Gold can be used for booster packs, entry tickets for arena and access to adventure wings. A player can have up to three active daily quests, which carry over until completed or the quest is declined by the player a new daily quest is given once a day. Players can earn in-game gold by winning play mode matches and completing daily quests, such as winning a certain number of matches while in play mode with a particular hero class. Hearthstone is free-to-play, only requiring the player to download the game client for their computer or device after setting up a free account supporting the ongoing development of the game comes from micropayments. Players customize their decks with any gained cards to improve their chances of winning and gaining further rewards. Hearthstone is purposely designed to exclude card trading, while allowing players to disenchant unwanted cards into a quantity of arcane dust that can then be used to craft new cards of the player's choice. Players start the game with a limited collection of basic cards but can gain rarer and more powerful cards through purchasing packs of cards or as rewards from specific game modes. Players can choose from a number of game modes, with each offering a slightly different experience.
