Blizzard has given us more information on the Saviors of Uldum solo content, the Tombs of Terror!
- A pre-order is available which gives you a the League of Explorers card back and a random Uldum legendary.
- The first chapter is free with additional chapters coming in at 700 Gold or $7 USD each.
- Buy everything for $15 (after launch) without the pre-order goodies.
- There are four chapters, each with a "Plague Lord" final boss. Those bosses have large amounts of Health.
- Defeating all the chapters unlocks "the finale". No word on what that is... yet.
- Each of the explorers are dual-class heroes, building decks with cards from both classes.
- You'll be able to unlock hero-specific signature treasures as you play through the adventure.
- A favourite from Dalaran Heist, the tavern for deck modifications has returned.
- Twists have also returned.
- You'll earn card packs by completing wings in the adventure (15 packs) and a card back & Golden Classic Pack at the end of Normal.
- Earn a special card back for completing the adventure on Heroic!
- The solo content releases on September 17.
Tombs of Terror Chapter Release Schedule & Pricing
Here is the release schedule for Tombs of Terror.
- September 17 - Chapter 1 & 2
- September 24 - Chapter 3
- October 1 - Chapter 4 & Finale
The pre-order is available for $20 USD which includes all the content. It will be available for less (not sure how much) after it has been released but it will not include the card back or random Uldum legendary card.
Individual chapters can be purchased for 700 gold each or $7 USD. Buying the whole adventure after the pre-order period is only $15 but you don't get the pre-order extras.
Explorer Class Combinations
Each explorer is dual-classed for the Tombs of Terror which means you get to build a deck with both of their classes!
- Reno Jackson - Mage & Rogue
- Elise Starseeker - Druid & Priest
- Brann Bronzebeard - Hunter & Warrior
- Sir Finley - Paladin & Shaman
Plague Lords
Plague Lords are the final bosses of each chapter.
- A high health pool makes them a larger than normal challenge. (Example in video was 300)
- If you aren't able to kill a plague lord, their health will stay the same the next time you fight them, allowing progression over multiple runs.
- The Plague Lords are made up of the Plagues of Uldum. A boss made out of murlocs!
Signature Treasures
In addition to choosing a starting deck and hero power, you'll also get to choose a Signature Treasure.
- Each explorer has their own signature treasure.
- The treasures are unlocked by playing the new content.
- It looks like every hero has 6 signature treasures, with Reno starting off with Reno's Lucky Hat.

Comments
Do u have all the legendary from the set? Maybe this is the problem.
I wish, could never spend enough to get that though
Yes.
Shop page has image, it's 15 regular pack (3 per wing) and 1 golden for completing. 16 total, not 16 regular plus golden.
Also, this time no free golden leg, eh. And only 4 classes, you could say it's dual classes, but no, it's 4 with large card pools for bucets, pretty bad.
Plus, i hate grinding thing with 300 hp pool, i want complete run not grind boss 5-8 times, yes, it's possible kill 300 hp boss in 1 run, but it's not fair.
I like how Warlock isn't on the dual classes. A nice way to show the League of Explorers opposition to Arch-Villain Rafaam.
you mention that we get 16 packs, how many packs is that per wing? by that I mean, how many wings are there?
I would guess 5 wings 3 packs per wing plus the extra golden one. but I would like someone to confirm.
also, will it cost 700 gold like last time? or have they reduced the cost since last time?
The store page says "Earn 3 Savior of Uldum Packs by playing through each chapter, and a Golden Classic Pack when you conquer them all." So I think that counts as confirmed.
There are 4 chapters and a finale, so 5 wings in total, although I don't know if the finale is a full wing. The finale unlocks at the same time as chapter 4, so it might be that you automatically get the finale if you finish all the chapters and don't need to unlock it, but that's just speculation. If it's true and the first chapter is free as usual, there would be only 3 chapters to unlock with money or gold.
they said that you can buy it for a reduced price ones the adventure released,but you won't get the cardback and legendary
So you pay about 4 bucks for a cardback and a random legendary, right?
Not worth the extra cost in my opinion.
4 dollars are 2-3 packs or 250 dust. Getting a legendary is totally worth it
Not if you have about 65.000 dust like me.
"Each of the 4 explorers are dual-class heroes"
The first thing I thought of when I heard this is that all custom classes who chose the good side in RoS will have to be dual-classed with Warlock (as Warlock is the only class that isn't part of the 4 explorers at all).
Any news on the in-game gold price per wing?
On Blizz website its confirmed to be 700 per wing, and 15$ usd upon release for all
Where did you see this on their site?
Nvm, its in their Fireside Gathering post.
Safe to assume 700 since that's been the standard forever.
