I'm a little paladin, short and stout.
Here is my hammer, here is my mount.
When I get in combat, I run out.
Pop up my bubble, and hearthstone out.

Comment by qagmire

The Hearthstone is a unique (you can only own one) item that has a 10 second cast time, with a 60 minute cooldown timer on it. This timer is not shared with the Shaman spell, Astral Recall (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=556).

If you delete this item from your inventory you can get a new one from any Innkeeper by asking him/her to "make this inn your home". If you place your Hearthstone into your Bank, you will not be able to use it out in the world, and you can not ask an Innkeeper for a new one.

Comment by martyr

when using the auto-unstuck tool in help, it will most likely use your hearthstone and transport you to wherever your inn is. (also the cooldown is shared.)

Comment by Nekroradai

You can also sit or sleep and use your hearthstone at the same time.

Comment by Finbarr

Hearthstones can be used in combat, unlike the mount, but take delays like a normal spell.

Comment by Vlad

Also affected by Heroism/Bloodlust (shaman): http://i14.tinypic.com/6xhveqq.jpg
It's hard to see but the casting time is reduced down to 7,69 seconds from the original 10.
How do I know it's 7,69 seconds? Because it's the same with Astrall Recall (src). ;)

Comment by Kaoliene

There's no place like <home location>.

Comment by Djscratch

This is the epic pally weapon.

Comment by Nerizor

I found a nice bug today, it seems that you can cast Hearthstone while... SITTING DOWN! :D

Comment by Taurendruid5567

You can cast it while sleeping to =P

Comment by grassynole

Amazingly the hearthstone comes in very handy in combat also. If u are a healer and u are under attack from any class that can interupt (Especially a rogue) u can use the hearthstone to perform a fake heal.

This works because the animation is the same as a the animation when healing and although nearly all people have cast bars nowadays many attackers still dont read the spell being cast and just react to the animation by interrupting the spell.This can save u in many situations as they waste thier intertupt moves on u.

have fun =D

Comment by Slivlin

If there was only one of these in real life

Comment by godfamilie

invite some1 go inside a instance and get telportet to your inn
that the only way to use hs when its on cooldown:)

Comment by murshak

There's a bug with Hearthstone when you're a Mage.

When you're like a half second from getting teleported by the Hearthstone, cast the spell Blink and you'll get the Hearthstone on cooldown, but you wont get teleported.

Try it out, but you'll probably get mad because your Hearthstone will get on cooldown without any teleport. But it's worth a try.

Good Luck.

Comment by Bsmx93

I don't see how this information is useful in anyways, but I thought I would throw it out there...

Back in the World of Warcraft alpha, hearthstones used to be HUGE stones all around the game (each zone had one) they had the same skin and model as meeting stones. BUT that's not the cool part! The cool part is that when you pulled your main map up (push M) there would be little flags on each zone. Clicking a flag would cause the 'hearthstone' in the zone you choose to teleport you to it! How fun! To bad Blizzard had to change it. :(

Edit(s)
They worked a lot like Flight Paths. Each zone you visited, you could "activate" that Hearthstone to teleport (or how they have it now, fly to) later.

Hearthstone in Mulgore during Alpha Testing

Edit 2
Fixed links.

Comment by Belse

Look at the tooltip. Seems like in wrath of the lich king this will be reduced to 15 minutes.

Comment by Kapitan

Your Hearthstone has a shared cooldown with the Ruby Slippers that drop in the Opera Event in Karazhan. So, if you want an extra bag slot, delete your Hearthstone, use your shoes. Just click your heels together 3 times and say "I need a life"

Comment by akro

if you are a shaman you can use waterwalking and lie down on the water while using your HS, it looks very stupid :)

Comment by grieverghast

Just wanted to add one more thing that u can do with HS.

Month ago i was playing on my 28 lvl lock in Durnholde keep in hilsbrad foothills. I was fighting 2 mobs, one caster and one warrior, doted, feared them both and realized i done the q in the hold and was OOM and almost OOH so i started using HS when i saw the melee one running up to me. Before striking me he died from DOTs. Second one, the caster started casting Shadowbolt. I thought that i will teleport before his shadowbolt hit's me, alas hit of shadowbolt matched the casting of my HS. A loading screen apeared. My home was set to Hammerfall. Loading screen disapears and a dead body of my lock falls in the middle of Hammerfall Inn... (I lulzed a bit imagening such situation in a real setting :D) then i used souslstone and got up like nothing happened :}

Conclussion : You actually can teleport dead with HS :P

Comment by Cross88

No more Bubble-Hearthing. As of patch 3.0, entering combat while casting your Hearthstone will cancel the spell.

Comment by Nubtrain

To add to the what you can do with Hearthstone, you can hearth out while sitting! :)

Comment by dr00dzr0fl

A paladin never leaves home without his trusty hearthstone.

Comment by SvendTofte

As a non-native english speaker, the concept of Hearth (NOT heart, as in a beating heart) was foreign to me, and I went and looked it up. Merriam Webster offers the following definition:

- a brick, stone, or concrete area in front of a fireplace
- home (one's place of residence)
- a vital or creative center
- a symbol for home or family life

I guess a combination of the first and second is what is intended here. I wonder how many people run around referring to it as a Heartstone.

Comment by Maliander

One more thing to note when using your hearthstone: If you accept a summon while using your hearthstone, you end up at your hearthstone location instead of the summoning location and embarisingly have to ask for another summon.

Perhaps not the most earth-shattering of minor bugs, but worth a mention :)

Comment by Zaan3

an apparant change in 3.1 will cut the hearthstone's cooldown in half, lowering it to 30 minutes, as a result of alot of QQ because Blizzard basically make ghetto-hearthing impossible

Comment by Skumtomten

In patch 3.1 the cooldown is changed from 60 minutes to 30 minutes.

Comment by rocky69

Cooldown Cut in half in patch 3.1!

Comment by Felborn

Home is where the hearth is.

Comment by Kagonpeak

A paladin's best friend.

Comment by geordiesi

You used to be able to leave wintergrasp via the 'leave wintergrasp' accessed around your minimap, without consuming your hearthstone but although you can still leave this way, the hearthstone cd is now consumed.

It always tickled me to see people using hearthstone, taking flightpath, travelling to the boundary and flying, going all the way to the keep (if you controlled but didnt need to hand in quests) to use the portal or making/requesting portals when the easiest way was to click the above mentioned method taking you to the (99.9% of cases) home set location of Dalaran.

Comment by Wiimage

Make your own hearthstone: http://wowpapercraft.blogspot.com/2009/04/hearthstone.html

Comment by aoeu

Mages might QQ about the new 30 min hearth (minor nerf to port money making) but it's better overall for all classes.

Comment by Jigaboom

.. yea, now check out how much u wrote about it
makes me wonder why isnt the HS an epic item, or a heirloom..
.. i've had a conversation about it with a friend of mine, he agreed with me, maybe u will, maybe not
.. i know u can buy it at the General goods store (or w/e its called, cant remember right now) but if it was an Epic item (or higher) u couldnt, and u would also had to write DELETE before tossing it out of your inventory, that would make it harder to loose it
:D ..

Comment by Elarieline

I find it funny how the Argent Knights from your Argent War Horn (Screenshot Seen Here) Use the Hearth stone after they Bubble. I use this often just for the fact that it never gets old! I did this on my Paladin with the Argent Knight just to add the Double Bubble Pally Trouble affect.

Comment by Cythereal

Got a question-if you've accidentally deleted your hearthstone, and you can't physically access your hearth bind place (specifically, Dalaran), is there any way to recover the stone without losing the bind point?

Comment by fleq

Had an interesting bug with Hearthstone today on my Warlock. Was HS:ing to Dalaran and for some reason it decided to instead drop me off in Zul'drak... literally drop me off ( to my death ) like it was a transporter malfunction.
I'm an engineer but I've yet to aquire the Northrend teleporting gadget ( or any of the other ones ) so no, I didn't mix it up with it.

Comment by matoh

this is how the way Hearthstone work by bind you to Inns ..

Comment by Parablitz

Did anyone notice this, you know the saying "Home is where your heart is set"... What if it's related to hearthstone since it takes you to your home

Comment by Muscleman

This thing is a life saver in bad PUGs.

Comment by fabz6

Once i was in SM armory boosting a friend of mine,he had to go halfway through,so i continued on and i got bored,so i decided to leave using my hearth,a caster caught me while it was patrolling,i finished my hearth when its spell hit me,i succesfully hearthed back to my home (Lights hope) and it was there at lights hope! I killed it with the guards.

You can hearth while eating and still be eating in the inn...........................

Comment by error10

I've run into yet another strange issue with the Hearthstone.

I was in the Undercity (as Alliance; I was there for a quest) killing Deathguard Elites and trying to get out of there. Unfortunately they just kept respawning so my poor mage could never get a teleport started. After about six of them I got tired of it and hit Hearthstone. When I arrived in Light's Hope Chapel, several guards there promptly attacked and killed me. I have yet to figure out why, and I'm not particularly interested in trying it again.

Comment by Pigviini

Warlocks can turn people into hearthstones?

Comment by ziberia

Huzzah friends! Bubble-hearth is no longer possible!

As of 4.0.1, divine shield has 8 sec duration while the hearthstone keep its 10 sec cast. Thus making it unpossible! Moahahah :D

Comment by POINGjam

Comment by MintySinty

That two-panel screenshot of the draenei isn't of a hearthstone. It's of a resurrection spell.

Comment by Kanariya

Paladins still wearing the tanking sets of Naxxramas Tier 7/7.5 gear are still able to "bubble-hearth."

Comment by KrazyKrewson

When your Guild reaches Level 8, your Hearthstone will have a 15 minute cooldown via Hasty Hearth.

Comment by Apash

What does the innkeeper sing when people use his hearthstone?

My hearthstone brings all the players to my house...

Comment by Whoisthiscook

Lol I was just waiting for an instance and when I DCd out and logged back in I found myself in my HS location O_o

Comment by yorTman

I just figured out a cool little trick, I needed to go back to Stormwind really quickly whilerep grinding with the alliance vanguard in howling fjord, My hearthstone was set to Dalaran where I could easily portal to SW, I thought that it would be cool if I could warp to dalaran while still having my hearthstone set to Howling Fjord. I got an idea, I walked into the inn at westguard keep and spoke to the innkeeper, I clicked set as you new home but didn't click the confimation just yet, I began casting my hearthstone and in the tiny amount of time it takes between the cast to complete and it to start teleporting you I clicked the accept button, the loading screen popped up and I appeared in dalaran, I checked my hearthestone, but as I had hoped for it was set to Westguard Keep, something funny some of you guys might find useful.

Comment by Hrenyo

Fun fact: can be cast while sitting.

Comment by Reignac

Hearthstones exist in lore.
Anduin has one going straight to Jaina's tower in Theramore, and he used it to escape Ironforge when the Dark Irons took over it in The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm.
In Stormrage, the night elf ambassador to Stormwind has her hearth set at Darnassus. When the Emerald Nightmare takes over Stormwind, Broll Bearmantle takes it from her and uses it to escape.

Comment by THRobinson

Does/Should the stone work at all Inns?

I'm a 38 Hunter (Horde) and the stone has worked fine in Brill, Tarren Mill, etc... tried making Booty Bay my home, not even an option, tried Ratchet as well, same deal... glitch? a level thing?

Comment by Rubberkitten

I dont see why Blizzard cant allow you to carry a few of them to teleport to other Inns. Ultima Online had stones where you cast your spot and you can teleport but you use them up.

What would happen if you were to toss your hearthstone? Would you get another one once you talk to an Innkeeper or are you screwed for any teleports of a hearthstone?
