Quote from BlizzardIn the year of the Mammoth, you embarked on many memorable quests! You explored steamy jungles in search of primordial mysteries in Journey to Un’goro. You embraced the deadly power of the Lich King in Knights of the Frozen Throne. You delved deep into trap-infested tunnels to loot incredible treasures in Kobolds & Catacombs. Now, one last legendary quest remains in the Year of the Mammoth, and the rewards are beyond your wildest dreams!

You can win a free Mammoth Card Bundle when you Quest for Packs, but for a limited time (starting with the arrival of the upcoming 10.2 Update), you’ll also be able to purchase one.

Please read the rules for eligibility, and happy Hearthstone Questing! We’ll see you in the tavern!
*Entries limited to a maximum of fourteen (14) per Battle.net account and one (1) entry per day.
The marketing guys from team five should get paid at random aswell.
Can pls someone tell me if you can change your daily quests for those 2 weeks?i mean you should be able to right?it says to enter you have to do a daily quest so even if yu change it that counts too right?
Yes that should count. You just have to complete 1 quest a day, doesn't matter which one.
Yea thats what i thought too.Well im not sure if your older quests count too.Anyways thanks for answering.
Explain me please why do you run such random, full of disappointment event, which benefits like 0.004 players?
Rag fire festival was great.
Frost event was also good.
But this one too bad
can somebody do the math if the 3000 Packs would be enough for a full golden Standard Collection? :D Could be close but possible.
On a long run, one pack gives ~100 dust of value so 3000 packs is 300000 dust. According to HearthPwn, my collection still requires 1653300 dust to complete for full standard gold collection, so 300000 isnt even near full golden standard collection.
I could not imagine opening 3,000 packs....someone will figure out the calculations and such - but that would be a lot of dusting for the standard player - the time spent alone would be numbing. that being said - can I win? lol
3000 packs= 14 epic cards 3 legendary nahh thats too much 4 epic and 2 legendary :D
It's actually at least 10 golden legendaries, 20 on average. And at least 75 golden epics.
According to the contest rules, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont and North Dakota are not eligible for this contest. Its in section 1 after part (d)..
you forgot Québec, we have a lot of Hearthstone players, notable ones : Docpwn, Cydonia, Noxious.
Kinda unfair to not state Québec is excluded while giving info to others.. not everyone lives in the god damn usa :P
Blame Quebec for having weird laws. Note how free trials have to be worded differently and such. Blizzards lawyers prob advised then not to give Quebec packs to avoid legal issues.
I didnt say its blizzard fault I was pointing out that maryland vermont and other states are to blame too, and that the guy who posted wanted to inform people that these states cannot participate but didn't include Quebec in his saying, we have 6 million people here lol, its not like its a dead man's land.
Pretty sure there's gonna be that one dude who makes like 30 accounts to enter 14 times on each. >_>
And someone with 1 entry will just win the 3k packs and that's it.
Great the only Canadian province who gets excluded again : Québec, I fucking hate my province sometimes for prohibiting us to win some contests. fuck me
btw , excluded places in the USA and Canada:
WHO ARE NOT
RESIDENTS OF THE STATES OF NORTH DAKOTA, VERMONT, CONNECTICUT, OR MARYLAND IN
THE UNITED STATES, OR THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, CANADA (“ENTRANTS”).
What, why no Maryland? Guess I won't bother doing a quest everyday then.
means you have laws protecting you in maryland just like quebec and other states. Meaning it usually costs companies a fee to enable these states to enter the contest and too much paperwork to fill. so usually these states and québec are almost always excluded from every contest of any companies.
