That has all been changed with the introduction of Mythic Essence. In this guide, I will show you how to get Mythic Essence in League of Legends.
How to Get Mythic Essence in League Of Legends
In League of Legends v12.6, Gemstones & Prestige Points and been combined into one currency, i.e. Mythic Essence. With this change, the shops that used the prior two currencies have changed to the Mythic Shop. It is a currency used in unlocking the Mythic tier content in Hextech Crafting. If you are a player that wants amazing Cosmetics, then you will have to collect a lot of Mythic Essences. Here are some of the ways you can get Mythic Essence in League of Legends.
- Before the update, if you had any amounts of Gemstones then those will get converted into the new Mythic Essence. The conversion rate for Gemstones to Mythic Essence is 10:1. The amount you will get here is low but if you had a lot of Gemstones, then you will get a good headstart.
