Into the Emerald Dream expansion is releasing next week, and just like every set, it will come with a rewards track refresh. On March 25, all players will be reset to Level 1 and start earning new rewards as they climb back up. Here’s a quick summary:
After having some changes in The Great Dark Beyond (to compensate for Blizzard reverting back to the old, worse version of Weekly Quests), the free rewards track remains pretty much the same in Into the Emerald Dream. The total number of reward is the same – we’re just getting packs/cards from the new expansion instead. Also we have a bit of a weird swap – instead of getting a specific Legendary on Level 1, we’re getting a random Legendary Wild God. Instead, Naralex, Herald of the Flights (this expansion’s uncraftable Legendary) is at level 20. I’m not sure what was the reason for this change, maybe they wanted players to play with Wild Gods first.
The paid rewards track is also largely the same as last expansion, but it had a small downgrade. Last time we had 4x Signature Epics and 2x Signature Rares. This time we have 2x Signature Epics, 2x Signature Rares and 2x Signature Commons. Which means that two Epics were swapped for Commons. However, it’s important to say that those have been changing over expansions – sometimes we had 4x Epic and sometimes we had 2x, so there’s not necessarily a consistent pattern here. Still, I thought it was worth calling out.
This expansion’s free Legendary every player gets at Level 1 is (as I’ve already mentioned)… a random Legendary Wild God. Instead, the usual free uncraftable Legendary – Naralex, Herald of the Flights – is at level 20.
Tavern Pass has a single new Diamond card – Ysera, Emerald Aspect at Tavern Pass Level 2. It’s a card every player already got for free, which is bad, because previously the free Diamond gave players +1 Legendary card early. For collecting all Legendary cards from the expansion, players are getting two Signature cards – Critter Caretaker and Creature of Madness (which is, again, another downgrade – we’re getting two Commons, last time we had an Epic and a Common, and before that we had even higher rarities). We also have two new cosmetic coins in the expansion – Overgrown Coin (Tavern Pass Level 90) and The Nightmare Coin (Owning 145 expansion cards). Keep in mind that progressing those achievements will be easier when mini-set releases because the requirements for cosmetics don’t upgrade (but the pool of cards grows so it’s easier to get them).
We’re about to drift off Into the Emerald Dream, where a new Rewards Track awaits! When the Rewards Track refreshes with the launch of Into the Emerald Dream, all players will automatically be granted any unclaimed rewards on the current free Rewards Track and the Tavern Pass track (if acquired), before a completely new Into the Emerald Dream Rewards Track takes its place.
Into the Emerald Dream Rewards Track
The free Rewards Track for Into the Emerald Dream will include a random Epic card, two random Legendary cards, Tavern Tickets, and lots of Gold and Packs! There are also 14 Golden cards and the Naralex, Herald of the Flights Legendary card from the set!*
* These 14 Golden cards (two copies of each of 7 cards from the set) and the Naralex, Herald of the Flights Legendary card earned on the Rewards Track can’t be crafted or disenchanted.

With the launch of Into the Emerald Dream, a new Tavern Pass will be available, featuring dreamy new cosmetic rewards, XP Boosts, and expansion packs!
Getting the Tavern Pass at any time will immediately get you a 10% Boost that lasts the rest of the duration of the expansion, plus all items up to your current level on the paid track. As your progress along the Tavern Pass during the Into the Emerald Dream expansion, you can earn: additional XP Boosts; the Ysera, Emerald Aspect Diamond Legendary card; the Xavius and Naralex Herald of the Flights Golden Legendary cards; 2 Treacherous Tormentor Golden Epic cards; 2 Ancient of Yore Signature Epic cards; 2 Hopeful Dryad Signature Rare cards; 2 Tranquil Treant Signature Common cards; a new cosmetic coin and card back; 11 new Hero Skins; 2 Golden Standard Packs; and 4 Into the Emerald Dream Packs!*
* All Tavern Pass card grants are unable to be crafted or disenchanted.
Signature Card Achievement Awards
Progress along the Legendary Collector Achievement to get two copies of each of these Signature cards of your dreams—or nightmares!
New Cosmetic Coins
Two new cosmetic coins will be added with Into the Emerald Dream: the Overgrown Coin and the Nightmare Coin. The Overgrown Coin is earned by reaching level 90 on the Rewards Track with the Tavern Pass. The Nightmare Coin is earned by completing the Achievement for having 145 Into the Emerald Dream cards.
Into the Emerald Dream will have a Mini-Set, coming in Patch 32.2, that will make it easier to complete the collection-based Achievements. We’ll share more information about that Mini-Set before it goes live. In the meantime, check out the 32.0 Patch Notes for more information about everything else coming soon!
