Changes: Gold (League of Legends)

Latest revision as of 13:38, 24 June 2024

Gold is the in-game currency of League of Legends. It is used to buy items in the shop that provide champions with bonus stats and abilities, which in turn is one of the main ways for champions to increase their power over the course of a game.

At the beginning of the game, champions are given starting gold based on the map being played on, and can receive more gold through various means.

Starting Gold

Summoner's Rift: Champions start with 500.
Howling Abyss: Champions start with 1400.

Base gold generation

Every champion passively generates gold at a rate that varies from map to map.

Summoner's Rift: 20.4 per 10 seconds; starts at 1:50.
Howling Abyss: 55 per 10 seconds; starts at 1:00.

Increasing passive gold gain

Champions can earn gold passively, without requiring direct action from the player. It is typically quantified in terms of the amount of gold gained over 10 seconds ("gold per 10" for short). Passive gold gain does not activate until minions spawn, and can be increased by gold-generating items.

Items

The following gold income items will passively generate gold every 10 seconds, only one of them may be carried at a time.

This table is automatically generated based on the data from Module:ItemData/data.

Item	Cost	Amount	Availability
Bloodsong Bloodsong	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5
Bounty of Worlds Bounty of Worlds	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5
Celestial Opposition Celestial Opposition	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5

Runic Compass Runic Compass	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5
Solstice Sleigh Solstice Sleigh	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5
World Atlas World Atlas	400	3	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5
Zaz'Zak's Realmspike Zaz'Zak's Realmspike	400	5	Classic Summoner's Rift 5v5

Increasing active gold gain

Champions can also gain gold by doing certain actions. Gold that is earned through direct action from the player is considered active gold gain. It can be increased by items.

Items

Champion abilities

Akshan's Going Rogue
Draven's League of Draven
Gangplank's Parrrley
Illaoi's Test of Spirit (from killing Spirits)
Pyke's Death from Below
Senna's Absolution
Twisted Fate's Loaded Dice
Viego's Sovereign's Domination (from possessing Mist Wraiths)

Runes

Killing units

Minions, monsters, and pets

Gold can be earned by dealing the killing blow ("last hit") to enemy minions and neutral monsters.

The gold earned from minion kills is dependent on the game time. As the game progresses, each minion is worth more.
Unlike experience, the gold earned from neutral monsters does not change over time, regardless of when the monsters were spawned. The sole exception to this is the Rift Scuttler, whose gold increases linearly with camp level.
Pets and summons such as Annie's Tibbers, Malzahar's Voidling, Shaco's Jack in the Box, and Zyra's Plants grant gold to the champion who kills them.
Certain epic monsters give gold globally, providing gold for the entire team. The champion who lands the killing blow receives additional gold.

Champions

Main article: Kill
Gold can be earned by killing or assisting in killing enemy champions. The gold gain is determined by how many kills the slain champion has recently accumulated (champions that have killed many enemies without dying are worth more gold).

Structures

Destroying a turret grants varying amounts of gold.
Destroying an inhibitor or nexus grants the player 50, but the latter is irrelevant as it also causes the game to end.

Wards

Destroying a ward / trap grants varying amounts of gold.

Selling Items

Most items can be sold back at the shop for 70% of their total cost.
The exceptions to this rule are returning only 40% of their original cost:
- Gold generating items:
  - Cull
- Consumable items:
  - Potions:
  - Vision:
  - Elixirs:
- Starting items:
  - Doran's items:
  - Dark Seal
- Guardian Angel
Total Biscuit of Everlasting Will sells for 5.
Poro-Snax, Elixir of Force, Elixir of Avarice, and Elixir of Skill cannot be sold.
When you undo an item purchase, you are refunded the full cost. Gold generation items also return any gold they generated.

Trivia

Most gold possible from a single teamfight : 5750 (abilities and items that increase gold income excluded)
- Requires 1 champion getting 5 shutdowns against enemies with maximum shutdown ( 1000 each), and at least 1 ally assisting the 5 kills ( 150 per assist).
- The maximum gold allowed for a shutdown is 700 on top of the 300 base kill gold.
On Twisted Treeline champions started the game with 850, and passively generated 16 per 10 seconds.
- When someone on your team seized an altar 80 was globally earned for each member of the team.
On Crystal Scar champions started the game with 1300 while playing Ascension and 1400 while playing Definitely Not Dominion, and passively generated 56 per 10 seconds, starting at 1:30.
- When a player neutralized a point, they would gain 100, and 100 for capturing a point. This number is dependent on the number of champions involved in the capture of a point: two champions will each gain 75, and three champions will each gain 63.
If Samira has at least 1 gold, Samira's /taunt deals 1 true damage and gives the target 1 of Samira's gold.

+'''Gold''' is the in-game currency of ''[[League of Legends]]''. It is used to buy [[item]]s in the [[shop]] that provide [[champion]]s with bonus [[Champion statistic|stats]] and abilities, which in turn is one of the main ways for champions to increase their power over the course of a game.
+At the beginning of the game, champions are given starting gold based on the map being played on, and can receive more gold through various means.
-In [[Classic]] ([[Summoner's Rift]]/[[Twisted Treeline]]), your champion starts with 475 gold (+20/40 with the {{mi|Wealth}} mastery). The champion then earns more gold by last hitting minions and killing champions (or assisting). Additionally, the champion receives extra gold from killing [[:Category:Epic_Monsters|Epic Monsters]] and destroying enemy turrets. The champion passively earns 13 gold per 10 seconds. This value can be increased by gold generating [[rune]]s, [[masteries]], and/or items. The passive gold gain does not activate until minions spawn (at 1:30).
+== Starting Gold ==
-In [[Dominion]], your champion starts with 1350 gold (+20/40). Passive gold gain is 56 gold per 10 seconds, which can be increased by gold-generating [[masteries]], and/or items, though their potency seems less affective, since you already have a lot higher gold income beforehand and therefore it doesn't seem to have the strong effect as in Twisted Treeline or Summoners Rift. Minions also grant more gold than in classic, but champion kills and assists grant less. There is no global gold to be gained, but gold can be earned by taking capture points.

-Gold can be earned by killing enemy champions. The gold gain associated with a champion [[kill]] is determined by how many kills the slain champion has recently accumulated (champions that have killed many enemies without dying are worth more gold). When a champion is killed, the bounty ranges from 15 to 600 gold<ref>[[V1.0.0.120#General]]</ref>.
-* The last hitter always receives 100% of the value of the bounty.
-* An extra 58% of the value of the bounty is put into a gold pool. The pool is split equally among all champions who assist (by damaging or debuffing the slain champion or healing/buffing the champion that made the kill within 10 seconds of the kill). If there are no assists, the pool is lost.
-* An extra 100 gold is earned for getting First Blood.
-* The defensive mastery {{mi|Mercenary}} will increase the gold earned from all kills and assists by 8/16/24 gold for the affected champion, though this effect is halved on the [[Crystal Scar]].

Every champion passively generates gold at a rate of 13 every 10 seconds on Classic, and 56 every 10 seconds on Dominion. This gold gain does not begin until minions spawn at each base (from 1:30 onwards). Passive gold gain can also be the result of runes, summoner masteries, or gold generating items.
