You can get 3 PROJECT Icons with Caches at 750 IP each (2250 total). Each of these will have a Summoner Icon, an Augment Cache Fragment, 2 PROJECT Cores, and the First Strike Blueprint (which unlocks the First Strike border for a Project Skin - Ashe, Katarina, or Ekko). Additional Caches can be bought for RP.

You'll end up having 3 First Strike Blueprints, 6 Cores, and 3 Cache Fragments from these. The 3 Cache Fragments combine to make an Augment Cache, which will have a skin shard and some other loot, and may have another Augment Cache Fragment.

After getting these, get the Disruption Cache for 1500 IP, which will have 7 Cores, a PROJECT: Overdrive Blueprint, and 2 Augment Cache fragments (iirc).

You should have at least 13 Cores total, plus the rest of the loot. Using 7 PROJECT Cores, you can craft the First Strike border for the Ashe, Ekko, or Katarina PROJECT skins if you own the skin. Or, you can use 12 cores to craft a PROJECT: Overdrive (Yasuo, Yi, Zed, Fiora, Lucian, or Leona) skin shard from the Blueprint, which you can then unlock using Hextech Crafting.

I done messed up then, got the 3 caches (I did not have RP so used IP) and got all open, got the 5 cores and was sad that i couldn't get a border, dident know about the 4 box until today :_; guess it is mostly my falt for not looking deeper into it, so what will happen to the blueprints now that I cant upgrade them?

Wish you can do something with extra Project cores .-. I have 76 extra that I can't do anything with lol

When the event ends they can become dust

Oleandervine2 votes

How much dust though? If it's 10, it may be profitable to keep them. If it's like 2, then I'm better off using them to craft the Project skin shard I might not ever need.

It sucks, I know.

I have 1 core left.

WarWind1 votes

Would be best if we can sell those for a bit of IP.

But HEY. WHO DOESN'T USE IP ANYMORE (except for name changes)

Destroyah512 votes

Well New Chromas are coming back next patch for 2000 ip each color individually lol

How project skins come to be Ashe :Ekko you got the hostages?

Ekko :Yeah... Why do you want another skin? You have plenty!

Ashe :A Project Skin is no ordinary skin... A project skin will raise my play-rate BY 9000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katarina :Chill, Frost Queen

Ekko :So what do we do to get them to make us project skins?

Ashe Katarina :Leave that to us.... >:D

Does this mean the disruption cases will go away? I'm still trying to play enough to get 1500 IP to get the case.

All the PROJECT Caches will go away at the end of the event. ######Someone downvoted a lost of posts on this thread. Let's get you back to 1!

This has nothing to do with this post but I thought I'd share: Zilean's name is a misspelling of the non-existent number, a zillion, as in a zillion years. Just now thought of that. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong with that theory or if I'm late to the party.

You are wrong. Zilean was the SN of one of the original developers of Dota-that-became-League, along with Ryze and Ezreal. They naturally made and named characters after themselves. Zilean (the human) was notorious for saying that he thought it was stupid that anyone would consider a bear character for their game, and would do all in his power to combat an absurd idea. This is why Zilean (champ) has that easter egg buff for Volibear.

It's not a buff that does anything, just a vanity buff that tracks your kills of Volibear. He gets a version to track Zilean kills too.

MC Whomper8 votes

Actually extra gold is granted upon kills to one another, Voli gets an extra 11 and Zilean gets an extra 10.

(also the developer's name was Zileas) (and it wasn't dota it was WoW) (memes)

Ephidel3 votes

By the way, that buff isn't actually in the game anymore. They removed all the "fun" buffs quite some time ago because they just confuse new players.

Venti Nocturnum2 votes

But zilean was introduced as a champion WAYYY after release, he wasnt even one of the first 15 champs

Unfortunately, you just got unlucky. Some people got an Augment Cache Fragment with their free Augment Cache, and therefore got fourteen total PROJECT Cores over the course of the event, allowing them to get two PROJECT icons.

What if you have leftovers of project core?

What if you have leftovers of project core?

If you do, you'll be able to disenchant them for Cosmetic Essence.

No TERFs2 votes

So I just want to make sure I understand. You have to unlock the icon AND buy the skin before the event is over to actually get the loading screen cards? I've finished all the icons but I don't want to buy the skins yet. Buying the skin at a later date wont unlock me the load screen?

Trick Or Thresh2 votes

yes once u have the icons the skin will load with it

XL Coffee2 votes

The way I read it was you have to unlock BOTH before the event ends in order to get the border. Taken from the FAQ:

"Forge together an Icon Blueprint and 7 PROJECT cores. Own a First Strike icon and its corresponding PROJECT skin by the end of the event to unlock a permanent First Strike loading screen border for that skin."

SimpleSenryu2 votes

read a bit about this here: http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/3qXbIdqV-initializing-project-first-strike-project-sync and I'm wondering if these "PROJECT(s) and First Strike" skins, augmented cache's, crates, etc are a yearly thing. Or, if they are limited edition and what not.

Seyunx4 votes

Limited.

Solaris Ventara2 votes

Wait. I already have the yasuo border without any icon.

ThisIsBlaziken2 votes

Are extra stuff gonna turn into orange essence or blue?

its Jessica2 votes

so lets say you don't own any of the project skins however you already unlock the first strike icon for lets say ashe. the question is will i be able to still unlock the border if i purchase later on ;D
