LoL Essence Emporium - What Is That?

The most important question is what Essence Emporium even is. As already mentioned, Riot Games puts on a sale every six months which is called the Essence Emporium. Usually, one sale is mid-year, while another sale takes place in the pre-season so around December. In this sale, players can use Blue Essence to purchase emotes, chromas, mystery chests and even a free skin.

The first Essence Emporium took place in 2018 ahead of Season 8 of League of Legends. We're therefor in the fourth year of the sale taking place. So, get ready to spend some of that Blue Essence. Especially for long-time players who already have every champ — or at least the ones they want — this is a great sale since they can finally use some of that excess Blue Essence for some cosmetics.

The contents of the Essence Emporium sale are usually the same. The biggest prize is, of course, the free Urfwick skin you can get for a whopping 150,000 Blue Essence. You'll have to disenchant quite a lot of Champion Capsules to be able to get that much Blue Essence, eh? But if you've not got the funds, then there are still other great prizes to pick up during Essence Emporium.

What Is Blue Essence?

New to League? Well, for you guys we'll quickly explain just what Blue Essence even is and why it is important. There are multiple types of currency in League of Legends. There is Mythic Essence, Riot Points, Orange Essence and Blue Essence, which is the easiest to accumulate and the one you'll likely have the most of. You receive Blue Essence by disenchanting Champions.

With Blue Essence, you're able to buy new champions. There is no need to spend your real money on any champion. Since it's easy to get more Blue Essence, you might just have to save for a short while as well if a new champion drops that you want to pick up. It's easy to get Blue Essence, since you receive a Champion Capsule each time you level up. Not only that, but you can also receive Blue Essence through Hextech Chests.

Where To Find Blue Essence In Your League of Legends Client

Spotting Blue Essence in your client is very easy. You just log on and then check the top-right corner of the LoL client. There, next to your icon you see both the amount of Riot Points, as well as Blue Essence you've got. If it isn't enough to get that Urfwick skin, then just disenchant some champions in your Forge.

So, there you have it, folks, everything you need to know to be ready for the next Essence Emporium. Can you afford Urfwick?
