Blue Essence is the primary currency that’s used in League of Legends alongside Riot Points. The big difference is that Blue Essence can be obtained freely by leveling up (alongside other things we’ll explain later), while you’ll have to pay for Riot Points if you want to use them to buy new champions, skins or other cosmetics.
How do you earn Blue Essence
There’s actually multiple ways to earn Blue Essence, so let’s take a look at all the ways you can obtain it.
