World of Warcraft is handing out a launch-celebration toy through Twitch Drops. The Pouch of Violet Dust turns a campfire purple and extends camp benefits in WoW: Forever, but it is temporary and will be removed from collections in early December.
What the toy does
Using the pouch at a campfire increases the duration of all camp benefits by 1 hour, for a total of 2 hours. Once it’s activated, the effect is shared: any other players resting at that camp get the same extended duration.
The toy only works in WoW: Forever and can only be used during the “WoW: Forever Launch Celebration” event period, which ends in early December. After that, it is taken out of players’ collections and can no longer be obtained. It is not available in the Classic games or in modern World of Warcraft, and it needs a subscription or Game Time.
How to earn it
The Drops run from November 4 at 4:30 pm PST to November 12 at 4:30 pm PST. You need to watch four hours of eligible World of Warcraft content on any channel while Drops are active.
- Link your Twitch account on the Battle.net connections page, or connect YouTube through the YouTube Connected Apps page. If you changed your password or made account changes, you’ll need to relink. Relinking brings a 7-day cooldown before you can attach a different Twitch account.
- Claim the drop on the channel you’re watching or in the Twitch Drops Inventory.
- Log into the Battle.net region where you want the toy. The first region you log into receives the item, and delivery can take up to 24 hours after claiming.
- Unclaimed-to-account Twitch rewards expire seven days after claiming if no Battle.net account has been linked.
Watching and devices
On Twitch, progress counts on any eligible channel in the World of Warcraft category, so you can switch channels without losing it. Watching several channels at once won’t speed it up. On YouTube, you need to watch the official World of Warcraft channel for the whole time, and rewards are delivered automatically in-game if your accounts are connected while you watch.
Drops can be earned and claimed through a PC or Mac browser, or through the Twitch or YouTube app on Android and iOS. Console, smart TV and other TV apps don’t support them.
Twitch Drops are available in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. YouTube rewards cover the same regions plus Korea. Blizzard notes it can change, pause or cancel the Drops if they can’t run as planned.
