The most well-known item you can buy using amethyst crystals is an Lost Ark Gold skin for your ship, known as the Notos orca, which turns your vessel to a whale. It should make those long sea voyages go by in a flash. That'll set you back an impressive 6,600 amethyst shards. There's also a lovely gold wolf mount that you can buy, though that one costs the equivalent of 22,000 amethyst shreds.

How to get Lost Ark Twitch drops

To enable Twitch drops, go to the Lost Ark website(opens in new tab) then sign in to Twitch and then connect to your Steam account, and then hit"Activate". To activate this Twitch drop, you'll need watch four hours' worth of streaming streams that are participating, but not all at once.

For all the time, visit Twitch's Lost Ark category on Twitch(opens in new tab) and filter it with Drops Enabled so that you can find them fastest. I prefer scrolling down and finding streamers that aren't widely known and could do with an extra view, but there are plenty of categories to help you get around.

Make sure to rack up your four hours prior to it's too late. Pixel Glasses promotion ends on the 18th of August, on Thursday.

If you've earned a drop and you've earned cheap Lost Ark Gold, you'll receive a notification via Twitch. (Notifications are up top in between whispers and Prime Gaming Loot.) It will take you to your Twitch list of inventory, from where you'll be required to claim the drop. Once you've done that, it'll be available in game over the course of 24 hours. You can access it through the product inventory, next to your mail.
