Time Rifts are a new world event that has been introduced in World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5. The quest When Time Needs Mending introduces you to this new type of random world encounter and gives out notable rewards.
Time Rifts can be identified on your map by horn icons. These events will run every hour but only last around 15 total minutes. These are two-stage events that contain an array of activities and tasks to complete. Once you complete these world events, you are rewarded with both a new currency, dubbed Paracausal Flakes, and also reputation with Soridormi.
