TFT Mythic Medallions: What They Are and How to Get Them

TL;DR: Mythic Medallions are a store currency in TFT and League of Legends, used to redeem Mythic content (premium cosmetics like Mythic skins and chromas) in the store. You earn them through the Treasure Realms system, alongside two companion currencies: Realm Crystals (which open Treasure Realms) and Treasure Tokens. They are cosmetic only, so they have no effect on gameplay or rank, and there is no in-game grind that farms them for free.

A quick, honest note before you keep looking: Mythic Medallions are a cosmetics and store feature, not a gameplay mechanic. That is why you will not find them on any comp or item guide. This page explains what they are and how the store system around them works.

The direct answer

Mythic Medallions are a currency used to redeem Mythic content in the store. In the client, hovering the Mythic Medallion currency shows exactly that: “Used to redeem Mythic content in the Store.” You gather Medallions through the Treasure Realms system, then spend them to unlock Mythic-tier cosmetics you want.

They are not earned by playing games, winning, or climbing. They live entirely in the cosmetics and store side of the game, so nothing about your comps, econ, or placement changes them.

The three currencies in the Treasure Realms system

Treasure Realms uses three currencies that are easy to mix up. Here is what each one does.

Currency	What it does
Realm Crystals	The premium currency that opens Treasure Realms (for example, open one or open ten at a time).
Treasure Tokens	A companion currency earned along the way that feeds into the same system.
Mythic Medallions	What you redeem for Mythic content (premium cosmetics) in the store.

The flow is: you open Treasure Realms with Realm Crystals, and as part of that system you accumulate Mythic Medallions, which you then redeem for the Mythic cosmetics on offer.

How you actually get Mythic Medallions

There are a few paths, and being straight about it, most of them run through spending or events rather than free play:

• Opening Treasure Realms with Realm Crystals is the main way Medallions accumulate.
• Events and their reward tracks often grant Medallions as you progress.
• The in-client store is where you see the current redeem cost and what Mythic content is available right now.

Exact prices, drop rates, and redeem costs change with each event and rotation, so the numbers you see in your own client are the authoritative ones. If a guide quotes a fixed cost, treat it as a snapshot that may already be out of date.

Do Mythic Medallions affect gameplay?

No. This is the part worth being clear on, because “how to get” searches sometimes come from a worry that other players are buying an advantage. They are not. Mythic Medallions only unlock cosmetics: skins, chromas, and similar visual items. They do not change unit stats, augments, econ, or your rank.

TFT is not pay to win. The only thing that improves your placement is better decisions, which is exactly what a coaching tool like TFTSense helps with: live comp, shop, econ, and item calls from your own screen. If you want to actually climb rather than collect cosmetics, start with the TFT fundamentals guide and the live meta comps.

Where Mythic Medallions live

Because TFT shares the League of Legends client, the Treasure Realms store and its currencies sit in the client alongside your other cosmetics, not in a TFT match. If you are newer to how TFT and League share a launcher and store, the is TFT part of League of Legends explainer covers how the two connect.

The short version: Mythic Medallions are a cosmetics currency for redeeming Mythic content, earned through the Treasure Realms system, with no bearing on how you actually perform in a game.
