World of Warcraft: 5 Best Ways To Farm Soul Ash | Game Rant
Soul Ash is the currency used by the Runecarver in Torghast to craft and upgrade Legendary gear. It's difficult to "farm" Soul Ash in World of Warcraft because of the weekly resets on both Torghast wings, which only allows players to harvest Soul Ash for each wing only once a week. There are ways to increase the amount of Soul Ash on hand and keep a steady flow going between weekly resets, but it does dry up after a bit.
Soon after entering the Shadowlands (and after finishing The Maw intro), opportunities to earn Soul Ash arise. Bolvar will task the player with rescuing other members of the Alliance and the Horde in Torghast. These quests are one-time only, but are an alternative for those who don't have the patience to push their Torghast layers higher day in day out. After completing Torghast a few times and completing the introductory quests, players should have enough Soul Ash to craft a Legendary. Maybe they'll even be able to upgrade it.
5 Complete Wings In Torghast Until Layer 8
When first starting out in Torghast, players can only do layer one of each wing. When the player completes layer 1, the second layer will unlock for each wing. This even includes the wing that wasn't completed at layer 1. The higher the layers go, the higher the overall Soul Ash reward gets. However, the individual reward for each layer actually goes down as the layers go up. This means that completing a layer 2 run of a wing in Torghast will result in both layer 1 and layer 2 rewards, but the layer 2 reward will be significantly less than the layer 1 reward.
Completing layer 2 unlocks layer 3 unlocks for both wings, and so on. A layer 8 reward is measly, but completing a layer 8 Torghast run fresh will grant the player all eight layers of rewards. It's usually best to switch between wings every level to maximize the Soul Ash earned and avoid wasting time doing layers that players will get the reward for either way.
4 Complete Layer 8 Of Both Wings Each Week
When the maximum layer of Torghast is unlocked, it stays unlocked. Players don't have to progress through Torghast from the start every week. Instead, they can jump in, do the level 8 layer for each wing, and jump out. They don't lose rewards for not completing earlier layers, either. Every layer's reward piles up into one big Soul Ash drop for each wing. At layer 8, each available wing drops 570 Soul Ash. This means that when both wings are completed, the player will receive a total of 1140 Soul Ash.
Only two wings of the six total are available each week, preventing players from amassing Soul Ash. Unfortunately, the Twisting Corridors wing in Torghast does not reward Soul Ash, only cosmetics and a mount usable in the Maw on the final layer. Considering it costs 1250 to create a new legendary piece of gear, and 750 to improve it to just the second upgrade level, it's best not to waste time in the Twisting Corridors when it comes to Soul Ash.
3 Send Companions On Adventures In The Maw
The Command Table is unlockable for each Covenant and performs largely the same function it has in the last few expansions. The player acquires companions that they can send on custom Adventures, which take real-life time to complete. When done, those companions gain experience and abilities. Meanwhile, the player receives various rewards ranging from small sums of gold to crafting materials and beyond.
An adventure in The Maw might randomly pop up on the command table, which always yields some amount of Soul Ash upon completion. These adventures have special effects, though, that players should check on before sending companions to The Maw. They're also much harder than the others on offer – after all, Soul Ash is a valuable currency. These usually pop up once a day, so keep an eye out and send only the best companions.
2 Rescue Baine To Start Searching For Jaina and Thrall
The introductory questline for Torghast involves helping Bolvar Fordragon locate Baine Bloodhood, Jaina Proudmoore, and former Horde Warchief Thrall from the clutches of The Jailer. The quest to rescue Baine doesn't grant any additional Soul Ash; however, the following questline that leads to Jaina and Thrall does. The quest "Explore Torghast" rewards 200 Soul Ash for locating a hint for Jaina's location in Torghast. It doesn't matter which wings are available currently – the clue can be found anywhere.
The following quests, "Remnants of Hope" and "Information for a Price", grant 150 Soul Ash together. Meanwhile, the quests to find Thrall ("Finding A Witness" and "Lest The Trail Go Cold") provide 50 each. The quests that directly involve saving Jaina and Thrall grant 200 each, making for a grand total of 850 extra Soul Ash just for talking to Bolvar while completing Torghast.
1 Complete The Questline To Find Anduin In Torghast
The questline to find Anduin, titled "Signs of the Lion" is the only one that grants the player any Soul Ash for completing the Twisting Corridors. The Twisting Corridors are 18 layers deep, though, so players should be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time in the Tower of the Damned.
The quest only gives 50 Soul Ash upon completion. For many players, though, that meager amount is the difference between getting a Legendary upgrade this week or the next week. There are few ways to farm Soul Ash effectively, so players should take advantage of every avenue available to them to maximize their Legendary upgrading ability.
