In League of Legends Patch 12.6, players were introduced to a significant overhaul to the game’s Mythic content system, with the biggest change coming to the gemstones that all players should be familiar with.
Gemstones and prestige points have been removed and replaced by Mythic Essence, a new type of currency that will never expire. Mythic Essence can be used to buy special skins, accessories, and other unique items in the client’s loot tab via the special Mythic Essence shop.
Luckily for the player base, getting this rare currency is pretty straightforward.
How to get Mythic Essence in League of Legends?
You can find Mythic Essence in every place that you used to find gemstones and prestige points, like regular Hextech chests, Masterwork chests, and the various orbs that you can earn or buy in the game, according to Riot Games.
Additionally, any gemstones that were in a player’s inventory were automatically changed into 10 Mythic Essence each, and any prestige points that were in a user’s inventory expired back on March 24. The essence drop rate in Masterwork chests has also been increased to offset the removal of prestige points.
Players can earn five Mythic Essence each month by claiming Prime Gaming drops, too. This can be done via the official Prime Gaming website, where players must link their Amazon and League accounts. Claiming the drop will add a Prime Capsule directly to players’ inventories, containing five Mythic Essence and a multitude of other goodies.
To kick off the new system, League players got a one-time mission on March 31 that gave out 10 Mythic Essence and expired on May 2. In the Mythic shop, players will have access to prestige skins that range in price from 100 to 200 Mythic Essence. The shop will also contain a collection of limited-time items that will rotate periodically. This set of items, for example, rotated when Patch 12.12 went live on June 23.
