The Chrono Corsair is one of the most recognizable Timewalking mounts for players who enjoy unusual flying models with a stronger personality than the usual event rewards. With its pirate styling, eyepatch, and unmistakable Infinite Dragonflight theme, it stands out immediately from the more traditional drakes, beasts, and armored mounts usually found in the Timewalking reward pool. For collectors who want something playful, distinctive, and still rare-looking, this is one of the most memorable options currently available.
What makes the Chrono Corsair especially appealing is that it is no longer locked behind a one-time Turbulent Timeways achievement window. Instead of needing to complete a specific seasonal milestone exactly when the event was live, you can now purchase it directly for Timewarped Badges. That changes the mount from a tightly scheduled collectible into a much more manageable long-term goal built around badge farming and vendor access.
The Chrono Corsair can be purchased for 5000 Timewarped Badges from any currently active Timewalking vendor. Unlike mounts that are locked to one exact expansion vendor, this one is much more flexible - as long as a Timewalking event is live, you can buy it from whichever Timewalking vendor is active that week.
That makes the overall route much easier than many expansion-specific Timewalking mounts. You do not need to wait for one exact rotation like Wrath, Legion, Battle for Azeroth, or Shadowlands. Instead, your main job is to build up enough badges and then make the purchase during the next available Timewalking week, regardless of which expansion theme happens to be running.
Because the Chrono Corsair is sold by any Timewalking vendor, the exact NPC and location depend entirely on which Timewalking event is currently active. That is the biggest difference between this mount and the more traditional vendor mounts tied to a single expansion.
In practical terms, that means you should first check which Timewalking week is live, then travel to the corresponding vendor hub. The mount can be purchased from the vendor associated with that event, which makes Chrono Corsair much more convenient for collectors who already participate in Timewalking regularly and do not want to wait for one exact expansion theme to rotate back in.
If you already have the full 5000 Timewarped Badges, the mount effectively becomes a flexible instant purchase - you simply wait for the next Timewalking week, travel to that event’s vendor, and buy it. That flexibility is the biggest practical advantage of the Chrono Corsair over most other Timewalking vendor mounts.
For the Chrono Corsair, Timewarped Badges are the only requirement that really matters. Since the mount can be purchased during any Timewalking event, the grind is less about waiting for the correct vendor and more about building your badge total efficiently over time. In that sense, Chrono Corsair is one of the most forgiving Timewalking mounts in the game.
The main source of progress is always the active Timewalking dungeon queue. No matter which expansion theme is live that week, the basic structure remains the same: bosses give badges, the final boss gives more, and completing the dungeon gives an extra reward. Since these dungeons can be repeated as much as you want during the event, they are the long-term foundation of the entire currency grind.
On top of regular dungeon farming, the first Timewalking dungeon you complete during an active event usually rewards a special quest item tied to that week’s vendor. Turning it in grants a large one-time badge payout. This first account-wide completion is one of the most important badge spikes you can get during each event cycle, which is why experienced collectors always prioritize it early.
Additional characters can also contribute. After the first large account-wide reward has been claimed, later first-dungeon completions on alts usually give a smaller but still meaningful badge payout. That makes alt usage one of the easiest ways to speed up the farm if you are trying to reach 5000 without waiting across too many months of event rotations.
Another useful thing to remember is that Timewalking badge farming does not have to be completed in one single event. Because Chrono Corsair can be purchased during any active Timewalking week, you can build your currency gradually over multiple events and buy the mount as soon as the total is ready. This makes the grind much less punishing than expansion-locked vendor mounts that force you to wait for one exact rotation.
Some Timewalking rotations also feature Timewalking raids, and those raids come with their own large badge quests. The most notable examples are:
Each of these raids has a related quest, such as Disturbance Detected: Ulduar, and the first completion rewards a substantial badge payout. Even though not every one of these raids belongs to the same Timewalking rotation, they are still extremely relevant for long-term planning because many collectors build a badge reserve over several events and then spend it the moment the mount they want becomes available.
The Disturbance Detected quests generally require you to defeat the final boss of the featured raid. Because of that, many players use the Group Finder to look for skip groups, partial clears, or end-boss-focused groups instead of doing a full raid clear every single time.
Like Timewalking dungeons, completing a Timewalking raid also rewards a special quest item that can be turned in after the final boss dies for 500 Timewarped Badges. To receive that reward item, your character must be at least level 30.
After that first turn-in during the active event, all later turn-ins on the same cycle award only 300 Timewarped Badges. That major difference is exactly why the first completion has the highest value by far and should always be prioritized if you want to optimize your total badge income.
In addition to the badges, caches from quests like Disturbance Detected: Ulduar can also contain rare expansion-themed rewards. For example, during Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking, players have a chance to receive Invincible as a bonus reward from the cache.
If the Chrono Corsair is your only goal, the most efficient strategy is not to think in terms of one specific Timewalking theme, but in terms of total badge gain across any active event.
Because this mount can be purchased from any active Timewalking vendor, you do not need to line up your farm with one exact expansion. That makes the process much more flexible. You can simply treat every Timewalking week as another opportunity to add to the same 5000-badge goal until you are ready to buy it.
For players who already participate in Timewalking regularly, Chrono Corsair can end up being one of the easiest vendor mounts to add to a collection, simply because you never have to wait for a single specific event to spend your badges.
Since this mount is tied to repeated Timewalking participation across multiple event types, a few lightweight addons can make the entire process easier to organize and optimize.
For players farming the currency over several rotations, SavedInstances is especially useful because it helps you keep track of which characters have already claimed their weekly badge rewards and which ones can still contribute more progress. TomTom is also more valuable here than for most mounts, because Chrono Corsair can be bought from any active Timewalking vendor, which means your destination changes depending on the current event week.
