How to Earn 2 Free Forged in the Barrens Card Packs
Twitch Drops are active for the duration of the event and then some! (Drops last for 10 hours after the start of the event).
- Watch 1 hour of any Twitch channel playing Hearthstone to earn 1 Forged in the Barrens card pack drop.
- Watch 1 additional hour to earn a second Forged in the Barrens card pack drop.
Note that Twitch drops have recently changed and you will need to claim your first drop before earning progress on your second. With these updates though you will also be able to see your watch time progress towards a drop which is great news!
If you need to setup your Twitch account for drops, here is how you do it:
- Log in or create an account on Twitch.tv.
- Navigate to the Settings menu by clicking your account name in the top-right corner of the home screen.
- Navigate to the Connections tab of the Settings menu.
- Find the Battle.net section, then follow the instructions after selecting a region and clicking Connect.
- When connecting accounts, be sure that you’re currently logged in to the Battle.net account on which you’d like to receive your rewards.

Definitely seems messed up. Two hour progression bar for the first. But now the second drop looks like it's properly counting for only 1 hour. I did have to close Twitch completely. Once I jumped back on, it is now showing ~55% progression towards second pack.
I received one pack in game already.
Or not. Still counting and only went from 55% to 77% over the last 50 minutes. Small indie companies... :D
Got 100% already in the first pack, but it doesn't let me claim the reward, ergo doesn't start the progress bar for the second pack so... Guess no free packs for me...
I had the same issue, refreshing the pages finally fixed it and allowed me to claim.
Refreshed the page and got the 2 drops available to claim!
Weird issue but free packs anyway. Yay!
2 hours already, where pack?
I think there's a typo in the article.
According to Blizzard we must watch 2 hours (consecutive or non-consecutive) of any Hearthstone stream on Twitch to get 1 Forged in the Barrens pack. Watch for 4 total hours to get another one!
Currently, the in Twitch timer is showing 2/4 hours.
