Event Currency
Legends of Runeterra frequently features limited-time events that offer unique rewards, including cosmetic items and valuable in-game resources. A key component of these events is the introduction of special event currency, which You can earn through gameplay and then spend in a dedicated event shop.
Event currency is a vital part of the limited-time events that regularly grace Legends of Runeterra. These currencies are typically unique to each event, meaning they cannot be carried over to future events. This encourages players to actively participate during the event's duration to maximize their rewards. The primary way to earn event currency is by playing games, whether in standard PvP modes, the Path of Champions, or specific event challenges. The amount of currency earned often scales with performance, such as winning games or completing daily quests related to the event.
Earning Event Currency:
- Playing Games: Simply playing matches in any game mode will contribute to your event currency gains. Winning games usually yields more currency than losing.
- Completing Event Quests: Each event comes with a set of unique quests that often require specific actions, like playing certain champions or using particular card types. Completing these quests offers significant bursts of event currency.
- Event Pass Progression: Many events are tied to an Event Pass. Purchasing the premium version of the pass often unlocks bonus event currency gains and a more lucrative reward track, including exclusive cosmetic items.
- Daily Login Bonuses: Sometimes, logging in daily during an event can grant small amounts of event currency as a bonus.
Spending Event Currency:
Once you've accumulated a good amount of event currency, you can head to the dedicated event shop. Here, you'll find several items available for purchase:
- Cosmetic Items: This is the primary draw for most players. You can often find unique card backs, emotes, guardians, board skins, and champion skins that are exclusive to the event.
- Wildcards: These are essential for crafting cards. Event currency can sometimes be used to purchase wildcards of various rarities, helping you complete your card collection.
- Shards: The game's primary crafting currency. While less common, some events might offer shards as a purchase option.
- Gold: The in-game currency used to purchase card bundles and other items from the main store.
Example: During the 'Star Guardian' event, players might earn 'Star Dust' by playing games and completing Star Guardian-themed quests. This Star Dust could then be spent in the Star Guardian shop on exclusive Star Guardian card backs, guardians, and even champion skins.
It's crucial to check the event details regularly to understand how to best earn and spend your event currency. Prioritize the rewards that are most valuable to you, whether that's completing your collection with wildcards or acquiring rare cosmetic items before the event concludes and the currency becomes unusable.
