Datamined Quest Info - Rise of Shadows Free Packs & Noblegarden
This past Thursday brought us the client data patch for the upcoming Rise of Shadows expansion (launches April 9th!) and with it came a few other internal goodies.
Today I'm sharing some information on upcoming quests we'll see next week and with the launch of Noblegarden Ignoblegarden midway through the month.
Keep in mind that everything here is datamined and subject to change.
Rise of Shadows Questline
There is a five quest chain that should launch with the expansion. In total, it's been datamined that we're going to be getting 12 Rise of Shadows card packs!

Again, datamined information so take it with a grain of salt.

Lastly, at least when it comes to quests, we've got a couple of ones that are for the upcoming celebration of Easter.

- Rewards: 2x The Boomsday Project Packs.
We'll also be seeing a themed Tavern Brawl that week (April 17-22) so get ready for egg-cellent fun!
Nope, everyone got it one month before expansion. Golden was for people who bought virtual ticket for Blizzcon.
12 packs is nice, but I really don't get comments like "Wow, Blizzard is really trying to get players back" when in reality they give about the same amount of value as always.
Marin was given to everyone who opened at least 1 pack of Cobolds and Catacombs
It's 14 packs + a playable legendary + lots of dust from hall of fame cards + 2 golden copies of the egg...
Benzi, do you have a source for what are you saying? I didn't see anything from Blizzard about not giving another legendary for logging in after the expansion releases.
?? Marin, not golden, was given to everyone, literally everyone, you didn't need to play a single game to get him
Except with the Guarenteed Legendary pity timer [Which is 10 packs for the first onces of an expansion] you ARE getting a free Legendary technically.
That and Genn+Baku being HoF'ed.
We always get legendary in the first 10 packs, there is no change in Blizzard's behaviour.
And we always get some dust with rotation, with cards being HOFed and older sets rotating out so we can dust old cards. They had to nerf Baku and Genn and there was no effective way they could do this without dust refund. They were around whole year, Blizz was very reluctant to touch these cards until they were literally forced to do so. So again, nothing new in Blizzard's behaviour
I bet you would even cry, if they would give you half of the expansion for free - why you don't get the full set...The last expansions there was always one legendary for free - which was random. This time there are 14 packs in total compared to 6...
not golden :/ just good old rusty normal eggs
We'll see, that wouldn't be blizzard-like. If they make Archmage Vargoth not able to disenchant, i think we'll get an additional legendary.
is that all 9th april?
Thank you Blizzard, very cool!
if somobedy from bllizz is reading this....thank you guys !
It was a bug and they said they fixed it.
I really like the fact blizzard is giving 12 free packs, we already received a free legendary and returning players who did not log in for the last 2 months get 15 packs.
Good changes are always welcome. Thank you Blizzard.
That's awesome!
Nope, they don't.
They already did. A few months ago when there was en event quest, it took another slot for me, so I had 4 quests at once.
hm, I never got it, looks like a bug
save a quest slot
Huh, weird.
The patch notes said "Once Rise of Shadows launches, keep an eye on your quest log for a series of Legendary quests that will reward Rise of Shadows card packs along with card packs from other Year of the Dragon sets."
Instead here it seems like they will give only Rise of Shadows packs during that quest chain.
Not that I complain. They are a lot. Enough to make a difference for a f2p player.
