Complete the weekly event quests TWICE per event, per character

[Frankysteryo]

So yesterday (technically today) at 00:00 the Timewalking event arrived once again and I immediately completed the 5 dungeon quest & 500 badge boss drop quest.
Today I queued up for a skirmish and when I came out I noticed that the 5 timewalking dungeon quest had reset. Seeing this I queued for a timewalking instance and could loot a 2nd 'Swirling Timewarped Vial' aka the item that starts the 500 badge quest. However after queueing skirmish again after turning in the badge quest it did not reset a 2nd time.

How does this work? If you complete the timewalking quests between 00:00 and 03:00 tuesday night (before the weekly quest reset timer) you can reset the quests by queueing up for a skirmish after 03:00 and get double Normal Cache & 500 badge boss drop quest.

Obviously most of you cannot reproduce this now if some of you didn't complete the quests between 00:00 and 03:00 last night.


EDIT: It was on EU servers.

EDIT 2: Most likely works on all the different weekly events: pet battle, timewalking, bgs etc etc. Same method, complete it between 00:00 > 03:00 at Tuesday night / Wednesday morning > queue skirmish the day after and it should reset.

EDIT 3: !!! IMPORTANT !!! Make sure you guys test this for the upcoming Apexis Bonus as well on Tuesday night/wednesday morning. Pretty cool to get a shitton of garrison resources and oil on all your alts =)

EDIT 4: CONFIRMED to work for apexis event as well! Same rules apply, as long as you completed it before 03:00 at tuesday night/wednesday morning it WILL be reset after 03:00 and you WILL get double the rewards.

This confirms what happened to me as well, I completed my weekend quest immediatly after it showed up at midnight. It was up again the next day.

Confirmed on EU.

Really nice find, glad that you could enjoy it. Will surely be fixed when the next event is live.

Doubt it will get fixed because it's not something 'major'. Hopefuly works for all the weekly events.
If it's not Active then what would you consider it as? I understand that it isn't active from your perspective if you didn't complete the quests betweeen 00:00 > 03:00 @ Tuesday but still, it's only 'Active' during the events each week.

This is kind of a recurring bug in the game with lots of different things in WOW's history related to this weekly reset. Awesome that you found one that is a HUGE saver. Blizz also has a history of eventually fixing these things, but slowly. So, there is hope it will still be working next time Great find. +7 rep!

Lets hope they will not fix this to soon
+ rep for sharing from me !

Make sure you guys test this for the upcoming Apexis Bonus as well on Tuesday night/wednesday morning. Pretty cool to get a shitton of garrison resources and oil on all your alts =)

i did this too by mistake and thought that it was either a bug or the first random tw dungeon of the day gives you the 500 badges item

EVERY new dungeon of the day??? I thought this was once per week, no?

[Frankysteryo]

You can only make it reset if you complete the quests before 03:00 @ Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
I will update this thread once I confirmed if this works for apexis event as well.

oh so only Once. 1k per monthly event, isntead of 500 - o.k.a.y.
