Comprehensive Guide To Arcane-Themed Free Rewards And Promotional Offers In League Of Legends

Riot Games has released a variety of free digital rewards and promotional events to celebrate the launch of Arcane Season 2. These offers include in-game cosmetic items, experience boosts, and Twitch drops, all accessible to players without requiring a purchase. The events are time-sensitive, with specific windows for claiming rewards and completing missions.

Arcane Anniversary Track and Free Rewards

To mark the one-year anniversary of the Arcane series finale, Riot Games introduced a new reward track within League of Legends. This track is designed to be accessible to all players, featuring a free tier that does not require the purchase of Riot Points (RP). The primary rewards available through this free track include character-specific emotes, new icons, and Battle Pass XP.

The headlining rewards are thematic emotes featuring the show's main characters: Vi, Caitlyn, and Jinx. Additional cosmetic items include a distinctive skull-like icon and a new Poro emote variant. Beyond cosmetics, the track offers a practical reward in the form of Battle Pass XP (BXP). Players can earn a total of 1,000 BXP, distributed as two separate rewards of 500 BXP each. This injection of XP is intended to help players progress through their current event pass more quickly, effectively reducing the amount of playtime required to reach the next milestone.

To claim these anniversary rewards, players must complete specific objectives within the game client. According to the documentation, these requirements typically involve playing matchmade games or fulfilling other standard event objectives. Once these tasks are completed, the rewards become available for claiming directly through the client.

Twitch Drops: Watching for Free Emotes

In conjunction with the release of Arcane Season 2 Act 2, Riot Games partnered with Twitch to offer exclusive drops to viewers. This promotional event allows players to earn a free emote inspired by Arcane simply by watching League of Legends streams.

The Twitch drops event commenced on November 17 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) and concluded on November 23 at 11:59 PM PT. To qualify for the reward, viewers were required to watch streams for a cumulative total of one hour. Eligible streams included any channel broadcasting League of Legends or the official "Arcane Unleashed" Twitch channel.

The process for claiming the Twitch drop reward involves several distinct steps:

1. Log into Twitch: Ensure you are signed into your active Twitch account.
2. Connect Accounts: It is mandatory to link your Riot Games account with your Twitch account. This connection ensures the reward is delivered to the correct game account.
3. Watch a Stream: Tune into a qualifying stream and watch for at least one hour.
4. Claim the Drop: After the hour of viewing, the drop becomes available in your Twitch Inventory. You must manually claim it from there.
5. Check League of Legends Inventory: Once claimed on Twitch, launch the League of Legends client to find the new emote in your collection.

Arcane 2024 Event Pass and Missions

The Arcane 2024 event, which ran from November 20, 2024, to December 23, 2024, offered a comprehensive suite of content, including an Event Pass with both free and premium reward tracks. The event featured Arcane-themed skins for various champions, a redesigned ARAM map called "Bridge of Progress," and a new in-client minigame.

The Event Pass allowed players to earn up to 2,200 tokens by completing missions. These tokens could be exchanged for various rewards. For non-pass holders, the event still offered a set of free rewards, including 300 tokens, two Event Icons, one Arcane 2024 Orb, and one Hextech Key.

Progression through the Event Pass was driven by Mission Objective Points. The missions required players to engage in specific gameplay activities. The following missions and their requirements were available:

• Mission 1: Play one ARAM match or gain 500 points to earn 650 points.
• Mission 2: Kill five Epic Monsters as a team or earn 500 points in one go for an overall gain of 650 points.
• Mission 3: Kill 15 champions or earn over 500 points to gain 650 points.
• Mission 4: Upgrade your vision to level 55 or earn 500 points to gain 650 points.
• Mission 5: Kill 275 lane minions or earn 500 points to gain 650 points.
• Mission 6: Kill monsters to achieve a 300 creep score or earn 500 points in any way to gain 650 points.

Detailed Token Reward Structure

The Event Pass included a tiered reward system based on the number of tokens accumulated. While the full list of rewards is extensive, specific tiers provided significant items. For example, at various levels, players could exchange tokens for Arcane 2024 Orbs, Blue Essence, Mythic Essence bundles, Orange Essence, Event Icons, and Emotes.

Notable milestone rewards included:

• Level 35: 60 Tokens
• Level 40: 60 Tokens and Event Emote 3
• Level 42: 20 Tokens and 10 Mythic Essence
• Level 44: 60 Tokens and 1 Arcane 2024 Orb
• Level 46: 60 Tokens and 625 Orange Essence
• Level 50: 60 Tokens (reaching 2,000 total tokens) and 1 Arcane 2024 Grab Bag

After reaching level 50, players could continue to earn rewards through repeatable missions, granting 20 tokens per completion. The event offered a total of 300 free tokens for non-pass holders, alongside the other specified free rewards. The final day to collect rewards was December 30, 2024.

Conclusion

Riot Games provided multiple avenues for players to obtain free Arcane-themed content. These included a free anniversary reward track featuring emotes and XP, a time-limited Twitch drop campaign for an exclusive emote, and a comprehensive event pass with free tokens and cosmetic items. Participation in these events generally required active gameplay to complete missions or, in the case of Twitch drops, passive viewing of designated streams. All offers were strictly digital and tied to the League of Legends game client and linked Twitch accounts.
