Hearthstone Mercenaries Patch Notes 24.6

Patch 24.6 of Hearthstone brings a number of changes to Hearthstone Mercenaries including a new Renown System, a Task System Rework, and a limited-time event that can get you a new Merc: Rattlegore.

Here's the patch notes 24.6 for Hearthstone Mercenaries:

New Renown System

With Patch 24.6, you’ll be able to convert your excess coins into Renown. Daily Tasks are being reworked (discussed below) and, in their place at the Campfire, you’ll receive a selection of offers to exchange Renown for Coins for a Mercenary you own, but haven’t yet Maxed.

The conversion rates from excess coins to Renown are as follows:

• 10 Rare Coins = 1 Renown
• 5 Epic Coins = 1 Renown
• 2 Legendary Coins = 1 Renown
  

The conversion rates to then exchange Renown for Coins from Mercs you haven’t Maxed are as follows:

• 100 Renown = 50 Rare Coins
• 150 Renown = 50 Epic Coins
• 250 Renown = 50 Legendary Coins
  

In the future, this system will be updated to incorporate Renown into the upcoming end-game system. More information will be shared about that update at a later time.

Task System Rework

All Task chains are now available whenever you want! Active Task chains are those for the Mercs that are in your Party at that time, so you can work on up to six Task chains at a time, and you can switch those Task chains up just by switching up your Party. This means players can easily select exactly which Task chains they want to work on, and efficiently clear their Tasks in a way that makes sense for them!

In addition to all the Tasks for all Mercs, there will also be extra miscellaneous Tasks mixed in with the daily Renown exchange offerings, so you will still get opportunities to grow even after completing all the main Task chains. Finally, as the Mysterious Stranger’s job is now done, they will no longer appear in mystery nodes—they will be replaced by the Cursed Treasure node.

New Limited-Time Event: Rattlegore

RATTLEGORE! Rattlegore has escaped and is making its way to terrorize your Village, starting on November 1. The event will consist of 10 special Tasks, centered around Rattlegore. Two new event tasks will be unlocked on each of the first five days of the event, but you have until November 29 to complete all 10 Tasks. Completing all 10 Tasks will get you the Rattlegore Mercenary, two random Golden Rattlegore Portraits, and 700 Mercenaries Coins! Orcs, Beast, and Demons will be helpful in completing this special event.
