What Are Exalted Skins?
Exalted skins are League of Legends' luxury-tier cosmetics. These skins are supposedly much better than the rest, featuring multiple models, forms, custom visual effects (VFX), and voiceovers (VO) that elevate the champion to a whole new level.
League of Legends has 2 other extra special skin tiers - Transcendent and Mythic Variant skins. However, Riot is quick to reassure LoL players that these cosmetics will remain limited to about 10% of their total skin releases, with the majority still being accessible at lower price points.

Arcane Fractured Jinx Skin Basics
Arcane Fractured Jinx
Price: Max 32,000 RP through Sanctum
Forms:
- Shimmer (Menace) Form
- Powder (Tinkerer) Form
- Hero of Zaun Form
Arcane Fractured Jinx pushes the boundaries of what a League of Legends skin can be. It features two distinct models and three forms, each representing different phases of Jinx’s story. Players can switch between these forms using a Ctrl+5 slot-machine mechanic, which ensures an exciting transformation every time.
Unique Features
- Multiple Models and Forms
- Custom VFX and HUD
- Dynamic Voiceovers
This skin seems to be very detailed and linked to Arcane. However, some fans are quick to point out that even this skin isn't as special as Lux's Ultimate skin.

Getting Arcane Fractured Jinx
Exalted skins like Arcane Fractured Jinx won’t be available through a set price. Instead, Riot has introduced a new system called The Sanctum to give players a chance to unlock these luxury skins.
The Sanctum System
The Sanctum is a reward system that uses a new currency called Ancient Sparks. Players can purchase Ancient Sparks for 400 RP each, and these do not expire. Using Ancient Sparks, players can draw rewards from a pool that includes Exalted skins, cosmetics, and other in-game content.
Key Features of The Sanctum:
- Drop Rates and Guarantees:
- The base drop rate for Exalted skins is 0.5%, but Riot ensures players will unlock the skin within 80 attempts (maximum cost: ~32,000 RP).
- A-Tier content, such as other premium cosmetics, has a 10% drop rate, while B-Tier rewards (Mythic Essence, emotes, icons) make up the remaining pool.
- Bad-Luck Protection:
- Progress toward the guaranteed unlock carries over between Exalted skin releases, ensuring that unlucky players are rewarded eventually.
- No Duplicates:
- Players will not receive duplicates for skins, chromas, or exclusive items they already own.
Pricing Breakdown
For those determined to unlock Arcane Fractured Jinx, the maximum investment will cost around 32,000 RP if luck isn’t on your side. Of course, if you're lucky enough, you can get the skin before that.

Exclusivity and Reroll Restrictions
To maintain the exclusivity of Exalted skins, Riot has confirmed that these cosmetics will not be available in the reroll pool.
Release Date
Players can expect the skin to become available in the upcoming League of Legends patch.
Well, that sure is quite expensive skin, targeted at a very specific (and rich audience). Will you be one of the lucky few to get it?
