Season 3: Act 1 Battle Pass

If you’ve been here before, you know the drill: the Battle Pass is always a great opportunity to get your hands on some sweet loot! The fun of the game is its own reward, but who doesn't love a few goodies?? So check out this Act’s pass content below to find out what you can get.

As always, all players have access to the free battle pass rewards. If you want to unlock the paid content you earn along the way, however, you'll have to grab one of the passes below:

Paid passes can be purchased for as long as objectives are live and even for 24 hours after they're closed, giving you a chance to cash in once the dust has settled. Wait any longer than that, and you'll have to settle for your pile of free loot.

Battle Pass Content

Battle Pass Content is spread across 48 milestones, +8 repeatable milestones that players old and new can farm as much as their hearts desire (that is, until Act I ends, of course). Remember: Bolded Rewards can only be claimed with a paid pass, while un-bolded ones are free - provided you've earned them with your blood, sweat, and tears first.

Each milestone requires 500 Battle Pass XP (BXP), which you can earn by completing the objectives listed further on.

If you're near the end of the Act and find yourself a few milestones short of some coveted content, don't worry! You can always purchase Battle Pass levels for 95 RP each.

Enchanting Mystery Pool

Play it casually or like a pro, but play with style. Literally! If you’re looking to give your favorite champs a glam up, you’ve come to the right place. With each skin you claim, you’ve got a chance to pull one of the charming looks below to call your own. You can also purchase Enchanting Mystery Skin Loot Items directly in the League Store for 850 RP each.

Objectives

Whether it's your first match or your 1000th, you earn XP for the Battle Pass just by playing the way you love. Every battle counts in any matchmade game mode (including Co-op VS AI).

BXP For Time Spent Playing

Every minute of every game earns Battle Pass XP, regardless of the outcome.

Daily Objective

Your daily objective couldn't be simpler: play a game, get some BXP! It can be completed just once per day and resets every day at 11:00am PT:

Weekly Objective

Every week brings with it new opportunities to earn BXP with four weekly objectives. Two of these "Weeklies" are selected at random from a hidden pool of unique objectives, while the others are fixed, including a "Weekly Venture" that can be completed by playing just about any of League's matchmade modes—including League Classic and TFT!

• Each completed random weekly objective gives you 300 BXP
• Each completed fixed weekly objective gives you either 500 BXP (play games) or 700 BXP (earn points) instead

Don't forget: Weekly Missions can stack! Each set of objectives is available for 3 weeks. Every Wednesday at 11:00am PT you get a fresh batch of four new objectives and if you haven’t completed the previous set of objectives yet, you will have additional time to catch up!

Here is a sample of what your first week might look like. Remember: It's different for everybody and changes every week!

• Excluding the Weekly Venture objective, all objectives must be cleared by playing standard League matches, and only grant progression towards the Season 3: Act 1 Battle Pass. For details about League Classic progression, check our dedicated article instead.

Event Objectives

These objectives line up with special events that happen throughout the season, giving you time-limited opportunities to engage the seasonal thematic for BXP and other unique rewards. These are constantly changing as the season evolves, so be sure to check your Activity Center and objectives list whenever a new event begins.
As many of you know by now, we’re introducing a new experience for you during this season! It’s a blast from the past, but at the same time, a brand new adventure: League of Legends Classic releases soon, and of course we wanna celebrate with these special Event Objectives:

Patch 26.15 Release

More to come!

We’ve got even more events in store for this act. Some experiences will be accessible from the thematic page timeline even after the event ends, so you'll be able to revisit those moments and/or catch up if you joined later.

However, time-limited rewards can only be earned while the event is active, so try to participate before they end!

Mastery Objectives

Demonstrating champion Mastery gives a big boost to your Battle Pass progression every Act. You'll be rewarded the first time you hit Mastery milestone IV during the Act (just once per Act!) and then for reaching multiple Mastery milestones.

Honor Objectives

Playing well is one thing, but playing with Honor is another.

A player’s effort in the game is always respectable—and that includes the effort to give your teammates your best. That’s why you can earn rewards from two Honor Objectives. You can only make progress on one objective at a time, and they must be completed in order.

Earning Honor Points

How quickly you progress down the Honor Objective track depends on your honor level. You'll also only get points for League of Legends PvP matches, because we haven't programmed our bots to understand morality…
…yet.

Summoner’s Orbs, Grab Bags, Exclusive Packs and Bundles

If you haven't been here since the early days of LoL, you may have missed back in 2016 when Skin Shards became a thing. Shards are used as crafting materials to unlock champions and skins. If you’d like to collect them, you should definitely take a look at the new bundles this Season’s first Act brings!

Open to reveal a guaranteed random Skin Shard with a chance to obtain a Chaos Grab Bag. A single Summoner’s Orb contains 1 random Skin Shard. Each orb has a 5.4% chance to drop 10 Mythic Essence and a 3.5% chance to drop a Chaos Grab Bag.  The Order Exclusive Pack can only be purchased with the Summoner’s Mega Orb Bundle listed below.

	Chaos Grab Bag GUARANTEED 3 Skin Shards worth 975 RP or more (70%) OR 4 Skin Shards worth 1350 RP or less (30%) BONUS CHANCE 10 Mythic Essence (5.4%)
	Order Exclusive Pack GUARANTEED 3 Skin Shards worth 1350 RP or less (75%) OR 4 Skin Shards worth 975 RP or more (20%) OR 6 Random Skin Shards (5%) BONUS CHANCE 10 Mythic Essence (5.4%)

Sanctum Content

For those of you who still don’t know, the Sanctum is where you can purchase Ancient Sparks for 400 RP each, which you then use for a shot at a variety of special rewards.

Some of the items you can win are totally unique to the Sanctum and can't be earned anywhere else, like an exclusive lobby banner, Paragon chromas, and even the return of Divine God-King Darius and Fallen God-King Garen skins.

Others can also be purchased as usual from the shop with RP, but you'll never pull multiples of this rare content! Whether you purchase it outright or win it with a pull, once it's yours, it's out of your prize pool. Other more common content like random icons, emotes, and Mythic Essence will always be part of your prize pool. 

If you've managed to get your hands on EVERYTHING, you'll still get some Mythic Essence with each pull.

Buy a few Ancient Sparks you didn't end up using? Don't sweat it! You can hold onto them to take your shot the next time a Sanctum release comes around.
