Hearthstone

Introduction

The latest patch notes for Battlegrounds are here, and they bring some exciting updates to the game's quests and rewards. Players can now rejoice as Golden Hammer and Kidnap Sack have been returned to the Quest Reward Pool. Additionally, the Hire an Investigator quest has been made easier, with the new baseline requiring players to end their turn with unspent Gold only twice. But that's not all - the Volatile Venom quest reward has also been tweaked, with minions now receiving +7/+7 instead of +8/+8. Of course, they still die horribly after attacking. To make things even better, Tiny Henchmen, The Golden Hammer, and Volatile Venom have all been made easier to earn. However, players will have to work a bit harder to get their hands on Stolen Gold. Finally, the patch notes also reveal that Interrogator Whitemane and Vigilant Stoneborn have been added to the pool of Neutral minions available in Wonderous Wisdomball's lucky rolls.
