in League of Legends

The new currency, Mythic Essence, is now in LoL. Skin prices, their rotations, commemorating the owners of Prestige Editions

Official information regarding changes to Mythic content. Skins cost, how often will they appear in the store, and much more.

With patch 12.6, a massive update to Prestige Points has hit League of Legends today. They were combined with the Gems to form a Mythic Essence. So a lot has changed in the Hextech Workshop.

Players will no longer drop Prestige and Hextech skins from the workshop. Additionally, they will be available for purchase only for a limited period of time and without frames, and this is only the first phase of the project. How does it work now and what can the League community expect soon?

Mythic Essence in LoL

Gemstones and Prestige Points are combining into a single new currency that never expires: Mythic Essence! Mythic Essence—ME for short—can be obtained everywhere Gemstones or Prestige Points were previously earned. You can spend Mythic Essence in the Mythic Shop for special skins, accessories, and more.

  • Welcome Gift – All players will receive a one-time mission on March 31, 2022 that rewards 10 Mythic Essence to celebrate the launch of the new system! This mission will expire on May 2, 2022.
  • Gemstones? Shattered – All Gemstones in player inventories have automatically been converted to 10 Mythic Essence each
  • Prestige Points? Expired – Prestige Points (2020) have expired and were removed from inventories on March 24, 2022
  • Masterwork Drop Rates –  Mythic Essence drop rates from Masterwork Chests have been increased to offset the removal of Prestige Points from chest bundles

Mythic Shop

The new Mythic Shop features content that rotates on a regular basis, including the return of past Prestige skins!

Mythic Skins & Accessories

Mythic skins and accessories in the Mythic Shop will rotate every three months (every 6 patches). New Mythic skins debut at 100 ME and will cost 125 ME in future unvaults. Legacy Mythic skins that were once purchasable via Gemstones (such as Hextech Annie, Soulstealer Vayne, etc.) will also be available in the shop and cost 100 ME on first unvault, and 125 ME on future ones. Here’s what’s on offer for this patch rotation, as well as other options that will be available year-round.

Mythic Skins & Accessories (Patch 12.6-12.12 Rotation)

  • Ashen Knight Pyke (100 ME)
  • Ashen Knight Pyke Emberwoken Chroma + Ashen Knight Pyke Summoner Icon (40 ME)
  • “I’m Comin’ For Ya” Emote (25 ME)
  • Hextech Annie (100 ME)
  • Hextech Amumu (100 ME)

Mythic Accessories & Other Options (Available Year-Round)

  • Ashen Ward (50 ME)
  • Random Skin Shard (10 ME)
  • 50 Orange Essence (1 ME)
  • 150 Blue Essence (1 ME)

*Note: We’ve added the Random Skin Shard option and removed the Hextech Chest and Hextech Key options since our original announcement.

Unvaulted Prestige Skins

Prestige skins can only appear in the Mythic Shop at least one year after their original release. They’ll cost 125 ME the first time they’re offered in the Mythic Shop, 150 ME on the second, and 200 ME if they’ve been unvaulted three or more times.*

Usually two Prestige skins will be unvaulted at a time and will be available in the Mythic Shop for one month (2 patches). However, to celebrate the new shop’s launch, we’re unvaulting six Prestige skins that will be available for three months (6 patches)!

Harmonogram Mitycznego Sklepu

Annual Mythic Content: A new ward theme and skin will be released annually.
6-patch mythic content: Released every 6 patches: March, June, September, and December.
Monthly Prestige Return: Every 2 patches, two Prestige skins return, replacing the previous two previous ones.
Mythic Shop Prestige Launch: A Prestige new skin debuts in the Mythic Shop (sometimes with the demo) and is available for 2 patches, then dropped from the rotation. This is not tied to any regular schedule and can happen at any point during the year.

  • Prestige Spirit Blossom Teemo (125 ME)
  • Prestige Battle Queen Diana (125 ME)
  • Prestige PROJECT: Irelia (150 ME)

  • Prestige K/DA Kai’Sa (200 ME)
*Note: Prestige skins from 2018 and 2019 start at higher tiers to respect original owners who obtained them when they were more exclusive before the overhaul.

Commemorative Prestige Skins

To recognize the higher investment required to obtain Prestige skins in 2018 and 2019, players who owned these skins before patch 12.5 will receive additional, exclusive 2022 editions of these skins. Commemorative Prestige skins will never be available via shops, loot, or rerolls. The following skins will be gradually distributed to original owners over the next month:

  • Prestige Blood Moon Aatrox (2022)
  • Prestige K/DA Ahri (2022)
  • Prestige K/DA Akali (2022)
  • Prestige Arcade Caitlyn (2022)
  • Prestige K/DA Evelynn (2022)
  • Prestige Fuzz Fizz (2022)
  • Prestige K/DA Kai’Sa (2022)
  • Prestige Nightbringer Lee Sin (2022)
  • Prestige Battle Academia Lux (2022)
  • Prestige Bewitching Miss Fortune (2022)
  • Prestige Star Guardian Neeko (2022)
  • Prestige Firecracker Vayne (2022)
  • Prestige PROJECT: Irelia (2022)
  • Prestige Valiant Sword Riven (2022)
  • Prestige Pulsefire Thresh (2022)
  • Prestige True Damage Qiyana (2022)

Exclusive Mythic and Prestige Skin Debuts

To highlight the release of new Mythic and Prestige skins, limited edition loading screen borders and summoner icons can now only be obtained by purchasing the skin in the Mythic Shop or event Token Shop during the skin’s initial debut period. Once a Mythic or Prestige skin is no longer available in these shops, it will be added to the regular loot drop and skin shard reroll pools without the limited edition loading screen border and summoner icon. This means that Mythic and Prestige skins can still be obtained via loot drops or skin rerolls but only AFTER their debut period ends, and WITHOUT their matching borders and icons.*Note: This is another change from our original plan of removing Mythic and Prestige skins from loot drops and rerolls permanently, based on player feedback. This option grants players exclusive content for unlocking skins during debut periods and also allows collectors to obtain these skins via loot and rerolls without needing to wait for them to unvault.

Phase 2 Update

All of the above announcements are just Phase 1 of the Mythic Content Overhaul! While we’re not launching Phase 2 just yet, we do have one big update to share regarding Showcase and Masterwork Milestones, which are reward tracks that will replace much of what was offered through Prestige Points in the past.

We’ve adjusted our plans for Showcase Milestones, and Prestige skins that debut during Showcases will be available for purchase in the Mythic Shop for 125 ME rather than as the final reward of a Showcase Milestone track! Once the Showcase ends, the Prestige skin will immediately retire from the Mythic Shop and become available via loot drops and rerolls without its border and icon, just like other vaulted Prestige skins. We’ll be adjusting the Showcase milestone rewards track to accommodate this update.

And last but not least, don’t forget—there’s also a Phase 3 of the Mythic Content Overhaul! Stay tuned for more details later this year.

Hextech Rentals

Unrelated to the above, we’re removing the ability to activate loot shards to rent champions, skins, and ward skins for 7 days. Virtually no one used the rental system; many players didn’t even know it existed (heh). Any rentals that are currently active will still stay active for their remaining duration.

The ability to upgrade shards into permanents, reroll them into permanents, or disenchant them into essence is not affected by any of these changes.
