Each week of the event will have items for each class. You need to watch 3 hours of eligible Diablo 4 content to claim each week’s rewards. Please note that after watching any eligible streamer for 3 hours, you must claim the corresponding reward prior to gaining progress towards the next reward.
From October 8—November 5,, you can also show your support for streamers within the Diablo IV category by purchasing or gifting their channel Twitch subscriptions of any tier.

To make headway towards a drop in Diablo IV on Twitch, simply tune into any eligible content creator within the Diablo IV category. For example, spend 30 minutes on one channel, then switch to another without forfeiting your advancement. Remember, watching multiple channels concurrently won’t boost your progress rate. Furthermore, streams playing in the background or inactive tabs will not be recognized as part of the required watch hours.
