- For the client store, see Riot Store.
The shop is a vendor where the player can purchase items by spending gold. Items empower the player's champion on the battlefield and augment their gameplay, providing powerful effects and improving their statistics. Purchasing an item is equivalent to equipping it, and selling an item also unequips it.
Access[]
The shop can be viewed from anywhere on the map.
Players can access the shop interface by clicking on the gold counter on the HUD or by using the associated hotkey (default P). The shop can also be opened by clicking directly on the map's shopkeeper stall (the cursor lights up with a gold coin icon, when the stall is highlighted).
The champion must be in proximity of the shop in order to obtain and sell items. On Classic-styled maps, the fountain always has a dedicated shop, which is exclusively accessible by each team according to the side of the map they start from.
Functions[]
Purchasing[]
Purchasing items is done by double-clicking or right-clicking on an item's icon in the shop, or highlighting the item and clicking on the Purchase button at the bottom right.
Some items are exclusive to one another, and the player will be locked out of purchasing them. Certain items may have item group limitations, which prohibit the purchase of duplicates and other items with similar effects (note: this excludes purchases that consume the item via upgrading).
- For example, the player is only allowed to own one Boots item at a time, and cannot purchase other Boots items without selling it first.
The current remaining gold cost of an item will be displayed under their icon at all times, whether they are available or unavailable, and across all panels.
Items that the player does not have enough gold for, are greyed out. Items that the player is not allowed to purchase due to item group limitations, are greyed out and also display a lock. Available items will be lit up.
Selling[]
Items can be sold to the shop, with diminished value. Higher-tier items may return 70% of their total gold value upon selling, while lower-tier ones return only 40%.
The player can sell items by first highlighting them in their inventory, or in the bottom Quickbuy panel; then either clicking on the Sell button at the bottom left, or right-clicking on them directly.
Undoing[]
The Undo button at the bottom left can be used to revoke purchased items and recall sold ones, in order of the player's actions.
Undoing can be done so long as the champion has not left the vicinity of the shop, has not entered combat, and/or the item in question has not activated. If these conditions are not met, undoing will be unavailable and the button will be greyed out.
Organization[]
The shop has three main pages: Recommended, All Items, and Item Sets. These pages can be navigated through by clicking or by using the associated hotkey (default Ctrl + Tab) while the shop is open.
- Search bar
The search bar is another important important accessibility feature of the shop, available at all times. The search bar is able to recognize item names, but also their descriptions, offered statistics, and (for certain items) any internal nicknames they may have: for example, typing in 'bt' will result in
; typing 'tons of damage' will result in (these "nicknames" or "keywords" may be documented on an item's article on this wiki.).The search bar can be highlighted by clicking on it or by using the associated hotkey (default Ctrl + L).
- Highlighted Item area
At the right-hand side of the shop, the selected item is shown; this area is permanently visible in the shop. The area will be empty at the beginning of a game, until the player selects their first item. Highlighting an item is preserved between shopping sessions, so it can be used to 'bookmark' an item for future purchase. Experienced players may also use it as a means of navigating to or between higher-tier items.
All information for the highlighted item is shown, including its recipe (at the middle), other items that it itself may build into (at the top), and the item's attributes (at the bottom)—such as stats, named item effects, and its total gold cost.
The Purchase button is also located in this area at the far bottom, although double-clicking or right-clicking on an item's icon in the shop may be used as shortcuts (as also noted higher in this article).
Recommended[]
This page displays suggested purchases for the player's champion, based on the champion's role/gameplay, the champion's matchups, and the enemy champions' statistics in the current game. It is meant to provide the player with a shortcut as well as to ease the player into learning the champion's currently viable itemization. Items that are recommended are data-driven and update each patch, based on the most useful and popular build for the champion.
As a player gains experience and knowledge of their champion, the suggestions that the Recommended tab displays may no longer be needed. The All Items tab exists for this purpose, allowing the player to look through all available items and parse them by applying filters.
All Items[]
This page displays a sortable grid of all the available items in the shop, categorized through filters that the player may select.
Items that are not available on the current map or game mode will not appear in the shop. However, not all items shown in the shop are available to be bought. Various examples include:
- Champions without the summoner spell cannot buy jungling items
- Champions who own Jungling items cannot buy Support/gold income items.
- There also exist items that can only be bought by a group of champions, like attacks are ranged-type. which may only be bought by champions whose
- And others.
Upon choosing the All Items page, the shop will by default display the tab that corresponds to the class of the player's champion. Each tab groups items as the most viable purchases for their class in a given game, and is updated by the developers. This categorization could also prove especially useful for players that are generally aware of how items meant for their class may benefit their champion in the current game.
Categories[]
Item perusal is categorized by:
- Consumable
- Boots
- Popular (per champion)
- Champion class (default focus).
There are other specific filters that sort items based on the stat or other passive effect they grant, visible at the left-hand side of the shop window. Clicking on a filter enables it, and clicking on it again disables it. Filters can also be combined (note: so long as at least one item that includes that combination is available on the current mode and map).
Tiers[]
- Main article: Item Classification
A rigid categorization sorts items based on quality tiers.
- Starter
- This item is designed as an ideal starting item, and usually provides some form of sustain. At game start, champions are usually provided with enough gold to buy a starter item and a few one-time use items (most often potions and ).
- Basic
- This item provides some meager benefit.
- Epic
- This item provides mediocre passive benefits; some items of this tier also provide a special effect. Many Epic-tier items determine the general attributes and/or effects of Legendary- and Mythic-tier items that they may build into.
- Legendary
- This item provides substantial passive benefits, along with a special effect.
- Mythic
- This item provides substantial passive benefits along with a powerful special effect. In addition to other item purchase limitations, the player is only allowed to own one Mythic-tier item at a time.
Item Sets[]
Custom Item sets may be utilized by experienced players who have a tailored set of items that they wish to readily access for their played champions. Item sets are created and edited through the Collection tab in the League client.
Item sets also allow players to bind a preferred slot that a purchased item will be automatically placed in. This automatic sorting only applies for purchasing items while the given item set is selected and visible, and also applies to Quickbuy panels.
Custom sets can have as many categories, items per category, and combinations of items as the player wishes. They can also be set up to be usable by all or specific champions, and on all or specific maps.
Quickbuy Panels[]
The Quickbuy Panels are located at the far left of the shop screen and are permanently visible in the shop. They are meant for accessibility and are used to display general-purpose items such as potions, elixirs, wards, trinkets, and boots. Quickbuy panels can be pinned and unpinned, and allow the player to quickly access common and important items. There currently exist three Quickbuy panels: the Consumables tab, the Boots tab and the Inventory tab.
- The Consumables tab contains one-time use items such as elixirs, potions, wards and trinkets.
- The Boots tab contains and its upgrades.
- The Inventory tab is equivalent to the player's inventory.
Shopkeepers[]
League of Legends has had numerous different shopkeepers throughout its history. Most shopkeepers were primarily used for Summoner's Rift, while the remaining ones are seen on Howling Abyss, Twisted Treeline, and other maps.

- ▶️ "We were human once, then the Watchers came. They changed us, forged us into weapons, made us Iceborn."
- ▶️ "We served the Watchers willingly; the Seeker was their voice. She told us their desires, what to build, and who to kill."
- ▶️ "We took Freljord! We took Valoran! Everywhere we went men trembled and the ice followed us. We forged a mighty empire, but it wasn't truly ours... so long as we served the Watchers."

- ▶️ "In a mighty, final surge, we overran them! We lifted them from the ground! We tossed them, howling, into the abyss! That must've killed them, nothing could survive that fall... "
- ▶️ "We needed a guardian in case the Watchers came back. We needed someone who couldn't be killed, someone who could never leave. Hundreds volunteered, but Avarosa chose me... "
- ▶️ "If you hear me sound the , the Watchers have returned! If that happens you must come at once! Bring an army, bring ten armies! Throw those damned Watchers back into the Abyss!"
- ▶️ "An Iceborn never truly dies. Except... well, there are some exceptions... "
- ▶️ "I reckon the whole world must be ruled by the Iceborn now, right?"
- ▶️ "I should have asked Avarosa to kill my boar and bind her spirit here! I miss you, Boarhilda!"
- ▶️ "Sometimes I wish there were two eternal guardians of the Howling Abyss. Gets lonely here."
