Save Those Dailies! Year of the Raven Celebratory Card Packs Begin Next Week
It looks like the special quests we datamined in the last patch are going to begin next week!
- Every daily quest that you complete will give you a free card pack from any Year of the Raven set including Witchwood.
- It looks like you can complete multiple dailies in a day and get multiple card packs should you forget to login one day.
- Make sure you have 2 dailies in your quest log before the fun starts on March 26 at 11:59 p.m. PDT in Americas and 23:59 CEST in Europe.
Quote from BlizzardWith the arrival of The Witchwood in Mid-April, the Year of the Raven begins! There’s good reason to flock to the tavern before that fateful day because we’re throwing a party that’s sure to make feathers fly!
To ring in the coming Hearthstone Year, we’re throwing a New Year of the Raven party! Every time you complete a daily quest*, you’ll also be awarded a card pack. These packs can be from Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Kobolds & Catacombs, or even The Witchwood! You can tear open The Witchwood card packs after the expansion goes live in April.
The party starts on March 26 at 11:59 p.m. PDT and lasts until April 9 at 11:59 PDT, so don’t be late!
Speaking of The Witchwood, the card reveal livestream begins March 26 at 11:00 am PDT! Bear witness to spooky new cards, LIVE!
*The Play a Friend quest will be disabled for the course of the event, but will return after it’s over.
probably
18 packs, meaning roughly $24 dollars worth of packs for free? After giving us an extra 20 packs for the pre-purchase? I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it would seem Blizzard is ready to start treating its consumers more like humans and less like cash cows lol. Fair play guys, much appreciated.
How did you get 18? Isn't it 16? (14 days, plus hoarding 2 from before...)
15 days +2 from before = 17 packs available.
I don't get it. It's 14 days, you may get 2 more if you keep 2 extra dailies. How do you end up with 18?
EDIT: Actually it appears to be 1 hour before quest giving in Europe, so it may go up to 17. If you are fast enough. I still don't get how you ended up with 18 though.
yeah, I think it would be 17 packs in total. If you have 3 quests ready on the 26th, and do all quests everyday until the 9th, that should leave you with 17 free packs.
on 26th- 3 quests = 3 packs
on 27th-April 9th- 14 quests = 14 packs
I don't mind them deactivating the Play a Friend's Quest that much. Yes, they probably do it so people can't hoard even more gold but getting an additional pack with the value of 100g is nice. Especially as for my case I get between two to five of those quests per week from friends which is a total of 400g but now it's 700g of sheer value. GGs Blissert
I don't know if we can rely on the data-mind info considering it had only KnC packs along with Witchwood packs on the specific days.

So there isn't a pack limit? Noice.
Community: "HS is too expensive for new players!"
Blizzard: "Hold my beer."
well...it still is, but this will definitely help
This is the perfect time for a new player to get into the game, that was my point. Beginning of the new year means the fewest number of cards in standard there will be for the next 12 months. 20 free packs with pre-order. Bonus 3 packs just for logging in on launch day. 14 free packs just for completing daily quests. Not to mention there is still the new player bundle. This is the most affordable Hearthstone has ever been.
Why does it always seem like a “Whose on 1st” routine or a “3 Stooges” episode when dates, free stuff, & times come together from Big B?
Make sure to have 2 quests the day before the event goes live. The time when the event begins should also be when you get a new daily quest if I'm not mistaken. That way you'll have 3 quests to complete when the event begins.
You wouldn't be able to gain the 10 gold reward for winning 3 games without also completing the quest. He phrased it pretty badly.
