Datamined Quest Info - Rise of Shadows Free Packs & Noblegarden
This past Thursday brought us the client data patch for the upcoming Rise of Shadows expansion (launches April 9th!) and with it came a few other internal goodies.
Today I'm sharing some information on upcoming quests we'll see next week and with the launch of Noblegarden Ignoblegarden midway through the month.
Keep in mind that everything here is datamined and subject to change.
Rise of Shadows Questline
There is a five quest chain that should launch with the expansion. In total, it's been datamined that we're going to be getting 12 Rise of Shadows card packs!

This post on the front page of the site has the information you are looking for. Clarification on Rise of Shadows Free Packs Quest Chain. Its a time gated quest.
where is day 2 quest?
Cant wait to crack dem good old eggs.
i have completed first one but it won't continue again. Does anyone know it is separated quest or a chain ?
forget it, I was dumb. It says login each day. =)
How many free quest slots should we have? Is one enough?
Free packs are always a good thing, but 12? That's fantastic :)
New players need bulk commons and rares, only way to actually function as such.
Can anyone confirm that tomorrow the 3 other sets are rotating out? :) so i can start disenchanting stuff
You've got about 36 hours to go.
Why are you in such a hurry to disenchant though? At least wait and see if you even need the dust you'd get from disenchanting. You might open, or already own, what you need and no one will even know what's meta relevant for a week or two.
So no new daily re rolls quest they need to remove odd even quest I would think.
Do i have to have a quest slot for the chained quest or are you rewarded with packs simply by matching the conditions ?
not sure, but in previous releases, these special quests are for everyone, so kind of mandatory,
blizzard will replace a quest if you dont have space.
I will save a quest slot.
giving nongolden eggs is the biggest scam in hearthstone history
Nice. Did not expect this amount of free packs. :)
Seems harsh on very new players to allow that; they could easily dust it thinking they want some random epic, only to regret it later. The game doesn't need to be MORE harsh to the new player experience, it's already rough.
I don’t think we’re getting only RoS packs - blizzard have said we’ll also get year of the raven packs, and on Disguised Toast’s stream at blizzard he had a quest to play 25 cards that rewards him with 1 RoS pack and 1 WW pack. I think the breakdown of packs will be:
1) 1 RoS and 1 WW
2) 1 RoS and 1 Boomsday
3) 1 RoS and 1 RR
4) 2 RoS
5) 1 of each
This fits a pattern and gives us 6 RoS packs, which is in line with past expansions. Then again, maybe Blizzard have no idea what they’re talking about and the build Toast played was old, so we could get 12 RoS packs. Who knows?
They actually officially said that we would be getting year of the Dragon packs along with RoS, not year of the Raven packs. Though I'm pretty sure they made a typo when they said year of the Dragon.
There was also Naturalize and Doomguard able to be drafted in Arena at Blizzard HQ, so safe to say that not everything was finished yet.
IIRC, at the Witchwood launch, the quests randomly gave Witchwood packs or pack released during the Year of the Mammoth, so yeah, it makes sense that this would be similar.
The wording in the patch notes is a little weird, but I guess "Year of the Dragon packs" encompasses everything released during the Year of the Raven, plus Rise of Shadows.
(Technically not the same as Standard because it does not include Classic.)
Does anyone know specifically what the reference to the quests 'chaining' means? Does that mean you can play them consecutively all on one day, as opposed to playing the five quests on five different days?
