[h2]How to Participate[/h2]
Simply link your Path of Exile account to Twitch (see below) and tune into GGG Live at www.twitch.tv/pathofexile, or any channel in the Path of Exile Directory for 45 minutes. Drops will be enabled from 12PM PDT until 10PM PDT.

You will get the Hiveborn Crawler Pet after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time on any channel with drops enabled streaming Path of Exile during the event. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

If you’re planning to stream Path of Exile during our livestream and want to enable Twitch Drops for your viewers, you can do it via your Twitch Creator Dashboard here.

[h2]Linking your Path of Exile Account to Twitch[/h2]
Visit your Twitch Settings page while logged in. If your account isn't connected, click the "Connect" button for Twitch under "Other Connections". Complete the process on Twitch and you will be redirected back to your Twitch Settings page. If your account is already connected, this page should say "Your Path of Exile account is currently linked to your Twitch account."

After you've accumulated enough watch time to earn your Hiveborn Crawler Pet, you must redeem it from your Twitch Inventory before the promotional period ends. Then it will be immediately available in your microtransactions list in both Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2. The Hiveborn Crawler Pet will be available for purchase from the store at a later date.

We can’t wait to share the details of Keepers of the Flame with you! To stay up to date in the lead up to the livestream be sure to check out our Twitter, Facebook and Forums. We'll see you at GGG Live at www.twitch.tv/pathofexile!

[p]The Mercenaries Challenge League will end soon and you may be wondering what will happen when it does. [/p][p][/p][p]We really love the Mercenaries mechanic overall and intend on adding it to the game in the future but they will not be added in 3.27. Much like a lot of leagues when they go core we need time to rebalance, adjust mechanics and review how they will fit into the game when not necessarily appearing in every area. They will be returning, just not yet![/p][p][/p][p]So, here’s what you can expect when the league ends on 2 PM October 27th (PDT).[/p]

• [p]Items you have given them to equip will go into remove only tabs.[/p]
• [p]Mercenaries will be deleted.[/p]
• [p]Trarthan Gems will be a new reward you can get from Gem Chests in Heist.[/p]
• [p]Mercenary League specific uniques will move into the global drop pool.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thanks to everyone for playing and to those of you still trying to complete your unfinished challenges, you still have two weeks to do so before the Mercenaries League ends. To those of you looking forward to something new, keep an eye on the news for the upcoming 3.27 reveal! [/p]
