Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame Twitch Drops - Free Cosmetics
As the community eagerly awaits the launch of the next major expansion, Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame, Grinding Gear Games is stoking the hype with a celebratory two-week Twitch Drops event. Players will have the opportunity to earn exclusive in-game cosmetic items simply by watching their favorite streamers explore the new content on Twitch. This event is the perfect way to get a head start on customizing your character and hideout for the new league.
The promotion is scheduled to kick off alongside the expansion's launch, providing a fantastic incentive for both new and veteran players to tune in and see what Keepers of the Flame has to offer. Here is a complete breakdown of the rewards, schedule, and everything you need to do to claim your free loot.
Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame Twitch Drops Overview
The Keepers of the Flame Twitch Drops event will run for two consecutive weeks, each with its own unique set of cosmetic rewards. To be eligible, viewers must accumulate a specific amount of watch time on any Path of Exile stream that has Twitch Drops enabled.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to support content creators while earning valuable in-game items that are often exclusive to these types of promotions or the microtransaction store. The rewards are automatically tracked and can be claimed once the watch time requirements are met.
Week 1 Twitch Drops: Rewards and Schedule
The first week of the event is packed with two distinct rewards that will add flair to both your character and your personal hideout.
- Rewards:
- Exile's Treasurer Hideout Decoration: A unique decorative item to enhance your personal in-game sanctuary.
- Breachlord's Claw Character Effect: A striking visual effect that adds a menacing and stylish aura to your character's hands.
- Start Time: October 31st at 12:00 PM PDT
- End Time: November 8th at 2:59 AM PST
- Requirement: To earn both items, you must accumulate a total of three hours of watch time on any eligible Path of Exile stream on Twitch.
You do not need to watch the three hours consecutively or on a single channel. Your watch time is cumulative across all participating streams, giving you the flexibility to watch a variety of content creators throughout the week. Once you have reached the three-hour mark, the rewards will be available to claim from your Twitch Inventory.
What to Expect in Week 2
While the full details for the second week of the promotion have not yet been announced, the event is confirmed to continue with a fresh set of rewards. Based on previous Path of Exile Twitch Drop campaigns, players can likely expect another pair of high-quality cosmetic items, such as a weapon skin, a portal effect, or a pet.
The second week will begin immediately after the first concludes. Be sure to check back for official announcements regarding the specific rewards and timing for the second half of this exciting launch event.
