- Once the player either retires from Arena, loses 3 games, or wins 12 games, reward chests can be opened, which have a chance of containing gold, with the average return amount increasing with the number of games won during that session. If at least 7 games were won, the player will be rewarded with a minimum of 150 gold (equivalent to the Arena entrance fee).

- Like Arena, gold can be acquired through playing Heroic Tavern Brawl. Be that as it may, the entrance fee of 1000 gold and the high level of difficulty that players will face in Heroic Tavern Brawl does not make this option a viable means to amass gold from.
Spending gold
Gold can be spent in various ways, depending on the player`s interests. Be that as it may, if the intention is to obtain cards, the player should consider the most efficient way to spend their gold.

As a rule, buying card packs from the Shop The Goblins vs Gnomes tab of the Cards pane The Adventure pane The Heroes pane The Shop is the in-game facility for purchasing new card packs and wings of adventures. Purchases may be made in is the quickest and easiest, but least efficient, way to obtain cards. If the player is able to consistently win 3 or more matches in the Arena, it is better to spend their money on buying an Arena run rather than simply buying card packs. Adventures also offer excellent value for money: the quality and quantity of cards awarded in each wing mean that even if the player wants only a few of the cards featured, they will obtain more dust by earning and then disenchanting Crafting mode, in Standard format mode The crafting system is an element of Hearthstone that allows players to directly create new cards.

The efficiency of adventures is however balanced against the value of card packs. If a player is aiming to collect numerous cards from a new expansion, opening card packs will prove highly efficient, since most cards will be desirable. In contrast, the inefficiency of the disenchanting process means that if seeking a specific card from an expansion set, it is much more efficient to craft Crafting mode, in Standard format mode The crafting system is an element of Hearthstone that allows players to directly create new cards.

Earning gold
Good ways of earning gold vary based on skill and time available. For advanced players, the most profitable activity is playing Arena at a high skill level, offering extremely high gold (and arcane dust Crafting mode, in Standard format mode The crafting system is an element of Hearthstone that allows players to directly create new cards.

For those less successful in the Arena, the simplest strategy is usually to play a lot of matches, steadily earning gold through quests and the 3-win reward. Players with little time on their hands may want to focus on making sure they complete all quests.
Since gold is primarily used to obtain cards, players should also consider means of obtaining cards, card packs and arcane dust directly.

Tavern Brawls
Tavern Brawls The Tavern Brawl interface Tavern Brawl is one of Hearthstone s lighter game modes. A weekly event, a new Tavern Brawl begins each Wednesday (Thursday in Asian regions), ending the following Monday. Outside of these times, often provide an excellent opportunity for rapid gold-making, both through completing quests and through winning games.
There are two main advantages of Tavern Brawls in making gold. The first is that the matches are typically shorter than those in constructed Constructed is a term used to refer to decks which have been created using cards from the player s collection. Constructed play is play in either Play mode, Practice mode or Friendly Challenge. Some Tavern Brawls or Arena play. Many of the Brawls have strong RNG "I think it’s important for there to be some kind of randomness in the game. I think it creates great stories and I don’t think you want a game that is entirely no RNG. Heck, elements which can cause matches to end very quickly, and the lack of punishment for losing games mean players are far readier to concede if it looks like they are going to lose, especially in the first few rounds. As a result, players can usually earn the "10 gold per 3 wins" reward far more quickly in Tavern Brawl mode.
The other advantage of Tavern Brawls relates to quests. A significant amount of quests require playing specific classes, which can provide a challenge in Play mode if players have little experience playing with those classes. Tavern Brawls with premade or randomised decks can significantly lower the skillcap for players, as can RNG-heavy Brawls; these can also compensate for players who lack quality cards for the classes in question, as well as saving time in looking up or devising new decks. These factors can make it easier for players to achieve wins with classes they do not normally play.
Tavern Brawls are also a far less critical play mode, with no significant MMR Matchmaking is the process of determining appropriate pairings in Hearthstone. The matchmaking process functions differently for each game mode. Casual Play mode, Ranked Play mode at Legend rank, and non-cooperative Tavern Brawls determine pairings using to damage. This can allow players to make decks to focus on quickly achieving a specific purpose, such as playing 20 minions that cost 5 or more, without concern for achieving victory in the match itself. Tavern Brawl mode also comes with its own deck slot, which can be useful for players who are already using all of their slots and don`t wish to delete a deck in order to make one for a new class.
Trivia
- Gold can only be obtained and spent in multiples of 5 (only multiples of 10 outside of Arena A video explaining the Arena in Hearthstone made by the Curse Gamepedia YouTubeTechnology company Channel. The Arena is a game mode where players compete against each other using specially constructed decks to earn substantial rewards. It rewards). This means that it is impossible to have a gold value that does not end in a 5 or a 0.
Earning Gold
There are several ways to get gold as you play Hearthstone:
- Completing a Daily Quest. A quest is worth anywhere from 40 to 100 gold. Besides the one-time quests you get when you are still new to the game, you get one quest randomly per day. You have 3 quest slots that you can have open at once, so if you complete 3 quests sometime in the span of 3 days, you will always be at your maximum quest quota and not lose any potential gold.
- Winning 3 games in Play Mode. When you play a game in play mode, be it in ranked or casual, you will be rewarded with 10 gold for every 3 wins. This is capped at 100 gold earned this way per day. Wins in Arena do not count toward earning gold.
- Rewards from an Arena run. After completing an arena run (winning 12 games or losing 3, whichever is first), you are rewarded with a Card Pack and other rewards depending on your number of wins. These rewards can include different amounts of gold, starting at a possible reward of 25 gold with no wins, and going upwards of 400 gold for 11 or 12 wins.
Spending Gold
Gold can be used in two different ways:
- Purchasing Card Packs. A Card Pack costs 100 gold. Any pack purchased is guaranteed to contain at least one rare card, with the chance for golden cards, epics, and legendaries.
- Entry fee for the Arena. The first entry fee to the Arena is free, but after that each time you want to play in Arena it is 150 gold.
