This video shows a lucky and relatively relaxed run with full talents. If you are lucky or try to significantly optimize your route and gameplay, you may be able to complete the scenario in time without the full set of talents.

Quests
Chromie's Talents
Chromie has seven tiers of talents, with a higher reputation level needed for each one. Tiers 3-7 take time to research and each tier must be researched before moving on to the next. You can chain run the scenario to farm reputation, allowing you to reach max reputation far before you will be able to research all of the talents. You will be able to swap between talents instantly after researching that tier.
Sands of Time
There is a chance to find Sands of Time on enemy corpses, as quest rewards, and from chests. The item allows you to choose from one of two rewards to make the scenario a little bit easier. Generally the priority for your choice should be Keepsake Box or Bronze Drake, Stolen Time, followed by the rest. Currently damage reduction isn't very necessary, even for cloth casters.
Keep in mind that once a choice is presented, it doesn't change. This can be useful in giving you a little bit of control over the rewards. For example, if you have only cleared one Dragonshrine and get a Bronze Drake as an option, go ahead and clear two more before selecting the drake so that you can use it on the far away final shrine. The same goes for getting a Keepsake box near the end of one of the Chronoportals. Don't make the choice until after you complete that Chronoportal, otherwise you could get one for the current portal you are almost finished with!
Dragonshrines
After completing the tasks to reveal the boss at each Dragonshrine, you will be able to head directly to the boss's location in future runs of the scenario, saving significant time.
Chronoportals
There are four Chronoportals that are unlocked after you complete one of the corresponding Dragonshrines for the first time.

Chronoportals
There are four Chronoportals that are unlocked after you complete one of the corresponding Dragonshrines for the first time.
- Mount Hyjal
- Run up to the injured Chromie, fight off the waves of attackers, defeat the Fiery Behemoth
- If you have a Brimstone Beacon, you can skip right to the boss.
- War for Andorhal
- Pick up the quest from Chromie and then head to the Alliance side of the battlefield to kill NPCs. Useful NPCs are marked with a star on the mini-map.
- Alliance Force-Commander - Drops Sands of Time
- Gatzin Zapwrench - Drops Lightning Absorption Capsule, which is necessary to take down the cannon.
- Potionmaster Donovan - Drops Experimental Alchemy Reagent, which is necessary to take down the cannon
- Other named NPCs can drop Military Explosives, which take 15% health off of the cannon
- Take down the plating and electrical shield on the cannon, then use the explosives to destroy it.

- Pick up the quest from Chromie and then head to the Alliance side of the battlefield to kill NPCs. Useful NPCs are marked with a star on the mini-map.
- The Well of Eternity
- Mount up and ride along the edge of the well down the path to the portal. You will have to kill anything you pulled before being able to take the portal, including the Felhound that gets sent chasing you.
- Mount up, follow the path back towards where you normally enter the instance. Don't dismount until you come across Grolethax. Be sure Chromie is next to you and around the corner against the invisible wall to line of sight the caster NPCs.
- After killing everything to drop combat, take the portal out. If you don't drop combat, sometimes you are stuck in combat and can no longer mount for the rest of the scenario.

- This is an ideal Chronoportal to be able to skip, as it can take up to seven minutes without speed buffs.

- Kill Nezar'Azret, free Chromie, and move on!
