This is to all of you living far away from the Fireside life and not willing to use Nox for any kind of reasons. I believe this way is a bit less dangerous than Nox coords due to the reason that GPS is tracked by the robot system of Blizzard in real time, while FSG events are tracked by people and only upon several complaints. I find Nox pretty safe way, but I was too lazy to install it and to find working tavern, so I went old-school way.
Step 0. Mandatory requirements
Actually, there is only one. You will need 2 devices with HS and wi-fi spot. That's it. If you wanna cardback too, you will need 3 devices.
Hint: notebooks sometimes don't work as intended for FSG, so tab+phone (or 2 phones, or 2 tabs) will be perfect. My notebook was online via my wi-fi, yet HS didn't recognize it as wi-fi connection for some kind of reason.
Step 1. Hold FSG to create a tavern
1) Go to https://eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/fireside-gatherings
2) Click host the gathering
3) Sign all the forms there
Hint: you can make FSG 48 hours prior to actual starting time, so if it is 9:00 a.m. 30.10, you can host your FSG on 1 November.
Hint: choose time when you certainly will be home, and make it a bit more than needed, like 2-3 hours at least. I just had to reschedule tavern just because there was FSG maintenance for the 3 hours when the tavern was scheduled.
Hint: you have to include your real address (where you want to hold the FSG AND Tavern). This is very important. Blizzard robot has to change your address into their format with GPS coords.
Hint: don't write description like 'I do it at home alone for Nemsy, noone invited'. Add a little imagination, write something about closed tournament, start of new HS cafe or anything like that.
4) Click create FSG. Now you need to hold FSG with at least 3 check-ins. It is said that confirmation may take up to 24 hours (usually 10-15 mins), though both my events got instant confirmation status from Blizzard.
5) While you wait for the scheduled FSG, create 2 more HS accounts and boost them through the tutorial. No unlocking or any other activity required, only Illidan slayed.
6) The day before the FSG, if you log in the game, it will ask you if you really wanna host the event. Click 'yes' only while at home and connected to the wi-fi.
7) When the time is up, connect with your main acc, press FSG button, choose your wi-fi and click 'Host'. You will get yellow button in the left bottom corner. Now get your second device, connected to the same wi-fi, with new account #1. Connect to the FSG. Now you have 2 check-ins. Repeat with new account #2 (you may relog it on your second device instead of new account #1). Now you have 3 check-ins (you and 2 new accounts). Within 10-15 mins, you may refresh battle.net page, and now you have your first successful FSG.
7.1) For cardback, you will need 3 devices connected to FSG simultaneously instead of 2. You need to hold 3 matches against any of your new accounts (insta concedes worked I believe, did it long time ago), while another new account is in FSG too.
Hint: you don't need to play matches at this time for Nemsy, Blizz robot counts only check-ins in the FSG.
Step 2: Creating tavern
1) This is pretty much the same as Step 1. You go to https://eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/fireside-gatherings, click Create a tavern, then fill in all required fields. Remember, 'playing alone, noone invited' is not a good description, while 'attempt to create HS cafe, only testing wi-fi spot for future great events and tournaments' is.
Hint: the address has to be the same as FSG, which you held in Step 1. Just don't name it 'Home', name it like 'Lich King tavern' or stuff.
Hint: don't name your tavern too obviously, like 'playing home alone', it may give you unnecessary attention.
2) Repeat confirmation the day before the scheduled event (at the address of event and through the wi-fi).
3) When the time is up, create your tavern with your main account (point 7 of step 1), connect with one of your new accounts. Now you have to play 3v3 brawl. Choose it, insta-concede then by your new account after you get your starting hand. Congrats on getting Nemsy, it is instant I believe.
Hint: you don't need to unlock any heroes for your new account, mage deck should be enough.
Hint: your tavern like your FSG event starts only at scheduled time, your time zone. You may create it earlier, but check-ins count only within the time period mentioned while creating FSG or tavern event.
I like this way more, though the whole process might seem too long, you do not violate any Blizz rules (you may have multiple bnet accounts, and you don't use any side programs like Nox).
I will be glad to answer any questions. And yes, I know, this is ABC stuff, but sometimes such guides help not to lose time, like I did scheduling the tavern for Thursday morning 8:00-10:00 a.m., and Blizz scheduled FSG maintenance for 8:00-11:00 a.m. Thursday.
