    3.

    World Boss Doomwalker

    Doomwalker is available in Tanaris at the entrance to the Caverns of Time. Head to your faction portal room and grab the Caverns of Time portal. Doomwalker can be killed for loot each day and the associated weekly quest rewards Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges. Doomwalker has a 100% chance to drop Doomwalker Trophy Stand Icon Doomwalker Trophy Stand, Illidari Doomhawk Icon Illidari Doomhawk. The boss also drops Akama's Edge Icon Akama's Edge.

    You must be Level 30 and above to receive loot from the boss. Characters Level 30+ should talk to Chromie and return to the present timeline before facing Doomwalker.

    4.

    Illidary Doomhawk Mount

    You have a small chance to obtain the mount once per week by completing the weekly anniversary quest.

    Once a year, a rift in time appears, and strange things occur. The Illidari scouts and Doomwalker were quite surprised to find themselves in Tanaris.

    5.

    Akama's Edge

    The One-Hand Axe has a chance to drop from the Doomwalker boss in Tanaris.

    6.

    Timeless Mechanical Dragonling Pet

    Finally, you can purchase a battle pet from Historian Ma'di for 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges in Caverns of Time.

    7.

    New in 2020?

    In 2020, Blizzard added Crafted Cloak of War that you can buy for transmogrification for 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges from Historian Ma'di located in Caverns of Time (51,42).

    Crafted Cloak of War

    Korrak's Revenge, the Classic version of Alterac Valley was introduced. The Alterac Valley of Olde Icon Alterac Valley of Olde meta-achievement rewarded faction-specific mounts, which is no longer the case.

    You can also kill some old world bosses for loot and Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges.

    8.

    Rewards

    All players who log into the game will receive a Anniversary Gift Package that contains 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges and a Celebration Package Icon Celebration Package that increases Experience and Reputation gains by 18% for the duration of the event. The package also contains an Invitation from the Timewalkers Icon Invitation from the Timewalkers which starts a new quest leading you to either Orgrimmar or Stormwind.

    9.

    Timewalking Vendor

    Historian Ma'di is the Timewalking anniversary vendor. You can find her in Caverns of Time (51, 42). She sells items from previous anniversary celebrations for Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges.

    Her wares include:

    10.

    Korrak's Revenge

    Korrak's Revenge is a throwback Battleground inspired by the earliest day of Alterac Valley.

    You can queue up for it by pressing "H" and selecting Korrak's Revenge to start the Classic version of Alterac Valley.

    Chromie also offers the Soldier of Time weekly quest that we recommend to pick up before queueing up for Korrak's Revenge. In order to complete the quest, you must earn 500 Honor in Korrak's Revenge to get 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges and 5 Mark of Honor Icon Mark of Honor.

    The meta-achievement of the Battleground is Alterac Valley of Olde Icon Alterac Valley of Olde and you will earn it by collecting 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges, from quests and participating in Alterac Valley Classic.

    The goal is to focus on collecting tokens from enemy corpses to summon mighty reinforcements and help your team claim victory.

    Alterac Valley of Olde Icon Alterac Valley of Olde incorrectly states that it rewards faction-themed mounts and a patch is required to fix that on live servers.

    You will receive the faction-themed mounts from a bonus objective that pops up when you are inside the battleground. If you did not receive your mount, but completed the objective, we advise you to log out of the game and log back in to see if you received your reward.

    Badges earned prior to the November 10 fix will not count as credit toward the quest, and must be re-earned.

    Alliance players will get the Stormpike Battle Ram Icon Stormpike Battle Ram mount.

    Horde players can unlock Frostwolf Snarler Icon Frostwolf Snarler.

    11.

    Old Vanilla World Bosses

    Players level 30 and above can take on Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and one of the four Dragons of Nightmare (Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, and Ysondre) each day for Item Level 272 loot and 50 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges.

    Do not forget to pick The Originals weekly quest before killing the bosses to receive 150 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges. You can also get bonus rolls in Dazar'alor or Boralus for an extra chance to receive items.

    • Lord Kazzak spawns within the Tainted Scar in the Blasted Lands.
    • You can find Azuregos in southeastern Azshara.
    • Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, and Ysondre, also known as the four Dragons of Nightmare, have a chance to spawn in one of following locations: Duskwood (Twilight Grove), Hinterlands (Seradane), Feralas (Dream Bough), and Ashenvale (Bough Shadow).

    The world bosses drop items that have been removed from the game. You will find a complete list of loot in our news post.

    Time-Displaced Vendors in Hillsbrad Foothills

    During the anniversary event, two faction-themed vendors can be found in Hillsbrad Foothills selling gear for Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges and Mark of Honor Icon Mark of Honor. The gear has Item Level 164 currently, but Blizzard most likely forgot to update it for 2022.

    Some items sold by the vendors have been removed from the game and are no longer obtainable.

    The Alliance vendor is Time-Displaced Thanthaldis Snowgleam and can be found at 45, 46 in Hillsbrad Foothills.

    The following weapons sold by the vendor require the player to complete the Korrak the Bloodrager quest in Korrak's Revenge (Classic Alterac Valley):

    Other items sold by the Alliance vendor are:

    The Horde vendor is Time-Displaced Jorek Ironside located at 58, 34 in Hillsbrad Foothills.
