Wait, so those of us who actually spent the money getting all the materials basically just got ripped off?

They mentioned this at the beginning of the release. It was all over their project page.

leopard nidálee20 votes

Oh. Guess it was just my mistake, then. Not much of their information for the project stuff made sense when I read it. :P

Yeah I will admit that it was not very easy to find. Unless you read like everything. There was also a lot of clicking involved to get to where you needed to go.

Read the first title (Content available for IP) of the first segment (Unlocking Project)

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/210155266-PROJECT-DISRUPTION-FAQ

You really didn't have to click a lot to find out about it.

you'd only be able 2 complete one first strike with this bundle, not all 3 technically

Yeah, all said and done, IP chests get you 12 cores - enough for the PROJECT skin shard you get, or two cores (one RP chest) from finishing two of the first-strike borders. Basically, the only thing with no strings attached is the random PROJECT skin and the random skin shard you get from the free augment cache.

If you're already spending RP, it's actually a really clever way to get you to spend just a bit more to get a second project skin for that Border you can almost afford, or to grab a couple chests to get a border for that skin you just got.

No, because the Augment Caches are excellent value. 295 RP for two pieces of loot, a chance for an Augment Cache, and two PROJECT Cores. Compare that to a Hextech Chest and Key, which are worth 250 RP and have one piece of loot in them and a chance for Essence or a Gemstone. Augment Caches are worth far more, and if you bought the bundles that they were in, you got even more out of them.

chest and key is 195rp tho ^^

Hextech Chests only give one piece of (random) loot with a potential bonus gemstone though; Augment Caches give one guarenteed skin shard and one piece of random loot, as well as 2 project cores and a chance at a gemstone or augment cache fragment.

100 more RP for the guarenteed skin shard alone is worth it; let alone the chance for the augment cache fragment to get even more bonus loot.

Its 250 for a chest and key 125 for a chest 125 for a key

Chrisgbk6 votes

There is a bundle for a chest and a key for 195

Its an even better deal considering that you could pay for them with IP, alowing all of them to be free. (as long as you are willing to play long enough to get all that ip)

Bought the 5 pack of caches, got 5 legendary skins and 2 epics. Definitely better than the chests.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

i bought one chest for the border and icon. just spent the ip and got a project fiora shard. killed a few others and got it. i dont even spend money on the game so i pent money on the one chest and the ekko skin. not too bad at least ritos putting out for us

Lussaphi13 votes

opened this cache, and Project Yi skin blueprint came out. it's legendary, but I f!@#^$!@# already have this skin... and I was like "not yi not yi not yyiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa" all those OTHER porjects, why yi whyyyyyyy I freaking saved the cores for this and waaaaaaaahhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Azoth De Wolf7 votes

I got Project Lucian. I already have him. The random-ness of this sucks. I can't even do anything with this now... it kinda fucks with people who bought these skins but meh. Thanks riot for giving more free stuff to the public.

Aeszarck1 votes

If you don't have any other use for your PROJECT Cores, just craft the skin fragment and reroll it or disenchant it!

Spyglass1 votes

You can't re-roll it (since you'd need 3 of them, and the shards from the PROJECT event are different from normal shards), but Riot promises that we'll be able to disenchant all the extraneous PROJECT loot to clear our inventory out later.

PentaKill Shadow4 votes

actually u are wrong, after u fuse that blueprint with 11 project core obviously u can re-roll mate!

Kitty Darkstar3 votes

Meanwhile I got a skin I don't have for the champ I main

Luck is weird sometimes

LXII13 votes

"But I already had PROJECT: _____ why did I get that skin?!?!?!" Some of us already had them all and are still pleased with the fact that there was this much FREE CONTENT handed out.

Sooo....you couldn't have made this available on release? Figures.

Just because free skins are bad

WTF? I used all my project core for first strike icon, and now i need project core for project skin shard blueprint?[zombie-brand-facepalm]

That's not what he said at all... he said he needs it for the skin blueprint that comes in the disruption cache.

Aeszarck1 votes

You can only craft one thing if you don't plan on paying, either one PROJECT border+icon or the random PROJECT skin. If you want to craft more, then you need to purchase Augment Caches.

LXII1 votes

Not necessarily true. I got Project Ekko, his first strike, and Ashe's first strike all for free out of the 4 caches provided.

Colorful Dream1 votes

Wait, PROJECT: Ekko? The skin? Or just the FS icon?

LXII1 votes

I mean, I guess both technically lol. My second Cache gave me enough cores to craft the two icons AND it had Ekko's skin in it.

Zackhighwind3 votes

i Feel a lil rip't off because i got project fiora when i already own her and i basically got no skin :/

Gojira Toppu26 votes

You feel ripped off because you got something for free? [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Zackhighwind4 votes

i already had project fiora i mean sure it was good for dust but i was hoping for like project zed or lucian and yi something along those lines i mean i was also not expecting to get a skin i already had

Steenee2 votes

if you can get 11 cores, you can make the skin shard and use it to disenchant or reroll. i know how you feel though, i got project lucian but it's better than nothing at all

Voyse1 votes

It's probably less that he got something free... and more that everyone else got the same thing he paid for, but for free.

Gojira Toppu1 votes

I got project Zed from the cache, when I own the skin and I couldn't be happier. It was free dust.

Grimturtle3 votes

This whole project theme has been convoluted and not worth the effort. It seems to boil down to "spend more money for this skin"

Bedhead Dragon4 votes

Not really it, was more like spend 3k IP and Get atleast 3 Free skin shards and maybe 5, Its probably an effort to integrate hextech crafting into the game since aside from hextech annie and soulstealer vayne hextech crafting hasn't changed since it first came out

Røbot Love2 votes

...is there somewhere else to get augment cache fragment or did they just only give us 5? What am I supposed to do with these two additional ones?

Azoth De Wolf2 votes

The fragments drop from augment caches.

Aeszarck3 votes

If you got lucky, then you got another from the first Augment Cache you opened. If not, tough luck.

Blacknight4992 votes

why cant we use in game ip points like the rest of the project event it makes no sense.

Bedhead Dragon2 votes

you can it costs 1500 ip for this cache

Stexe1 votes

The cache doesn't give you all the First Strike borders even if you buy the skins.

Soireal1 votes

but it gives you one of them like i got the ekko one as its the only one of the project skins i would use over another skin
