World of Warcraft just revealed a new Twitch drop campaign to celebrate the release of the new Plunderstorm game mode. From March 22 until April 5, players can earn the bejeweled Fathom pet simply by watching four hours of World of Warcraft on Twitch.
After months of secrecy, World of Warcraft surprised players with a battle royale game mode in Patch 10.2.6 called Plunderstorm. The pirate-themed activity is totally separate from normal World of Warcraft but offers some incredible rewards for fans who dive into the fray.
However, fans won’t even need to touch Plunderstorm to get one reward in particular. World of Warcraft is holding a new Twitch Drop soon to celebrate the new game mode. For two weeks, starting on Friday, March 22, players who watch four hours of World of Warcraft on Twitch can score Fathom, a treasure-laden purple crab pet reminiscent of Tamatoa from Moana. Any stream in the World of Warcraft category will work, though many content creators will undoubtedly be playing Plunderstorm.
Fathom isn’t the first pirate-themed Twitch drop players have seen in Dragonflight. During World of Warcraft Patch 10.1.7, fans could collect the Dashing Buccaneer’s Slops via Twitch. Characters who enter Plunderstorm wear a red and white version of this outfit, so this transmog ensemble ended up being a small teaser for the new Battle Royale mode.
Fans can earn all sorts of rewards in Plunderstorm itself as well. The game mode has a separate Renown track with 40 levels to it, each with some sort of reward, including transmog items, pets, mounts, and even Trader’s Tender. Players can earn progress towards their rewards without winning a game, but those who come out on top can score a special eyepatch and tabard transmog.
Plunderstorm isn’t the only thing coming in Patch 10.2.6. Players will have several new goals to work towards in the patch, including a new World of Warcraft meta achievement that rewards Taivan as a mount. With Dragonflight Season 4 only a few weeks away, fans will have plenty to keep them busy until the next content update.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and is the ninth expansion pack for the iconic massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft.
Dragonflight features an overhauled user interface, raises the level cap to 70, and introduces a new race and class.

Hunter players in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery can obtain a special item that lets them tame Core Hounds in Phase 3. Though fans could tame these fiery beasts in retail World of Warcraft for a while, this is the first time Hunters have been able to get one in Classic Era.

After nearly two decades, these old World of Warcraft items are finally getting the chance to see the light of day in Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3.
World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 3’s new Sunken Temple raid is extremely challenging, having walled players with its difficulty far longer than any other in Classic history. For the first time in World of Warcraft, a Classic raid hasn’t been conquered in a matter of hours, making the Sunken Temple one of the hardest raids in it to date.
World of Warcraft Classic just shared a short video previewing the Sunken Temple raid in Season of Discovery Phase 3. This 20-player version of the infamous World of Warcraft dungeon is available in Season of Discovery Phase 3 right now.
World of Warcraft just buffed the drop chance for the Noble Flying Carpet mount from the Noblegarden event. From now until the event ends on April 8, fans have a better chance of looting this rare World of Warcraft mount, with an even higher chance on the first kill of the day.
A Drake’s Big Basket of Eggs, a World of Warcraft toy added to Noblegarden last year, now works with Dracthyr, allowing the characters to carry the basket in their mouths just like their Dragonriding mounts. This hilarious and adorable interaction was made possible thanks to changes to the Dracthyr Soar racial ability in a previous World of Warcraft patch.
The new Duck Disguiser toy added to the Noblegarden event in World of Warcraft takes six years to get all of its color variations. This bizarre unlock process is not account-wide, causing no small amount of frustration among World of Warcraft players.

Some World of Warcraft fans have discovered an exploit in Plunderstorm that makes it so a Duo team can keep resurrecting each other while in the Storm. This cheap tactic is only possible thanks to a recent hotfix, but it allows World of Warcraft players to survive indefinitely while out of bounds in the battle royale.
World of Warcraft Classic is adding a way for Priest players to learn every race-specific spell in Season of Discovery. Once this new feature makes its way to Season of Discovery in Phase 4, World of Warcraft Priests will be able to combine certain spells in ways that have never been possible before.
