Dragonflight Timewalking Guide 2026: Vendor & Dungeons

Dragonflight timewalking has arrived, riding in on the back of Turbulent Timeways V like a proto-drake that finally learned to read a calendar. Six dungeons, one vendor, one currency, and a mount at the end for the four people who actually finish. You already know the drill from every prior expansion’s version of this event. The scenery changed. The grind did not.

Where the Vendor Lives

The dragonflight timewalking vendor is Xydan, parked in the Bronze Enclave in Valdrakken, waiting for you to hand over badges like a toll booth operator with a mustache twirl. The xydan location is easy to find: open the map, look for the timewalking icon, walk toward it, resist the urge to skip the loading screen and read a lore line for once. Coordinates: /way #2112 81.4 47.3 Xydan. He also sells commendation tokens for 50 badges each, in case your reputation bar is still crawling like it’s 2023.

The Quests, Mercifully Few

• A Soaring Path Through Time: max level only. Five dungeons, one Cache of Quel’Thalas Treasures, upgraded to Hero track during Turbulent Timeways so your alt finally has a reason to exist.
• A Soaring Journey Through Time: for the leveling unwashed. Five dungeons, XP, and a Timely Goodie Bag. Turn it in to Xydan, not to your therapist.
• Lost Iridescent Flightstone: drops from your first dungeon of the week. Worth 500 badges the first time per Warband, 200 after. Run it on alts. That’s the whole strategy guide.

All Six Dragonflight Timewalking Dungeons

The dragonflight timewalking dungeons pool is fixed, the queue is not. You cannot pick your destination, so complaining about getting Neltharus for the ninth time is your only recourse.

Dungeon	Bosses	Max Badges
Algeth’ar Academy	4	75
Brackenhide Hollow	4	75
Halls of Infusion	4	75
Neltharus	4	75
Ruby Life Pools	3	65
The Azure Vault	4	75

Badge Math, For the Impatient

Timewarped badges are earned per dungeon at a flat rate, no rolling of dice required: 10 per non-final boss, 20 for the last one, 25 for finishing the run at all, as if showing up deserves applause. They persist forever and are Warbound, so hoarding them across events is not a personality flaw, it’s the correct strategy.

• Non-end boss: 10 badges
• End boss: 20 badges
• Dungeon completion: 25 badges

Turbulent Timeways V: The Schedule You’ll Ignore Anyway

Turbulent timeways v runs a fixed six weeks, June 30 through August 11, 2026, opening and closing on Dragonflight because Blizzard enjoys symmetry more than your free time does. Miss two weeks of the four required and you still finish on schedule, which is the closest this game gets to forgiveness. Running any dungeon grants Knowledge of the Timeways, a stacking XP buff; four stacks in a week converts it into Mastery of the Timeways, a flat 30% XP bonus that survives your death, unlike your dignity after a wipe on trash.

The headline prize is spawn of vyranoth, a mount tied exclusively to the Master of the Turbulent Timeways V achievement. Earn Mastery of the Timeways in four separate weekly resets between June 30 and August 11. No vendor fallback, no purchase, no shortcuts. Show up or don’t.

Dragonflight Timewalking Rewards Worth Your Badges

The dragonflight timewalking rewards list is long, mostly recycled, and priced to keep you queuing well past the point of enjoyment. A full shopping spree runs roughly 38,150 badges, so budget accordingly or accept mediocrity.

Item	Type	Cost
Liquid Hot Magma Slug	Mount	5000
Black-Furred Bakar	Mount	5000
Ensemble: Shadowflame-Seared Druidic Garb	Ensemble	4000
Infinite Broodkeeper’s Greatstaff	Staff Appearance	1500
Khan’s Ceremonial Crossbow	Crossbow Appearance	1500
Shadowflame Remnant	Companion Pet	2200
Photo Finisher	Toy	1000
Cliffside Wylderdrake: Sleek Horns	Drakewatcher Manuscript	1000
Oathstone Fragment	Toy	500
Commendation tokens (each faction)	Reputation	50

The dragonflight timewalking mounts are the only true exclusives here; everything else eventually reappears when this expansion’s turn comes back around. Prior-iteration prizes like the Bronze Wilderling and Bronze Corpsefly harnesses ride along too, covenant restrictions quietly deleted, because nobody remembers what a covenant was anymore.

Reputation Bonus

While the event runs, you get a 50% bonus to reputation gains from quests and kills for six Dragonflight factions. Combine it with a commendation token for maximum efficiency, or ignore it entirely, like everyone ignored these factions the first time around.

That’s the whole wow timewalking guide 2026 season entry for Dragonflight: queue, kill, collect, spend, repeat until the mount lands in your bags or the event ends, whichever insults you first.
