TABLE OF CONTENTS
Welcome to our next variety patch! We’ve received some feedback that it’s a bit hard to quickly see which changes affect Standard and which affect Eternal. We’ve separated them into two sections for this patch!
Last variety patch we were light on Standard changes, but this time we want to make sure we dethrone Sump Monument and some other meta decks so the meta can continue to evolve alongside Eternal.
Updates will be live August 16th by 11:00am PT.
Tons of Card Adjustments (check out the full patch notes)
Competitive
The last Runeterra Open of this Split will be Eternal to go along with Eternal Ranked! Join the fray on 9|2 – 9|3!
The field has now been set for competitors in the Mystery Event. That means winners of future Runeterra Opens will no longer qualify for the event. We’re working on getting the logistics and structure of the event together, so expect more details on the event in the coming months.
System Update
Emporium
Welcome to Legend of Runeterra’s new shop, personalized to YOU! Emporium features four different types of offers, from Common to Legendary, with a mix of Green Shards, Coins, and Stardust purchase options.
Editor’s Note: More on Stardust later! It’s a shiny new currency!
Emporium FAQ
Q: Will I be able to obtain cosmetics that were special event cosmetics, including items from previous battle passes?
A: Yes! These items have a chance to appear in your Emporium. The most sure-fire way to get a cosmetic from the battle pass is to purchase it when it’s live and active.
Q: Are battle pass items available right away in the Emporium?
A: No. In order to maintain the prestige of the Battle Pass, items will have a cooldown period before they can appear in your Emporium. You’ll be able to show off that you unlocked it first for a bit!
Q: How will battle pass items be priced when they appear in the Emporium?
A: TLDR is that it will be much cheaper to buy a cosmetic via the battle pass. You’ll have a chance to snag it in the Emporium in the future, but it’ll cost more!
Q: I don’t play Path of Champions, will I still get PoC items in my Emporium?
A: Sometimes! But your Emporium will be heavily weighted to reflect how you play. If you don’t play Path much, Path specific offers will appear less often. If you only play Path, more will show up!
Q: Will cosmetics gained from competition such as Runeterra Opens, or Gauntlets appear in the Emporium?
A: No. These are indicators of your accomplishments and won’t be obtainable via the Emporium.
Q: How often does the Emporium update?
A: There are different tiers of rarity, each with their own update frequency. Check out your own Emporium and see the handy timers that show you when the next reset is coming.
Path of Champions
With the introduction of the Emporium, we’re adding a few new things to Path of Champions: Stardust and Epic Relics.
Golden Reliquaries
- Can be purchased with Stardust from the Emporium
- Contains one “Epic Quest (Consumable)” and a random unowned Epic Relic.
- If all Epic Relics are owned, then it will contain three Quest Relics
Epic Relics
- New relics for TPoC that are very powerful
- Only ten exist (currently) and you cannot own duplicates.
- Can only be equipped to Epic Relic Slots which are unlocked via the “Epic Quest (Consumable)”
Epic Quest (Consumable)
- New consumable relic that grants players a quest to upgrade a single Rare Relic slot to an Epic Relic slot for a single Champion.
- Can only be acquired from a Golden Reliquary
- Beat a 3+Star Adventure with this equipped into a Rare Relic slot and it should disappear and the slot will now be converted into an Epic Relic slot!
Stardust
Duplicate champion fragments and relics will be converted to Stardust. Stardust can be used to purchase Golden Reliquaries, or to buy some Path of Champions specific items that are offered in the Emporium.
