Twitch Drops
Who doesn’t like freebies? You can get some unique cosmetic items for free just by watching Twitch streamers play Hogwarts Legacy.
Promoting a game with the help of Twitch Drops has become a common strategy in the gaming industry. And Warner Bros. is taking a similar approach by providing cosmetic items like the Silver Dragon-Eyed Spectacles, Urchin Hat, and Carmine Lightning Bolt Scarf via Twitch Drops.
Completing side quests
Side quests in Hogwarts Legacy are among the best ways to obtain new cosmetic items while progressing the game. Not only does it allow you to get your hands on some of the trendy clothing items, you can also level up your character, learn new lore, and other such things in the process.
Challenges! We are up for it, what about you?
Completing the challenges you find in your Field Guide in Hogwarts Legacy rewards you with a ton of Gear Appearances, which are nothing but cosmetic items that give you a new look.
We recommend focusing on completing the Field Guide Pages, Quests, and Combat challenges to get new cosmetic items faster.
