What is Hearthstone?
Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital strategy card game that anyone can enjoy. Players choose one of nine epic Warcraft® heroes to play as, and then take turns playing cards from their customizable decks to cast potent spells, use heroic weapons or abilities, or summon powerful characters to crush their opponent.
On which platforms will Hearthstone be available?
Hearthstone will initially be available for Windows® and Macintosh®, with a version for iPad coming later.
What are the system requirements for Hearthstone?
We’ll announce specific system requirements closer to launch.
Do I need to know anything about strategy card games or Warcraft to play?
Not at all! We’ve designed Hearthstone so that anyone can get into it, no matter how familiar they are with the Warcraft universe or collectible card games. The game will teach you everything you need to know as you play it.
How do I apply for the beta test?
Just opt-in with your Battle.net account!
How will I get cards in the beta test? Do I need to purchase them with real money?
We plan to test the in-game store during the beta test, and players will be able to purchase card packs using their Battle.net Balance or other Battle.net-supported payment methods. Players will also be able to obtain cards and card packs free of charge through Practice mode, Play mode, and Arena.
The card pack price in the beta test does not necessarily reflect what the final prices will be at launch.
Will the cards I earn or purchase in the beta test carry over into the live game? What happens if I purchased beta card packs for real money?
At this point in the closed beta, all purchases will exist in your game going forward. Also, as a thank you for testing out the in-game store during Hearthstone’s beta phase, everyone who purchased a card pack or entry into The Arena in the beta test will receive a Golden Legendary card, Gelbin Mekkatorque.
Will I be able to add friends in Hearthstone and chat with people?
Yes! The folks in your Battle.net friends list (both BattleTag and Real ID friends) are available for games or text-based conversation. Players will not be able to chat with anyone who is not on their friends list. However, players will be able to choose from a variety of emotes for basic communication during games.
I don’t live in the US; can I still participate in the beta test?
We hope to launch a beta test in other game regions after the initial beta-test launch in North America, but we don’t have any specifics to announce at this time. Stay tuned for updates.
Crafting
The crafting system is an element of Hearthstone that allows players to directly create cards from the expert card set. It can be accessed through the 'My Collection' screen.
Crafting consumes Arcane Dust to produce new cards, while disenchanting allows players to destroy unwanted cards, granting a quantity of Arcane Dust in exchange. Crafting is the quickest and most direct way of obtaining a specific card, provided you have sufficient Dust.
The amount of Arcane Dust required for crafting, and granted by disenchanting, is determined by the card's rarity. Golden cards also cost several times more Dust to craft, and reward several times more for disenchanting.
Only cards from the expert card set can be crafted or disenchanted. Reward cards and basic cards, as well as golden basic cards gained from levelling heroes, cannot be crafted or disenchanted.
[edit] Use
The combination of disenchanting and crafting allows players to convert unwanted cards into more desirable options. However, crafting any card costs between four and eight times more Dust than would be rewarded for disenchanting the same card. This makes the process extremely inefficient. Nonetheless this can be an effective way of obtaining rare cards, and may be a desirable option when disenchanting unwanted cards.
Since players can only have 2 of any card in a deck (and only 1 of each legendary card), disenchanting duplicate cards above this limit may be considered to have no true cost to the player. The 'mass disenchant' option allows players to automatically disenchant all duplicate cards in their collection.
The only limitation to crafting lies in the required amount of Arcane Dust. While it is not possible to purchase Dust directly, all cards obtained through card packs can be disenchanted.
