World of Warcraft has given Torghast a small but fine update. For twinks, a visit to the tower is really worth it.
Although Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination has been active in World of Warcraft for a few weeks now, there are almost daily small hotfixes or adjustments. One of the best new features has been quietly implemented by Blizzard in Torghast:
In Torghast, you can now earn glory.
Why is glory important? Glory unlocks a variety of features and bonuses in WoW: Shadowlands. This includes more power over conduits and soulbinds, better loot from world quests, and new chapters of the story campaign. Since there are now nearly 50 glory levels available, collecting it can take a while. Latecomers have previously been able to speed this up through dungeons, world bosses, calling quests, and more. Now that is also possible in Torghast.
Is there guaranteed reputation? No. It is not guaranteed that every visit to Torghast will also bring a glory level. However, the probability is higher if you master more difficult levels. It is therefore not advisable to permanently farm Torghast at level 1, but rather to dare to try the higher levels – just as much as the particular character can handle. This also brings in more soul ash or even soul embers, so your secondary character can get powerful equipment faster.
Who benefits from this? Essentially for everyone who wants to level up a second or third character and enjoys Torghast. With a new class, the tower often feels completely different, allowing for a lot of enjoyment over many runs. If relevant progress in the form of glory levels is also in sight, it’s twice as fun.
Why did Blizzard do this? Blizzard wants to give players more opportunities to obtain glory levels with content they enjoy playing.
A second reason, however, is that the previously most common farming method, the dungeon Plaguefall, was “nerfed”. It was common to skip the first bosses and ride straight to the last boss to quickly complete the dungeon and obtain a glory level in just about 10 minutes. This has now been fixed, as the final boss is only accessible after all other bosses have been defeated.
What else has changed? The hotfix has brought a number of other adjustments. All relevant changes are:
Creatures and NPCs
- Players now have a grace period of 2 seconds in which they keep their sight when they enter the area obscured by soul chains during the fight against the world boss Mor’geth.
- The number of Prince Renathal present in Plaguefall has been reduced as he could be present twice during some quests.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sanctum of Domination
- Defeating Sylvanas Windrunner on Mythic difficulty now awards 2x her mount for the raid.
- Remnant of Ner’zhul
- Players can no longer ensure that they cannot interact with a second Sphere of Despair if they are already carrying another sphere.
Plaguefall
- The first three bosses of the dungeon must be defeated to open the gate to Countess Stradama.
Items and Rewards
- Repair kits for teleporters are no longer unique and now stack up to 50.
- Repaired tear keys now stack up to 50.
- The item level of conduits from the PvP vendor has been corrected.
- A bug has been fixed where Captured Amplification Devices could not drop for marksman and beast mastery hunters.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
- Glory is now a possible reward at the end of the run, with a higher chance on the higher levels.
What do you think about this new way to obtain glory? Will you visit Torghast more often now? Or does the tower not entice you anymore?
