Description

A proper Timewalker never leaves a crisis half-resolved. Why wait and study when we have the tools we need already?

Since you have my original staff, I found a spare for me to use. I am sure no one will miss it. This is my plan: we team up on those rifts together and save the day! All the days, really. Sorry, I still get confused about the time stuff.

What do you say? The task should be simple enough, right?

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Times Like TheseThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    Despite that small hiccup during training, I believe you are prepared enough to aid us here. The distortions in the valley are allowing different time periods to cross over into ours. We are unsure why these timelines connect which is quite alarming. We need more information.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Closing TimeThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    These incursions push the durability of this timeline to the point of breaking. If only we had our full contingent of Timewalkers! Though you are a novice with the staff, I am told that you have managed to help us out greatly. With an extra push, I believe you may further aid our cause.
