  • With the release of Showdown in the Badlands, Blizzard nerfed the XP gain from Mercenaries mode to the ground. However, you can still get XP from AFK farming, and the best way to do that is to use Solo Adventures, especially, the Boomsday Project!
    My channel provides all the information you need about the best Hearthstone meta decks, the best Hearthstone budget decks, and how to play Hearthstone and climb the ladder all the way to high Legend. I also create content about Hearthstone Mercenaries: the best Mercs, the fastest ways to grind, and the best comps to take on Heroic bounties.
    This video is from the era of Year of the Wolf Standard format and TITANS expansion.

    ohhh, hear ye Hearthstone-prophet ! he has given us his blessings once again ! :D many thanks ! great help as always, especially now since Mercenaries only gives 28 XP per half an hour... quite some drastic change - wouldn't mind about the Event-XP, as this was Blizzards main concern about that Xp-nerf, but missing out on a lot of gold for the rewards-track does make a huge difference !

    Its better than nothing but yes you have to be bothered to do this every 30 mins for 240xp per hour and if miss it by even 1 min (ie log back in at 31 mins), you just wasted half an hour. Its a good method for those who really wanna push it, but might be easier to spend a bit of money in the game 😂

  • @wedgeantilles8575
    @wedgeantilles8575 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Remember that you need energy to run your computer.
    There is a serious chance, that you are much better off if you just shut down your pc (or let it idle!) and buy packs with the money you saved on energy.
    Example: If your computer uses 200Watt/hour when you run Hearthstone, you need 1,6kWh for an 8 hour idle farm.
    How much that is depends on your energy price of course - in Germany it is 60-70 Cent.
    Oh, and you need to constantly get back to your computer and stuff like that.
    Seriously, get a job for 1 hour per week and buy the packs with the money you earn there. In the end you invest a lot of energy and time to get half a pack per day, which is 50 Cent.
    After energycost you maybe "earn" 10 or 20 CENT per day. And for 20 Cent you have to constantly set you a timer.
    Guys, seriously???
    That's totally insane IMO.

      Yup, when they nerfed mercs, I actually used that chance to stop farming. Actually Blizzard nerfing the exp was a blessing. People are so addicted (or no lifers) they need to resort to slavery of their time to get a few crumples. I will probably never do that again.

      Either buy the packs or don't buy them - both is fine. (Personally, I spent a total of 25 bucks in 9 years of Hearthstone.)

      The best I got afking was 331 during Fractured in Alterac Valley expansion, along with all dailies & weeklies and got some exp from achievements too. Afking gets us only 120 exp now, back then we'd get 168. It's definitely possible to reach 400, but you have to do this everyday, and pretty much all the time, for me personally its not worth it anymore. I only did it back then to catch up on old packs. I gotta say it became annoying real quick to stop whatever I was doing to go check on hs every 30 mins.
