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.

Agreed. After bleeding 2800 to the single player content, I was really hoping for double gold. Still, at least what they did set up looks really decent
Im looking forward to this!
Very Nice!
This is pretty damn cool! Good job team 5!
Good content+rewards are always welcome.
They crashed Dalaran into black rock mountain lol.
the video is awesome if you didn't watch it yet.. why didn't you?
This looks very great, and the legendary quest appearing next to a normal daily is an interesting way to do it!
So much stuff going on!
This looks awesome, looking forward to it!
Ahg! I hate timed challenges - every time I hear the "Sonic is drowning" music in my head and get freaked out! Also I usually miss the win by a matter of a few mins and then pour on the salt...
Still though that's a great lineup of stuff - love how much more single-player stuff HS is putting out when you want change things up a bit from laddering!
For anyone who's never heard the drowing Sonic music or wants to relive childhood trauma:

This is why you should've stuck with Nintendo. You have nightmares about running out of time. The worst nightmare I have on the NES was my parents finding out I held on to my rental copy of Final Fantasy for 2 weeks, costing them the price of the actual game.
(*whack* Dak you had a Sega as well and you also remember that drowning music. Need to click the link to rememem..)
ABOUT THE ACTUAL TOPIC!
Usually these 'timing' things are set up so that they KNOW the community will complete the whole thing in time. I've only seen a community miss a deadline in the MMO Trickster
I miss that game and I miss my sheep but OMFG those drilling challenges!
In any case, no worries about the timer. Though I can get if it triggers you about that tim
*twitch* TOPIC END!
lucky you, all I hear is the DK 64 minigame timer.
ALL I SEE IS BEAVERS
The trailer is amazing!!
Do we know what do we get if we already have the Ragnaros Cardback?
Usually just a pack instead
We didn't get a thing... But it seems that wanting more is just too much so I won't complain about it
The idea of community quests sounds awesome! I hope that there is some sort of counter or something in game to encourage people to keep trying to complete it. Can't wait for the fire festival. Will be nice to load up on some extra gold before the next expansion.
Agreed on the community quest! Although I would find it hilarious if the community didn't managed to hit all the rewards - we'd just get a video of one of the developers being like "Tough luck assholes, we're not revealing this legendary - in fact we're cutting it from the expansion entirely! Fight harder next time!"
I actually WANT this to happen. This would be so fucking hilarious!
They could give us a second chance, a couple weeks into the new expansion...
