    How come there's no total games played stat? I'd be interested in knowing what my ratio is, though I'm sure it's abysmal.

    I have played HS actively for 6 years now and today I learned that you can just drag your minions to attack with them..

    Posted: 07 Nov 2020 03:48 AM PST

    Mindblowing moment for me. I just randomly thought in middle of game "what if you could drag minions to attack rather than clicking on them and clicking again" and then IT WORKED. This is kind of big deal for me, so much more satisfying to attack like that instead of clicking.

    Guide to Power Leveling your Hearthstone Hero Classes up to 60 for Golden Cards and possible free dust (Work in Progress)

    Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:23 PM PST

    The Wiki on Levels (including rewards): https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Level

    Each hero class has a 'Level' as seen here in the bottom left of the hero portrait along with the XP bar. (Note that with Nov. 12th, you'll have two forms of XP - one for class levels which are just cosmetic, and one is a progression that is taking place of Daily Quests and Weekly Quests and the Reward Track)

    Why Power Level?

    1) There are probably a few achievements tied to this coming in the Nov. 12th update.

    2) You get golden Basic cards. Some can be pretty good and do see play and nice to have in your collection.

    3) Potential free dust with the Hall of Fame rotation. The Hall of Fame this time around is looking to shuffle a few Demon Hunter cards as well as make a few changes to other classes. This can involve sending some Basic cards into the Hall of Fame to replace with something else. Getting Demon Hunter to 60 seems very fruitful because your golden Basic cards will now become Golden Commons and you can disenchant them for free dust.

    How Gaining XP works

    1) Basic Leveling

    • Play a card (3 xp)
    • Kill an enemy minion (3 xp)
    • Kill your opponent (30 xp)
    • Play a game for 3 complete turns (3xp) (note caveat mentioned later - you have to play something)

    And a bit more

    • If a minion spawns another minion, killing the spawns also gives 3 xp. Note that playing the minion spawner will only give one XP per card.

    TLDR; play lots of cards, kill lots of minions, kill the opponent.

    2) Experience is gained everywhere even if you lose

    • From matchmaking to casual to arenas, duels and even solo adventures

    3) Details on Boosting XP

    • Number of turns do not give XP

    • Amount of time (minutes, hours etc.) do not give XP

    • If one player plays normally and gets normal XP, and the other player does absolutely nothing and will get nothing.

    • You can't get more than one Level up per game, excessive XP is saved.

    4) Experience Formulas

    • Each level requires 60 + 10n XP, with n the current level:
    Level Total Experience
    1 70
    2 80
    3 90
    4 100
    5 110
    6 120
    7 130
    8 140
    9 150
    10 160
    11 170
    12 180
    13 190
    14 200
    15 210
    16 220
    17 230
    18 240
    19 250
    20 260
    21 270
    22 280
    23 290
    24 300
    25 310
    26 320
    27 330
    28 340
    29 350
    30 360
    31 370
    32 380
    33 390
    34 400
    35 410
    36 420
    37 430
    38 440
    39 450
    40 460
    41 470
    42 480
    43 490
    44 500
    45 510
    46 520
    47 530
    48 540
    49 550
    50 560
    51 570
    52 580
    53 590
    54 600
    55 610
    56 620
    57 630
    58 640
    59 650
    60 660

    5) Other XP Notes

    • XP from Level 1-5 works differently, as opposed to Level 6-60.

    • Demon Hunter starts at Level 20

    Strategy

    We don't necessarily have to win every game, but being able to play a lot of cards, and destroy a lot of minions is still enough. Ideally we assemble some cards like Echo or Repeatables and minions that spawn more minions, destroy them, and repeat until we hit a threshold and get enough of a level, to then concede.

    The same strategy is probably not going to work for every class, but we can assemble them into two types:

    1) Solo

    We can use solo adventures to our advantage and identify some adventure missions which can be completed quickly and give lots of XP (spawns many minions, play many cards, destroy many cards etc.)

    The decks are probably going change for each class depending on the encounter.

    If you don't have a large enough collection, some adventures like Dungeon Runs can work. Though notably some of the class XP gets weird in Tombs of Terror (e.g. I play Finley, the Shaman and Paladin, and neither seem to be getting XP). The original Kobolds and Catacombs still work.

    I can also identify that in Blackrock Mountain, the Mage class challenge is quite decent. You are playing Unstable Portal multiple times, which counts as playing two cards.

    2) With a buddy

    If a willing buddy (or get a second account and play simultaneously) can let you, you can setup a few nice turns to grab lots of XP.

    Perhaps a Defile Patron setup for Warlocks? The turn will eventually end after some amount of actions, but not before a lot of minions die, and you can setup the Patrons by your opponent to clear many minions.

    3) Get XP as you go along

    The only real 'deadline' is for Hall of Fame 2021, which arrives sometime in early Spring 2021 (not confirmed but follows a trend as seen here). That's approximately ~5 months so you can take it at your leisure and double count and progress other goals while doing this one.

    I imagine there are still people who have some empty XP slots for their classes interested in speeding it up. I have most of my classes (except Mage) at 50, and my DH is at 30.

    Some Tavern Brawls can be pretty good if they have you play lots of cards and then you can both earn XP and perhaps grab wins and the 10 gold per 3 wins.

    I imagine trying to boost XP would be much harder to pull off in rated matchmaking since the competition is much higher. It would probably involve having cards that generate more cards and clearing lots of minions.

    Why Work in Progress

    Much of this research by the community is pretty old, with some dating back to 7 years back in 2013 when the game was in Alpha. I couldn't find more updated information so I wanted to find:

    1) Whether there is an updated guide.

    2) Whether someone took a look at the current collection, both Standard and Wild and saw which ones could be used to boost XP.

    3) Double checking info in case of hotfixes or changes to experience since 2013.

    4) Get some useful info for myself.

    Hello r/hearthstone, I'm a young Game Design student, and I would greately appriciate if you could complete this small survey that I made on Online Card Games. I need the results for a university task, it's completely anonymous and the results won't be published anywhere. Thank you so much for your help!
