Blue Essence is an important currency in League of Legends, used to purchase Champions or additional rune pages. It was previously known as IP. We at MeinMMO will tell you how to get Blue Essence quickly.
How to quickly obtain Blue Essence? The fastest and easiest way is through account level ups in the game (Summoner level).
For each level up from level 5, you receive a Champion Capsule. This provides at least 270 and up to 725 Blue Essence through direct rewards and the disenchanted Champion shards.
Alternatives include:
- First win of the day – Grants you 50 Blue Essence and resets every 20 hours
- Hextech Chests – Also grant you Champion shards, but only with luck
- Quests during an event
- Tokens from an event that can be exchanged for Blue Essence along with special rewards like icons or ward skins
Earn Blue Essence through Level-Ups
How does this work exactly? For each level up from level 5, you get a Champion Capsule. Each capsule contains:
- 1-3 random Champion shards
- Irregularly as a bonus between 90 and 260 Blue Essence
From level 30, there is additionally a Glorious Champion Capsule every 10 levels, which guarantees rare and multiple Champion shards. Up to 2,120 Blue Essence are possible in one capsule.
The Champion shards have three functions, two of which provide or save you Blue Essence:
- On one hand, you can unlock the respective Champion for less Blue Essence than usual using the shard. Vayne, who usually costs 4,800 Blue Essence, can thus be unlocked for 2,880 Essence.
- On the other hand, you can disenchant the Champion shard. This directly provides you with a lot of Blue Essence.
- Thirdly, you can use the shard and temporarily unlock the respective Champion for 7 days. However, this is usually not worthwhile.
The amount of Blue Essence depends on the price of the Champion in the shop. Sivir costs 450 Blue Essence and gives only 90 when disenchanted. Vayne, on the other hand, costs 4,800 Blue Essence and the shard can be disenchanted for 960 Essence.
How do I level up fast in LoL? You gain the most experience per game minute in ARAMs, a special game mode where players only play on one lane and must play a random Champion.
For the first win of the day, you also get 450 experience points, which you should try to take advantage of daily if possible.
Until level 10, you also receive full experience points in matches against bots. So if you want to effectively level a new account early on, you can do this through bot matches at the beginning.
The shop also offers EP boosts from Riot Games:
- There are boosts that simply provide more experience overall. These last between 1 and 14 days.
- There are boosts that only provide additional experience for a win. These last between 3 and 40 wins.
Get Blue Essence without Level-Ups
How do the alternative methods work? The first win of the day is probably self-explanatory. It does not matter which mode (Normal, Ranked, or ARAM) you choose, but you must win against real players, not bots.
The Hextech Chests, on the other hand, are a bit trickier:
- You receive Hextech Chests,
- when you achieve rank S in a match against other players.
- with some luck if another player on your team achieves S.
- through special event quests.
- The keys for the chests are earned through the Honor system.
- However, Hextech Chests and keys can also be bought in the shop for real money.
The seasonal rewards, on the other hand, depend on the currently running events.
Champions, Chromas, and the Essence Wonderland
What do I need Blue Essence for? The currency Blue Essence is primarily used to purchase Champions. However, even if you already own all (favorite) Champions, you can buy useful content with the essence:
- Additional rune pages
- Improved Champion Masteries at level 6 or 7
- Chromas for certain skins
- Changing the Summoner name
In addition, the event “Essence Wonderland” takes place every year. Here, you can find particularly many Chromas, Icons, Emotes, and even an exclusive skin that you can only buy with Blue Essence. The event takes place every May/June and during the pre-season in November.
