Lost ArkTwitch drops are in-game rewards for the free-to-play MMO you can earn by watching participating streamers, usually those who are members of theLost Ark creators program, via Twitch. (Or by having their streams open in another tab while you should be working, if that’s how you roll. I’m not the boss of you.)
Those players you’ve probably seen zooming around Arkesia on the top of golden electric hoverboards while accompanied by pets that look like mystical foxes earned them from earlier Twitch drops given away to celebrate Lost Ark’s launch. More items have been given away regularly since.
With this guide, you’ll be able to score sweet free loot just just like those high-flying fancypants. You’re welcome.
What Lost Ark Twitch drops are available?
The current Twitch drop promotion began on November 1 and ends on November 28. This one lets you earn aHelgaia Pet Selection Chest, aLegendary Rapport Selection Chest, and1,000 Amethyst Shards.
Amethyst shards are a currency normally earned via achievements like winning a PvP match or accruing 50 friends, although they’re also available as an Amazon Prime reward. They can be exchanged at a dedicated vendor in each main city hub.
The most popular item to buy with amethyst shards is a ship skin called the Notos orca, which turns your ship into a killer whale and should make those long sea journeys fly by. That’ll set you back a cool 6,600 amethyst shards. There’s also a sweet gold wolf mount to buy, though that one costs 22,000 amethyst shards. Oof.
