Earn the Adorned Half Shell transmog in WoW and the Glensoul Arbalest in Diablo 4 by watching your favorite Twitch streamers

There’s a new Twitch Drop to earn in World of Warcraft: the Adorned Half Shell back transmog. If it reminds you of a ninja turtle, you’re not alone, since it’s the 35th anniversary of the live action 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which is getting a theatrical re-release next month to celebrate. And with this stylish turtle shell, you could celebrate with your own ninja turtle transmog. Or just improve your Tortollan transmog. Either way.

This drop is available right now and runs through August 11 at 10am pacific (1pm eastern), so you have plenty of time to pick it up. To earn it, you just need to watch four hours of any participating World of Warcraft streamer on Twitch.

However, it’s the last week to get Diablo 4’s Glensoul Arbalest crossbow transmog, celebrating the release of Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim. The downside to this transmog — because there’s always a downside to life in Sanctuary — is that the current drop is only available for Rogues, a crossbow with Horadric-style scrollwork decoration. It’s a neat, low-key look if you’re playing a ranged Rogue, but a little underwhelming if you aren’t. To earn this cosmetic, you need to watch three hours of Diablo 4 streams before July 19 at 10am pacific (1pm eastern).

If you’re new to Twitch Drops, there are a few things to set up before you can rack up rewards in Blizzard games. Here’s how to earn the Adorned Half Shell in World of Warcraft and the Glensoul Arbalest in Diablo 4, starting with linking your Battle.net account to Twitch.

How to connect your Battle.net account to your Twitch account

It’s a straightforward process that will only require logging into Twitch and then going to your Battle.net settings — but keep your Battle.net Authenticator handy if you use one.

1. Log in to your Twitch account.
2. Go to the Battle.net Connections pane. If you’re not already logged into your Battle.net account, you’ll be prompted to do so.
3. Scroll until you find the Twitch option, and click +Connect.
4. Follow the instructions.
5. Watch the streams.

Twitch channels that have drops active are labeled as such (there’s a “Drops Enabled” message near the stream categories). A great way to keep track of your progress is at the Twitch Drops Inventory page, which constantly updates with how close you are to earning the drop.

Once you finish watching for the required amount of time, a clickable message will pop up in the stream chat telling you that your drop is ready to be claimed, or you can claim it via the Drops Inventory page. You’ll receive the confirmation that you got it at that time, and you can always check the Drops Inventory page later to review successful acquisition.

Note that the rewards are independent of possessing or playing the game in question — they’re associated with your Battle.net account so they’ll be available when you play the game.

How to connect your Battle.net account to your YouTube account

There are currently no rewards available on YouTube, but here’s how to connect your accounts for future promotions.

YouTube and Battle.net integration is relatively easy to set up.

1. Make sure you are logged in on your YouTube account.
2. Go to your YouTube Account Sharing page.
3. For Battle.net click the Connect button. You’ll need to be using a personal account to connect, not a “brand” account.
4. If you’re not logged into your Battle.net account you’ll be prompted to do so. Make sure you have your authenticator handy!
5. Watch the streams.

If you’re gaining credit towards the rewards you’ll see “Connected” underneath the broadcast window. If you don’t see this, ensure that your account is linked and refresh the page. Because the connection is fully integrated with YouTube you won’t need to “claim” the rewards; instead they should appear on your account shortly after you’ve watched for the specified time.
