League of Legends Classic Progression, Summoner’s Journey & Pass Guide

Summary

League of Legends Classic progression is its own system, with a 30-level Track, Classic Pass, and missions. As you play, you earn CXP, IP, BE, CPC, Rune pages, Voting Power, and other rewards. Reaching level 10 in the Progression Track also unlocks ranked Classic matches, called the Summoner’s Journey.

League of Legends Classic Progression

You earn rewards via the League of Legends Classic Progression Track for this game mode. Masteries unlock at level 3, Runes start at level 4, Council voting at level 5, and Summoner’s Journey at level 10. Additionally, many more rewards are spread across the 30-level progression system.

We cover the benefits and requirements for all League of Legends Classic Progression Track levels and missions, as well as explain how the Summoner’s Journey works.

LoL Classic progression rewards, levels, and CXP

The League of Legends Classic came with a Progression Tracker. As you collect a set amount of Classic XP (CXP) by playing, you progress through 30 levels.

Reaching each level on the League of Legends Classic Progression Track grants a reward or two. You can receive additional Rune pages, skins for Classic champions, Voting Power, etc. Climbing through all 30 levels requires 13950 CXP total, and the final reward is a Blitzcrank skin.

LoL Classic missions: daily, weekly, and event rewards

During updates, Riot kept most of the objectives for League of Legends Classic progression the same but changed the rewards you can get. Evergreen missions are available throughout the Classic event, while daily and weekly missions are only available when the Classic Pass is around. 

Evergreen missions (Classic Pass: Act 2)

Single missions remain throughout the whole event, but you can only complete them once.

Mission Objective Reward
Classic Warmup Play 1 Classic game of Co-op vs. AI 1000 BE + 100 CXP
Classic Warmup Play 1 game of Classic Rift 500 IP
Classic Summoner (1 of 3) Play 10 games of Classic Rift 750 IP
Classic Summoner (2 of 3) Play 10 games of Classic Rift 750 IP
Classic Summoner (3 of 3) Play 10 games of Classic Rift 1500 IP

Evergreen missions (Classic Pass: Act 1)

These were the single-event missions and rewards you could earn before Classic Pass: Act 2.

Mission Rewards
Play 10 games of Classic Rift 750 IP
Play 1 game of Co-op vs. AI in Classic Rift 1000 BE and 100 CXP
Play 1 game of Classic Rift (x5) 1500 IP
Play 1 Classic game in a premade team Positive Team Player emote
Play 3 Classic games in a premade team Honorable Opponent emote

Daily missions

To complete daily missions, you just need to win (easy, right?). They reset daily at 11:00 am PT.

Daily mission Classic Pass: Act 1 rewards Classic Pass: Act 2 rewards
Win a game of Classic Rift 500 IP, 20 CPC, and 100 CXP 1000 IP, 20 CPC, and 100 CXP

Only TFT Tocker’s Trials are excluded from the third weekly mission.

Summoner’s Journey in League Classic: ranks & MMR

To put it bluntly, Summoner’s Journey is ranked, but for Classic. It unlocks when you reach Classic level 10. The ranking consists of Emblems and Divisions, while your first five matches decide your starting ones. The goal is to climb to Division I in each Emblem (except Legend, which has none):

  • Salt
  • Wood
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond
  • Legend

Players need 100 SP (similar to LP) to move up to the next Division. Meanwhile, if you’re already in Division I, those points will get you to the next Emblem. Dropping below 0 SP results in a demotion.

However, there’s a catch: your matches before unlocking Summoner’s Journey still count toward a hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR) used for matchmaking and progression. 

Buy LoL Riot Points

An even bigger issue (in my eyes at least) is that after reaching the 10th level, there are no separate queues. This means, in a way, you’re forced to play ranked in Classic even when the goal was to relax and have fun with friends, not climb tiers. 

Riot said they kept one shared queue to maintain good matchmaking and understand what players actually want. I hoped it would change in the future, but in the end, Riot will cancel the whole thing (the Classic being a permanent mode, I mean).

League Classic Pass: tiers, rewards, and CPC costs

In the Classic Pass tab, players could find several limited-time offers. However, some required purchasing the Premium Pass for the Classic Pass: Act 1. Meanwhile, the second LoL Classic Pass is available from October 20, 2026, until January 5, 2027, with progression ending on January 4.

Unlike the first, none of the Classic Pass: Act 2 rewards require the paid Premium Pass.

Classic Pass: Act 2

In total, you’ll need 1135 CPC to purchase every Act 2 reward. If you already own every champ released through patch 26.20, you’ll receive 1000 BE instead of a random champion reward.
