Rewards Track

Rewards Track is a system that allows the player to earn various rewards in Hearthstone by earning XP and leveling up. Rewards Track resets every time a new expansion is released.

Rewards Track was added in the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire patch, along with new items associated to Rewards Track, XP Boost and Tavern Pass. To allow the player to earn XP, The Quest system is also revamped at the same patch, which makes the new Daily quests award XP instead of gold, and adds the Weekly quests.

Rewards Track can be viewed by clicking on Journal icon at the menu screen, and then the XP (or scroll) icon  at the Journal's navigation bar.

XP Boost
XP Boost is an item that increases the amount of XP from any reward sources, even the achievements.

XP Boost can be only obtained by purchasing Tavern Pass. XP Boost can also be increased by leveling up Rewards Track.

XP Boost starts at the increment percentage of 10%. After reaching certain levels, the percentage is increased by 5%, making the maximum percentage of XP Boost being 20%.

Reward structure

 * Levels - Rewards Track consists of hundreds of levels. Each level requires a certain amount of XP, but also has an one-time reward for the player, as long as they reach that level. Rewards Track has two main structures: Free Track and Paid Track. Both tracks use the same level progress of the player.
 * Functionality - The system will remark the reward with a blue glow to inform the player that it can be claimed. Then, the player needs to click or tap on it to confirm and claim it. If there is no blue glow, the player is still able to click or tap on it, but to view details of the reward. The player does not have to do this once they reach the bonus levels.
 * The system allows the player to view 5 levels at once and will mark the current level's range as default view. To navigate the adjacent sides of Rewards Track, the player needs to click on the arrow icons at the bottom of scene. Using wheels or swiping on mobile device does not work.
 * Resets Next Expansion - Rewards Track refreshes the player's current progress after an expansion is released. However, all the rewards will also be replaced with new ones, allowing the player to reach the levels again to get the new resources. All players will automatically be granted any unclaimed rewards in the old track if they have not done so.

Free Track
Free Track is located below the dashed line. It is available for free to all players.

Free Track is the only part which rewards the core in-game currencies of Hearthstone: gold, packs, cards and Tavern Tickets. Some levels of Free Track can also reward the player comestic items (a card back or a Hero skin of choice of 10).

Paid Track and Tavern Pass
Paid Track is located above the dashed line. It is not available to players and can only be unlocked by purchasing the Tavern Pass, which costs real money.

Paid Track only rewards comestic items, such as Alternate hero(es), card backs and cosmetic coins. Paid Track can also reward the player an XP Boost to help the player level up faster.

Since both Free and Paid Tracks use the same level progress, if the player is in the middle of a certain level, after purchasing Tavern Pass, the player will be able to claim all previous levels' Paid Track rewards immediately.
