Going into the imminent release of March of the Lich King (December 6), Hearthstone's in-game shop has just a little something left for each available mode. Let's go through all the offers that are up at the moment, for we certainly won't get a proper chance to catch up again until the busy expansion launch period is well behind us.
Runestones
Hearthstone has a new currency that can be used to buy everything available in the in-game shop. If you want a reminder 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.
Constructed Offers
March of the Lich King Pre-Purchase Bundles
Pre-orders for March of the Lich King: The Mega version (8000 Runestones/$79.99) and the Standard version (5000 Runestones/$49.99). These will still remain available for an extra week after the new expansion launches December 6th - a notable change from how it's always been in the past.
- The Mega version (8000 Runestones/$79.99) includes 80 packs, 5 signature golden packs, 2 random Signature Legendary cards from the new expansion, Lor'themar Hunter Hero skin and card back, and Path of Arthas Set.
- The Standard version (5000 Runestones/$49.99) includes 60 packs, 2 random Legendary cards from the new expansion, and Lor'themar card back.
You can read more about Signature Cards here, and we've described Path of Arthas in our expansion overview. If you're not grabbing the Mega Bundle for yourself, then better make sure to save up either 2000 Gold or 1500 Runestones for the separate purchase of those extra 26 Death Knight class cards! Unless you plan to craft them all with arcane dust.
Arthas Menethil Pre-Purchase Bundle
Arthas Menethil bundle with a 3D modeled Legendary Death Knight skin and 5 DK Class packs (2500 Runestones or $24.99) has been available for pre-purchase since November 8, and we actually knew it was coming well before that. Even if somebody has already bought the product, the contents of this package remain not usable until the Death Knight class unlocks with the release of March of the Lich King on December 6.
But there is no real rush here, anyway. This particular bundle is meant to stick around for a longer while, also throughout the entirety of the upcoming Patch 25.0. Which should mean either for most of December or more likely until early January.
Death Knight is yet to be released, but the class is already a frontrunner when it comes to cosmetics. Just as we mentioned above, Death Knight is the first class to receive a Legendary Hero Skin - the Arthas Menethil Bundle contains a fully animated Arthas portrait, as well as 5 Death Knight class packs (which, of course, you won't be able to open until March of the Lich King goes live on December 6th).
In case you're curious, a Legendary Hero Skin consists of:
- A fully 3D animated portrait that responds to in-game actions with special animations (such as attacking, playing minions, casting spells and emoting).
- A unique hero tray, more gilded than ever before.
- New voicelines.

Pack & Hero Skin Bundles
The two other remaining Constructed bundles aren't strictly new, but still sticking around since last week: namely the special late Hallow's End packages for Mage and Shaman, both costing 1000 Runestones ($9.99) and containing 5 Class packs in addition to their thematic hero skin.
Battlegrounds Offers
Battlegrounds' discounted items are a thing of the past now, and instead we have a special hero skin that's more expensive than usual with Greatfather Lich King. The cost of 300 Runestones (~$2.99) is due to it being a legendary skin with animated portrait, voice over, and visual effects.
Additionally, Bob has some personalized offers Just for You, ranging from old Bartenders for 500 Runestones ($4.99) to old Battlegrounds skins with 100 Runestones (~$0.99) each.
The paid Season Pass still remains as well, costing you 1500 Runestones or the equivalent amount of real money ($14.99). The next Battlegrounds Season is expected to arrive along with Patch 25.2, which might be somewhere in early January 2023.
Mercenaries Offers
The Rattlegore bundles are no longer available, but they were replaced by two new bundles available for all: Legendary Portrait Bundle and New Merc Coin Purse. The former comes with two portraits for Legendary Mercenaries as well as 15 Mercenaries packs, while the latter consists of 3x 300 Coins for random new Mercenaries (released between Patches 24.4 and 25.0 - you can view them here). The portrait bundle comes with a price tag of 2000 Runestones ($19.99) while the coin bundle costs half of that, 1000 Runestones ($9.99).
Additionally, there are three partially personalized offers available for different random Mercenaries of Epic/Legendary quality or their portraits - which character shows up where seems to vary per player, while the contents of each bundle tend to be similar. We have seen several variations, probably influenced by an individual's spending power and collection, ranging from 1000 Runestone ($9.99) Coin bundles to 3000 Runestone ($29.99) Mega pack bundles.
Are you planning on pre-ordering either of the expansion bundles with only so much time remaining? Anything else that catches your eye? Let us know in the comments below!
