Hearthstome's Fire Festival is returning tomorrow, July 10, and features plenty of great in-game content. In addition to fun in-game, taking part in Tavern Brawls is going to unlock card reveals!
- The Fire Festival runs from July 10 to 31.
- There are three new Tavern Brawls taking place - Blackrock Crash Week 1, Blackrock Crash Week 2, and The Burndown.
- Defeating 25 million bosses in Tavern Brawls will get us FOUR card reveals for Saviors of Uldum.
- The cards come out at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% completion of the 25 million boss goal.
- In addition to daily quests, each day for the first 7 days of the Fire Festival gives you a legendary quest. (Datamined quest details here)
- Make sure you have room in your quest log before July 10, legendary quests will overwrite any dailies you may have.
Quote From Blizzard Anyone attempting to navigate a rocket-propelled capital city full of megalomaniacal super-villains across a continent rife with mountains, monsters, and magic can expect to encounter a few minor hiccups. Crashing the entire floating city into Blackrock Mountain during Ragnaros’ Fire Festival wasn’t planned, but when life hands them lava, the League of E.V.I.L. gets creative.
Move over Ragnaros, it’s time for the… FIRE FEST-E.V.I.L.!
Join the Festivities
The fiery festivities will last a total of three weeks, starting at 10:00 AM PT on July 10 and ending at 9:00 AM PT on July 31. During this time, you’ll be able to participate in the following evil activities:

Legendary Quests
A new Legendary Fire Fest-E.V.I.L. quest* will be unlocked each day for the first 7 days of the event in addition to your normal daily quests. These new quests will reward you with either a card pack from one of the current standard sets, or a hefty sum of Gold!
These quests will only be granted up to the conclusion of the event on July 31.
* Legendary quests will replace an existing normal quest if your quest log is full, so we recommend that you have a spot open when this event goes live.

Are the Fire FestEVIL legendary quests over as of today?
I have beaten it in 30:13. Got a card back and both golden cards, nice!
Basically, use either Rogue or Warrior. Priest and Shaman are useless.
As an added bonus, I wont have to reroll any warrior quests until this is over lol.
Am I a bad person for hating that they brought back a fairly awesome old school cardback that now literally everyone owns?
29 minutes with Dr. Boom, it was so easy due to OP hero power.
So if you finish the run before 1 hour, you get gold Bronze Herald; if you finish under 40 minutes, you get gold Recurring Villain , just to leave it here
I wonder if those particular cards are a hint towards the overarching plot of this year: a recurring villain and a dragon, plus Nefarian saying "I'll be back" when you defeat him in the brawl...
Do we get them every time we finish a run in under 60/40 minutes or just the first time? Because in the announcement it says: "All completed runs will be timed with rewards based on how quickly you make it to the top of the mountain."
I'd like to know this as well.
Did it in 23 minutes 01 seconds on first try. Warrior is easy af.
Does anyone know, when does the fireside festival start in EU?
7 or 9 p.m.?
I like this new take on the brawlventures. Glad they are trying new things.
So, should we be leaving two quest slots open tonight? Or just one?
Extra loot incoming! Awesome.
Keep 2 old quests (if you have them - they announced with little notice to hold a few) so you can re-roll them over the next 2 days to get legendary quests.
** EDIT ** I think you get an extra quest tomorrow, too. Don't quote me on this but I do believe last year I got a quest at the reset time (12 AM Pacific) and then later in the day when the Fire Festival launched another new quest dropped.
Does rerolling a legendary quest result in a different legendary quest or just a normal one?
As the explained some time ago, a normal one
Blizzard isn't missing a single shot this year! Well Played!
I'd have preferred double gold for our quests, but this is next best thing. More content to spice things up before the expansion as well as some free packs. Good idea on Team 5's part.
Double gold really would have been better... oh well...
Yep agree - would have been pretty handy saving for new expac. Still not gonna complain about free stuff and a change of pace.
