League Classic Progression Guide

League Classic uses Classic Levels — a free permanent track earned by playing Classic. After Classic Level 10 you start Summoner’s Journey (Salt → … → Legend). IP returns for Classic; Runes and Masteries unlock by play (old Tier 3 baseline). Seasonal Classic Passes sit beside levels. We do not invent per-game earn rates.

Classic Levels are a free, one-time progression track earned by playing Classic games. Unlocks can include Masteries, Runes, Summoner’s Journey access, IP, BE, and cosmetics.

Official /dev: similar to account levels. Examples named in the post include additional Rune Pages from Classic Levels and cosmetics such as the Rustier Blitzcrank skin. Exact level→reward table is not fully published here without a verified grid.

Summoner’s Journey starts at Classic Level 10

After Classic Level 10 you start Summoner’s Journey at Salt, then progress through ranks toward Legend — a flex / goal track, not ranked matchmaking.

unlockVerified
IP is back; Runes & Masteries unlock by play

Influence Points (IP) return for Classic. You start with three Rune Pages, can earn two more from Classic Levels, and can buy more with IP. Runes/Masteries unlock by playing (old Tier 3 baseline — no upgrade grind).

Classic progression is mode-specific

Treat Classic Levels, IP, BE grants from the pass, and unlocks as Classic systems unless an official source ties them to your main modern account.

Missions, pass, and Council sit beside levels

What you unlock next may depend on Classic Levels, Act I pass tiers, and Council outcomes — check all three surfaces.

Common questions

Is Classic progression the same as ranked / regular account level?
No. Treat League Classic progression as mode-specific unless an official source explicitly ties a reward to your main account systems.
What is Summoner’s Journey?
A flex/goal track that begins once you hit Classic Level 10, starting at Salt and climbing toward Legend. It is not ranked matchmaking.
Will you publish full IP tables?
Only after in-client or official verification of a complete grid. Incomplete rate tables are not published.
