The genre of collectible card games has its own incomparable circle of fans. Tactical battles, the opportunity to win against a stronger opponent, despite his clear superiority, excitement and luck - all this makes each game different from the previous one. Unfortunately, the process of obtaining cards is highly dependent on randomness, but even in such cases, luck can be taken into your own hands.
Sets
The main way to replenish the collection in Hearthstone is to create cards in sets. Such a service costs 100 units of game gold. In this case, you immediately get five random cards from the specified set.
Currently, the player can purchase three types of sets:
- "Classic" - contains the main cards for the game. This kit is active from the very beginning of the project and has not changed for all the time (with the exception of minor edits).
- The Big Tournament is the set that was released last but one. In connection with the new developers policy in the next season can be removed. Therefore, more experienced players with large collections try to acquire it.
- "Awakening of the ancient gods" - was added with the latest update. The most current deck at the moment, which is used in standard mode along with the "Classics".
In fact, this is a regular purchase, or a game in a casino. You are guaranteed a win, but the size depends only on His Majesty the occasion. If you translate in real money, then one set costs from 75 rubles (if you take 2 pieces). The larger the package you purchase, the greater the discount you will receive. For 60 sets, you will have to pay 3,500 rubles (58 rubles apiece).
Getting legendary cards this way is incredibly difficult due to the number of elements in the decks. Players are of the opinion that kits bought for real money are more likely to have good cards, but such statements are not supported by anything.
Simulator
For those who want to learn in practice how the random system in the game functions, one of the users developed a simulator for creating maps in Hearthstone. In it you can both come up with your own card from scratch, and try to open sets online.
This is a good way to understand how random number mechanics work, and how difficult it is to get rare cards in your deck. The samples created in this simulator are placed in a special gallery. But we hasten to upset you - the developers do not look there, and the map projects remain in the gallery without getting into the game.
Efficiency
For gamers who have experience in card games and have learned the basics of tactics, there is an alternative that is better than directly creating cards. Hearthstone has a special mode called Arena. Entrance there costs only 150 gold, but the reward can be simply stunning.
On it you will be asked to choose one of the three heroes and collect him a deck of random cards (you yourself will also choose one of three). With this deck you will fight with similar opponents to three of your defeats. The more matches you win, the more rewards you get.
As we mentioned, making Hearthstone cards costs 100 gold. In the arena, even with all the lost matches, you will get at least one set and a bit of enchantment dust (more about that later). With three victories, you are already guaranteed to receive 2 sets and fully pay for participation in the arena.
Craft
In Hearthstone, the creation of maps is not limited to their number. Despite the fact that a deck can have a maximum of two identical cards (regardless of the frame), they can be used in various assemblies, and storing more than two copies is simply impractical. However, when buying sets, you can get extra copies.
Excessive cards can be disassembled into Arcane Dust. It turns out a little, but over time, from it you can directly craft the cards you need. Unfortunately, this method is not applicable to new collections, and allows you to create only old designs. So in Hearthstone, creating maps is a long and difficult task that will require a lot of endurance and nerves for the player to create a useless Wandering Light over and over again.
