Acquiring Mythic Essence in League of Legends is achieved through various avenues within the game. Key sources include opening Masterwork Chests, progressing through event passes, and reaching certain milestones in the Honor system. Completing missions during specific in-game events often rewards this currency. For example, an event pass might offer Mythic Essence upon reaching a certain level of completion, while Masterwork Chests have a small, but significant, chance to drop it as bonus content.
This rare currency enables players to unlock prestigious cosmetic items, such as Mythic skins, previously available event-exclusive content, and other unique rewards from the Mythic Shop. Its introduction simplified the acquisition of high-value cosmetic content, replacing the Gemstone system and offering a more direct path to obtaining desired items. The system provides players with a tangible goal to strive for and a guaranteed method, albeit sometimes requiring significant time investment, to secure coveted cosmetic unlocks.
