Reward Track & Tavern Pass

For the first time in Hearthstone's history, Hearthstone's progression system is being changed!
Here is everything revealed that you need to know so far.

Progression System Summary

• Launches on November 12, alongside Achievements!
• The Reward Track is the name of the new progression system.
• In addition to awarding gold, you will be able to earn other rewards such as card packs from Standard, tavern tickets, legendary cards and more!
• Quests no longer offer gold, but award experience points (XP) that will be used in the Reward Track.
• In addition to Daily Quests, Weekly Quests are being added!
• Every expansion will feature a brand new Rewards Track, so you have about 4 months to complete all 50 levels. 
• After completing all 50 levels, every level earned afterwards will award 150 gold instead.
• A paid version of the Rewards Track, called the Tavern Pass, will be present. While sharing the same leveling system, it will feature its own rewards on top of the Rewards Track and provide a permanent +10% XP boost for future experience points.
• Rewards from the Tavern Pass will only award cosmetic items. All gold and card packs earned will be from the Rewards Track.

Progression - Earning EXP

Every new expansion will bring with it a new Reward Track that consists of 50 levels of rewards.

Currently, there are 3 main ways of earning XP points on the Reward Pass:

• Playing the game in any mode.
  This include Battlegrounds, Arena and the new Duels mode!
  
  
• Completing select achievements in the new Achievements System.
  New achievements will be added with every expansion, future game modes and every major update.
  
  
• Completing Daily and Weekly Quests.
  Every week, you'll be given 3 weekly quests. While these quests take more time than daily quests, in turn, they award more XP as well. Like daily quests, one weekly quest can be rotated for another weekly quest daily.

Do note that XP values in the above image are not final!

Rewards

When designing the Reward Track, Blizzard has designed it in such a way where there is more flexibility in earning rewards. This in turn allows them to offer a wider variety of rewards to offer to the player-base.

Here are the rewards that we currently know so far from the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Reward Track! Once the full Reward Track is released, this list will be updated accordingly.

Reward Track

• Gold, gold and more gold!
• Card Packs from sets in Standard.
• Tavern Tickets that grant access to either Arena or Duels.
• 1 Epic Card, awarded at level 5.
• 2 Legendary Cards, awarded at levels 1 and 25.
• "Madness at the Darkmoon Faire" Card Back, awarded at level 10.
• A choice of Hero Skin from every class, awarded at level 50.
• After level 50, every level gained will reward the player with 150 gold.

Tavern Pass

So far, the Tavern Pass seems to offer only cosmetic items. Thus, other than the +10% XP boost helping the player to level up, all card packs and gold rewards are relegated to the Reward Track.

• +10% EXP Boost for the duration of the expansion.
• Golden Silas Darkmoon, awarded at level 1.
• Three Jaina Hero Skins, of which two are awarded at levels 5 and 20.
• Annhylde Alternate Warrior Hero and Card Back, awarded at level 25.
• Three Thrall Hero Skins, of which two are are awarded at levels 30 and 45.
• Darkmoon Coin, a Cosmetic Coin awarded at Level 50.
