World of Warcraft: Forever Twitch Drops: How to Get the Pouch of Violet Dust Toy

The World of Warcraft: Forever Twitch Drop for the Pouch of Violet Dust has ended. Viewers had until 12 November at 4:30pm PST (00:30 GMT on 13 November) to watch four hours of World of Warcraft streams and claim the toy, and Blizzard hasn't announced an extension or another way to get it. If you claimed it, here's what it does, how to make sure it reaches your account, and how long you can use it: the toy only works during Forever's launch celebration and disappears from collections in early December.

What the Pouch of Violet Dust does

Forever's Camping system turns a Cooking campfire into a shared camp where players add crafted features for buffs. Use the pouch on a camp and it turns the fire purple and adds 1 hour to all camp benefits, for a total of 2 hours. The extension is shared: everyone resting at that camp gets the longer buffs, not just you.

The toy is only available in WoW: Forever, not in modern World of Warcraft or Classic, and you need an active subscription or Game Time to use it.

When the drop ran

• Started: 4 November at 4:30pm PST (00:30 GMT on 5 November, 01:30 in central Europe)
• Ended: 12 November at 4:30pm PST (00:30 GMT on 13 November, 01:30 in central Europe)
• Toy expires: the "WoW: Forever Launch Celebration" event ends in early December. After that the toy is removed from collections. Blizzard hasn't given an exact date.

Claimed it but don't see the toy?

• Link your accounts now. A drop claimed on Twitch without a linked Battle.net account expires after seven days. If you claimed it near the end and never linked, connect Twitch to Battle.net at account.battle.net/connections before those seven days run out. If you changed your password or either account since you last linked them, link them again.
• Check your Twitch Drops Inventory. On Twitch, a drop has to be claimed, either on the channel you were watching or in your Drops Inventory.
• Log in to the right region. The toy goes to the first Battle.net region you log in to after claiming.
• Give it time. It can take up to 24 hours to show up in game.
• YouTube viewers: rewards from the official World of Warcraft channel arrive automatically if your accounts were linked while you watched.

How the drop worked

On Twitch, any channel streaming in the World of Warcraft category with drops enabled counted, and you could switch channels without losing progress; watching several streams at once didn't speed it up. On YouTube, only the official World of Warcraft channel counted. Drops could be earned in a browser on PC or Mac, or in the Twitch and YouTube apps on Android and iOS, but not on consoles, smart TVs or other TV apps.

Twitch Drops covered North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The YouTube rewards covered the same regions plus Korea.
