Shop Update: Tavern Pass, Darkmoon Faire Treasures, New & Returning Hero Skins and more

Another shop update dropped today yesterday (as usual, I didn’t have time to post it during expansion lanuch)! As usual, new set means a huge shop update with lots of new items. Some are really nice deals, others… not so much. In particular, we have the new Darkmoon Faire Treasures “event”, in which King Krush Pet is the main prize. There are 10 prizes in total and the first “roll” is free, but here’s the catch – rewards have weight and King Krush is 1 in 1000 (so 0.1% chance to get it at first). If you read my other posts about it, the whole “event” reeks of gambling and tries to obfuscate the fact that most of players will need to spend $158 to get the pet. Because of that, I wouldn’t recommend participating unless you’re okay with spending that much. Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:

• The Lost City of Un’Goro Tavern Pass (2000 Runestones or $20) – Access to the paid rewards track, which contains XP boosters, card packs, a few Golden/Signature/Diamond cards, as well as lots of cosmetics. You can find a full list here.
• Darkmoon Faire Treasures (all rolls cost 15,800 Runestones or $158) – Each roll gives you a random prize, from 1 Golden Un’Goro pack or Common Signature Card, all the way to King Krush Pet. First roll is free, then the cost increases each time. Rewards are weighted – for example, on your first roll you have 30% chance to get Common Signature, 28% to get a pack, 2.5% chance to get Signature Opu the Unseen, and only 0.1% chance to get the pet. You can find a full list of odds here (under “Darkmoon Faire Treasures” tab).

Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, unique Hero tray, or some extra visual effects. Some of those might also be included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (other than Diamond & Legendary Heroes).

New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
