Can I do something with those augment caches without spending RP?

Hi, I bought those 3 project boxes that you can buy with IP, I expected to just get an icon from it but apparently you also get caches that can be fused into some sort of loading screen card? The thing is, from those 3 free thingies, I received 5 out of the 7 project cores. I suppose I can't really do anything with it or the blueprints without spending RP, right? And if I do spend RP to get to 7 and I forge it, what exactly is it that I get? Will I need to buy the skin itself or will you actually receive the skin? (Sounds too good to be true)

Either way, I'm not dissapointed. I received 2 skin shards from it, one of which is Battle Bunny Riven [zombie-nunu-hearts]

You get Cache Fragments. 3 of those can be forged into another Augmented Cache, which should give you your 7th you need for an icon.

However, that only gives you enough for 1 icon, so you have to choose.

If you own the skin that corresponds to the icon, then you will have unlocked the First Strike Border on the load screen.

You get the PROJECT weapon icons from buying the chests 750 IP chests, you get the icon for the weapon corresponding to whatever color the chest is. The Blueprints you get are for additional icons, and if you use 7 Cores combined with the Blueprints, you'll unlock the colored triangle icon that matches one of the 3 champions, and if you own their PROJECT skin before the end of the event, you'll get the loading screen border. So if you buy all 3 IP caches, make one Blueprint Icon, and open the Augment Cache, you rewards should be: 4 Icons 2 Blueprints 3 Hextech Crafting Shards

There will be another cache available for IP tomorrow. It should have more cores in it.

And the first strike border you can make with the cores requires you to own the associated skin. Currently there's no expiration date on the cores, so you can hang onto them until one of the 3 skins catches your fancy, then buy the skin and forge their icon/border.

The Disruption Cache is available today. It contains 7 more Project Cores, 2 Augment Cache fragments, and also a skin shard blueprint for one of the older 6 Project skins (Yi is not included due to being Legendary). This blueprint requires 11 Project cores to turn it into a skin shard, which then behaves exactly like a normal skin shard; for most of the Project skins, that means it will require 1050 orange essence.
