The sections below cover the Sandy Shalewing earn conditions, the weekly dungeon schedule, and each expansion's featured raid.
The highlight of the event is the Sandy Shalewing mount. To obtain this mount, players must complete the achievement called Master of the Turbulent Timeways. This achievement requires players to gain Mastery of Timeways during five different weeks of the Turbulent Timeways events. Mastery of Timeways can be obtained by using the Distilled Knowledge of Timeways potion, which is rewarded for completing a Timewalking dungeon during the event. So, players will need to complete at least four Timewalking dungeons to transform their Knowledge of Timeways into Mastery of Timeways. The Sandy Shalewing mount is a beautiful creature with wing patterns that resemble sand flowing through an hourglass.
For the Dragonflight Season 2 Turbulent Timeways event, the first Timewalking event will feature Cataclysm dungeons. The full rotation for this event includes:
During the event, players who are level 70 can also complete a weekly Timewalking quest to earn a piece of heroic loot from Aberrus. It's a great opportunity to gear up!

There is a possibility that Blizzard may release Dragonflight Season 3 on November 7th, right after the BlizzCon 2023 weekend.

The Sandy Shalewing was a flying mount added in Dragonflight Season 2, featuring wing patterns that resembled sand flowing through an hourglass. It was earned through the Master of the Turbulent Timeways achievement.
Players needed to collect Mastery of Timeways during five separate weeks of the Turbulent Timeways event. Mastery of Timeways was obtained by completing at least five Timewalking dungeons in a single event week, with the Distilled Knowledge of Timeways potion acting as the starting catalyst.
A potion rewarded for completing one Timewalking dungeon each week during the event. Using it granted Knowledge of Timeways; completing four more dungeons in the same week upgraded the buff to Mastery of Timeways.
Three raids opened during specific weeks: Firelands during Cataclysm week, Black Temple during Burning Crusade week, and Ulduar during Wrath of the Lich King week. All scaled to Timewalking difficulty.
Kazra in Valdrakken offered a Timewalking quest that rewarded a Heroic-level Cache of Vault Treasures. Completing it each week provided a guaranteed gear upgrade from the current Aberrus tier.
Vendors were expansion-specific: Mistweaver Xia on the Timeless Isle during Mists of Pandaria week, and Aridormi in Dalaran during Legion week. Each offered mounts, transmog, reputation tokens, and toys for Timewarped Badges.
The event ran from September 26 to October 31, 2023, covering five consecutive weeks during the Dragonflight Season 2 schedule.
Yes. The event returned in subsequent seasons of The War Within with new mounts: the Timely Buzzbee in Season 2 and the Chrono Corsair Pirate Dragon in a later patch cycle. Each iteration required five weeks of Mastery of Timeways.
