Can Timewalking Be Cross Faction?
In World of Warcraft, Timewalking is a unique feature that allows players to venture into instances from past expansions and battle against nostalgic bosses. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Timewalking can be cross-faction. In this article, we’ll dive into the details and explore the answer to this burning question.
Direct Answer
Unfortunately, Timewalking is not cross-faction. Blizzard has explicitly stated that Timewalking does not function across faction lines. This means that players from opposite factions cannot participate in Timewalking dungeons or raids together.
Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic Dungeons: The Non-Cross-Faction Exception
While Timewalking is not cross-faction, there are certain dungeon and raid instances that allow for cross-faction participation. Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic Dungeons, for example, allow players from opposite factions to group together and conquer these instances.
What Can Cross-Faction Players Do?
So, what can cross-faction players do in World of Warcraft? Fortunately, there are still some opportunities for cross-faction interaction:
• Community or Guild Membership: Members of the same Community or Guild can communicate with each other in chat, regardless of faction affiliation.
• Cross-Faction Grouping: Players from opposite factions can join forces and group together in normal dungeons and raids, but not in Timewalking instances.
• Whispering: Cross-faction players can whisper each other in game, allowing for some level of communication.
Timewalking Campaigns: No Cross-Faction Progress
For Timewalking campaigns, there is no cross-faction progress. This means that players from opposite factions will not be able to contribute to the same Timewalking campaign. Each campaign is separate and requires a team of players from the same faction.
Looting and Gear
In terms of looting and gear, cross-faction players will not be able to share loot or participate in the same gear runs. Each faction will have its own separate loot table and gear progression.
Timewalking Rewards: Knowledge of Timeways
Veteran players who participate in Timewalking campaigns can earn the Knowledge of Timeways reward. This experience buff allows players to explore the past and earn unique rewards.
Timewalking Dungeons and Raids: Item Level 385 and 415 Gear
Timewalking dungeon bosses drop Item Level 385 loot, while raid bosses drop Item Level 415 Champion Gear. The gear is upgradable to Item Level 437 using the new gear upgrading system.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Timewalking is not cross-faction, but there are still some opportunities for cross-faction interaction in other instances and game modes. We hope this article has provided a clear understanding of what can and cannot be done in terms of cross-faction Timewalking.
