The deal gets much better if you get some bonuses, and you’re likely to because of the possibility of the Revel Grab Bag. That brings the price per shard of the entire bundle down by about 17 percent. This bundle costs only 500 RP more than two of those bundles, but you get seven extra shards. This is a significantly better deal when compared to the 2,500 RP bundle of 11 boxes.
This is the first time the price of a guaranteed skin shard has been below 200 RP. The bundle costs 189 RP per shard If you get zero bonus orbs or Grab Bags, which is a small premium over the cost of a regular Hextech box for the benefit of excluding most of the least desirable outcomes from the loot pool.
This bundle contains 24 of the Revel orbs, plus a Revel Grab Bag that contains five more skin shards. You probably buy RP in larger increments if you’re considering this bundle, so that’s $36.67. This box costs $42.30 at that price, but Riot gives you an extra 2,000 RP if you buy $100 at once, meaning you get 150 RP per dollar. I’ve been converting RP prices to dollars at an exchange rate of 130 RP to $1. This year, on top of the regular $19.25 bundle of 11 of these orbs, Riot is offering a “Lunar Legendary Bundle,” which costs 5,500 RP.
Regular, year-round Hextech boxes cost 1,950 RP ($15) for a bundle of 11, or 177 RP ($1.35) each. They let you buy a random skin for a champion you own for 490 RP ($3.75), or a random skin for a champion you own from the 975 or higher RP tiers for 790 RP ($6).Īlternatively, there’s Hextech Crafting: loot boxes that yield “shards” of champions or cosmetics that can be upgraded using currencies called essence, or dismantled to obtain essence. Also, some of the game’s best skins - including event-linked Legacy Skins, Legendary (1,820 RP or $14) and Ultimate (3,250 RP or $25) tier skins, and anything released in the last six months - are not included in half-price sale rotations.įor the rest of the skins - or for folks who are impatient - there are Mystery Skins, also only available during some events. Riot offers a selection of skins for half-price every week, but with over 700 skins in the game, you might have to wait a while for the one you want to go on sale. The vast majority of new skins have been priced at 1,350 Riot Points, or about $10. So if you only play a few characters, or if you don’t like gambling, you can just buy the skins you want. Riot added a loot system to League of Legends’ existing a-la-carte cosmetics store in 2016. But, as is usually the case with these kinds of things, you’re going to have to spend a significant chunk of change if you want the best goodies. This deal contains arguably the best sale Riot Games has done for Hextech assets if you’re a player who likes gambling on skins. 19, and that means a new sale on its Hextech Crafting loot assets. League of Legends is running its Lunar Revel event for the Lunar New Year through Feb.
