For the last ten years, the collectible card gameHearthstonehas been a great way to enjoy theWarcraftuniverse outside of the MMO. But as of today, you can now enjoy it insideWorld of Warcraftas well! And there’s some great rewards waiting if you decide to log in and celebrate. The event runs until March 18.
How to get the Fiery Hearthsteed Mount
The first thing you might want to do is grab yourself a flaming-hot mount by logging into the gameHearthstone. Doing so on the same Battle.net Account as yourWoWaccount will immediately unlock it for use. Then you can just log intoWorld of Warcraftand find it in your mount collection.
The Hearthstone Anniversary Questline
Now that you’re inWoWwith your new horse, it’s time to do a quick quest. MC Farala will have sent you an item in the mail, so check the nearest mailbox to pick it up. It will come with an attached item that starts a quest. Find Farala at theHearthstoneevent space in either Valdraken or your faction’s capital city. Then you’ll receive a quest to “PlayHearthstone!”
There are two ways to complete this quest. One is to approach an empty seat at a table and wait for an opponent to join you. The two of you can then play a very special version of the card game withinWorld of Warcraft. The table space is realistically limited, so your best bet is likely to find a Shady Dealer nearby. Buy a 5-pack of cards from them and take them near the game tables. Spam the item until it uses up all 5 charges. Either way, you’ll complete the quest for turn in.
To find the locations using the TomTom add-on, you may use the waypoints below:
Portal Events And Rewards
Finally, there is a periodic event that starts at the top of every hour in one of the three locations whereHearthstonetables are set up. Chat with players in-game to find out which one is currently active, but it rotates between the three locations like so: Orgrimmar > Valdrakken > Stormwind > Back to Orgrimmar. When these events happen, a portal will open up with a count-down timer. The gnomish toymaker Whizbang will erupt from the portal with an army of minions. Stop them from stampeding all over the place and you’ll collect one of a variety of rewards. Those include:
