As a recently returning player, I wonder, from your experience, if I have time to reach Tavern Pass 40 before the reset of tavern pass (which is at the release of the new expensing right ?) ?
I really want that Jaina portrait, but as I don't play much (max 1h / day), I wonder if I should bother trying hard to reach or if it's too far away. I'm currently lvl 25, and damn it's getting longer and longer to level up !
What do you guys think, with daily quest and a few games a day, is it doable ?
If what people say is true, the next expansion will launch on the 23rd of March.
If Blizzard doesn't upgrade the rewards to the next expansion before that, you will get 5 weekly and around 30 daily quests (you have to finish the weeklies on the 22nd/23rd of March then, though). Weeklies are 7k exp per week, dailies are 900-1000 per day. So if you finish each quest, this means up to 65.000 k exp. If the numbers I have seen are true, you would need 113.5k exp to get to level 50 (you need to reach 50, by the way).
If you play 1h/day and have 30 days with roughly 300 exp/h, well (9k exp), you will need to play a lot more and/or finish achievements. You should be missing roughly 40k exp. You could also afk farm BG or Ranked if you don't care much about your ranking while you use your device for other stuff.
First of all, you need to reach level 50 for the hero portrait, not 40.
Second, it depends a bit on when the expansion comes out exactly. My guess is that it will launch late March, but maybe early April.
To get from level 25 to 50, you'd need a bit over 100,000 exp (you can do the math yourself here). Per week, all daily and weekly quests combine to roughly 13,000 exp. You always get 6,000 for your weekly quests, and up to 7,000 for dailies, if they were all 1,000 exp worth. For playing, you get about 300 exp per hour, a bit more if you play ranked. That's not a perfecly accurate number though, and it's important to keep in mind that it's for match time, not play time. The time you spend in the menu won't count, so when you sit down and play for an hour, you only get exp for maybe 50 minutes of it. There's less menu time when playing battlegrounds, making it a bit more consistent when you want to grind exp.
Note: These are base values. The Tavern Pass increases the exp gain.
Assuming you have 1 hour match time per day, that's 13,000+2,100=15,100, and you'd need about 7 weeks to get from 25 to 50.
I don't think you have that much time. The expansion might come out in 3 weeks, it might come out in 5 or 6 weeks, but I don't think later than that. Depending on when it does, it may or may not be possible for you to grind out the missing exp. Theoretically, it's certainly possible, but grinding exp through playing is quite a chore, and you might have to resort to "passive playing", where you just press the play button every couple minutes while being afk. You definitely would have to play more.
I think they just assumed you were after the reward at level 50 that lets you get a new hero portrait for the class of your choice. Don't pay it any mind.
Oh sorry. Level 40 means you need 63.5k exp. So with the expected 65k from quests and 9k from playing this should be doable. Even if you won't have the last set of weekly quests, you can do it.
Yeah, I afk BG myself and it gets around 225 exp per hour if you lose every game and don't play longer than 30 minutes per game (this is the timer when exp gain ends AFAIK). You might want to do that to farm the last levels of the Tavern Pass and get a decent gold boost before the next set launches.
I guess you have bought the battle pass since you want the Jaina portrait? With the battle pass, you should have a 15% exp bonus, so you will get 6690 exp for weekly quest and between 1035-1150 exp for each daily quest, approximately 7700 exp per week for a total of ~14390 per week from quests alone. Playing for an hour will get you between 300-400 exp depending if you win or not, which with the bonus equals ~2820 per week. In total, you will get ~17210 per week. At lvl 35, your bonus will increase to 20%, and our weekly exp will increase to ~18180 exp per week.
You need 105200 exp to reach lvl 40, and since you're already lvl 25, you have 63.500 exp to go. It should take you ~2,25 week to reach lvl 35 where your bonus increases, and 1,3 weeks to reach lvl 40 from there. That's just under 4 weeks, and guess what: the expansion will release in 4 weeks, so you can just make it!
Notice that I've not counted exp from achievements, so if you manage to get a few of those done to, you could reach lvl 40 even faster.
What do you mean I need to be lvl 50 ? I'm talking about the level 40 Kul Tiran Jaina portrait.
AFKing BG seems a good way to earn xp, I didn't think about it, actually never played BG !
Anyway, thanks for the reply guys !
Ah, I see. "Jaina portrait" wasn't very clear, when there's more than one.
For level 40, you'd need 50,000 exp less, and since you have the Tavern Pass anyway, you'd get more exp as well (+15% after level 10, 20% once you get to 35). In that case, you should get to level 40 in less than 4 weeks, which is probably enough time before the next expansion comes out. You can grind a few etra hours, just to be safe, but unless you skip any quests, it should work out.
Horrible reward track but it's possible yes. Try to BG afk, buy 2 minions that scale - Like those robots that give +1attack each turn and leave it. after many minutes of afk u be rewarded with at least 90~150xp depens on how much longer that match was. U just need to this all day and u reach lvl way faster than actually playing, it's a good way to achieve ur portrait, i would do that if i was u. I do that when I Play other games, keep the game afking while playing Runeterra, Persona 5 or league of legends. I got 50lvls like this in two weeks without play the game. (but i was already lvl60) Less exp. The other advice is to play more, which is not very smart unless u really want to play the constructed game. Good luck
Just calculated things and you would need roughly 3.5 h/d of BG afk grinding + 1h/d of play to get to level 50 with your Tavern Pass (which I would recommend in order to get more value of it). Even that could be doable if you are at your device anyway. Level 40 looks pretty easy.

Very helpful at least.

Hi everyone,

Level 25 to 40 in 2 weeks is doable for sure with like 1-2 hour daily play + all quests.

Okay so that's doable. Thank you guys for those maths!
