. Four stacks of this buff upgrade to "Mastery of Timeways" (three-hour duration, persists through death), increasing experience gains by 30%. Completing another Timewalking dungeon refreshes the buff timer. Maintaining four stacks of Knowledge of Timeways without letting them expire is key to obtaining Mastery of Timeways. Avoid extended AFK periods to prevent buff decay.

Turbulent Timeways Rewards

Beyond the leveling benefits, this event offers valuable rewards. The Sandy Shalewing mount, a returning reward from the Dragonflight event, is available from Timewalking vendors for 5,000 Timewarped Badges.

Additionally, acquiring the Mastery of Timeways buff during five of the seven event weeks unlocks the new Timely Buzzbee mount.
