The second week of the Forbidden Library event begins later today! We've got the first part of a new 10-part adventure, the Book of Heroes, and a new hero in the shop. Read on for more details!
You can find a full schedule of the Forbidden Library events here.
The Book of Heroes Adventure
The Book of Heroes is a new adventure launching today that aims to tell the tales of our basic Hearthstone heroes.
- Jaina Proudmoore is the first Hero available in the adventure.
- Additional Heroes will be added to the game over the next year.
- Upon completion of the wing, you will earn a card pack dedicated to that specific class. (Earnable once)
If you want to see what is in store for you in the adventure, we've datamined it here.
Scholar Jaina Available in the Shop - 1 Week Only!
The same Scholar Jaina from the Book of Heroes adventure is going to be available in the shop.
- Available for $9.99 USD (9.99 EUR).
- You can only purchase Scholar Jaina for the next week.
- She does not have unique voicelines but instead uses the default Mage ones.
The bundle includes Scholar Jaina's Hero and 5 Standard Mage packs.
Comments
It's Week 1 of the adventure, but Week 2 of the Forbidden Library event (which is just a few weeks of special events). That confused me at first too!
Honestly the Jaina skin and bundle would be worth more if there was a guaranteed legendary card in the bundle.
As such, this bundle's hardly enticing to whales who've already bought packs or crafted the legendaries for their collections, and FTP players have less chances to get the cards needed for the competitive decks on the ladder.
Also no unique voicelines for this purchasable skin? c'mon Blizzard, you're just being cheap
My guess is because it’s the same person (Jaina). So lame..
yeah but it's the same person in different periods of their lives.
I'm very sure academic student Jaina isn't as angry as "my freaking town got blown up by Garrosh" Jaina
Certainly true, but the default Jaina emotes are already friendly and use simple language, as you might expect young Jaina to use. The only emote she has that has any hint of anger or darkness to it is her threaten, but unless young Jaina has a low confidence, almost apologetic threaten, I don't see why hers wouldn't be angry too.
That is not to say I wouldn't like new emotes, but her existing ones would work just fine if it wasn't for the fact we already have them.
Edit: since she does have new voice lines in the adventure, it just became a little harder to defend...
A shame that the bundle up for offer are mage packs. Had that been scholomance packs at a good price it would've been a no brainer. But much like Jaina's covered up jigglies we just can't have nice things can we?
triple "B" means Bring Back the Boobs!
Middle Jaina is the best one!
Nope all 3 suck... The jaina before boob nerf was the best one...
I wonder if this explains this strangeness that happened to me earlier:
Edit: ah looks like related to https://outof.cards/hearthstone/587-new-hearthstone-currencies-possibly-coming-arcane-orbs-runestones instead and others have seen similar on reddit for some time now occasionally.
Really looking forward to these even with already knowing the lore. Can't remember what the timeline is between one to the next but hopefully it's not the gaps between each expansions because that will take forever to get through all of them.
They said they'd all be done in 12 months, which I assume means one each month, possibly except expansion release months to stretch 10 classes across a year. So it won't take forever, though I'm sure it'll feel slow if there's one your'e particularly interested in and it comes towards the end.
Having monthly special adventures is something I'd definitely enjoy! At this point I've read most of heroes histories, but having some Hearthstone-Lore parts is needed.
that middle portrait is what we deserve for our money, not that goofy sh*t!
Especially considering that's what you play with beyond the first encounter.
Doesn't even seem to be the same person.
Face different esp. chin.
Seems some, ahem, physical enhancement was carried out. Unfortunately that likely was reason for present day Jania got nerfed.
Are you talking about the portrait we're getting? If so then I agree. Not even the same person.
I still hate that they covered up her cleavage. Not because i'm a perv who likes to look at that but because people were actually bothered by it. I don't know if I said this on here or not but it's crazy that as a society we are ok with violence but a little cleavage needs to be covered up. This is a game based on a very violent video game. If you can't handle cleavage you shouldn't be playing these games.
If my boy Cave Hydra can have cleavage, then Jaina should too!
Prepare your $9.99 for the bundle.
