The Slave PensZangarmarshLoot and Rewards

Completing 5 Timewalking dungeons in A Burning Path Through Time rewards Seal of Inevitable Fate which is the bonus roll currency for Tier 18 and Mythic Dungeon loot.

The gear earned from Timewalking bosses is ilvl 660, which is better than gear from Heroic Dungeons, Highmaul Normal, and Highmaul LFR.

If you did not run this instance back in the day, Timewalking is a great opportunity to learn more about the instance with friends. Players above level 71 can queue together for this Timewalking instance, so this is a fun way to play with friends that are not max level.
