wow Only 3 Torghast Layers Available at Shadowlands Launch

[Staff 1,425]

Only 3 Torghast layers will be available on Shadowlands launch, but it still appears we will still be able to craft our first Legendary Item during the first week of the expansion.

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that just 3 Torghast layers would be available at launch.

• Layers 4-6 will open on December 8 with Castle Nathria and Mythic Season 1.
• Layers 7-8 will become available on December 15 with Mythic Castle Nathria.

You can get the following number of Soul Ash from 3 layers.

• Layer 1 rewards 120 Soul Ash. 
• Layer 2 rewards 100 Soul Ash.
• Layer 3 rewards 85 Soul Ash.

This means you can get a total of 305 Soul Ash per wing (or a maximum of 610 Soul Ash) the first week of Shadowlands. The Endless Corridor intro questline gives you a total of 900 Soul Ash.

• Explore Torghast rewards 200 Soul Ash.
• Remnants of Hope rewards 100 Soul Ash.
• Information for a Price rewards 50 Soul Ash.
• Torment Chamber: Jaina rewards 200 Soul Ash.
• Finding a Witness rewards 50 Soul Ash.
• Lest the Trail Go Cold rewards 50 Soul Ash.
• Torment Chamber: Thrall rewards 200 Soul Ash.
• Signs of the Lion rewards 50 Soul Ash and unlocks Access to Torghast: Twisting Corridors.

In total, you should be able to collect 1,510 Soul Ash during the first week of Shadowlands, and 1,250 is needed to craft a Legendary item.

Isn't first 3 layers 335 total per wing? 150 first layer + 100 second layer + 85 third layer? So it should be 670 from running 2 wings + 900 for quests?

Hey I updated the post. It looks like we should be able to craft them after all. Sorry about that but I suck at math.

There is currently a time gating issue on the various parts of the questline with 20-24h between the quests showing up, so I wouldn't bank on there being a week 1 legendary necessarily.  I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being rescue Jaina week 1 and then time gated to the next week for Thrall.  Then this leaves you slightly short for first week legendary which would fit to how they are trying to pace this based on recent updates.
