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!
Introducing the Quest for Packs Sweepstakes!
Everybody loves opening Hearthstone card packs. . . . How would you like a chance to open 3,000 of them?
To celebrate the amazing adventures we had together in the Year of the Mammoth, starting at 17:00 GMT on February 1 and up until 17:00 GMT on February 14, each daily Quest* you complete during the Quest for Packs grants you one entry for a chance to win 3,000 Hearthstone card packs, the Lich King’s helm, and more!
It’s incredibly easy to enter—just log in and complete your daily Quests! That’s it!
Quest for Packs Prizes
The rewards for this quest are very rich indeed! You could win one of these prizes:
Grand Prize – One (1) grand prize winner will receive a prize package including:
- 3,000 Hearthstone Card Packs – That’s 1,000 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth: Journey to Un’goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, and Kobolds & Catacombs.
- The Lich King’s Helm - We found it in his desk after his internship ended. Now we’re passing it on to you! Yes, the very same helm worn by the Lich King as he stalked the halls of Blizzard Entertainment could be yours!
- Hearthstone Apparel Gift Pack- When the crown of Grand Prize Winner grows too heavy, try this t-shirt, cap, and pin on for size!
Mammoth Card Bundle – One thousand (1,000) players will receive a Mammoth Card Bundle containing 10 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth.
Mammoth Pack – Fifty thousand (50,000) players will receive three card packs—one from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth.
Introducing the Mammoth Card Bundle
To commemorate the Year of the Mammoth, we’re adding a new bundle to the shop! The new Mammoth Card Bundle includes 10 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth, for a total of 30 card packs.
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.
Purchase is limited to one Mammoth Card Bundle per account.
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 amount of packs is wrong for the 50,000 players.
It is three card packs - one from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth
See english post: https://playhearthstone.com/en-gb/blog/21469306/quest-for-packs-to-win-up-to-3000-card-packs
The total amount of packs should also be corrected.
1 x 3,000 + 10 x 1,000 + 50,000 x 3 = 163,000
If we assume that the 50,000 players got 3 of each pack. What about the last 20,000 pack?
483,000 - 1 x 3,000 - 10 x 1,000 - 50,000 x 3 x 3 = 20,000
EDIT: I guess the numbers of packs from the 1k winners have been updated
The last 20.000 can be explained by the fact that the medium prize is 10 of EACH pack. Which totals it to 30 Packs.
Corrected calculation:
1 x 3,000 + 1,000 x 10 x 3 + 50,000 x 3 = 183,000
Beacuse 10 packs of each expansion in 1k winners
Rules : 7. Prizes.
a. Grand Prize Winners. Sponsor shall award one (1) Grand Prize. Each winner of the Grand Prize will receive:
(i) one hundred (100) Year of the Mammoth Bundles (as defined below); (ii) one (1) Lich King Helm; and (iii)
a Hearthstone t-shirt, hat, and collectible pin. Approximate Retail Value is $6,564.00 USD.
What about that?
If you read further in the rules, it says the bundle contains 10 packs from each expansion.
That is: 3 x 10 x 100 = 3,000 packs for the winner of the grand prize
yeah, thx! I have to learn to read !
CHINA ONLY .
KOREA ONLY .
I didn't really understand how this works. So we just complete the quests and then they'll take a winner at random from the accounts that did it? No registrations or anything?
Yup. Something similar had been introduced in Heroes of the Storm last summer - you just had to log in and win up to 3 matches to earn a lottery ticket ("sweepstake" I think) and you could win a lot of stuff, from lootboxes to gaming rigs. No need to register etc., all went through the client.
mmm..Hass Stone
But Hairstone is even beter!
Hairston :P
This event confuses me a little bit, What's the point of the daily quests exactly? and do those quests still serve a purpose if I decide to buy that pack bundle? and if so what purpose does it serve?
There will be Daily Quests each day. Maybe even multiple.
You can however only enter the competition once per day through the event.
Quick maths
"The "Mammoth Bundle" can be purchased once" for account or for the server? I'm playing on NA and EU so will I be able to buy it for each?
it says per account on the article.
I geuss it works like the welcome bundle which would mean you can buy 1 on each server
wtf? i am lost.. which event? i need to buy bundle to join that game for 3000 packs?
