Across the Timeways expansion is releasing next week, and just like every set, it will come with a rewards track refresh. On November 4, all players will be reset to Level 1 and start earning new rewards as they climb back up. Here’s a summary:
Once again, the free rewards track remains pretty much the same as before. The total number of reward haven’t changed – we’re just getting packs/cards from the new expansion instead. We’re also continuing the last few expansions’ trend of having a random Legendary at Level 1 (in this case, a random Fabled Legendary) and the “actual” free expansion Legendary at Level 20.
The paid rewards (Tavern Pass) has one change compared to last time. Instead of the usual 11 skins, we’re only getting 8 skins. 3 skins for level 100 have been replaced by a Signature Fabled card – Azure Queen Sindragosa. While Fabled Signatures are pretty nice because they are technically 3 cards in one, it’s hard to say whether it’s a downgrade or an upgrade. That’s up to the personal perference, I guess.
This expansion’s free Legendary every player gets at Level 20 is Chrono-Lord Deios. In practice, Level 20 is not hard to get at all (especially if you keep your Dailies/Weeklies), but if you wanted to play it right away on launch (or during the Pre-Release Brawl)… well, sorry, no can do. As usual, the card is uncraftable and not disenchantable.
Tavern Pass has a single new Diamond card – Chromie at Tavern Pass Level 2. For collecting 27 Legendary cards from the expansion, players are getting two Signature cards – Stormrook and Sandmaw (the rarities are the same as last time, but in the past we could get a Legendary card from this achievement). We also have two new cosmetic coins in the expansion – Clockwork Coin (Tavern Pass Level 90) and Sundial Coin (Owning 145 expansion cards). Keep in mind that progressing those achievements will be easier when mini-set releases because the requirements for cosmetics don’t increase (but the pool of cards grows so it’s easier to get them).
Tavern Pass also includes a bunch of other cosmetics like Signature and Golden cards, Hero skins, card back + non-cosmetic card packs. But those are mostly the same as they’ve been for the last few expansions.

The sands of time shift and reveal a vision of the future: a brand-new Rewards Track! When the Rewards Track refreshes with the launch of Across the Timeways, all players will automatically be granted any unclaimed rewards on the current free Rewards Track and the Tavern Pass track (if acquired), before a completely new Across the Timeways Rewards Track takes its place.
Across the Timeways Rewards Track
The free Rewards Track for Across the Timeways will include 14 Golden cards and the Chrono-Lord Deios Legendary card*! Other spoils from across the ages include a random Legendary Fabled card, random Legendary card, random Epic card, Tavern Tickets, and a bounty of Gold and Packs.
* These 14 Golden cards (two copies of each of 7 cards from the set) and the Chrono-Lord Deios Legendary card earned on the Rewards Track can’t be crafted or disenchanted.
Across the Timeways Tavern Pass
With the launch of Across the Timeways, a new Tavern Pass arrives packed with cosmetic rewards, XP boosts, Signature cards, and expansion packs!
Getting the Tavern Pass at any time will immediately grant you a 10% XP Boost that lasts for the rest of the Across the Timeways expansion, plus all items up to your current level on the paid track. Unlock your rewards even faster!
As you progress along the Tavern Pass during the Across the Timeways expansion, you can claim these timeless treasures*:
* This reward includes the Signature version of Azure Queen Sindragosa, along with Signature versions of its two token cards, Azure King Malygos and Azure Oathstone, which appear when Sindragosa is added to your deck.
Signature Card Achievement Awards
Progress to the Legendary Collector Achievement to get two copies of each of these Signature cards from the timestream!
New Cosmetic Coins
Two new cosmetic coins will be added with Across the Timeways: the Clockwork Coin and the Sundial Coin. The Clockwork Coin is earned by reaching level 90 on the Rewards Track with the Tavern Pass. The Sundial Coin is earned by completing the Achievement for collecting 145 Across the Timeways cards.
Across the Timeways will have a Mini-Set, coming in Patch 34.4, that will make it easier to complete the collection-based Achievements. We’ll share more information about that Mini-Set before it goes live. In the meantime, check out the 34.0 Patch Notes for more information about everything else coming soon!
