In Patch 9.1 of World of Warcraft it is not that easy to achieve a good rating in Torghast. We reveal how to do it anyway.
With Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination, the Tower Torghast has been significantly reworked. Now it goes up to level 12 and there is also a completely new rating system where players can earn points that are then converted into a star rating. We reveal how you can achieve the maximum score and what you need to do to get the coveted flawless run with 5 stars.
Why is a high rating needed? Basically, a high rating is not strictly necessary if you only want the soul ash and soul essence of the respective level. However, a high rating of 4 or 5 stars brings additional benefits. These include:
- 4 stars are required to unlock the next level starting from level 8
- 5 stars are necessary to enter the Adamant Chambers – some bonus levels that must first be unlocked in the Chest of the Countless Things
- A high rating increases the amount of Tower Knowledge you gain from a single run.
The number of stars is determined by the score you can achieve at the end of your run.
- 40 points yield 1 star
- 80 points yield 2 stars
- 120 points yield 3 stars
- 160 points yield 4 stars
- 200 points yield 5 stars
200 points and more in Torghast – How to get 5 stars
How are points calculated? Basically, there are three main factors that influence your score. These are:
- Completeness: The more enemies you defeat, vases you destroy, souls you free, and side quests you complete, the more this contributes to completeness – up to 100 points.
- Speed: If you complete levels significantly under the specified time, you will receive a high rating and bonus points here – up to 50 points.
- Empowered: The percentage of enemies you defeat with the “Empowered” effect also grants points.
However, reaching the necessary 200 points for a 5-star rating with just these three categories is quite difficult. Therefore, additional bonuses are awarded when you achieve special feats. These include:
| Performance Achieved | Points |
| Defeat the boss on level 5 in under 20 seconds. | 20 |
| Defeat the boss on level 5 in under 40 seconds. | 10 |
| Collect at least 30 Anima powers. | 10 |
| Kill 2 elite opponents within 10 seconds. | 10 |
| No Anima power selected multiple times. | 15 |
| Defeat the boss on level 5 and still have 500 Phantasma left (per group member) | 10 |
| No elite opponent has reached 4 stacks of “Unnatural Power”. | 15 |
| No epic Anima power selected. | 10 |
| Destroy at least 90% of all ashen phylacteries. | 5 |
| Open a treasure chest. | 5 |
| Collect at least 5 Obleron armors of the same type. | 10 |
| Help a captive from Torghast. | 10 |
| Free all “Bound Soul Residues”. | 10 |
| Suffer no damage from traps. | 10 |
| Rob a broker (requires the “Thief” blessing or an “Insatiable Anima Cell”). | 5 |
So up to 155 bonus points are possible. If you keep a few of these goals in mind, it’s quite easy to crack the 200 points – even if you achieve a poor time.
Generally, it can also be said that achieving a 5-star rating becomes easier each week as more and more bonuses unlock in the Chest of the Countless Things, making your character stronger.
What causes point deduction? It’s simple: Deaths. Each death that is not caught by a Torghast perk (e.g., from Ve’nari or the Chest of the Countless Things) reduces your rating by a devastating 20 points. With too many deaths, you can even drop your score to 0 points. So avoid deaths at all costs – nothing is more detrimental to your score than too many deaths.
Do you have to do everything for a flawless run? No, it is not necessary to complete everything in the tower, as you can earn significantly more than 200 points. Various bonuses can easily lead to 250 or even more points, so a few points deduction do not weigh heavily.
Have you completed Torghast “flawlessly”? Or are you having trouble with your class? Let us know in the comments.
