Coming this Thursday, a new patch will introduce the first Arcane rarity pet: Hammerjaw. Hammerjaw is an exceedingly rare pet egg that can be found in the locked Premium Watchman Crates. As the first Arcane item, obtaining Hammerjaw will complete the Arcane Achievement, granting a banner and the Arcane title.

Hammerjaw's activated ability grants a sweet buff, along with crackling electricity that swirls around you and your teammates for the duration of the buff.

Here is the Arcane Banner and his stats at level 1:

Look for a chance at Hammerjaw after an update planned for Thursday, January 31st.

Sam, will this only be on new crate drops or will this roll for crates in inventory?

After Thursday's update, any Premium Watchman Crate that you obtained before the patch, will then have a chance at giving out Hammerjaw's Egg when you open it. It won't be a new Crate, but in existing ones.

He said it would not be in new crates, so any drops after patch will not have the pet? Only the ones already existing prior to patch? That doesn't make sense-new crates dropped after patch should have them too, yes?

I believe he is referring to crates such as if they add a "kraag crate of the watchiepoo". I think he is saying there won't be a new chest type.

Read it again. He said "It won't be a new crate", not "they won't come from new crates". What he means is that they are not adding a new type of crate to the game just to drop these. They are simply adding Hammermaw as a possible item to the current crates, which will continue to drop even after the patch.

Adding HammerJaw to the Crate drop table, easy enough to do.

Watch the rate of the pet in chests be so low that it takes more like 300 plat (20 chests) to get one.

It says that it's nearly impossible to get. I hope it won't be a 200+ Platinum waste. Maybe making the crates 5 platinum to open, would be better. Or a platinum sale, no?

I had a few PMs asking for further clarification about which Crates Hammerjaw will be in. Here is a more explicit breakdown:

Hammerjaw is not in any Crate until after tomorrow's patch (because he's not in the game yet).

Hammerjaw will be added to the existing list of possible things you can get out of a Crate. As such, if you get a Crate today and wait until after tomorrow's patch to open it, when you do open it, you will have a chance to find Hammerjaw's egg inside that Crate.

There are no new Crates being added.

Is that clear enough? Hopefully! If you still have a question, please post a specific example and we'll clarify. Thanks!

Has everything you could get in a Crate the same chance or is there a difference ?

So if there are 100 different things, everything has 1 % ? Or some things 2 % and others 0.5 % ?

What bothers me is, why have Mystic rarity if we are jumping to Arcane already, and both have horrible stats and being used just for Pets.

Hoping that's the plan for Cap raise, just doubt it will be super rare or on another loot table from the others. (Non-Chest)

Pets rarity really mean anything? Pets eggs used to show all diff colours on the rarity scale and it added a little meaning to them, now all show as Pink when they aren't Legendary. Just seems like a mess to me, sticking with Mali/Hort/Granite anyways.

Perfect amount....for me to open hundreds of crates only to find either:

1) No mythic pet
2) Dozens of them

Both would be bad in my book. A 1-1.5% chance would be appropriate IMHO.

Looks cool but worried that it will take 250-1000 plat before one comes out (Random gamble plat packs, you know what i mean) or worse, some poor person opening crates to failure after failure to get what they really want. On a lighter note, before people give up on it, the watch weapons should come down in price with all the crates getting opened by the gotta have it crowd.
I'd like one and i may try once, but I ain't chasing the dragon for it.

Lower price = more people getting plat to try and open the crates. Especially when the drop rate for the egg will be hella low.
