The Heroes' Tavern hands out free rewards every day. How quests work, which ones to take first and when refreshing the Tavern is actually worth it.

The Heroes’ Tavern is one of the easiest sources of free rewards in Idle Heroes. You send heroes on quests, wait for the timer, and collect the loot. It takes a minute a day – if you do it right.

How Tavern quests work

  • Each quest has a reward, a duration and requirements.
  • Requirements usually ask for heroes of certain star levels and sometimes specific factions.
  • Higher-rarity quests give better rewards but take longer and need stronger heroes.

Meeting requirements

Tavern quests need heroes of specific star levels. That’s one reason to keep a few spare heroes of different factions and star levels instead of feeding everything immediately. Our beginner guide explains how to balance this with fodder needs.

Refreshing

The Tavern lets you refresh the list of quests:

  • Free refreshes – always use them on low-value quest lists.
  • Paid refreshes – rarely worth it for new players; save gems for events.

Daily routine

  1. Collect completed quests.
  2. Start the highest-value quests first.
  3. Fill remaining slots with whatever is available.
  4. Check back later if quests finish during the day.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving quests uncollected for days.
  • Spending gems on refreshes for low-value quests.
  • Feeding every spare hero and then lacking heroes for quest requirements.

The Tavern is a small task with steady rewards. Make it part of your daily routine and it quietly adds up.
