Tomes

Tomes provide XP to multiple Minis in the form of pages, which offer a choice between a Pair of 2 Minis in the player's collection. The player selects 1 Mini from each paring to immediately receive the displayed XP.

Major, Mega and Mythic Tomes provide 3, 5 and 11 Pages, respectively. Tome Pages have a 5% chance to grant a Mini double the XP value, which is shown before the choice is made.

A green arrow on a Tome Page means that you would obtain enough XP from that Page to boost your Mini to the next level, at a minimum.

Basic Information

• The cash store in Warcraft Rumble offers Major, Mega and Mythic Tomes for sale. Modest Tomes are not available for sale.
• Tomes provide Mini experience (XP). Tomes present XP in Pages, which offer a choice between a Pair of 2 Minis in the player’s collection. The player will select 1 Mini from each pair to immediately receive the displayed XP.
  • Major, Mega and Mythic Tomes provide 3, 5 and 11 Pages, respectively.
  • Tome Pages have a 5% chance to double the XP value granted to a Mini, which is shown before the choice is made.
  • Specific XP amounts granted for each Tome can be seen in the Player Profile screen in game.

• Minis have an XP level cap of 20 (XP-Capped Mini), and once a Mini reaches level 20, no additional XP can be given to that Mini.
  • Bonus levels (gained from talents, rarity upgrades, etc.,) are not counted towards the level cap, and have no effect on selection logic of the Minis.

Major, Mega, and Mythic Tome Drop-Rate Disclosures

• All Tomes broadly follow the Generic Pool Selection Logic section outlined below when populating Pages with Pairs of Minis. In addition:
  • Major and Mega Tomes can sometimes be themed as either a Family or Leader Tome – which follow additional rules outlined in the Family and Leader Pool Logic sections below, respectively.
  • Mythic Tomes contain 11 pairs of Pages and aim to fill them with the following format: 2 Pages for each Family (Alliance, Horde, Undead, Blackrock, and Beast) and 1 Pages for Leaders. Individual Family & Leader Pages are filled in accordance with the Family and Leader Pool Logic sections below, respectively.

Generic Pool Selection Logic

• By default, all Minis have equal odds of appearing in a Tome.
• However, selection odds can shift depending on the levels of Minis in your collection. The 5th highest-leveled Mini in your collection (excluding XP-Capped Minis) affects drop-rate as follows:
  • Minis 1 level higher than the 5th highest Mini have a 50% lower probability (than default odds) to appear;
  • Minis 2 levels higher than the 5th highest Mini have a 90% lower probability (than default odds) to appear;
  • Minis 3 or more levels higher than the 5th highest Mini will not appear;
  • Remaining Minis have equally distributed odds to appear.
• Duplicate Minis will not appear in a tome, except under circumstances where no other suitable Minis can be chosen.
  • XP-Capped Minis will also not appear, unless you have an insufficient number of XP-eligible Minis.
  • For more details on the selection logic of duplicate & XP-Capped Minis, please refer to the “On Duplicates & XP-Capped Minis” section in the Detailed Example tab.

Family Pool Selection Logic

• For Family Tomes, the Left Pairs of all Pages (3 pairs for Major, 5 for Mega) will first be filled with Minis that match the Family Tome theme. The Right Pairs of all Pages are then filled in accordance with the Generic Pool Selection Logic above.
• If the player has an insufficient number of appropriate Minis to fill a particular Family Page, it will be filled in accordance with the Generic Pool Selection Logic instead.

Leader Pool Selection Logic

• For Leader Tomes, the Left Pairs of all Pages (3 pairs for Major, 5 for Mega) will first be filled with Leader Minis. The Right Pairs of all Pages are then filled in accordance with the Generic Pool Selection Logic above.
• If the player has an insufficient number of appropriate Minis to fill a particular Leader Page, it will be filled in accordance with the Generic Pool Selection Logic instead.

Detailed Example

To better understand Tome drop-rate mechanics, please refer to the following detailed examples. Note that the probabilities provided are purely illustrative, and not reflective of your individual drop rates!

Consider the following Mini collection (levels displayed exclude bonus levels)
(Lv 20) Mini 1 -> XP-Capped Mini, excluded from Tomes & Highest-Level considerations
(Lv 19) Mini 2
(Lv 18) Mini 3
(Lv 17) Horde Mini 4
(Lv 16) Horde Mini 5
(Lv 15) Mini 6 -> 5th Highest-Levelled Mini (excluding XP-Capped Minis)
(Lv 14) Mini 7
(Lv 14) Horde Mini 8
(Lv 13) Mini 9
(Lv 12) Horde Mini 10
(Lv 11) Mini 11

EX1. Major Generic Tome (3 Pages) Probabilities

(note: percentages may not add to exactly 100% due to rounding)

Left & Right Pair

EX2. Major Family (Horde) Tome (3 Pages) Probabilities

(note: percentages may not add to exactly 100% due to rounding)

For Family (and Leader Tomes), all Left Pairs will be populated BEFORE the Right Pairs.

• In this example of a Horde Major Tome (3 pages), 3 of the 4 Horde Minis will be selected in succession to appear based on the odds below.
• The selected Horde Minis will not appear again for the Right Pairings. However, the unselected Horde Mini can still appear in a Right Pairs.

Left Pair (Horde Guaranteed)

Right Pair (Generic) – this table assumes Horde Minis 4, 8 & 10 were selected in the prior table

On Duplicates & XP-Capped Minis

In general, Minis will not appear more than once per tome. Only when all non-duplicate Mini options have been exhausted, can duplicate Minis begin to appear in tomes.

Similarly, XP-Capped Minis will not appear in tomes by default. Only when all other XP-eligible Mini options (including duplicates) have been exhausted, can XP-Capped Minis begin to appear in tomes.

• This scenario only occurs when players have XP-Capped most of their collection.
• Instead of XP, selecting a XP-Capped Mini will grant Arc Energy at a rate of 20 XP: 1 Arc Energy. Arc Energy is used to level up any Mini’s Rarity.

Consider this logic priority list of an Undead Tome when attempting to select a Mini:

1. Try to select a theme-appropriate mini (Undead) that is XP-eligible, and non-duplicate.
2. If cannot, try to select a non-thematic Mini that is XP-eligible, and non-duplicate.
3. If cannot, try to select any duplicate Mini (thematic or not) that is XP-eligible.
4. If cannot, select any XP-Capped Mini in your collection.

To further illustrate how duplicates can appear in a tome, consider the following example collection of Minis (levels displayed exclude bonus levels).

(Lv 19) Mini 1
(Lv 19) Mini 2
(Lv 19) Undead Mini 3
(Lv 18) Mini 4
(Lv 18) Undead Mini 5 -> 5th Highest-Levelled Mini

EX. 3 Major Family (Undead) Tome (3 Pages) with Duplicates

(note: percentages may not add to exactly 100% due to rounding)

A) Left Pair 1-2 – Undead Mini 3 & 5 will both be selected to appear

Left Pair (Undead Guaranteed)

B) Left Pair 3 & Right Pair 1-2 - No Undead Minis remain. Attempt to select non-thematic, non-duplicate minis. Minis 1 & 2 & 3 will all be selected.

Left Pair 3, Right Pair 1-2 (No Eligible Undead)

C) Right Pair 3 – Only duplicates remain. Attempt to select any XP-eligible Minis.

Right Pair 3: (Only Duplicates)
