Learn about Prestige Points in League of Legends. How they were obtained, what they unlocked, and their eventual replacement by Mythic Essence.
Hey there! So you're curious about Prestige Points, huh? They were a special currency in League of Legends, around from patch V9.1 all the way until V12.5. Think of them as a way to snag some really cool, limited-edition stuff like prestige skins, icons, wards, and emotes. They were also tied into the Hextech Crafting system. Heads up: Prestige Points have been retired and replaced by Mythic Essence. So, while this guide is for historical context, you won't be earning new Prestige Points in the game anymore. ### Obtaining Prestige Points Riot Games did tweak how these points were earned over time. For instance, they announced changes to how Prestige Skins would be earned to make sure players didn't feel forced to choose between a Prestige Skin or other rewards. This led to a transitional period where events in the first half of 2021 continued to reward 2020 Prestige Points, and there weren't any unique 2021 Prestige Points. The old system wrapped up with an expanded 2020 Prestige Shop that included *all* Prestige content from both 2020 and 2021. Here's a look at how you could have earned them: * Masterwork Chest bundles * Milestone Missions * Events: This was a big one! You could earn points from various events like: * Mecha Kingdoms 2020 * Galaxies 2020 * Pulsefire 2020 * Spirit Blossom 2020 * PsyOps 2020 * Worlds 2020 * Lunar Beasts 2021 * Space Groove 2021 * PROJECT 2021 * Rise of the Sentinels * Coven 2021 * Night & Dawn 2021 * Worlds 2021 * Prestige Points and Icon Bundles For the older 2019 Points, you could earn them through: * Masterwork Chest bundles * Milestone Missions * Events: * Lunar Revel 2019 * Trials 2019 * Arcade 2019 * PROJECT 2019 * Worlds 2019 * Night and Dawn 2019 * Prestige Points and Icon Bundles * 10th Anniversary Event missions series: Completing the 7th mission here actually gave you !25 Prestige Points25 Prestige Points! ### Prestige Point Shop When you bought skins from the Prestige Point Shop, they wouldn't include their loading screen border. The shop had different sales, including: * 2020 Shop * 2020-Extended Sale * End-of-2020 Sale * End-of-2019 Sale * 2019 Shop These points and the skins they unlocked were available until 2020 Prestige Points expired in January 2022.
