How To Get Mastery Blue Essence With IP--The Secret, Borderline Illegal Guide

If you're like I was, you're probably having little luck in getting blue essence. Even getting chests and keys from the shop, or from games, doesn't guarantee you'll get blue essence. Well put away your wallets and prepare to learn the secret of getting blue essence for those coveted rank 6 and 7 level masteries. You'll probably feel dumb like I did once I realized how this worked. Riot absolutely hates this secret method....

1: Go to shop. 2: Go to accessories. 3: Find Random Champion Shard. 4: Spend 1700 IP on random champion shard piece. 5: Go the hextech crafting and realize you only need the ONE SHARD to get a champion shard, not multiple like you assumed our Riot overlords would squeeze you for. 6: Forge shard and get a small amount of blue essence along with a new champion shard. 7: Smash your head against something hard for not realizing how easy and free this was. 8: Assuming you haven't smashed yourself into a waking coma in light of one's collective ignorance, disenchant the new champion shard. 9: Gain a few hundred blue essence. 10: Get level 7 Galio mastery. 11: Repeat steps 1-6 and steps 8-9 for lesser champions that are beneath Galio (which is all of them). Repeat step 7 at your leisure.

Best of luck farming those masteries, and see you on the rift!

EDIT: Just to edit this a bit, this is clearly a self mocking post that also aims to inform some people about this method of farming blue essence that, like me, didn't know of. People on facebook don't get parody apparently. And also to spread the Gospel of Galio.
