Twitch Drops for Forged in the Barrens Card Packs starts today and runs through the weekend!
- You can earn 2 Forged in the Barrens packs for watching any Hearthstone stream on Twitch.
- You earn your first pack after watching for 2 hours.
- Your second pack arrives after another 2 hours of watching.
- New - When you get your first drop, you must claim it before you start earning your second.
Read all the details down below. Twitch Drops go live at 9 AM Pacific today (12 PM Eastern, 18:00 CEST).
Quote From Blizzard Watch any Hearthstone channel on Twitch between April 2 at 9:00 a.m. PT and April 4 at 8:00 p.m. PT for 2 hours to earn 1 Forged in the Barrens card pack! Watch for 2 more hours and you’ll receive another one! Twitch has updated how drops work on their end, and this is Hearthstone’s first time utilizing Twitch Drops since these changes were put into place. Here is what you need to know:
- You’ll now be able to see your watch time progress towards any given drop.
- You will no longer receive drop rewards automatically. You must instead claim the drop on the channel you’re watching or in the Drops Inventory menu on Twitch within the first 24 hours of earning it.
- You will need to claim your first Twitch Drop reward BEFORE you can earn progress towards a second.
- Twitch users can now earn rewards before linking their Battle.net account to Twitch. Rewards will expire 7 days after they’ve been claimed if a Battle.net account has not been linked.
After you’ve claimed a reward on Twitch, please make sure you’re logging into the region you’d like to receive the drop(s) on, as the first region you log into will be where we deliver your packs. It can take up to ~30 minutes to receive your reward(s) in game after claiming. You must link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts before you can receive a drop.

Claimed them both yesterday, only received one so far.
Got both of mine.
5 legendaries in each pack!!!!!! No not really, 80 dust. :P
Didn't they give at the start of every expansion some legendary quests with new packs as rewards in the past, guys? Didn't play the game for 1,5 years, just want to confirm that they ceased to do it.
I believe all those rewards are currently included in the rewards journey. Essentially, you have the whole expansion to claim them via advancing through the levels. I
Thanks.
Ah, tweaking the requirements so that we can't go fully AFK, but just lowkey AFK. Adding the progress monitor is a nice touch though.
Sorry if I missed this but where do we see the watch time progress?
you have to click on your twitch profile icon and you see the % of completion
Thank you very much.
We don't exactly know yet, but it should become apparent the moment this goes live. Could be its own icon, or shown in your Drops tab that you can access through Twitch profile.
Which twitch channel do we have to watch? @playhearthstone? Or a hearthstone streamer? Where are we supposed to check the watch timer they talk about?
Most streamers also tend to add "drops enabled" to their channel descriptions once they become active.
Thanks for pointing out the new rules, I could've missed the packs for not knowing them!
Thanks Flux for making this article. So it seems we´ll get just two packs for the whole event, instead of six, right?
That is correct.
