With this past week's introduction of the rewards track and achievements, life has been completely changed in Hearthstone. Get ready to have your world turned upside down again because if you want to really maximize your value early on, you're going to want to spend the next couple of days working on those Darkmoon Faire achievements without owning any of the cards.

Thanks to Alleria for putting together a thread on our forums to discuss these.

The Achievements

There are only a few of these achievements that can be earned early. Interestingly though, they do not need to be completed by the class that they belong to.

Ride Together, Die Together (Hunter)

This achievement requires that you control 3 Deathrattle minions, all of which are identical.

Do you want to do this the easy way? Toxic Reinforcements from Galakrond's Awakening is here to save the day! Completing this sidequest easily will result in 200 XP added to your rewards track.

An alternative way to complete this is to get two of the same Deathrattle minions on the field and cloning them. Faceless Manipulator would be an easy way to knock this one out too.

MisterFerro completed the achievement using Gift of Luminance on his 2nd Leper Gnome.

How were you really supposed to do this? Blizzard is expecting you to use Jewel of N'Zoth.

Two Punch Man (Shaman)

No one is powerful enough to fight the One Punch Man, but Blizzard figures we can at least get the job done with two.

You're supposed to complete this achievement by using the new Shaman Legendary, Inara Stormcrash, but no one has the time to wait for her or the budget for that.

Making use of Doomhammer for that sweet Windfury buff will get us there with a simple double cast of Rockbiter Weapon.

For a non-Shaman take, buff up your Demon Hunter attack and slam! No matter how you complete this, 200 XP is yours from the achievement.

Lothraxion's Balloon Shop (Paladin)

This achievement is really easy if you pick up a copy of Balloon Merchant during Darkmoon Faire, but we're impatient and want those rewards now.

There isn't anything special with this one. Summon some dudes through your Hero Power, Lost in the Jungle, Muster for Battle, or the other seemingly infinite Paladin cards which summon them, and then follow it up with a card that can grant them Divine Shield. Purifier's Maul (via Unidentified Maul) makes quick work of the achievement and could easily net you a handful of progression in each game provided RNG is in your favor. If it isn't, you can always make use of Steward of Darkshire.

There are three achievements in this series, so if you end up summoning 100 Silverhand Recruits and give them all Divine Shield, you'll end up with a total of 700 XP in that reward track.

Wheel of Misfortune & Yogg Take the Wheel

We're into the Neutral side of achievements now from the Darkmoon Faire and you're going to need to pray to the RNG gods even more than usual to get this one.

First, you're going to need to make yourself a deck in Hearthstone Duels, the new game mode that debuted ahead of Madness at the Darkmoon Faire. In here, we're looking for loot that will give us Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate. You'll want to start your game with heavy use of spells to try and influence the buckets that will contain this beautiful many-mouthed deity (Mage is recommended).

You'll then just need to spin the wheel and hope for the best.

Of course, in just a couple of days, you can complete these achievements as a F2P player once you've opened your packs, so this is all just a bit silly.

Good luck with grinding that experience!
