Gold (Wild Rift)

Gold is the in-game currency of Wild Rift. 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.

Base gold generation

Every champion passively generates 3.5 each second, starting at 0:20.

Starting from 5 minutes, the teammate with the lowest gold amount receives an additional 1 per second.

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.

Champion abilities

• Twisted Fate's Loaded Dice

Runes

• Mastermind
• Pack Hunter
• Sweet Tooth

Killing units

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

Minions

Last hitting minions grant gold to the killer. Minion death (whether last hit or not) grant 40 / 50% of their gold value shared between all nearby allied champions that did not last hit them.

• Killing a melee minion grants 65.
• Killing a caster minion grants 40.
• Killing a siege minion grants 85.

Monsters

Killing the Dragon follows the same rule as with minions, and grants 150.

Champions

Main article: Kill (Wild Rift)

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).
