RUNES FEATURED ABOVE ARE WORKS IN PROGRESS.
EXPECT TO SEE UPDATES THROUGHOUT PBE AND BEYOND.
LEVEL BEYOND 30
We're removing the level 30 cap, and the new cap is… infinity! We're also replacing the IP grind with a revamped rewards system that levels up with you.
LEVEL UP, GET LOOT
Instead of getting IP after every game, you'll receive an unlocked chest each time you level up. Capsules contain champ shards and blue essence, and if you hit special milestone levels, you'll earn special rewards like gemstones or rare emotes.
LEVEL UP, GET LOOT
IP TURNS BLUE
To tie all these changes together, we're connecting the leveling and loot systems by merging IP and blue essence. The newer, bluer essence will work in all the places IP and BE worked before, including loot and the champion store. And everything in the store will cost the same as it did in the old, IP-based system—for example, it'll be 6300 BE for a newer champ like Kayn.
VETERAN REWARDS
You've put in serious hours on the Rift. Show off your veteran status with an exclusive emote. The more you've played, the better your emote will be.
With runes soon becoming free, we want to show our appreciation for those of you who've spent the most on runes over the years. So, for every rune or rune page you bought before the 2017 season began, we'll give you a little blue gift. Runes purchased during the 2017 season will be fully refunded.
* You’ll get to keep your rune pages in the new system.
ENTER THE ESSENCE EMPORIUM
The transition will leave some of you with more blue essence than you know what to do with, so we've got something extra planned. At the start of Preseason, after converting your IP into blue essence, we'll open up a limited-time blue essence store. You’ll be able to purchase things like ward skins, chromas, and (especially for veterans) a few super-rare items like the URFWick skin.
