How Much Does It Cost to Buy Every Skin in LoL?

League of Legends has thousands of skins, and every few weeks there are more. Players regularly ask what it would cost to buy all of them, and answers online range widely. The honest answer is that there is no single fixed total: the number changes with every patch, some skins are not for sale at all, and the real-money price depends on your region and how you buy Riot Points. This guide explains the pieces of the calculation, the typical price tiers, and how to work out an estimate from the client's own numbers. It also lists ways to get skins without paying for each one.

Why There Is No Fixed Total

• New skins arrive constantly. Every patch cycle can add new skins and chromas, so any total quoted in an article becomes outdated quickly. Older versions of this article quoted exact totals, and we removed them because we cannot keep them current.
• Not every skin is for sale. Some skins are legacy items, event rewards, prestige or special-edition items, or skins that were earned through ranked rewards or other systems. These are not in the shop at any price.
• Chromas and bundles change the maths. Chromas are variants of skins with their own prices, and bundles can lower the cost per skin.
• Prices vary by region and pack. Riot sells Riot Points (RP) in packs, and the amount you receive per unit of local currency depends on your region and the pack size. Regional taxes can also apply.

The Currencies Involved

• Riot Points (RP). The currency you buy with real money. It pays for skins, chromas and many other items in the store.
• Blue Essence (BE). Earned by playing. It is used for champions and some other unlocks, but not for skins in the shop.
• Orange Essence (OE). Earned by disenchanting loot items. It is used to unlock skin shards that you already own as loot.

Typical Skin Price Tiers

Skins are grouped by tier, and the tier decides the standard price. The values below are the commonly listed RP prices. We could not re-check them in the live shop for this update, and Riot adjusts the store, so confirm the price in the client before you buy.

Tier	Typical price (RP)	Description
Budget	520	Simple recolors or small visual changes
Standard	750 or 975	New models and effects
Epic	1,350	New models, animations and effects
Legendary	1,820	Fully new models, sounds and effects
Ultimate	3,250	The highest standard tier with extra features

Special lines, such as Mythic or prestige items, use other currencies or reward systems, and their availability depends on the current season or event. Check the in-game shop for the live list.

How to Estimate Your Own Number

You can build a practical estimate in a few steps:

1. Decide what "every skin" means. Do you count only skins currently sold in the shop? Do you include chromas? Do you include skins for champions you do not play?
2. Count by tier. In the store, filter by tier and count the skins you want. Multiply each count by the tier price.
3. Subtract what you own. Your collection tab shows which skins you already have.
4. Convert RP to money. Open the RP purchase screen in your region and look at how many RP each pack gives for its price. Use the pack you would really buy.

As an illustration only, not a real total, if you wanted 100 skins at an average of 1,350 RP, you would need 135,000 RP. Multiply that by your region's price per RP to see the money cost. Doing the calculation with your own numbers is more accurate than relying on any quoted total.

Champions Cost Something Too

League has more than 160 champions. You can unlock them with Blue Essence by playing, or with RP. Many players pay RP only for new releases and use Blue Essence for the rest. If you are counting the cost of a full collection, remember that skins can only be used on champions you own.

Ways to Get Skins Without Buying Each One

• Loot and Orange Essence. Skin shards from loot can be permanently unlocked with Orange Essence. Our guide on how to earn skin shards explains how.
• Chests and keys. Hextech-style chests and keys give random loot over time. Our article on farming Hextech keys and chests covers the options. Chest availability changes between seasons, so check what is currently in the game.
• Event passes and missions. Seasonal events sometimes include skins as rewards for playing or completing missions.
• Ranked and other rewards. Some skins are given through ranked seasons or other programs. These are usually time-limited.
• Sales and bundles. Riot runs sales and bundles on a rotating basis. Waiting for a sale can be cheaper than buying immediately.

Are Skins Worth It?

Skins do not change champion stats or ability damage. Their value is cosmetic: effects, models, sounds and personal taste. Many players spend only on champions they play often, because a skin they see in every game is better value than one they rarely use. Setting a monthly budget and sticking to it is a good rule, and if you buy RP with a card, consider whether the price in your region matches what you expect.

A Note on Buying Accounts or Items From Other People

Because skin collections cost a lot, some players look for accounts that already hold them. Riot's terms contain rules about account ownership and transfers, and a buyer cannot always check how an account was built or paid for. If you consider this route, read the terms carefully and see our guide to verifying gaming sellers first. For most players, using the shop, loot and events is the simplest option.

Conclusion

There is no stable number for the cost of every League of Legends skin. The count grows with every patch, some skins cannot be bought, and the money cost depends on your region and RP pack. Use the tier prices as a guide, count only what you want, and rely on the client's own prices.
