While the Quartero’s Curios event may not replace a full-fledged Battle Pass, it remains a noteworthy free content update, allowing players to access desirable cosmetics and new sets without any expenditure. It’s a tantalizing prospect for both casual and competitive gamers alike.

How To Earn Rewards Quickly

The mechanics of Quartero’s Curios are straightforward: players can unlock rewards by gaining levels through gameplay. Specific milestones provide rewards, prompting the question: what is the most efficient way to level up?

Engaging in both ranked and unranked matches yields 650 XP for each win and 250 XP for losses. In contrast, Turbo matches grant a reduced amount of XP due to their shorter nature, offering 425 XP for wins and 175 XP for losses.

Reward Levels and Cosmetic Sets

The levels serve a crucial purpose: most levels from 1 to 30 provide rewards, particularly pieces of the new cosmetic sets, which include:

Witch Doctor’s Papa Wanga Set
Legion Commander’s Drakon’s Deed Set
Vengeful Spirit’s Maledictions of Morrigan Set
