League of Legends <\/em>is packed with various skins, ward skins, emotes, and icons that serve no functional purpose, but rather give you exciting festive tools to either celebrate a real-life event like Chinese New Year, or a League<\/em>-specific lore event like Spirit Blossom. Although Riot Games loves to keep content tied to events by earning and spending tokens, skins and other cosmetics can normally be bought in the shop for Riot Points, or RP for short.\u00a0<\/p>
Generally speaking, RP is the main League <\/em>currency that can be used to buy almost everything you set your mind to, except Prestige Edition skins, Mythic chromas, and wards. Essentially, RP can buy you almost everything in League<\/em>. Still, buying RP costs money, and those RP receipts can easily pile up. So, Riot invented orange essence as a means of gathering skins, wards, emotes, and icons for free. <\/p>
If you\u2019re still a stranger to the orange essence system in League<\/em>, here\u2019s everything you need to know about orange essence, including what exactly orange essence is, what you can use it for, and how to get it.<\/p>
