Blizzard is bringing Twitch drops back to WoW streams, with the epic Ghastly Charger mount! An incredibly rare, valuable skeletal steed, it will be available for a limited time around the launch of the The War Within expansion. Moreover, the best part is that it’s completely free. While there will be other rewards for those who subscribe to specific streamers, the Ghastly Charger can be yours for a little bit of your time.
Blizzard has given away other rare mounts in the past, via WoW Twitch Drops, and it’s nice to see this tradition continuing. If you need to know when and where you can unlock the Ghastly Charger mount on Twitch, here’s everything you need to know.
Unlock Ghastly Charger mount free via WoW Twitch Drops
The Ghastly Charger mount will be available via WoW Twitch Drops between August 26, 2024, at 3 PM PDT through September 19, 2024, at 10 am PDT. If you watch four hours of World of Warcraft content between these times, regardless of what channel you’re watching, you will receive this reward. You can even watch our Review-in-Progress streams once the The War Within launch takes place.
Twitch will also track where you’re watching - so if your favorite streamer stops playing, and you want to watch someone else, then you’re welcome to do that until you hit the four-hour mark. However, you also need to make sure that you’ve linked your Twitch and Battle.net accounts.
That is done by going to the Battle.net website’s Connections section and clicking the “Connect” link for Twitch. Then, just follow the instructions the website gives you until you receive confirmation. Once you’ve watched four hours worth of World of Warcraft streams during the above time frames, the Twitch drop will hit.
It's worth pointing out that this is an incredibly rare mount. The Ghastly Charger was only available in the WoW TCG and retails for around $1400 at the moment. Getting it for free is not something players should pass up on.
Keep in mind that if you haven’t linked your account, the item will disappear from your Twitch drops inventory, seven days after unlocking the Ghastly Charger - or any other WoW drop. Additionally, during this same time, players will be able to unlock the Watcher of the Huntress pet. This requires you to gift two subscriptions of any tier level to a World of Warcraft streamer once The War Within officially begins.
Any streamer, Affiliate, or Partner, is able to take part - all they have to do is stream World of Warcraft during the available time. However, Prime Subs do not count for this pet unlock. These are also available for all regions worldwide, so it doesn’t matter who you watch, or where you’re watching it from.
Blizzard will no doubt drop other Twitch drops for WoW throughout the year, so as they change their current offerings, we’ll update this accordingly.
