League of Legends RP & Skin Price Guide: How Much RP Do You Need?

2026-06-20 11:04:37 | Written by Alfred

Riot Points (RP) are how you unlock skins, champions, chromas and event passes in League of Legends — and unlike Blue Essence, RP can only be bought with real money. This guide shows exactly how much RP each skin tier costs, what you need for the things you want, and how to top up RP for less from verified stores.

LoL skin price tiers (in RP)

Tier	RP	What you get
Budget	520 / 750	Recolours and older, simpler skins
Standard	975	New model and theme
Epic	1,350	New model, VFX, SFX and splash art
Legendary	1,820	Full re-imagining + new voice-over and animations
Ultimate	3,250	Evolving/transforming skins (e.g. Elementalist Lux)

Most modern skins land at 1,350 RP (Epic). Prestige, Mythic and limited skins use separate currencies or bundles. Champions can also be bought with RP, though Blue Essence earned in-game is the cheaper route for those.
