What’s up guys it’s me Jeremy.
Hextech Crafting is a new rewards system coming soon to League of Legends, and I thought it’d
be fun to take a look at the system and open a few chests.
And by a few chests I mean exactly one thousand.
This amount of chests is equivalent to 195,000 riot points, or 1300 us dollars if purchasing
in 100 dollar increments.
It took about 6 hours total to purchase all of these chests and open them, and so I’m
here to show you the loot from opening 1000 hextech crafting chests.

I will make a video about loot from 1000 rerolls of the crafting system.
Anywayss, let’s get started.
As the footage plays in the background let’s go through a quick rundown of the crafting
system for those who don’t know.
You earn keys and chests through playing games, earning them at a faster rate when playing
with friends.
You can earn a maximum of 4 chests per month this way, which means you can get up to around
40 us dollars worth of loot each year completely for free.
You can also purchase chests and keys for 125 rp individually, or 195 rp in a bundle
for both from the store.
You open chests with keys to receive shards and essences.
Shards can be activated for a rental of the item, or are crafted with essence into the
shard item or rerolled with other shards into permanent objects, and you can disenchant
shards to receive essence roughly equal to one third of the RP value of the shard item,
while crafting with essence costs the rp value of the item minus 300 essence to craft.
Champion essence is used to craft champions, and cosmetic essence is used for everything
else.
You can get shards for Champions, skins, and ward skins, while also getting summoner icons
and rare gems.
Summoner icons are automatically added to your account when opened, and rare gems get
you a free bundle of a chest and a key, and are likely to have an additional element coming
for them later.
And yes you can get legacy skins from this system, at a surprisingly high rate in fact.
But you cannot get limited skins from this system.
And let’s get into the loot.
Out of 1000 Hextech Chests, I received 316 Champion shards, 591 skin shards, 54 ward
skin shards, and 39 summoner icons for a total of 1000 objects.
I also received 48 rare gems, and its worth noting that with every summoner icon you get
150 cosmetic essence, so I also received 5850 cosmetic essence.
Of the skins, 34 were legendary, and 8 of them were ultimate skins.
As well, there was 192 legacy skins, some of which were highliy sought after like championship
thresh, or costed 1820 rp like zombie brand.
Not a bad haul to be honest.
It’s crazy how many possible things you can get, by the last 50 crates I was still
getting things I had never gotten before quite a bit.
The amount of legacy skins really surprised me, and the rate for ultimate and legendary
skins was a bit higher than I expected as well.
But, you are definitely more likely to get shards for objects worth less rp than those
worth a bit more.
Champions costing 585 RP were more likely to get shards for than those costing more,
and a similar concept goes for the skins too, which is probably why there were so many legacy
skins, since a lot of them cost 520 RP.
But you won’t be able to get shards for champions costing 260 rp, so no need to worry
about those.
I did this on a fresh account that didn’t own any champions, summoner spells, or icons,
because the PBE had reset all objects in order to test this system, but its worth noting
that you can get shards for objects you already own, but you cannot get any permanent objects
of things you own.
The overall disenchant value of everything is 81,929 champion essence and 216,250 worth
of cosmetic essence, for a total of 298,179 total essence which honestly is pretty good
value, since overall 1 essence is somewhat roughly worth the same as 1 rp, it depends
a lot on what you are buying, but at an average chest value of just under 300 essence per
chest at the cost of 195 rp, a chest is very likely to be worth a bit more than the raw
RP you might have used to buy those chests and keys, but there is the random factor compared
to buying individual things from the store, which if you don’t care what you get or
you want to get some legacy skins, doesn’t matter, but if you want a specific skin or
champion its definitely better to just buy it straight up.
I will also link a spreadsheet of the full specific exact loot in the description if
you wanted to see, since there are so many different shards that I cant show them all
on the screen at once.
Overall, I’m really happy with the system and I think it adds some really nice things
into league, and it’s a pretty decent amount of free stuff for everyone as well, and thlllle
randomness factor can be pretty fun, kind of like opening booster packs, which I’ll
admit I am kind of a sucker for.
And that’s just about it.
Here are some of my favorite comments from a previous video, where I asked what your
favorite thing from the new shen rework was.
For a chance to be featured in a future video, leave a comment about what item you hope to
get from the new crafting system.
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you guys next time!
