The updates to Hearthstone's shop continue with a bunch of new bundles across various gameplay modes, as usual.
Runestones
As a reminder, Hearthstone has got a new currency that can be used to buy everything available in the in-game shop. If you want to learn more about their pricing, check out the table below.
You can find monetary conversions of the Runestones to selected currencies below:
| Runestones | USD/EUR | CAD | GBP | JPY |
| 500 | 4.99 | 6.25 | 3.99 | 610 |
| 1000 | 9.99 | 12.49 | 8.99 | 1220 |
| 1500 | 14.99 | 18.99 | 12.99 | 1840 |
| 2000 | 19.99 | 24.99 | 16.99 | 2440 |
| 5000 | 49.99 | 62.99 | 44.99 | 6100 |
| 8000 | 79.99 | 99.99 | 69.99 | 10000 |
As you may have noticed, the biggest bundles aren't actually the cheapest option to obtain Runestones. While the prices of USD/EUR bundles aren't radically different, in GBP you'd be losing a relatively high amount of money if you bought anything but the cheapest bundle. We've bolded the best deals in each currency in the table above for your convenience.
Pack Bundles
Nothing new in the world of pack bundles, so we've put the same stuff as last week within the dropdown section below:
- Regular Mini-Set - 1500 Runestones ($14.98) or 2000 gold
- Golden Mini-Set - 7000 Runestones or $69.99
In fact, all of the Standard Mini-Sets are available for the time being.
The Wild bundles from the last three weeks were replaced by new personalized pack deals, Tavern Special and Bob's Bargain. We've encountered the following deals for the respective bundles:
Tavern Special
- 2 random legendaries and 20 Murder at Castle Nathria packs: 2000 Runestones ($19.99)
- 3 random legendaries and 90 Wild packs: 6000 Runestones ($59.98)
Bob's Bargain
- 2 random legendaries and 25 Wild packs: 2000 Runestones ($19.99)
- 3 random legendaries and 75 Standard packs: 6000 Runestones ($59.98)
Additionally, the Golden packs for all Standard expansions still remain in the shop. The pricing for all deals is naturally the same, and the packs are purchasable with either Runestones or real money:
- 5 Packs - 2000 Runestones or $19.99
- 11 Packs - 4000 Runestones or $39.99
- 23 Packs - 8000 Runestones or $79.99
- 30 Packs - 10000 Runestones or $99.99
Constructed Skin Bundles
The cooking-related skin bundles continued with yet another two new ones hitting the shop. The oldest of the bundles, Cookin' & Bakin' Bundle, still remains. It contains hero skins for Hunter (Brann) and Mage (Reno), as well as 5 Class packs for each aforementioned class, and a special card back. The whole thing comes with a price tag of 2500 Runestones ($24.98).
Carnivore Warriors Bundle has similar contents for Paladin (Uther) and Warrior (Garrosh), minus the card back. Therefore the bundle is a bit cheaper, priced at 2000 Runestones ($19.99). The second bundle from last week, Fishy Finley, has a new Finley skin for the righteous class, as well as 5 Paladin packs. The price, as could be expected, is half of that of the bundle above, 1000 Runestones ($9.99).
The two brand new bundles follow the same pricing scheme as the bundles above. Refined Tastes Bundle comes with new Anduin and Elise skins as well as 5 Class packs for Priest and Druid for 2000 Runestones ($19.99). Noodle Nemsy Bundle comes with yet another skin for everyone's favorite Warlock, as well as 5 Class packs, for 1000 Runestones ($9.99).
Battlegrounds Offers
Battlegrounds got several shop updates this week, with the general one being a new Legendary Board Murloc Hideaway for 2000 Runestones ($19.99). You might recall this particular offer as already specifically announced and previewed along with the patch notes when the newest Mini-Set entered the courtroom two weeks ago.
Additionally, everyone seems to have gotten two "Just for You" offers, one being a random item (e.g. Strike for 300 Runestones or Bartender for 500 Runestones) and the second one a selection of four older Hero skins, each sold separately for 100 Runestones (~$1.00). Here are some example skins we've encountered:
The Murlocized bundle still remains, including a Murloc Bob bartender and Murloc-themed skins for Overlord Saurfang, Queen Wagtoggle, Shudderwock, and King Mukla. The bundle will cost you 1000 Runestones ($9.99).
The paid Season Pass also remains available with 1500 Runestones or the equivalent amount of real money ($14.99).
Mercenaries Bundles
The novelty for Mercs this week were two new portrait bundles for Murloc Holmes and Ysera. The former consist of TWO portraits and 10 Mercenaries packs, while the latter has only one portrait and 8 packs. The prices of these additions are 2500 Runestones ($24.98) and 1500 Runestones ($14.99), respectively.
The two bundles from last week are also available for another week. Grave Trolls Bundle contains Bwonsamdi and Korrak the Bloodrager Mercenaries and 150 coins for each, as well as 10 Mercenaries packs for 3000 Runestones ($29.98). Emerald Dream Bundle for Ysera comes with 10 packs and 150 coins alongside the Mercenary itself with a price tag of 2000 Runestones ($19.99).

Comments
I'm curious if this singled out Nemsy will be one of the least purchased bundles ever. Skin is not that great and the community is really vocal about Nemsy oversaturation (heh, food).
I would be curious as well because this nemsy skin is probably the best one since the original. Not that that's a high bar mind you.
Its not really about nemsy to me. Seems like blizz is pushing cosmetics to a frankly ridiculous degree, devaluing them quite a good deal. But I suppose if they persist in doing it then these must be selling to some level. I mean, there must be some crazed fan base out there with a penchant for warlock gnomes with green gossamers I guess.
Some heroes even have a special intro animation like the new Mage hero Cookin' Reno. If that one was purchasable standalone, I would seriously consider giving them some extra cash (or runestones).
Is it just me, or are the hero skins generally gone down in quality since they started flooding them?
They still have super high quality ones like Cooking Reno, but the quality has gone down overall because now skins are ranked.
No, I have the same feeling. That is why I think it is a pity that they are still sticking with those portrait bundles instead of offering them standalone as they suggested as a reason for introducing runestones. I firmly believe that they would earn more money if we could cherry pick the hero portraits.
