Quest turn-ins

Random Battlegrounds
Win: 3 hearts · Loss or draw: 25% chance for 3
Use the Random Battleground queue and stay until the match ends. Specific battleground queues, arenas and AFK players do not qualify.
Raid bosses
Regular bosses: about 20% chance for 1 · Raid finals: guaranteed 1–3
Level 60, 70 and 80 raids, across their supported difficulties. Encounter reward chests carry the hearts when the encounter has chest loot. Real-player group bonuses and Hardmode magic find improve eligible drops; see below.
Timed Mythic+ clears
1–10 hearts, based on keystone level
One rewarded run per character per day; the lock applies to everyone in the party. Missing the timer gives no completion reward. See the level table below.
City invasions
Successful defense: 20 hearts · Fallen-city clear: 10
Earn credit for 30 invader kills, then claim from the Invasion Herald within 7 days of the war’s resolution. Nearby party kills count. The warboss bonus increases gold and honor only.
Invasion Warseal exchange
1 Warseal → 10 hearts
Exchange at the Invasion Herald. Warseals also buy invasion armor and Wrathful Gladiator armor, so check those rewards before exchanging.
Quest and Random Battleground chances are fixed personal rolls. Realm rates, Hardmode magic find and group loot bonuses do not multiply them. Automated bots do not receive these personal rewards.
Mythic+ reward amounts
A timed clear awards one heart for each pair of keystone levels, rounding up. Each character must have the chosen level unlocked; Mythic+ is tuned for a full five-player team.
| Keystone levels | Hearts |
|---|---|
| +1 / +2 | 1 |
| +3 / +4 | 2 |
| +5 / +6 | 3 |
| +7 / +8 | 4 |
| +9 / +10 | 5 |
| +11 / +12 | 6 |
| +13 / +14 | 7 |
| +15 / +16 | 8 |
| +17 / +18 | 9 |
| +19 / +20 | 10 |
Raid with real players for more hearts
- Each extra real player in your group inside the same instance adds 10 percentage points to eligible drop chances, up to +40 points. Your controlled alt bots do not count.
- When a boss or encounter chest drops hearts, each extra real player adds one to that loot stack, up to four extra hearts. This also applies to guaranteed final-boss drops.
- For example, a final boss’s 1–3 hearts become 5–7 with five real players. This increases the shared loot stack; it is not a separate payout to every player.
- Hardmode magic find improves regular raid-boss chances. Final bosses already guarantee hearts, so magic find does not increase their chance or base stack size.
Plan your spending
Vendor collectibles
60 per item
Lady Liadrin, Demon Heart Vendor
Rare mounts, toys and other collectibles. Every item in her shop has the same price.
Awakened talent session
First confirmed session free; 3 each afterward
Lady Vashj, the Awakened
At level 80 with 51 points in a main tree, choose one other tree. Spend existing talent points through her, bypassing tier gates; real prerequisites still apply.
Permanent bonus talent point
10 per point · Up to 10 purchases per character
Lady Vashj, the Awakened
Each purchase grants a point for both specs and raises your Awakened limit by one, from 10 to a maximum of 20. Bonus points survive talent resets; purchases are not refunded.
Where to go & what to know
- Lady Liadrin — Demon Heart Vendor
- Find her in the major cities; both factions can shop. Speak to her and choose to browse her goods. Her greeting gives the price: 60 hearts per item, even though the vendor window does not display the heart cost. Hearts are taken from your bags when you buy; keep a free slot for the item.
- Lady Vashj — the Awakened
- Find her in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Shattrath or Dalaran. She handles Awakened talent sessions and permanent bonus talent points.
- Invasion Herald
- Visit the Invasion Herald in the center of Dalaran to claim earned invasion rewards or exchange Warseals.
- Bags, mail & trading
- Demon Hearts bind when picked up, so you cannot trade them or send them to an alt. They stack to 250. Quest and Random Battleground rewards go to your bags, or arrive by Postmaster mail if your bags are full; this fallback does not describe ordinary raid loot.
