Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a card game that has gained popularity due to its simplicity, accessibility and original look at the classic Warcraft universe. The game has a system of achievements, for each of which a prize is provided. About what a reward for ranks is provided in Hearthstone, and will be discussed in this article.
Rank system
A multi-level reward system in ranking matches was introduced along with the Grand Tournament expansion. That is, in order to improve the value of one's own rank (goes from greater to lesser), one must participate in rating battles. The award is issued at the end of the season (roughly speaking, at the end of each month) in the form of a golden chest with a number. When you open one, the player receives a jar of arcane dust necessary to create cards, as well as cards of varying degrees of rarity.
These treasure chests will help replenish the player’s deck with new cards or gold equivalents of existing ones. You only need to get certain achievements in Hearthstone.
The game provides for only five chests: four rating and one legendary. Each one contains different rewards for ranks at Hearthstone.
Hearthstone Rankings and Rewards
The prize for a rank changes gradually, but there are some key points on which the quantity and quality of the received award depend. For example, the twentieth rank will allow you to win only one regular gold card. Things are a little better with the fifteenth rank - it allows you to get a gold card of ordinary quality and rare. One for each quality.
For the tenth rank, you can already get two regular cards and one rare. The fifth rank is already more interesting - one epic map and two regular ones. For the legendary rank, the most delicious reward is one epic card and three ordinary ones. All listed cards are gold.
The only question that arises is what is the reward for the ranks in Hearthstone between the indicated values.
Hearthstone Award Table
For achieving ranks from the twentieth to the sixteenth, the player receives a Shield Bearer Box, which, in addition to the above cards, contains a seasonal card shirt, as well as a certain amount of arcane dust. This figure varies from rank to rank. Rank 15–11 allows you to get a Guardian Chest; 10-6 - The Stash of the Ogre Mage. And for those who can survive to rank 5–1 - the Treasure of the Sea Giant.
As for the Arcane Dust:
- 20, 15, 10, 5 ranks - the chest contains 5 units of arcane dust.
- 19, 14, 9, 4 ranks - the reward will contain 10 units of this magical essence.
- 18, 13, 8, 3 ranks - the player will receive already 15 dust.
- 17, 12, 7, 2 ranks - give 20 pollen.
- 16, 11, 6, 1 ranks - already 25 units of that.
As mentioned above, the reward for rank 15 in Hearthstone differs from that for the 1st number of cards in the chest.
Legend rank
Highest reward - Treasure of the Sea Giant (Legend) contains three ordinary gold cards and one epic. The amount of dust can vary from 5 to 25, and there will also be a seasonal shirt in the chest.
In addition, at the beginning of next season, the player is given several rating stars at once, allowing him to immediately jump to a certain rank. For example, for the fifth rank, 20 stars are given, at the beginning of the next season, the player will be at the 20th rank. Nevertheless, upon reaching the legendary rank, no matter how many stars a player receives, no matter what high rank he immediately jumps into, it is necessary to appear in the game at least once a season.
To summarize ...
In conclusion, one very important detail should be said: the developers provided for the possibility of maintaining the achieved award for taking rating heights. In other words, if a player reaches the fifth rank in the hope of finding out what they give for the ranks in Hearthstone, and then suddenly suffers a series of failures and returns to the 20th, the reward at the end of the season will still receive, as for the fifth rank.
Most cards may not be useful to an experienced player. In this case, they can be sprayed. Indeed, for a gold card, much more magic dust is given than for an ordinary one. But there is already a double-edged sword: developers sometimes make changes to the game balance, changing the characteristics (and cost) of cards both in the direction of decreasing and increasing.
Thus, the previously unremarkable card can become a trump card in the sleeve, allowing you to fill up an experienced player. Or vice versa. In any case, the reward for ranks in Hearthstone can be sprayed.
For example, Mediv had not yet managed to put things in order in Karazhan and to bring drunken guests home, as the developers arranged a change in balance that affected such cards as:
- Tuskarr Shaman (now he summons a random base totem);
- Yogg-Saron (this tentacle-like horror no longer mumbles sinister spells if it was muffled by the effect of dumbness or even demolished the card from the field);
- Scolding sergeant (domesticated and was discredited for exactly 1 mana: from 2 to 1);
- Call of the Forests (cost has been increased from 8 to 9 mana);
- Execution (changed cost from 1 to 2 mana units);
- Stone crusher (similarly increased cost from 1 to 2);
- Jerk (the card has fallen in price from 3 units to 1. And the inscription on the card itself says that the creature that received the “Jerk” ability is not able to attack the enemy hero on this turn).
Accordingly, cards whose value has changed can be sprayed at the previous price until October 17, 2016, namely: Yogg-Sarona, Klykarr, Sergeant and Call of the Forests.
