Clarification on Rise of Shadows Free Packs Quest Chain
Previously we reported on the quest chain that was to arrive with Rise of Shadows using datamined information. Upon launch of the expansion we found out this information was incorrect thanks to a launch blog from Blizzard. This is what you need to know.
- There are five quests.
- Each quest is time-gated by a different day. Rise of Shadows launch was day 1.
- Login each day and get the next quest after you've completed the previous one.
- There are not 12 Rise of Shadows packs rewarded for full completion.
- Remember that datamined information can always be inaccurate. Never make plans around it!
The Quests
- Day 1 - Play 25 Cards in Play mode
- Day 2 - Play 5 Games in Play mode
- Day 3 - Draw 20 Cards in any mode
- Day 4 - Win 1 Game in Play Mode
- Day 5 - Play 100 Cards
The Rewards
- Day 1 - 1 Rise of Shadows card pack & 1 The Witchwood card pack
- Day 2 - 1 Rise of Shadows card pack & 1 The Boomsday Project card pack
- Day 3 - 1 Rise of Shadows card pack & 1 Rastakhan’s Rumble card pack
- Day 4 - 1 Rise of Shadows card pack & 1 The Witchwood card pack
- Day 5 - 1 Rise of Shadows card pack, 1 The Boomsday Project card pack, 1 The Witchwood card pack, and 1 Rastakhan’s Rumble card pack
In total, we're still receiving 12 card packs, it's just a lot less Rise of Shadows packs. In total you'll receive:
- 5 Rise of Shadows Packs
- 3 Witchwood Packs
- 2 Boomsday Packs
- 2 Rastakhan Packs
I'm sorry to anyone that was mislead by the original datamined information for the expansion quest chain.
Issue rectified I received dust today to the value of the cards I unpacked that were HoFed
Is it? I have been playing for like 2 years, I pre-ordered once and yet I open around 80 packs and can craft any deck I want when the expansion launches with just in-game gold. We have been getting more gold for completing quests and more free stuff lately.
Whats the big idea in not getting a free class legendary on day 1???
And whats with my first 10 pack legendary being Chef Nomi... >:(
you got archmage vargoth, wtf are you on about?
and chef nomi is just rng.
Complain more. You got a legendary via RNG. That's what happens with opening packs.
1) everyone got a free Vargoth
2) free legendaries came with the 50 and 80 card bundles (I received them after I logged out and back in)
=D13=
Don't hate on nomi >:(
They weren't free if you paid a shit ton of money for the bundle. I don't agree with them, but they're referring to how for a while since Blizzard introduced 2 class legendaries per expansion, they've given out one for free to make up for the fact that there are now more legendary cards to collect.
The number of legendaries per expansion never went up even with the change for classes to have 2. When that change happened the number of neutral legendaries equally decreased.
Nope. It used to be 20 (9 class 11 neutral) now there are 23 (18 class and 5 neutral). In short JJroks543 is right and we got our free legendary - Vargoth.
can some1 tell me why didnt i get the quest for today?
legendary quest or regular?
it probably resets 24 hours after the release of the expansion, so its 1700 GMT for EU
Is your quest log full? clear one or log out and back in.
Thx for pointing this out, was searching if the game was bugged or something since I havent got quest yet today.
Legendary quests override others.
I meant the EU timezone
You always put disclaimers about data-mined information. All disappointment belongs to the reader, not the poster. Thank you to everyone who works so hard on this website. We appreciate it and we appreciate you all.
That being said, I agree with everyone that it would be nice if Blizzard was a little more generous with the packs. But free is free. :)
''Once Rise of Shadows launches,keep an eye on your quest log for a series of Legendary quests that will reward Rise of Shadows card packs along with other card packs from other Year of the Dragon quests''..While there was this note in blizzard patch, dataminers gave false hope
I love when people say blizzard is greedy. 95% sure its Activisions fault.
This game will never be truly generous to its players lol
Take your free packs when you get them haha
