The Lunar Revel 2018 event is now live until February 19, 2018, at 11:59 PM PT. There are a few new things to cover before we get into the crafting tables:


Revel Tokens

Win a matchmade game to complete the “Arrival of the Demigods” mission, which will grant you the Year of the Dog Icon and access to the mission lines. You do NOT need to equip a Lunar Revel icon. Complete missions to earn Revel Tokens, which can be exchanged for loot rewards.

You can earn up to 96 Revel Tokens through missions. That’s enough for a Golden Revel Token, so if you’ve got your eye on one of the new Golden Chromas, you’ll want to save up.


Golden Chromas

Golden Chromas require the corresponding base skin to use and each one costs one Golden Revel Token. Golden Chromas can be crafted for Lunar Wraith Caitlyn, Guqin Sona, Dragonwing Corki, Warring Kingdoms Katarina, Warring Kingdoms Garen, and Dragonblade Riven. If you forge the Golden Chroma when you do NOT have the corresponding skin, you will obtain the icon and chroma, but the chroma will not be usable until you’ve got the skin.

You can also exchange one Golden Revel Token for a Revel Orb, but we only included that option so you’d have an outlet for them if you really didn’t want a Golden Chroma. If you want to get a Revel Orb without spending RP, and you aren’t interested in the Golden Chromas, then you’re better off crafting Revel Orbs for 44 Revel Tokens each.


Loading Screen Borders

Individual borders for Lunar Empress Lux, Lunar Guardian Nasus, and Lunar Guardian Warwick can be obtained through loot for 64 Revel Tokens, or through the border bundles in the store. Each border comes with a matching icon and grants the border for one skin (not all three).


Revel Grab Bag

The Revel Grab Bag contains five skin shards, one from every skin tier up to (and including) Legendary. That’s a 520, a 750, a 975, a 1350 (Epic), and an 1820 (Legendary). The Revel Grab Bag is included in the Legendary Lunar Revel Loot Bundle, although it may also drop from a Revel Orb.


Revel Orb

The Revel Orb contains one skin shard, with a chance to contain a Revel Grab Bag, Golden Revel Token, Gemstone, or Gemstone Skin Shard. To protect from bad luck, it guarantees a 975+ shard every 3 rolls.


Revel Skin Shard

The Revel Skin Shard contains one Lunar Revel Skin Shard. It does not include Lunar Guardian Nasus, Lunar Guardian Warwick, or Lunar Empress Lux.

tl;dr: Riot is no longer about player experience first and is now just a money grabbing company. They have never done anything this bad and I've been playing since early beta (user 2352).

Here is how big of a money grab (and how needlessly complicated) this entire event is, especially compared to every single past event. It is just INSANE.

To actually get all exclusice content: 6 Golden Chromas (Caitlyn, Sona, Corki, Katarina, Garen, Riven), the 3 Borders (Lux, Nasus, Warwick), the exclusive event Ruby Chroma (Lux, Nasus, Warwick), the exclusive wards / icons it would cost you: more than 12935 RP (around 18185 RP due to lack of Silver Token availability). That's over $121 in RP at the most efficient RP cost level.

Breakdown: Free = 1 Gold Chroma = 96 Reveal Tokens (missions) 2845 RP = Lux Border Bundle 2650 RP = Nasus Border Bundle 2650 RP = Warwick Border Bundle 1500 RP = Puppy Nasus Bundle (1 Gold + 12 Silver) 1500 RP = Puppy Warwick Bundle (1 Gold + 12 Silver) 540 RP = Puppy Nasus Icon (1 Gold) 1250 RP = Puppy Warwick Icon (no tokens, but Gemstone)

That gives you 4 Golden Chromas and 24 Silver Tokens left over. Meaning you still need 168 Silver Tokens to get the remaining Golden Chromas. There's no easy way to get the remaining Silver Tokens as the other bundles include so much other stuff (as you can't just buy Silver Tokens by themselves). The most cost effective way to get the remaining Tokens is to buy the "Hextech Chest + 4 Reveal Tokens" (125 RP) for a total of 5250 RP.

Note: This doesn't even account for the skins with the Golden Chromas (as they are extra), just the Chromas themselves.

EDIT: I've been following Riot Games since their start. They were one of the first to do F2P in North America and they did it right. They have been successful over the years because they treat their players fairly and respectfully. They did what others didn't. This flies in the face of that and why it feels so bad. Riot has a very specific brand about being focused on the player experience, and this damages that brand.

Here's a simple fix that is fair and a better player experience: Sell the stuff individually.

Instead of bundling everything together, can we just buy what we want? Why can't I just buy the chromas for 290 RP (like every other chroma)? The icons for 250 RP (or even the border + icon for 425 RP, like they did before)? The wards for 640 RP (like every other ward)? That would be fair and something people could definitely rally behind.

Didn't they say it would have been possible to get all the golden chromas/borders so that it wasn't locked behind a paywall?

Edit: I mean it's not like I don't support them at all, just a bit annoyed that it's locked behind needing to buy mission passes and what not.

Stexe2/8/2018, 4:06:22 PM37 votes

More money grabs... I thought it was possible to get all the Golden skins and borders without buying anything? But doesn't look like it... =/

EDIT: I don't mind giving Riot money (my bank statement sure knows this), the point is the needless bundling for exclusive content. To get all 6 Golden Chromas (since you can't buy them individually) you'd have to spend $121 buying 42 loot boxes just to get enough Silver Tokens to afford them. When Riot said "you will be able to get them all" that didn't sound like it would be some complex bundling scam, but that you could either earn them or just pay for them flat out. Same story with the Lux, Nasus, Warwick borders and Ruby chroma. They are bundled in such a way you can't buy them individually. Cable companies do this with TV channels and get hated on constantly for it. Why is it not okay for cable companies to do it but it is okay for video game companies to do it? Both are "optional" content.

i wish we got revel orb drops as a part of the missions, or with a secret mission.

Vhan87652/8/2018, 4:13:46 PM19 votes

Why did the bundle prices change so drastically from what they were on the PBE? I can understand an increase from what they were, but some of these increased in over three times the price. That's pretty ridiculous honestly.

Are we getting a lunar revel shop this year???

Robrono2/8/2018, 4:17:54 PM14 votes

We don't need a Lunar Revel icon to complete the quests! My prayers have been answered!

Late For Tea2/8/2018, 6:41:21 PM13 votes

Very disappointed with the bundles. Yet another event that has awesome content, but a shame it is all locked behind useless stuff no one wants to buy. I was really looking forward to getting both ward skins, but you can forget about me paying 2.5x the normal price.

And bumping the price of an icon up to 1250rp by putting it in a bundle with a gemstone? I have 23 of these and don't know what to do with them because you hardly produce any content for gemstones.

What a joke.

AuraCreed2/8/2018, 5:40:12 PM12 votes

I'm disappointed there's no chroma for Lunar Wraith Morgana.

Dμck2/8/2018, 8:46:13 PM11 votes

The max I can get is 96 tokens w/o spending $$$, buying a boarder w/ icon is 64 leaving me with 32, I cant really get anything useful with 32 tokens [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I got like 10 keys, why cant we buy some chests, its not like the percentage of getting a skin shard is high to begin with item 3070 item 3070

I mean getting a free gold chroma or a boarder is worth it if I dont plan on spending money but its just the extra stuff we can buy. Since im here anyways, is anyone else also triggered by these chest you get when you level up. You basically get champion chest up till lvl 99, why not skins maybe at every 10 levels or something? BE will stack up eventually once you have every champ and the shards don't stop coming so..

Rant over.

I understand everybody complaining about RP and the prices (cause we're all poor, right?) But has anyone taken in consideration how long does it take to do the skins that riot presents to us? how many people work behind the screen? The amount of time and creativity? You think RIOT only works for free? Guys, the skins are an additional feature of the game... IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU BETTER (EA IM TALKING TO YOU), or AFFECT YOUR GAMEPLAY. RIOT is giving you a chance to earn a skin or some extra features. RIOT at least is updating their gameplay and making sure we have fun the best way possible, they might not make everybody happy. But enjoy a FREE game with sometimes FREE benefits.

Why is there no way to just buy the chromas I want?

Crackt Apple2/8/2018, 7:33:47 PM5 votes

I don't mind Riot charging money for features (extraneous or not) but every year Lunar Revel gets more and more convoluted. All these different orbs and tokens and golden tokens and it's just too much. That I'm considering doing a bunch of math to figure out if I can get all the stuff I want kinda tells me it's not a user-friendly system.

Crai Crushna2/8/2018, 7:44:04 PM5 votes

Riot, actual question here: If the US Government makes loot boxes gambling will you (Riot) get rid of loot boxes like this revel grab bags? If you don't then you'd have to be 21+. How will Riot make money then?

KnightofMorrigan2/8/2018, 8:28:43 PM5 votes

Golden chroma for lunar wraith Caitlyn, but not lunair wraith Morgana? I understand the caitlyn skin is probably more popular, but I actually really like the Morgana skin and feel a little left out. :/ Guess that means no golden chroma for me

lmao I'm not spending money on this.

aciddemons2/9/2018, 9:20:17 AM5 votes

So if I spend 64 revel tokens for he Lux icon (I don't really care for the skin so the border is irrelevent), I'm left with 32 tokens which gives me...key fragments and blue essence. Cool. At least make it so I can get maybe an orb with it or something.

This is what has been happening since Tencent owned the game.

Mizú2/8/2018, 4:25:57 PM4 votes

Are the new Lunar Guardian skins going to be on sale only during the Lunar Event? and if so, For example, I manage to get one of the loading border from the event, can I buy the skin later down road?

Why isnt there a Gold Chroma for Diana's Lunar skin??

Terozu2/8/2018, 4:46:23 PM3 votes

So you cant get the golden chromas without paying? I only counted 90 tokens from kissions. Dont actually care since i dont own any lunar revel skins cept WK Vi.

Saewin2/8/2018, 5:32:11 PM2 votes

Can I get the borders without owning the skins first?

No love for Nidalee Would've loved a golden Warring Kingdom's chroma for her... RIP missed opportunity, Riot.

DarkForestOrigin2/11/2018, 6:57:59 AM1 votes

seriously everyone lay off riot. how does everyone here expect the game to still be fun and playable if they cant make any profit off of it? just make a choice of what things you want to buy with the event currency and buy it. i wouldnt mind them placing a lot more missions so we coule buy everything but they do need to make profit try to understand and just enjoy the game they let us play for free < and dont say its not free because i can say theyve made it a lot easier to get new champs and to lvl up
