World of Warcraft Prime Gaming Reward (February 2024)
As part of its ongoing Prime Gaming campaign, Blizzard confirmed that the next reward World of Warcraft players can earn is the Cap’n Crackers Pet. This pirate-themed parrot is exclusive to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight and is available until the end of February for players who connect their respective accounts.
The arrival of the newest Prime Gaming reward arrived at a busy time for World of Warcraft, as the long-running MMORPG is coming off the launch of the Seeds of Renewal content update. In addition to class balance updates, Patch 10.2.5 brought the story of Dragonflight to a conclusion, brought the Worgen back to their home in Gilneas, and served to steer the story toward the upcoming expansion, The War Within. It remains to be seen when alpha testing will begin for the next expansion, which will serve as the first chapter of The Worldsoul Saga for World of Warcraft.
In the meantime, World of Warcraft players can add another pet to their collections. Until February 27, World of Warcraft players with an active Amazon Prime subscription can claim the Cap’n Crackers Pet via Prime Gaming. However, claiming this pet requires a few steps to undertake. First, players will need to link their Amazon Prime and Twitch accounts together to access Prime Gaming. Once that step is done, players must then connect their Prime Gaming and Battle.net accounts together and follow any prompts that appear. After that, Cap’n Crackers will automatically be added to the Collections tab in-game upon the next login. As was the case with the January World of Warcraft Prime Gaming reward, this swashbuckling bird is exclusive to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and cannot be claimed in any World of Warcraft: Classic game modes.
World of Warcraft Prime Gaming Reward Details
– Cap’n Crackers Pet (first available via Cash Shop)
– Available from January 30 until February 27 via Prime Gaming
– Requires account connection between Amazon Prime, Twitch, and Batte.net
Cap’n Crackers first appeared in the Battle for Azeroth expansion as a pet that could be purchased via the in-game Cash Shop for $10. Cap’n Crackers can also take part in pet battles and is classified as a Flying-type pet. Due to the addition of the Trading Post, and the ongoing Prime Gaming promotion, Cap’n Crackers and other cosmetic items were retired from the Cash Shop. However, with World of Warcraft teasing a potential pirate event in Patch 10.2.6, the addition of Cap’n Crackers to Prime Gaming could either be foreshadowing or a complete coincidence.
Between Cap’n Crackers and some potential Trading Post rewards coming in February, World of Warcraft’s cosmetic collectors will have their fill of content. With the Prime Gaming crossover winding down in the coming months, only time will tell what future rewards Blizzard has in mind.
Analyst comment
This news can be considered positive for World of Warcraft players, as they have the opportunity to earn the exclusive Cap’n Crackers Pet through Prime Gaming. However, in terms of the overall market, this news is neutral and is unlikely to have a significant impact.
