Hearthstone ProTip: Disenchanting Your Non-Golden Duplicates More Easily
And we're not talking about the mass disenchant button!
Hearthstone's Collection Manager is a lot smarter than many give it credit. The development team has added certain keywords to the search engine which helps you find exactly what you need, in our case today, those pesky duplicate cards.
For most, the mass disenchant button works wonders. If you have 3 of a card or an extra legendary, you can very easily hit this button to make them all go away and use that new dust to craft one of those new overpowered Quest cards. But what about that golden card you don't want because you already have two non-golden copies, or the inverse?
Simply entering "extra" into the search field will bring up all your cards that you can potentially discard to bring you back down to the two copies of each limit. In my case, I prefer Golden cards so as I click on the normal versions and disenchant them, the Collection Manager removes each card from the extra listing when I hit the max copies you can use in a deck.
This has saved me plenty of time when I'm trying to maximize my dust return from those pesky card packs which give me dupes as I previously would painstakingly go through my collection and do the same thing. I hope this helps you too!
Bonus: Missing Cards in Your Collection
What if you wanted to find just the missing cards in your collection to see if you have anything worthy of crafting? Well you can do that too by typing in "missing" into the Hearthstone collection manager's search box!
The missing keyword will immediately bring you into crafting mode and show you cards that you don't have two total copies of (or 1 for Legendaries). This can be very useful to remind yourself of any cards you may want to grab a second of that you could potentially include in your next deck creation or simply a way to help complete that entire collection, provided of course you have the dust!
I really should consider crafting The Black Knight...
Origin Story
These keywords haven't always been in Hearthstone. They were added back in Patch 4.2.0 which introduced Lady Liadrin, More Deck Slots, and the Old Gods pre-order among other features.
This post was inspired by a recent reddit thread. It seems to not be very common knowledge!
You can also type stuff like "Owned:3+" to show only cards where you have specifically 3 or more.
Or stuff like "attack:2" to show minions and weapons with 2 attack
Or even "attack:2+" to show all minions and weapons with 2 or more attack
Thanks a lot I didn't know this it will save me a lot of time.
I learned it from Kripp stream =)
And yet he doesn't realize that you can search "new" cards in the collection and flips through dozens of pages to hover on them instead...
Old news
We literally have nothing to talk about do we, even though the Hearthstone Global Games are on.
Hi guys! do you recommend disenchanting my non-golden version of legendaries, when I have a golden legendary?
I would unless you're a hardcore collector or have some reason to think a particular legendary will get the nerf, which seems unlikely unless rotating to HoF in which case you still get the dust refund in full
Isn't really news obviously. I've been using this for months. It wasn't completely covered when it was patched in though but I don't even think this is the first time it's been mentioned on the site.
You forgot to mention that this only works for the English-language client :(
Direct translations of those keywords in other languages don't work, neither does the original keywords themselves.
It does work for non-English language clients, but you have to use the exact keyword Blizzard decided to use in your language.
Go to http://eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/20056284 and change the language of the page to the language of your client to see the list of keywords.
I honestly had no idea and actually learned something by reading this. Thanks Hearthpwn. Keep the content coming. Just because some people call this "filler" doesnt mean its a bad thing. Have no new news from Blizz to announce? no problem, here are some cool things you might not have known.. I like that about this site. Thanks again!
I enjoyed the post. Earned me 4500 dust in 2 minutes :)
I still prefer the Kripp way of disenchanting cards, when they change something with a card you disenchant all the copies you have of that same card and get full refund. There is no problem in just leaving random cards in the collection even if you have lots of copies of them.
Guys, snarky comments are completely unnecessary here. Just because you may have known about it doesn't mean other users of the site did.
this article felt like a naruto episode
Completely accurate.
Let's us refer people back to this at a later date too which is a nice thing to have. We need to do more of these types of articles, there's a lot of space in Hearthstone we've never covered.
i dont know whether this comment is necessary or not. But its surely funny one.
