Did this not show up for anyone else or is it gated behind specific quests in the campaign? Showed up for my main but didn't show up for a couple of my alts.

Edit: Instead of "Time Rift" weekly my alts have Dragonbane Keep instead. Is it gated behind something specific for this quest to show up instead of an alternate weekly?

Comment by maikelhunt

Not sure what to do. I accepted the quest and now we're all just standing around waiting on something. I give this quest 1 star.

Comment by Crucru74

The video is dumb. Doesn't show coordinates or who you are suppose to talk to and is blurry.

Comment by Goarther

After you accept the quest you need to wait for the Time Rift event to start. They start at the top of every hour.

Comment by DennisTheGreat

Timed quests like these are such a snooze...

Comment by Doloria

Aiding the Accord: Time Rift is one of the weekly Aiding the Accord quests given in Valdrakken.

Pair Aiding the Accord: Time Rift with When Time Needs Mending

If only one character receives Aiding the Accord: Time Rift, that character should do When Time Needs Mending. See Soridormi to accept the quest. When Time Needs Mending can only be done by one character on an account each week.
When the Time Rift event starts you'll be asked to "Report in" to Soridormi. To report, click on the Chat option in purple that says, "Begin Time Rift. Name reporting for duty". If you don't click on the chat option, you won't get credit or loot. The reward for completing When Time Needs Mending is a Contained Paracausality containing loot.

If other characters also receive Aiding the Accord: Time Rift, they can fulfill the Time Rift requirement during the week they receive the quest. Report in to Soridormi when the Time Rift event starts.

Characters without quests can also participate in Time Rift events. Report in to Soridormi when the Time Rift event starts.

What if another toon has accepted When Time Needs Mending ?

There is a difference between accepting When Time Needs Mending and activating it by "reporting" to Soridormi.

Once a toon has accepted the quest When Time Needs Mending, it goes into the quest log of all toons. All will see a gray question mark over the head of quest giver Soridormi.

Only the toon that accepted When Time Needs Mending can delete it from the quest log.
But any toon can activate the quest by reporting to Soridormi at the start of the Time Rift event. Do this by clicking on a chat option that says "Begin Time Rift" in purple. "Name reporting for duty".
After When Time Needs Mending is completed by one character, the quest is no longer available this week. So your other characters will no longer see a gray question mark over Soridormi.

Every time you do a Time Rift event you must report in to event leader Soridormi just after the event is announced. Otherwise you won’t get credit or loot.

Report in by clicking on the Chat option in purple letters that says, "Begin Time Rift. Name reporting for duty".

How often can characters do a Time Rift?
All characters can do Time Rifts repeatedly in a week. However, When Time Needs Mending can only be completed by one character once a week. Repeating the Time Rifts may result in diminishing rewards. So why bother? Paracausal Flakes currency earned can be transferred between characters. You also have a chance to receive Dilated Time Capsules (gear tokens) and a piece of gear, transmogs, pets and mounts you would have to buy from vendors. You can also buy account-bound Veteran-level armor and gear from Time Rift vendor Shi Everbreeze. These can be upgraded to level 424.

Differing accounts as to how many characters can complete When Time Needs Mending

sarrge says above,
Just found this - https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/339842

The "When Time Needs Mending" quest can only be completed once per account per week. It cannot be completed again until after the weekly reset occurs. This is working as intended.

In the Comments many say that multiple characters on their account can access When Time Needs Mending. Others say only one toon on their account can complete the quest. The result is uneven access to the new Paracausal Flakes currency that buys mounts, pets and gear.

Time Rift events can be done without quests by reporting in to Soridormi.

Where and When is the Time Rift Event?

Soridormi is always at the base of a tall temple near a viaduct in the Tyrhold Reservoir area of Thaldraszus (51.1, 57.1)
The quest location is marked by a hunting horn on the map just above Valdrakken. There are so many horns marking community quests, you may have overlooked this one. Mouseover the horn to see how much time is left before the next Time Rift event starts.
Time Rift events run hourly on the hour.

A scenario?

You don't queue up for a Time Rift event. Just show up in Tyrhold Reservoir. When the event is announced, report in to Soridormi by clicking on a chat message.
NEW: Confirming you can now do When Time Needs Mending in a raid group! A raid is helpful if you see few players in your shard at the starting area. (You'll need enough people to kill the final boss.) It makes sense that you'll also get credit for Aiding the Accord: Time Rift in a raid group -- although I haven't tested it yet.
Each raid member must report in to Soridormi.
exxcalibur85 points out that Time Rifts "count as scenario so you can progress for Queuing Spree”.

Do I need to do a storyline first?
No. No rep requirements either. (Disclosure: my characters have access to world quests.)

But, here's another view: smulf says, "If you cannot join Time Rifts with an alt because the world quest doesn't appear for you, make sure to have completed the achievement Just Don't Ask Me to Spell It with at least one of your characters."

Something to try first: If you can't pick up When Time Needs Mending, try running the Time Rift without a quest -- just report in to Soridormi once the event is announced. You won't be missing too many rewards, since When Time Needs Mending is limited to one character per account per week.

Can you do Time Rift Events in War Mode?

Yes. There may be fighting around the starting area before the event starts. But once the event starts, both factions will likely focus on doing the Time Rift quests around the Tyrhold Reservoir. (Faction members may even make more of an effort to assist one another with the quests.)

Once characters go through the portal to the other timeway, all nameplates turn blue, so players can't attack each other.

If few players come to the starting area with War Mode on, do a quick flight to Valdrakken and turn it off, then return to the starting area.

The Lore

Soridormi says,
There are trillions and trillions of timeways out there; alternative realities that exist parallel to ours.

Most timeways do not threaten ours...A few timeways, however, stretch perilously close to our own. And when we experience turbulence in our timeline -- as we have in recent days -- the veil between our reality and ancient timeways can wear thin... or tear open.

Timer
There are timers for the Incursion at Tyrhold Reservoir (around 9 minutes) and the boss in the other timeway (around 6 minutes).

The Sequence There are 7 different timeways. Completing all of them grants you the achievement Chronograde Connoisseur.
1	Report in to Soridormi at the start of the Time Rift event by clicking on the chat option that says "Begin Time Rift. Name reporting for Duty." If you don’t report in, you won’t get credit or loot. The area around Soridormi and the vendors is a no-fly zone, so move away to mount up.
2	Defeat invasive creatures from another Timeway that are running around the Tyrhold Reservoir. There is a daily mashup of objectives during the incursion phase -- some old, some new. This keeps it fresh. Some tasks are ill defined the first time(s) you do it. There are several objectives going on at the same time, giving players more space. A title is given to the incursion. Ignore the title and watch the objectives. The objectives will change quickly. Check the mini-map for changing locations. There are individual and group objectives. Group objectives are labelled and involve defeating an elite. In between specific objectives there is a general directive to kill as many intruders as possible. Complete as many as objectives as possible in this phase. You'll earn a box for every 2,500 Temporal Essence. Watch the progress bar:	Box of Tampered Reality is earned at 2,500 Temporal Essence. Contains 50 Paracausal Flakes
Box of Volatile Reality is earned at 5,000 Temporal Essence. Contains 75 Paracausal Flakes
Box of Collapsed Reality is earned at 7,500 Temporal Essence. Contains 100 Paracausal Flakes.

You won't get another objective until you complete the one you have or time runs out on that one. But if you can't get to your next task, you can earn some Temporal Essence by fighting anything.

Mount up as soon as you complete an objective. Mobs can appear at the end of an objective, keeping you in combat and preventing you from flying to your next task. (Ignore if you have a class ability that takes you out of combat.)

3
Sometimes there is a quest to take a found object to Soridormi. Finding objects is part of the achievement Temporal Acquisitions Specialist. Look for a yellow quest marker close to the ground. An object may be found during the Tyrhold Reservoir phase or after the defeat of the boss inside the Rift.

4
When the 9 minute timer runs out, Soridormi announces the opening of a Rift to the other timeway.
A large gold portal opens on the round platform in the middle of the Tyrhold Reservoir. Go through it. Your dragonriding mounts are from the future, so use a ground mount.

5
Soridormi tells us to slay a boss -- the "Fractured Causality".

5

Return through the portal to the Dragon Isles timeway. You'll end up back at the Tyrhold Reservoir. This completes the Time Rift.

7

The Time Rift part of Aiding the Accord: Time Rift should now be marked as completed.
If you are also doing When Time Needs Mending, turn it in to Soridormi. Your reward will be a Contained Paracausality.
General rewards for doing a Time Rift include Paracausal Flakes, transmogs, gear tokens and rarely, a pet or mount.

What's in the Contained Paracausality?
See

Items in a Contained Paracausality	Use
Encapsulated Destiny	Use: Guarantees that the next Time Rift you complete will grant you a reward. (Binds on pick-up. Click on it as soon as you receive it.)
Paracausal Cluster	Use: Crush to gain 1000 Paracausal Flakes. (Account bound)
Soridormi's Letter of Commendation	Use: Read to gain 1000 reputation with Soridormi. (Account bound)
Drake's Shadowflame Crest Fragment	Use: Piece together 15 fragments to create a Drake's Shadowflame Crest. (Binds on pick-up)

Converting soulbound Paracausal Flakes to account-bound Paracausal Flakes.

The reward currency, Paracausal Flakes, is soulbound but you can get around this:
The Paracausal Cluster containing Paracausal Flakes is account bound until you open it.
Any character can convert soulbound Paracausal Flakes to account bound Paracausal Flakes. Buy a Paracausal Crate containing 500 account bound Paracausal Flakes from Pandaran Time Rift vendor Shi Everbreeze for 500 soulbound Paracausal Flakes. (Coords 51.0, 56.6)

As an alternative, consider having one character do the weekly Time Rift events.

The Time Rift Vendors
There is a vendor for each timeway. They are grouped on the platform to the left of quest giver Soridormi at the base of a tall temple in Tyrhold Reservoir. (Coords 51, 56)
Items sold are account bound, so you can buy for your alts. A Pandaran vendor, Shi Everbreeze, sells armor for all classes.

Tasks without clear instructions. There are so many. Here are 4 examples:

Defeat the Rotting Colossus, then send it home.
After you weaken Rotting Colossus, it becomes a vehicle you can control. Just move it to a nearby rift. The Colossus will disappear.

Send the Frozen Heart home.
There is a block of ice containing a small heart. You can't attack it with your weapons. Walk around it until an icon with a kicking foot appears. Kick it towards a portal marked on the mini-map with a yellow dot. Avoid rocks. If the kick icon disappears, walk around the ice block until it reappears.

Soridormi tells you to return to the starting point and catch the sands of time.
Instructions on the screen say: "Fill the hourglass by catching the sand". The hourglass is an object on the ground that resembles an end table. Click on it to open a puzzle.
There are 2 versions: In one version, you click on the yellow blobs that swirl across the screen to fill the hourglass. In the other, there is a red dot in the center of the screen. Click the dot to move the hourglass from left to right to catch sand that falls straight down.

"Resolve the paradox". Return to the starting platform. There different versions:

"Uncross the timelines". This puzzle of tangled shapes works differently from puzzles in other xpacs. Click only on large blue dots. The objective is to untangle each shape into a straight line that runs horizontally across the screen. One approach is to start by clicking on the highest dot, then clicking on the lowest dot. There are 4 puzzles to do.

Puzzles called "Find the creature from the wrong timeline" and "Find the demons". Check the names of the characters as well as the species. If you don't know, pick anything and keep picking.

**See the Guide,Time Rifts Event Overview and Rewards, by Neryssa for more details and a look at mounts, pets, armor.**
