Requirements for Cata Timewalking dungeons?

So, I have a level 38 priest and I cannot queue for the timewalking dungeon event this week. I was able to queue for the event during the wrath timewalking a couple weeks ago. Is there a requirement Im not aware of. In game, its says the dungeons are for levels 36-60 so I meet that requirement. What am I missing? So many people are trying to tell me I have to be level 50 to queue, but I know thats incorrect because I have a level 46 death knight that CAN queue.

if you don’t meet the ilvl requirement then the option to queue for timewalking dungeons won’t appear at all for you (or at least that’s how it was for me)

I don’t know what the ilvl requirement is but I know your gear gets scaled down to ilvl 40, so if your priest is below that then try getting up to that. You should start getting ilvl 40 gear from quests, dungeons, etc. starting at level 35 (unless you’ve outleveled them).

TO CLARIFY THIS GLARING ERROR of judgement
 YOU DO-NOT-NEED-TO-BE-LEVEL-50
or i suggest you learn how to explain how my lvl 37 warrior has 3000 timewalking badges from doing 1 dungeon per timewalking week for the last 6 weeks :slight_smile:

It’s about level and ilevel. Unfortunately, there is no currently updated info on what those thresholds are for each one.

My guess is that you need to have an average item level that is, at minimum, equal to the item level gear scales down to. (You just need to have the gear that gets you up to that ilvl for the requirement; you can use lower ilvl gear inside the instance if you want.)

I tried doing MoP timewalking on a druid whose item level was just slightly below 40, and I tried buying some gear to get it up to 40 but I didn’t have much gold on that realm and the items I bought from the Cataclysm gear vendor in Orgrimmar only got me up to like 39.88 avg ilvl so I couldn’t do it.

TBC and WotLK both scale down to 35, Cata and MoP scale down to 40, and I believe WoD is 45. (Legion logically should also scale down to 45 but it actually scales down to 50.) I think if you can get your avg ilvl up to 45 then you should be able to queue for WoD timewalking this week.

IDK why we’re not just told the actual requirements.

Draenor Timewalking-

Level 41 toon with 44 item level

Could be 43 ilvl, I know it’s not 42 ilvl.

in the requirements it says that you have to be lvl 35 and up, I have a level 35 mage but I can’t do timewalking

Seems they baselined the level for ALL timewalking.

Cata TW-

Level 60 toon with 174 item level

Tried with level 60 at 172ilvl, no option to queue until 174ilvl.
(CBA to try a level 59 with 174ilvl)

It’s level 60.

They changed the requirement a while ago. Timewalking used to require 1 level above the level cap of timewalking, but for some stupid reason they changed it to the level cap in Shadowlands.

But then they never re-upped it to the new level cap in Dragonflight, so it’s still 60, even though the new level cap is 70.

But they also never updated the calendar, so it says level 36 and up, 46 and up, etc. depending on timewalking week.

I posted Aug 2022, few months before DragonFlight.

Previously : TW cap level +1 & item level requirement.

This new level 60 cap came from DF no?

Which is sad; was fun to level toons in timewalking.

Apparently it was indeed 50 in Shadowlands.

Could have swore it was 60. shrug

The lowest level was 36 with 39ilvl for Pandaria (and previous xpac i believe)
41 on Draenor.

The 50 cap was for Legion timewalking & its events.

Now it’s level 60 with 174 ilvl across the board?

Click the link. The 50 requirement was for all timewalking in Shadowlands.

I mean, I know what I tested 8-9 months ago and played lower level toons in timewalking.

scroll up a bit, I posted what I found out that day.

MY recap on this whole ‘thingy’ question is. “anyone” who wants to do “anything” they want because they ‘identify’ as that
 should be able to do it no matter what.
Logic, requirements, or any other boundaries should NOT apply.
This is where I see a subversive shift is going .
YOU may disagree and say I am wrong. But this IS what the agenda is.
I hate it (personally) 
 but, the overview of what is in my mind ‘ridiculous’ complaints are truly targeted. Just MY opinion. MY opinion
 just like the person who post this.

60 cap DF
