Selecting an Expansion for Chromie Time

Important!

Note that, while this gives you the starting quest for that expansion, once Chromie Time is enabled you are able to play in any expansion regardless of the one chosen. Chromie Time scales the whole non-Shadowlands world to your level until 50.
However, the Expansion selected will change what dungeons are offered in the Dungeon Finder tool.

Kommentar von irogmil

It sounds (and looks on PTR) as if selecting 'The Cataclysm' for Chromie time does not let you start in Vash'jir. After selecting Cataclysm from Chromie in Stormwind you get another quest to find the mission board, after which you turn in to Chromie. Nothing happens after this. Looks like you must level in Vanilla zones until high enough to do the Cataclysm zones?

Kommentar von Adigo75

In the section "Warlords of Draenor Zones in Chromie Time" The Spires of Arak are listed twice. I guess the first is the Shadowmoon Vale and the latter is the Spires of Arak.

Kommentar von Sepulchre778

The list of zones for the broken isles says thunder totem and not Val'sharah

Kommentar von TuanTaureo

How does the old legacy buff system work in the Chromie Time?

Kommentar von Billredskin

Although Freehold and Atal'Dazar are listed as 10-50 dungeons, you cannot queue to them using DF at level 10. In an early PTR build you could, but later this was raised, to level 16 I believe. You also don't unlock The Underrot and The Waycrest Manor at exactly level 25, but since my testing is focused on lower levels, I don't know the exact unlock levels (I've got one level 25 character, many below that, and two at 50).

Kommentar von Huffletuff1112

So if I've spent the entire life of WoW playing Alliance, and want to experience the Horde storyline, my best bet is to choose Cataclysm for my leveling experience on my first toon and then roll a few more toons to play through the other expacs too? Or should I just level through cata "chromie time" and then go back and do the other expacs while over leveled on my main horde toon?

Kommentar von Sepillo

Can i change the Expac i choose later?
IE: I would love to farm Draenor bonus zones/chest loot and then change back to Cataclysm dungeons so i can spam those dungeons only (on my experience, Cata dungeon are the shortest)

Kommentar von ArtemisD

The list for Eastern Kingdom zones has Alterac Mountains on it, iirc that map and its quests don't exist anymore after cata (got merged with Hillsbrad Foothills). So this confuses me a little. Does this mean that if we select classic we're gonna be able to play through zones in their pre cata look?

Kommentar von brionl

You have to "reach level 50" on one character? Does that include characters that are currently level 120 who get changed to 50, IIRC?

Kommentar von Oroduin

Isn't the official name for this feature "Timewalking Campaigns"? Chromie Time was just what they called it at Blizzcon last year.

Kommentar von Aarkan

What about Isle of Thunder? Will that be scaled? Will you be able to queue for scenarios when selecting Mists of Pandaria? Also I want to mention that it's shameful that a lot of the former endgame overworld zones are 45-50 so significant progress can't be made there. I think the minimum levels on most zones are absurd. Let us go where we want and level how we want. If I want to level through the entirety of Suramar and Argus let me do so.

Kommentar von Vaben

I am new to Wow and I would like to go through all of the old content chronogically.
I have a few questions, I'm not sure i understood correctly this chromie stuff:
1. To play real vanilla world I should go classic right?
2. To play new vanilla I should chromie to cata correct? Does this mean I have to do EK and K, then chromie to BC and WotLK and then chromie back to finish Cata? Or is the questline in this new EK and K post BC and WotLK?
3. Is there a way to stop leveling in case I am close to outlevel chromie time?

Kommentar von Fadedtimes

the amount of dungeons is so unbalanced. MoP has 6 - Cata has 33.
I assume the quests are still in the dungeons, so cata seems a lot better if you are going to just do dungeons

Kommentar von Kinorn

Does using a 120-token allow players to use Chromie time?
If I read correctly, for BFA there is no need to use Chromie time since its 10-50?

Kommentar von sammycat203

My main question is will places like honor hold phase depending on which time you chose? If i chose BFA will i see just Sylvannas there? If i chose MoP will i see just Garrosh? etc. It would really help with the confusing timelines if this is how it works.

Kommentar von Odica

There's something I don't quite get...
It says "While you have Chromie Time enabled, you will be in a different phase from players without Chromie Time. You can only stay in this phase between levels 10 and 49."

Does that mean you cannot use Chromie Time before reaching level 10?
If so, why does the level range of several zones and instances start at 1, 5 or 7?

Kommentar von Odica

Hi Anshlun,

Some zones and dungeons appear to be missing in the Chomie Time level range list. Maybe not all of them are accessible when in Chomie Time as some of these are special zones, like PvP-zones.

Can you provide level ranges for the following, if applicable and accessible in Chromie Time?

Zones:

Dungeons:

Furthermore, Tiefschwarze Grotte appears twice in the list.

Thanks a lot, I'd like the list to be as complete as possible, for an addon library I maintain :-)

Kommentar von Unicorn437

How does this work for returning players that do not have Battle for Azeroth?

Kommentar von Righthero

It's nice you can still do the "Classic" leveling areas even though most everyone will probably opt into just doing a singular expansion to get where they need to be. But it's always nice to have the option.

Kommentar von Freiszcze

Ok, but what is happening to characters that are now like idk 65 lvl? They continue where they are?

Kommentar von msw44012

Are raids available in Chromie Time? Will they be adjusted like a dungeon?

Kommentar von diaskeaus

I suggest choosing an expansion that you haven't done, even if it takes longer than normal, just so you can unlock all of the transmog appearances you never achieved.

Kommentar von brye3

I have a max level character but made a new one to check out the new intro and chromie time. I got done with the island but cant activate chromie time. I'm level 10. A little pop up even came up and i accepted i was leaving "tutorial mode" what gives?

Kommentar von DraugrLord298

When using Chromie Time it says once you hit 50 Chormie ports you back to the major city and it is turned off which I am assuming means that, let's say for example Pandaria, once I hit 50 the quests would revert back to being max level 35 quests and the rewards would then only be good for lvl 35 toons right? Which then leads me into assuming at that point we still have to do current end game content with n'zoth for the lvl 50 gear?

Kommentar von Jetstream

Note, as of 10/14/2020, if you take a character through Exile's Reach, and then do the Stormwind or Orgrimmar tour quest, you'll be locked out of Chromie time until you do some initial questing in BFA and get the achievement Come Sail Away. Hopefully they'll fix this soon. This can be avoided by selecting "I am already familiar with Stormwind/Orgrimmar" instead of doing the quest.

Edit: Apparently this isn't quite accurate. According to a fella further down in the replies to this comment a GM said thus:

If you choose to take the city tour, your character will be pushed a shortened version of the Battle for Azeroth questline. To unlock the Chromie Time option, you must complete the introductory questline up through A Nation Divided (Alliance) or Speaker of the Horde (Horde). Once you have completed the introductory questline, you can go back to your faction's main city and talk to Chromie (Stormwind/Orgrimmar) to pick a different questing area.

Kommentar von woffle

imo, Vanilla/Classic dungeons should be available no matter what timeline you're in and separate from Cata like they are in the Adventure Guide.

Kommentar von Oryyn

Why isn't there Chromie time for Raids with this update? That would be awesome! (I know LFR is not the best experience, but for us without guilds, its better than nothing!)

Kommentar von Scarletnight

Lets say your rare hunting, and someone in chromie time says the rare is up. Can you party with them at max level and get credit for rare?

Kommentar von MasterRanger

If I Chromie Time my way to 50 in WoD, then I want to do Legion for the legendaries and class order hall story, can I do that? Or do I have to freeze my level at 49 and start my Legion Chromie Time instance in order to play through it?

Kommentar von JohnPWest

I have an alt I was working up through the old leveling path, and he was partially into Legion. He got re-leveled to 42. Now he needs Eye of Azshara, but only BfA instances show up in the LFG UI. Do I have to go to Chromie Time Legion to get the legion instances?

Kommentar von Jevnaker

So basically set it to mop and quest in wod while lfging mop dungeons for fastest combo.

Kommentar von Cacheelma

I've just re-rolled my demon hunter. It seems like the game just push me towards Legion leveling without me even ever talking to Chromie. I've just left the tutorial Vault of Wardens path, got my Dalaran hearthstone and on my way to the first artifact weapon. Is this normal? How would the scaling work in this instance? Please note again that I haven't even talked to Chromie.

Kommentar von Scarathias

Yeah, it's a great feature indeed, but still overly limited.

I don't know where I saw it on WoWhead or wherever(WoWhead is where I get most of my news outside of the Blizzard Launcher), but I read something that led me to think the "Chromie Time"(not sure it was even referred to as that at the time) was for ALL levels. Basically from what I read it would work about like it does now for levels 10-50, but you'd also at level cap be able to go to a zone of your choosing and have you level reduced to like 10(only for the zone). You'd level as you progressed through the zone, it would have no effect on your actual level or anything outside the zone. In fact if you left the one you'd immediately go back to your normal level. Upon reentering you'd revert to wherever you'd progressed to in the zone previously. There would also possibly be an option in the zone Talking to Chromie or Zidormi to have the zone in the current timeline or whatever(you'd be able to switch between at leisure between current and your leveling timeline).

So of course I went into the game after pre-patch, set up my talents and stuff, searched for Chromie and found her. Unfortunately when I spoke to her she informed me that I was needed in Icecrown with no quest or anything but a short dialogue in a window. I was disappointed, asked in trade what is up. That resulted in nothing but that it is for leveling. I then decided to do deeper research about it for the first time since the pre-patch, and came across this article(with players posting sadness about it porting them out at 50 and players even somehow saying that's a good thing...). I did also read The more in-depth explanation of "Chromie Time" on WoWhead.

Anyway I'm currently not so happy with the whole thing. Personally I not only don't really have much to level up to 50 or so after playing for 11 years. But I really wanted to take my DH through like Outland or Pandaria without one-shotting half the zone with a single AOE(an exaggeration to be sure but ya know the OP of being level capped in those zones).

Well hopefully whatever I remember seeing becomes more a reality when the xpac hits(or some point during at least). Maybe Blizz will see posts like mine too and make it a reality.

(I also posted this elsewhere in another WoWhead topic: https://www.wowhead.com/news=318300.8/chromie-time-disabled-and-teleports-players-out-at-level-50#comments)

Kommentar von ravenhunt

BFA Chromie time is not available - can anyone explain why

Kommentar von dracofulmen

I have hit 50. I am still in Chromie time and did not get teleported to Stormwind.

Kommentar von Jazdinian

I have a level 34 toon, and my husband just boosted one to 50. I was hoping that we could play through BoA together. Chromie does not give BoA as an option, so I would assume that you do not have to use Chromie Time to be in BoA automatically.

Problem is, I have no quests associated with there, and I can't find any. I took the boat to Boralus, but the only quest I could find was the Scrap quest. I can't do anything up there.

What am I missing?

Kommentar von Slothcat

I couldn't figure this out for a day that you needed to set yourself in the Cata timeline for vanilla content!

Kommentar von Stuach

Not sure I completely understand this. Returning player here and have this Alt at lvl46. Should I stop, block XP, and do Chromie time for the rep, or will that not matter anymore? Some of the old content would be neat to play again.

Kommentar von Holbry

Why is there no estimated leveling to 60 time for picking vanilla in chromie time? I have searched alot of places and can't find this info anywhere.

Kommentar von sbensen

I want to level in actual vanilla wow with Chromie Time. That would be great! Cataclysm was my least favorite espansion. It actually made me cancel my subscription. I hope they consider this. I need some nostalgia on retail without going back to the min max garbage that happens with Vanilla wow.

Kommentar von AlienVacation

omg MASSIVE guide and THANK you SO MUCH wow this is really incredible... Very in depth and complete. This whole game and community is SO AWESUM!

Kommentar von xiusudra

Made an account just to post this.

You can continue leveling in any zone you want, regardless of the expansion you pick. For my purposes, I selected "Cataclysm" because I believe it has the most dungeons available.

Leveling through Vanilla zones is as fast as leveling through WoD (according to the guide). I just finished two characters who clocked in 13h 38m (Monk) and 12h 45m (Druid) respectively, exclusively doing questing in Vanilla zones. I only had to finish 10 zones to reach level 50. I think it's worth mentioning this, because the Vanilla zones are all designed with the idea that you will either not have a mount, or that you will only have a ground mount available to you. After getting your flying mount at level 30, the XP rates in Vanilla zones skyrocket. I was getting 200,000-300,000 xp/hr after level 40.

With this in mind, I think I've found a decent leveling path to follow. Certain zones which are huge or have lots of back and forth become great to do after you get flying. The order of zones I went through is as follows:

1. Exiles Reach
2. Elwynn Forest
3. Westfall
4. Redridge Mountains
5. Loch Modan (got flying here)
6. Western Plaguelands
7. Duskwood (lots of back and forth)
8. Southern Barrens (Huge, but the zone is very linear)
9. Swamp of Sorrows
10. Badlands

Hope this helped anyone deciding where they should level their toons after these changes.

Kommentar von Haircake

I've just reached lvl50 with my first character and I was teleported back to the capital city and removed from the Chromie time. Now I cannot go back to any timeline.

Does this mean the timelines only work up until lvl50? Can I still enter legacy dungeons through the group finder somehow?

Kommentar von avatarofshadow

Just a head's up. While in Chromie time, it's not just the dungeon LFG tool that's blocked. You can't physically enter a dungeon in another time. I tried to go into Naxx solo, just to take the picture for the camera achieve, and it wouldn't let me in because it wasn't the Chromie Time I was currently in.

Kommentar von jaschmidt22

It seems that, if you are in Chromie Time, the chat channels General and LocalDefense are automatically disabled. You cannot even type /join General or /join LocalDefense. Players have mentioned this on the forums. I'm wondering if this is an intentional change? It seems that this would greatly hinder being able to do group quests.

Kommentar von roz1281

I logged in after not playing since WoD and have a level 40. I rolled a new rogue and went through exile's reach + a little intro BfA. I spoke to Chromie and had the option to use Chromie time. Also my new character, at creation, had the option for northshire valley. Is this because I once had a max (during WoD)?

Also, does all this mean that I can start a new character, do cata/vanilla, freeze XP at 49, then do the other expansions in order with scaling intact? I'm not talking about doing it at 50 and steamrolling everything. But staying at 49 and switching Chromie time, could i experience everything again, including dungeons using the finder?

Throughout the years since vanilla, I've always deleted toons and started new ones at each expansion. I wish I'd kept my originals, but this may be a way to simulate it as close as possible (with cata revamp etc). It will be a long project, doing all quests and all expansion features (minus raiding I guess), but may be something to do when shadowlands gets old.

Kommentar von emiliejoue

Does this mean that all the weekly Timewalking Dungeon Events are over? I am hoping to buy something from specific vendors with timewarped badges, but they are only active during those event weeks.

Kommentar von Kramsey95

If you choose a xpansion that requires a flightmaster achievement and have the achievment do you still have to reach a certain level to use flying?

Kommentar von wstevens7166

To give yourself access to as many people as possible to kill The Greench, take yourself out of Chromie time, otherwise you'll just be there with others who are in your same chromie time phase, which probably will not be very many.

Kommentar von Jacevandever

Chromie Time + low population RP realm + war mode is heaven for rare hunters. You don't even need to do much hunting, they're pretty much always guaranteed to be up with that combination of niche sharding.

Kommentar von RivendRahl

OK I like the idea of Chromie ... but im a player that likes to finish a story ... im working on a campaign in BFA and i dont want to stop ... is there any way to continue the campaign to the end of it (even if i lose exp, i dont care) or am i forced to go to Shadowlands?

Kommentar von rrrof711

When i first started leveling alts in shadowlands expac i was doing my normal grind to 20 and sneak through high level areas. Then i started leveling purely in BfA once i realized there was zone scaling now.

On my most recent character i figured out that for expediency and quest density you can:

1. start bfa from the war board
2. skip the intro (if you’ve done it before)
3. power lvl to 30 through the starting quests and the first zone
4. get flying once you ding 30 (make sure to get your mount speedups in stormwind/orgrimmar at lvl 10 and 20 beforehand. If you have gold problems remember you can mail gold to your alts on the same side and server About 1500 gold for each new alt is enough for bags, bank space, and mounted speed/flying)
5. chromie time to Draenor (Iron Horde) until you get your garrison and hearthstone. (should be about lvl 33 with heirloom exp boost equipment level to work till at least lvl 34)
6. Then chromie time to Legion and get your Legion Dalaran hearthstone and do a quick grind through the first artifact weapon quests so you can unlock your Class Order Hall.
(There are technically 3 Dalarans if you include the crater where the city was originally in Eastern Kingdoms. I guess there were too many main cities in eastern kingdoms and the orcs and tauren stuck in Kalimdor felt left out....it took what felt like 30 minutes sometimes just to get there from orgrimmar.)

This way you have all 3 hearthstones, a Garrison, and a Class Order Hall. You could do these sooner but it is much faster with flying and more skills and talents. Then you can go back to questing wherever you like (i prefer BfA because you don’t have as many glitchy exp or item scaling issues and can just grind and chill in one area without running all over the place. This seems to be the fastest leveling. Some people may say you can quick lvl to 50 in about 12 hours in vanilla but that requires knowing the whole world zones and quests. To quickly do this as a newer player or experienced player doing most of the leveling in bfa is much more efficient.

The level cutoff from Chromie time / group finder is 48, NOT 50!

I found out the hard way. Pretty freaking annoyed right now. I wanted to make a level 49 twink to tank old expansion dungeons using group finder. Come to find out, AFTER hitting level 49, characters can only access Chromie time / group finder from levels 10-47. NOT 10-50, which EVERY source I can find states. EVERY SINGLE SOURCE states that the level cutoff for Chromie time is 50.

What. A. Load. Of. RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I am so ANGRY with Blizz right now for not making this abundantly clear! And for doing it in the first place. I mean, what do they care if people want to use Chromie time until the end of time as long as they're playing and paying!

Guess I'll begrudgingly reroll and stop at 47, but I'm not one bit happy about it.

Note that Chromie Time will also automatically end if you do the Shadowlands intro quests -- even if you are level 49 with experience turned off, as I learned to my deep disappointment. :(

Guide says burning crusade content is 1-30 unless you have burning crusade chromie set, i'm currently have chromie set to wotlk but the mobs in hellfire peninsula are the same level as me, (40), am I doing something wrong? I want to run the blood furnace for my last piece of the purple judgment set. i guess i can set it to BC and queue specifically for it but i'd rather be able to just blast through for efficiency. thanks

Honestly I like this new system, can turn off your xp gain in SW keep and enjoy every expansion from start to finish without leveling too fast and once done go to another expansion. This is nice for me because I don't care at all for the new systems in SL, I spent two days? after hitting 60 and logged out and don't plan on going back until the last patch of the expansion.I enjoy leveling in TBC classic and in Chromie time so it gives me my wow fix without dealing with the current garbage that is Shadow Lands ( if they removed all the systems? I would go back )

The cutoff for Chromie time is 48, with the Shadowlands intro quest. You cannot change timelines and there is no prompt.

The workaround is to quickly drop the Shadowlands intro and talk to Chromie and pick a timeline. You have to be quick, otherwise it will auto-accept the intro quest again. Hope this helps.

Any news on whether Chromie Time will be expanded to 60 once Dragonflight makes max be 70?

I have a lot of heritage armor alts that I would have liked to claim, except that I had to lock them all at 48 in order not to be thrown into the hellscape of Shadowlands. I don’t want my alts to leave Chromie Time, there's so much more world out there in the old expansions and I want to be able to actually play the game...

Is it bugged somehow ?
First i did choose Cataclysm and was send to mount hyjal and should find Thrall south of the big world tree but he wasnt there, then i returned to Org to choose another timeline since there was no quests in area at all.
In Org i talked to Chromie and did choose Outlands i got there and no quest at Dark Portal as there used to be and i decided fly to Thrallmar and only quests there was 2 dungeon quests and the one with the fortifications.
So what im thinking is this only available for players who havent completed those areas or is it a bug ?

as of the current patch Chromie Time now scales to level 61

Kommentar von xLunacyx

So apparently the 5 minute popup for not finding a dungeon group fast enough doesn't apply to shadowlands queues. Been in queue for 45 minutes as a solo dps and nothing. Stick to any pre-BFA chromie times for leveling dungeons.

Kommentar von maf03600

needs to be updated. Chromie Time is now 10-60

Kommentar von BlankTH

Several things in this guide are now out of date.

Timewalking no longer shows a buff, and changes the scaling of the chosen expansion's zones to seemingly xx-61 according to the map.

In reality though it seems to scale to 59. When dinging 60 you get a message from Chromie that you're needed back in the present. There's no longer an automatic warp back to your main city, and the mobs stay at level 59.

While you're no longer automatically booted from Timewalking, I don't know if there's any possibility to go back once you've left it. I may update this comment when I know more.
