Mystery Solved: The Secret 25th Battlegrounds Quest Reward
There had been rumours on the HearthPwn forums that an unannounced Reward existed in BGs. Today Blizzard announced it officially, with an explanation of how to get it in your lobby! Read below how it works!
The Secret Reward
Quote from BlizzardSuper-sleuths tracked down the rumors and put together the clues to discover that there was, in fact, another Battlegrounds Quest Reward option! This last, elusive Quest Reward is called Partner in Crime, and the Reward grants you your Hero’s Golden Buddy when completed.
Unlike all the other Battlegrounds Quest Rewards, Partner in Crime is only offered in very specific circumstances. Specifically, ALL heroes in the lobby must have a valid Buddy option (that means no heroes that came after Buddies left, like Sire Denathrius or Queen Azshara), and also nobody can be playing as Sir Finley or Elise Starseeker.
If your lobby fits these criteria, there is then a 1% chance of the lobby rolling Partner in Crime. If you do, it will be offered to everyone in the lobby.Congratulations to everyone who helped solve the mystery, and good luck to everyone still searching for their Partner in Crime!
Why even add this if it's so rare. I don't think I've ever been in a lobby that doesn't have one of the newer heroes.
Not much of a solution to a problem if its almost entirely randomized whether it shows up or not
Crazy wowow
There's like 15 quest rewards that seem to be secret rewards for me. I literally never see them.
Just to get this damn buddies?
I stopped playing bg the hole time buddies were in. So no need the afford for me.
There's no need to get upset about it even if you hate buddies. You'll probably never see it happen.
ah, how to screw over other players 101, i will be sure to remember this
This patch is total garbage, just give us normal buddies and old progression instead of this greedy random crap
Now when I am offered Denathrius I will be tempted to skip him for a less than 1% chance.
...but I will stick pick Denathrius every time he is offered to me >:) Too fun of a hero!
Sorry Buddy
