This guide is structured by game and includes item IDs where available for verification.

StarCraft II Rewards
Co-op Commander and Skins
The BlizzCon 2017 commander and corresponding Warfield skins were account-bound and usable across all three StarCraft II core titles.
| Item | Item ID | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BlizzCon 2017 Commander | unknown | Co-op Commander | Veteran AI behavior |

How to Claim
In StarCraft II, go to Collection > Boosts and Heroes to redeem. Server region must match the ticket region to unlock the content.
Hearthstone Rewards
Card Back and Recollection
The BlizzCon 2017 card back and the Recollection badge are account-bound collectibles. The card back is purely cosmetic with no effect on matchmaking or Arena balance.
| Item | Item ID | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BlizzCon 2017 Card Back | TGT_031 | Card Back | Non-tradable |
| BlizzCon 2017 Recollection Badge | unknown | Achievement Badge | Displays on profile |
Verification
Open Hearthstone, navigate to Collection > Card Backs to confirm. Badge visibility may take a short delay after authentication with Battle.net.
Diablo III and Other Titles
Diablo III attendees received cosmetic sets and recipe items. While some cosmetics are usable on stash items, recipe items are character-bound and apply only when applicable. Specific rewards varied by purchase channel (physical badge vs virtual ticket). Other Blizzard titles may have included trials or time-limited boosts; such items are documented only where official records are public.
Regional and Technical Notes
Region-locking is enforced; items obtained in the North America Battle.net region will not activate on European profiles. If cross-region play is intended, acquire items in the target region or use localized accounts. Client version must be current to display and use rewards without errors.
Collector Notes and Preservation
- Items remain on account for the duration of Battle.net service; no subscription required for retention.
- Item IDs and names can change in client updates; verify via in-game collection windows rather than third-party databases.
- Physical attendance codes were single-use and non-transferable; lost items are not replaceable.
Eligibility and Access Troubleshooting
If expected items do not appear, confirm purchase region, perform a full client update, and use in-game inventory commands. Persistent issues should be directed to Blizzard Support with ticketed event proof where possible. Note that item functionality is tied to active game versions and may be adjusted in future patches.
