WhenLost Arkinitially launched in early access it ran a promotion with Twitch for a selection of exclusive Twitch drops. Twitch viewers could watch approved channels for a certain amount of time to acquire this exclusive loot. However, the Twitch drops were tied to a complicated tiered system, were only available for a limited time, and were available prior toLost Ark’s launch before many players were paying attention. Suffice to say, there are a lot ofLost Arkplayers who want a second chance. Amazon is granting their wish.Amazon is bringing back itsLost ArkTwitch dropsfor one more round of availability. Each of the four tiers of loot, the Battle Item Chest, the Arkesia Paper Hat Chest, the Helgaia Pet Chest, and the Neugier Gold Mount, will be offered as Twitch drops in a concluding chapter to the Legends of Lost Ark event.Lost Arkplayers will have to be attentive, however, because the drops are even more limited than before and players may not get another chance.RELATED:Funny Lost Ark Video Shows What Happens When Players Try to Solo VertusHere’s how the new round of drops will work. EachLost Arkrewardwill be available separate from the other drops, unlocked for 24 hours before it moves on to the next. Starting February 25 at 9:00AM PT, the Tier 1 Battle Item Chest will be available, followed by the Tier 2 Arkesia Paper Hat Chest on February 26, the Tier 3 Helgaia Pet Chest on February 27, and the Tier 4 Neugier Gold Mount on February 28. Four drops across four days
Like before, to unlock the loot,Lost Arkplayerswill have to watch Twitch streams. It’s unclear if the same requirement will be utilized, which was watching a stream for four hours, or if they’ll shorten it due to the limited availability this time around. Regardless, watch out for a list of officially supportedLost ArkTwitch streamers in the near future.
It bears repeating that the way Amazon has handled the Twitch drops up until now borders on being described as disastrous. It’s one thing to want players to watchLost ArkTwitch streamersto earn exclusive loot, but turning it into an overly complicated metagame only ever mean a lot of players wouldn’t get the loot they wanted. Add in that loot doesn’t persist for players switching servers and there were a lot of unhappyLost Arkplayers.
Simplifying the process so that only one piece of loot is available at a time and on a rigid schedule should helpLost Arkplayers get what they want. Still, the 24-hour availability window will mean a lot ofLost Arkplayers will miss out again. Such is the cost of exclusive loot. At leastAmazonis doing this much.
