Does he come in a gift box like the fel drake? Or does he just appear in your inventory?
In the pet journal you have to unbox him, but you also need to redeem on the bnet website with a code from twitch.
thatâs right! I forgot about the code.
Thank you.
So wait you have to buy 2 subs to get this pet? I donât get it.
Yes âgift two subsâ on twitch twitch then gives you a notification with the code to redeem. Cost me about 16 Australian dollars to do. I think itâs like 12 American?
Oh. Thatâs dumb. Iâll skip that. Thanks.
youâre basically paying $10 for the pet. you just have to go thru Twitch to do it.
Hah, yeah so did I. I was scratching my head for about an hour before I asked in the chat what was going on.
Yea, I wouldnât normally buy anything from the store, so Iâll pass on this one.
I kinda like that they at least are offering this option to support streamers. I gifted 2 subs on a smaller streamer. I think its nice to get a pet for helping the community rather than just paying Blizz in the store. And I got to help out a couple smaller streamers. Likewise Iâm getting my 4 hours of watch time for the fel drake in on smaller streamers too.
$10.00
If youâre watching me, I appreciate that very much.
Their instructions assume the readers is very familliar with Twitch, which I think is mistake. Since itâs basically the same as buying from the store but some streamers get the money, I figured why not. Unfortunately, itâs not at all obvious to me exactly what I have to do.
I went to their list of eligible streamers, found two, and bought a subscription from each. I have yet to get the code though â did I do it right or does it just take a while?
They say in the instructions that you should buy the subscription âWhile the channel is live streaming World of Warcraftâ. I thought thatâs what I was doing, only to later realize that what I assumed was a live stream was, in fact, a replay of an earlier WoW stream. That makes me think that I bought to subs for nothing, but its not super clear. I mean, I picked two people off their list, if itâs critically important that they be live streaming when the sub is purchased, they didnât do a great job of impressing the importance of that part. They mentioned it, but if that was critical they should have put that in bold above the list of eligible streamers or something.
Apparently subbing wonât even work you need to âgift subsâ.
How do you âgift subsâ?
OK, I clicked the âGift a Subâ button and sent it out to the community on one of their eligible streamers. If they have to be live when I do it, then Iâve missed out again and this will be by far the most expensive pet Iâve ever bought
The streamer has to be live, they have to be on the list of acceptable streamers (see the news article), and the gifted subs cannot be anonymously given. This last part wasnât part of the article, but found out by some streamers.
Jeez, so glad they made this crystal clear and easy to do. This is going to be a $45 pet in the end, thanks Blizzard.
Got the pet â Thanks for the tip about the anonymous gifting.
Just to make the last leg a PITA, the notification says âClick here to redeemâ and it takes you to the redemption page but does not fill in the code. Which you canât copy & paste because clicking on the notification just immediately pops you back to the redemption page. I had to bloody screenshot the code and manually enter it.
This has been a well though out and wonderfully executed promotion.
10/10 Would stab self in the eye again.
Glad you got the pet, and happy to be of help. As to the whole code thing⌠yeah not sure why that whole part was that cumbersome, specially when the kite and mount just show up in our collections. Have fun⌠Iâve been running around with my guy.
