Quest Log

Information for a Price

Information for a Price is a quest for level 60 in The Maw. It is step 3 of 8 in the Torghast storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Oribos at 40.0, 68.6. It rewards 16,350 experience and money.

Description

We must continue our search for Jaina Proudmoore. I have a new strategy to suggest.

Since arriving in Oribos, I have been approached by many of the brokers. Some ask questions, others offer help--for a price.

You have encountered others of their kind inside Torghast. They may possess information we can use, though I doubt they will part with it freely.

Seek them out and appeal to their avarice. Offer to pay for whatever information they possess.

Below is the unfortunate ticket response is that this entire questline is gated for each character.
Per Blizzard on 12/12/20:

"Thanks for your ticket about not being able to start the next quest in the Torghast quest chain.

Please note that the quests in Torghast are on a character-specific weekly lockout. So if you completed "Remnants of Hope" on your character this week, you won't be able to start "Information for a Price" until after the reset.

If you completed "Remnants of Hope" last week and still can't start the next quest this week, please do send a Bug Report so we can check it out."
It's unfortunate for your alts since you can't count on speeding through this questline to catch up on ~900 Soul Ash upfront, even 6 months from now. Really disappointing that any character that didn't hit 60 on week 1 will always be behind in this story questline.
Best idea is probably to submit feedback to try to get them to loosen up in the future.

As of 12/9 I still cannot receive this quest. I did the quest prior "Remnants of Hope" but no follow up. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a prereq that I dont know about?

This is a gated quest. The attached video is from the Shadowlands Beta, not live. This quest won't hit live servers until 8 December for NA servers and 9 December for European servers. You won't find the [item=184200] or [item=184199] on the vendors until you are actually on the quest.

A raw source of power found within Torghast. Used to fuel the Runecarver's Chamber.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Remnants of HopeThe Maw · Level 60
I studied the key you brought back from Torghast, <name>. It confirms that Jaina Proudmoore is still being held somewhere in the tower. However we do not know precisely where. Countless souls are captive inside that wretched place. A few may be intact, but many are shattered and broken.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Torment Chamber: JainaThe Maw · Level 60
<Bolvar studies the objects you acquired from the brokers in Torghast.> I sense Lady Proudmoore's magic upon this debris. And these notes describe methods to contain her power. <The Highlord focuses on the items, peering into the darkness.> By the Light! They are tormenting her with white-hot fires.
