The Season 3: Act 1 Battle Pass is live in League of Legends, and it turns Veigar into a fiery cat. The track runs across 48 core milestones plus 8 repeatable ones, mixing skins, Hextech Chests, Blue Essence, Orange Essence, icons, and emotes on the free and paid sides. The headline prize is the Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar skin, locked to the paid track at milestone 48.
Quick answer: Buy the premium pass for 1,650 RP, then earn Battle Pass XP by playing matchmade games and completing missions until you reach milestone 48 to unlock Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar, its border, and a border icon. Free players cannot earn that skin.
Season 3 Act 1 Battle Pass schedule and cost
Progression started on July 29, 2026 at 11:00am PT. You earn Battle Pass XP simply by playing, and each milestone takes 500 BXP. Both tracks are always available while the Act runs, so you do not need to log in daily to keep the pass from expiring, only to finish it in time.
| Event | Date and time |
|---|---|
| Start | July 29, 2026 · 11:00am PT |
| Progress ends | October 5, 2026 · 11:59pm PT |
| Pass deactivates | October 6, 2026 · 11:59pm PT |
| Premium pass cost | 1,650 RP |
Once progress ends you cannot earn more BXP, but you keep a short window to claim anything already unlocked before the pass fully deactivates. Paid passes can still be bought while objectives are live and for 24 hours after they close, which lets you cash in unclaimed paid milestones you already reached.
Every milestone reward, levels 1 to 56
Rewards marked Paid require the premium pass. Free rewards unlock for everyone once you hit the milestone. Levels 49 through 56 are the repeating epilogue milestones that keep giving Blue Essence and Orange Essence after the main track is done.

- 13,500 Blue Essence across the main and repeating milestones

- The Burn It Up Emote and the Phenomenally Evil title
Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar and pass bundles
Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar sits at milestone 48 on the paid track, arriving with its border and a border icon. It is the pass exclusive of the Act, so the only way to get it is to buy a premium pass and grind far enough. Free players cannot unlock it under any track.
There are three purchase options. Each higher tier folds in everything from the tier below it, so pick based on whether you want the Veigar champion, the chroma, and a head start on levels.
| Bundle | Cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Season 3: Act I Pass | 1,650 RP | The premium Battle Pass only |
| Season 3: Act I Pass Bundle | 2,650 RP | Pass, Veigar champion, Magma Chamber Veigar (Vivid) Chroma, Ghostly Poro Emote |
| Season 3: Act I Premium Pass Bundle | 3,650 RP | Everything above plus 10 pass levels, Classic Vision Ward Icon, 25 Mythic Essence |
If you come up short near the end of the Act, you can buy individual Battle Pass levels for 95 RP each to close the gap, except for the repeating epilogue milestones.
How you know it worked: The Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar skin, its border, and border icon appear in your Collection and Loot once you claim milestone 48 with a paid pass active. The Claim button on the pass track lights up whenever a completed milestone has rewards waiting.
Enchanting Mystery Skin pool
The paid track hands out two Enchanting Mystery Skins, at levels 8 and 24. Each one rolls a skin you do not already own from a fixed pool. You can also buy Enchanting Mystery Skin loot items in the League Store for 850 RP each. These are the skin lines in the pool.
| Skin line | Included skins |
|---|---|
| Bees! | Bee’Maw, Orbeeanna, Beezahar, Bee’Koz, Yuubee, BZZZiggs, Beezcrank, Nunu & Beelump, Heimerstinger, King Beegar, Beekeeper Singed, Beemo |
| Cafe Cuties | Bard, Gwen, Annie, Soraka, Sivir, Lulu, Jinx, Poppy, Rumble, Vladimir |
| Dumpling Darlings | Seraphine, Amumu, Syndra |
| Monster Tamers | Zap’Maw, Monster Tamer Lulu, Monster Tamer Veigar |
| Rain Shepherd | Milio, Gwen, Fizz, Tristana |
| Faerie Court | Faerie Queen Karma, Tristana, Soraka, Milio, Fiora, Ezreal, Seraphine, Lux, Lillia, Katarina, Kalista |
Fastest way to finish the pass
Battle Pass XP comes from playing matchmade games in any mode, including Co-op vs. AI, plus missions layered on top. To reach milestone 48 before the Act ends, keep clearing objectives as they appear rather than saving them.
- Every minute of a matchmade game earns BXP, win or lose.
- The daily objective gives 100 BXP for winning one game or playing two, and resets at 11:00am PT.
- Weekly objectives can stack and stay available for three weeks, so catch up on older sets before they expire.
- Champion Mastery milestones and Honor points at levels 3 to 5 both add extra BXP over the Act.
With milestones at 500 BXP each and the repeating epilogue rewards after level 48, steady play through the season is enough to claim the full track. Prioritize the paid milestones tied to Veigar if the Prestige skin is your goal, and finish the epilogue loop for the extra Blue Essence and Orange Essence.
