You can gift almost anything in Wild Rift that is sold for Wild Cores, to a friend who meets three conditions. Both of you must be at least account level 15, you must have been friends for at least 2 weeks, and you can send up to 2 gifts in a 24 hour period. Riot's Gift-Giving in Wild Rift page, dated December 23, 2022, is the source for everything in the first four sections.
What you can gift
Riot says just about anything that can be purchased with Wild Cores can be given as a gift. Its examples are champions, skins, baubles, recalls and emotes. If you are unsure about an item, go to it in the store and look for a little present icon. If the icon is there, you can gift the item to your friends.
Sending a gift
- Find the item you want to give in the in-game store.
- Tap the present icon.
- Select the friend who receives it.
- Optionally add a message.
- Tap the button showing the price of the item in Wild Cores.
Once those steps are done, the item is sent to your friend. Check the friend's name before the last tap, because the page offers no way to undo the send.
The three limits
| Limit | Rule |
|---|---|
| Account level | The gift-giver and the recipient must both be at least account level 15 |
| Friendship | You must be friends with a player for at least 2 weeks before you can send a gift |
| Volume | You can only send up to 2 gifts in a 24 hour period |
Riot says these rules protect your Wild Cores and make it much more difficult for a would-be abuser to exploit your account, even if they are a little inconvenient at times.
The friendship rule is the one you cannot rush. Suppose you add a friend on a Monday. The first day you can send anything is the Monday two weeks later, and that day you can send two items, say a skin and an emote. For a birthday gift, add the friend at least two weeks ahead and keep one of the two daily slots free in case you want a second item.
Wishlists
A wishlist saves you from guessing. Go into your friend's wishlist by opening their profile and tapping the heart icon to the right, then pick the skin, champion or bauble they saved. Riot's Store help section also lists a separate article on using Wild Rift's wishlist.
If you want a refund
Because a gift involves two parties, Riot is unable to grant a refund once you have sent one. The gifting page points to Riot's refund policy for more on refundable content. The one exception it names is a gift that was sent because your account was compromised. In that case, submit a ticket and Riot says it will do what it can to help.
Your own purchases follow other rules. Riot's chroma page, dated July 18, 2025, says Chroma Orbs and Scanners cannot be refunded. Chroma Orb Tickets and chromas bought directly can be refunded if they are unused and were purchased within the last 14 days. Riot also keeps a separate servers FAQ for Americas and rest-of-world accounts.
What Wild Cores cost for common items
Wild Cores are Wild Rift's only paid currency, so a gift you pay for is paid in them. Riot's support pages give these Wild Cores prices.
| Item | Price in Wild Cores | Detail from Riot |
|---|---|---|
| Single chroma | 250 | You must own both the champion and that skin first |
| Hidden chroma bundle | 2,000 | Hidden chroma bundle for a skin |
| Premium upgrade, Wild Pass | 415 | Adds a prize at each level from 1 to 120 |
| Premium upgrade, Mini Pass | 380 | Adds a prize at each level from 1 to 30 |
| Pass Elite | 990 | Includes the premium perks, plus 20 instant Wild Pass levels and a Role Choice Skin Chest |
The pass prices come from Riot's Wild Pass and Mini Pass page, dated April 14, 2026. Riot says dates and times on that page are subject to change, and the current Wild Pass starts on September 22, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, so check the in-game schedule before you buy a pass.
Riot says that features sold exclusively for Wild Cores grant no in-game advantage outside of looking fly and feeling fresh. Wild Cores are also not the only way to a cosmetic. Many, but not all, of the items sold for Wild Cores can be obtained through other currencies. Blue Motes come from playing games, including a bonus for your first win of the day, and from mission rewards and weekly chests. Poro Coins are earned by playing rather than paying and buy banners, poses and skins in the Poro Coin Store, where some content can only be acquired with Poro Coins.
What a pass upgrade changes
The free track and the paid track differ in how many levels carry a prize. The Wild Pass offers free rewards at each level from 1 to 50, and the Mini Pass at each level from 1 to 20. Upgrading to the premium pass earns you all the free prizes and another prize at every level from 1 to 120 in the Wild Pass and from 1 to 30 in the Mini Pass, including rewards you unlocked earlier.
Pass Elite adds an instant jump of 20 Wild Pass levels, which is only available for the Wild Pass. It also converts your level 1 reward from a Random Skin Chest into a Role Choice Skin Chest, which grants a random skin from your preferred position. The Mini Pass Elite often comes with its own unique rewards, like chromas, that you can check in the client before you buy. Starting with Patch 7.2, the Wild Pass and Mini Pass skin rewards let you choose between the current featured skin and two returning Wild Pass skins.
