What is Cataclysm Timewalking in World of Warcraft?

Cataclysm Timewalking is a recurring weekly event that revisits the era when Deathwing reshaped Azeroth. During this event, characters and gear are scaled down to brave a selection of iconic Cata dungeons and challenge the fiery Firelands raid, offering a chance to earn Timewarped Badges and unique, Cataclysm-themed rewards.

When does Cataclysm Timewalking happen?

Cataclysm Timewalking occurs periodically as part of the overall Timewalking event rotation. Like other Timewalking events, it is active for one week at a time when it is scheduled. You can check your in-game calendar to see when the next Cata Timewalking week will be.

What kind of activities are involved in Cataclysm Timewalking?

During a Cata Timewalking week, players can queue via the Dungeon Finder for the seven featured dungeons: Blackrock Caverns, End Time, Grim Batol, Lost City of Tol'vir, Stonecore, The Vortex Pinnacle, and Throne of the Tides. Additionally, raid groups can challenge the scaled-down Firelands. Both activities allow players to earn Timewarped Badges and scaled loot. The weekly quest for completing Timewalking dungeons is also available for bonus badges and gear.

What rewards can players get from Cataclysm Timewalking?

Completing Cata Timewalking content rewards Timewarped Badges (standard amounts apply). These badges can be spent at the Cata Timewalking vendor, Kiatke, located in Stormwind City (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde) near the Cataclysm portals, for a variety of unique Cataclysm-themed items, including mounts (like the Sandy Shalewing or Broodling of Sinestra), pets, toys, gear ensembles, reputation tokens for Cata factions, and scaled gear. Scaled loot drops directly from dungeon and raid bosses, and players tackling Firelands Timewalking have a rare chance at iconic mounts like the Smoldering Egg of Millagazor or Flametalon of Alysrazor.

Additionally, the Glittering Phoenix Ember, which is a requirement for the Phoenix Wishwing pet, is obtained by defeating Alysrazor in the Firelands Timewalking raid; this item drops for everyone in the group with no prerequisites.

Are there achievements specifically for Cataclysm Timewalking?

Yes, participating in Cata Timewalking contributes to various achievements, such as completing the specific dungeons and clearing the Firelands Timewalking raid (which has its own achievement). Completing the weekly Timewalking quest also grants achievement progress. Collecting items from Kiatke the vendor contributes to your general account-wide collection achievements.
