Season 2 will also introduce a new game mechanic to Battlegrounds: Quests! Like the traditional Hearthstone Quests and Questlines, Battlegrounds Quests require you to meet a particular condition in order to earn a reward that will empower you for the rest of the game.

In Battlegrounds, Quests have their own unique twist. Instead of starting the game with your Quest, your Quest options will appear on turn 4 (the 6 Gold turn). And instead of getting the same Quest and Quest Reward every game, you pick them from three options at that time. You are choosing both your Quest and the Reward for completing it as a pair, so choose carefully! Once you complete your quest, you automatically receive your Reward.

There are about 13 different Quest options and 24 different Reward options that are available in any given game (certain Quests and Rewards are blocked from particular lobbies or Heroes to prevent unwanted synergies).

The Quest options represent the baseline requirements you will need to complete in order to receive your Reward (subject to some adjustments, discussed below):

• Invite the Guests: Buy 7 minions.
• Dust for Prints: Add 15 cards to your hand.
• Cry for Help: Play 6 Battlecry minions.
• Witness Protection: Have a friendly Taunt minion be attacked 8 times.
• Exhume the Bones: Trigger 6 friendly Deathrattles.
• Track the Footprints: Have Bob’s Tavern Refresh 10 times.
• Assemble a Lineup: Summon 14 minions.
• Unmask the Culprit: Lose or tie 3 combats.
• Find the Murder Weapon: Increase a minion’s stats 15 times.
• Reenact the Murder: Have 18 friendly minions die.
• Sort It All Out: Order your minions from lowest to highest Attack for 4 combats.
• Follow the Money: Spend 25 Gold.
• Unlikely Duo: Play 5 minions from a minion type or another minion type.*
  * In-game, this will choose two minion types that are legal for that game and list them. For example, “Play 5 Beasts or Demons.”

These are the types of Rewards you can earn for completing your Quests:

• Snicker Snacks: At the end of your turn, 2 friendly minions trigger their Battlecries.
• Stolen Gold: Start of Combat: Make your left and right-most minions Golden.
• Evil Twin: Start of Combat: Summon a copy of your highest-Health minion.
• Ritual Dagger: After a friendly Deathrattle minion dies, give it +4/+4 permanently.
• Anima Bribe: After you sell a minion, give its stats to a minion in Bob’s Tavern.
• Devils in the Details: End of Turn: Your left and right-most minions consume a minion in Bob’s Tavern.
• The Smoking Gun: Your minions have +5 Attack.
• Cooked Book: After you buy a minion, give it +1/+1 and upgrade this.
• Mirror Shield: After each Refresh, give a minion in Bob’s Tavern +4/+4 and Divine Shield.
• Secret Sinstone: After you Discover a card, get an extra copy of it.
• Ghastly Mask: Add ‘[a random “end of turn minion”]’ to your hand. Your end of turn effects trigger twice.
• Theotar’s Parasol: At the end of your turn, give your right-most minion Stealth until next turn and +8 Health.
• Teal Tiger Sapphire: Minions in Bob’s Tavern have +1/+1 for each time it was Refreshed this turn.
• Red Hand: At the start of your turn, give a minion in your hand +12/+12.
• Victim’s Specter: After each combat, get a plain copy of the last friendly minion that died.
• Hidden Body: Discover a minion of your Tavern Tier. (Can be earned endlessly!)
• Tiny Henchman: At the end of your turn, give +2/+2 to 3 friendly minions of Tier 3 or below.
• Yogg-tastic Tasties: At the start of your turn, spin the Wheel of Yogg-Saron.
• Wondrous Wisdomball: Occasionally gives helpful Refreshes.
• Staff of Origination: Start of Combat: Give your minions +15/+15.
• Alter Ego: Even Tier minions in Bob’s Tavern have +6/+6 (Swaps to Odd next turn!)
• The Friends Along the Way: At the start of your turn, get 2 random [random minion type].
• Pilfered Lamps: You only need 2 copies of a minion to make it Golden.
• Menagerie Mayham: At the end of your turn, give your minions +1 Attack for each friendly minion type.

The Quests and Rewards are randomly paired together. The numbers in these Quests vary based on which Reward they are paired with, based on how juicy the Reward is. The less powerful Rewards will make your Quest easier to complete and the more powerful Rewards will make the Quest harder to complete. There are also small adjustments based on your hero’s Armor Tier (slightly harder for heroes with less Armor, slightly easier for heroes with more Armor).

Battlegrounds Quests will last until the end of Season 2. You can learn more about Battlegrounds Quests and Quest Rewards in the Battlegrounds Quests Mechanic blog.
