Another shop update dropped today! And it’s pretty much as small as it gets – we only got a single returning Hero skin. It’s kind of weird, I don’t remember the last time we had such a tiny update – normally it’s either nothing or at least a few more items. Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:
- Alterac Thrall (1000 Gold or $7) – Returning Tier 2 Shaman skin. Originally available from the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire paid rewards track (Tavern Pass).
Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, and some extra visual effects. Some of those might be also included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (the only one is Legendary with 3D animated portraits).
New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
