But, before you can start opening chests like Christmas presents, you need to get a Hextech Key. In most cases, I see players with more chests in their Loot tab than keys, and here's how you can get keys in League and get that sweet, sweet free loot. What are Hextech Keys Hextech Keys in League are a special type of keys that can be used to open both Hextech and Masterwork Chests. While Masterwork Chests are tied to the cash shop and normally require you to spend money on it, Hextech Chests can be obtained throughout the season mainly by getting the S grade on champions. How to get Hextech Keys Before we dive deep into how you can get your keys in League, it's essential you understand keys can come in one of two forms\u2014readymade keys and Key Fragments. Readymade keys aren't that prevalent in the game, but still have a couple of sources. These keys can come from special Riot Games events like beginning of the season, battle pass milestones, battle pass shop for event tokens, or purchasing them together with chests from the RP shop. Key Fragments, on the other hand, are a bit more accessible to common players and can come from a wide variety of sources\u2014playing games and getting Honored after the match comes to a close, honor orbs, champion orbs, Hextech Chests, various missions during events, and event shops. Related: When is the next LoL Essence Emporium? To be perfectly honest, the best way to get keys and fragments is via events and event shops. League events normally have free quests and you end up with 300 event tokens after you complete them all. Key fragments cost usually 20 event tokens and keys are 60 tokens. So, if you don't spend your tokens on anything else in that event, you can get up to five keys.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Clash-League-of-Legends-LoL.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159528"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":936856,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528\/revisions\/936856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/928651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=159528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

But, before you can start opening chests like Christmas presents, you need to get a Hextech Key. In most cases, I see players with more chests in their Loot tab than keys, and here's how you can get keys in League and get that sweet, sweet free loot. What are Hextech Keys Hextech Keys in League are a special type of keys that can be used to open both Hextech and Masterwork Chests. While Masterwork Chests are tied to the cash shop and normally require you to spend money on it, Hextech Chests can be obtained throughout the season mainly by getting the S grade on champions. How to get Hextech Keys Before we dive deep into how you can get your keys in League, it's essential you understand keys can come in one of two forms\u2014readymade keys and Key Fragments. Readymade keys aren't that prevalent in the game, but still have a couple of sources. These keys can come from special Riot Games events like beginning of the season, battle pass milestones, battle pass shop for event tokens, or purchasing them together with chests from the RP shop. Key Fragments, on the other hand, are a bit more accessible to common players and can come from a wide variety of sources\u2014playing games and getting Honored after the match comes to a close, honor orbs, champion orbs, Hextech Chests, various missions during events, and event shops. Related: When is the next LoL Essence Emporium? To be perfectly honest, the best way to get keys and fragments is via events and event shops. League events normally have free quests and you end up with 300 event tokens after you complete them all. Key fragments cost usually 20 event tokens and keys are 60 tokens. So, if you don't spend your tokens on anything else in that event, you can get up to five keys.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Clash-League-of-Legends-LoL.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159528"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":936856,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159528\/revisions\/936856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/928651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=159528"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=159528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
