Description

So, the timeways, yeah? They're VERY misaligned. And you know how we bronzes hate that! So we need to realign time with these temporal hourglasses. Just plop them down throughout Eon's Fringe.

But you know me, always needing to help! So I'll be placing another hourglass nearby. Meet me there when you're all done.

The hourglasses are under 'bridges' and one on a rock. That one's located at 57.00. 85.09 You'll see that it's a yellow, sort of transparent hourglass. The videos help. :)

This is the second quest of eight, in an optional quest chain you can do, that will lead you to the new Mythic dungeon called Dawn of the Infinate. By optional, I mean you don't actually have to do it to start running Mythics inside it. However, if you would like a little bit of lore, you can begin this quest chain by flying to the top of the Seat of the Aspects, in Valdrakken, and speak to Nozdormu [/way #2112 61.0 39.6 Nozdormu].

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Dawn of the InfiniteDawn of the Infinite · Level 80
My vision is hazy, but there is no mistaking what I saw. A dark alliance opposes the bronze dragonflight. One I do not know if I shall be able to overcome... I ask you to meet me in Eon's Fringe, <name>. We will speak more of this threat there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

On Borrowed TimeDawn of the Infinite · Level 10-80
I need you to fetch me some time-lost essence. The creatures around here are filled to the brim with the stuff. Snuff them out and then use this epoch extractor to collect their essence. We'll make good use of it for our next step! And yes, this is going to be a multi-step process.
