Do I have the chance to get a torchbug or bantam guar?

jsjem · July 2023

I started playing since the anniversary last year, but haven't got a chance to get them no matter in the crown store or twich rewards. There was a normal bantam guar in the crown store for a short time last year, but I hesitated and missed that cause I preferred those not so common. I find the Deadlands Bantam Guar is a part of the Deadlands Collector's Bundle, is that only available for a short time? I can't find it in my crown store. I also have done a lot of stupid twitter retweets but all failed to get them.

The bundle may return in the future, but such returns are very infrequent, and generally only happen during celebration events (and even then, not often).

The basic bantam had not been seen in years either before that recent return.

There was also a hot pepper bantam that was released to all active players as a reward for the Elsweyr reveal stream hitting a viewer threshold.

There's a blue Coldharbour bantam guar as a daily reward. A small chance for it to return in crown crates, but don't rely on that. The others have not.

A white Atmoran bantam guar was made available for redeemers of a code given out to players who completed a survey, but few received such e-mails so it is extremely rare.

A hot-blooded bantam guar was made available to in-person atendees of events in 2019. Rare.

The eerie violet bantam guar was made available through codes given out by select streamers. Not seen since.

Though it's possible, I would not anticipate the stream rewards making a return. But I would anticipate a new bantam guar variant emerging at some point. I've not seen any new ones in the data mines yet, but I would still be confident of that. My money is on a spectral ghost bantam guar showing up at some point. Keep an eye on the stream announcements, especially during expansion and DLC releases. Next one will probably be late summer or early autumn when the infinite dungeon activity is revealed, though there are no known new bantam guars in the offing just yet.

Torchbugs have a similar release schedule. We've had a few different colours, the standard yellow-green one has had a few unusual appearances. We've also had red, which was a free gift to everyone; purple, which was a twitch reveal stream giveaway; and pink, which was a stream code giveaway. Those are probably not coming back. But we also have blue and white ones in the files which have yet to be released, so pay attention to the announcements to hear about those.

Good news! You can get a torchbug right now if you have a level 10 Arcanist thanks to the Ascent of the Arcanist event. https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/64413

Update 25 back in 2020 required that the entire game be re-downloaded, which is an inconvenience to players at the best of times. As a thank you to their patience (or an apology for the inconvenience) a free gift was made available to players in February and March of that year which contained the Crimson Torchbug. That has been the only way to acquire it. Given the circumstances, the likelihood of it returning any time soon seems quite unlikely.

However, if you have the Necrom DLC and start an Arcanist character, you can now get the basic yellow torchbug for free as a gift as part of the Ascent of the Arcanist event, if you progress your Arcanist to level 10 before July 28th, the Friday after next at time of posting. Another appearance under unusual circumstances, as is standard for the Devoted Torchbug pet. I finally got mine today.
