Guild Wars 2just revealed a bunch of Twitch Drops to celebrate the upcoming Repentance update, including the Mini Lion Cub, Fuzzy Panda Hat bundle, and a bag slot expansion. By watching five hours ofGuild Wars 2on Twitch from March 11 through 16, fans can add these cosmetics, consumables, and account upgrades without even playing the game.
Recently,Guild Wars 2revealed Repentance, the second major update of the Janthir Wilds expansion. The patch brings the Wayfinder to the Mistburned Barrens, the site of the ancient Mursaat ruins of Bava Nisos, as they continue the story where it left off after the Titan’s defeat inGuild Wars 2’s Godspawn update.
To prepare players for this perilous journey,Guild Wars 2has revealed some stellar items they can earn without even logging in. A new Twitch Drop campaign to celebratetheGuild Wars 2: Janthir Wildsexpansion’s content update is set to begin on March 11, simultaneous to the launch of Repentance. From then until March 16, fans can watch up to five hours of anyGuild Wars 2streamers on Twitch to earn the Lion Cub miniature, the Fuzzy Panda Hat bundle, and a Bag Slot Expansion that can be used to upgrade a single character’s inventory.
How to Get Guild Wars 2 Repentance Twitch Drops
The Mini Lion Cub and the Fuzzy Panda Hat are both items that were previously available fromthe Gem Store inGuild Wars 2for 400 and 200 Gems respectively, or via Black Lion Statuettes and similar offers. Likewise, Bag Expansions cost 400 Gems each, providing much-needed bag space for a singleGuild Wars 2character. At a cost of $5 for 400 gems, and when combined with the two Heroic Boosters and Upgrade Extractor included in the Fuzzy Panda Hat bundle, these Twitch Drops have a cash value of about $15.
Though players must own Janthir Wilds to enter the Mistburned Barrens and experience most of the Repentance update, they do not need it to earn these Twitch Drops. That said, purchasing theGuild Wars 2expansion unlocks their Homestead, grants full access to seasonal rewards in the Wizard’s Vault, and lets them travel to the zones fromJanthir Wilds, plus the Godspawn and Repentance updates, so players might still want to consider picking it up anyway.
