Leveling from Timewalking dungeons seems to be the go-to for most players. However, even with the Turbulent Timeways event now active, it’s still not the fastest way, so let’s take a look at how to speed it up.
Prodigious speed leveler Harldan poked around the new event to see how it could best be used. After thoroughly testing it, he’s come up with a pretty interesting take on Timewalking, which is to basically avoid it as much as possible, so let’s take a look!
The Event XP Buff
The Turbulent Timeways event started on January 7th and it will run for over a month until February 25th. Every time you complete a Timewalking dungeon you will get the 
Knowledge of Timeways buff, a 5% XP bonus. After finishing 4 Timewalking dungeons your Knowledge of Timeways transforms into 
Mastery of Timeways (as knowledge usually does), which rewards you with 30% bonus XP for 3 hours (you can just refresh it in the Timewalking dungeon). The most important part of this is that this experience boost applies to all forms of content, not only TW dungeons.
Take That Buff Outside!
With Regular Timewalking dungeon spam took Harldan around 3 hours to get from 10 to 70. Instead, he opted to grab the 4-dungeons-to-30%-XP-buff, and then head outside! He followed his 10-70 path guide, which features questing and rare hunting, to complete the rest of the levels. That took him 2 hours and around 45 minutes. It not only saved him about 20 minutes, but he didn’t even use any of the consumables he recommends for leveling. And if a speedrunner is dropping 20 minutes off their time and skipping optional consumables, you’ll be gaining a LOT more in your runs.
Moving on to the 70-80 bracket, his previous runs before the event took him about 2 hours and 10 minutes, which is about the same as he got now. The questing route with the 30% buff took him 1 hour and 38 minutes, making it a massive gap of almost 40 minutes saved.
And so while TW dungeon spam itself isn’t bad, optimizing leveling during the event with the method above saved Harldan approximately 1 hour. And that means it will save a lot more for us regular mortals!
So if you have any other classes you haven’t leveled up yet, now’s the time!
