PAX Jax is a rare skin, part of the rarest skin series in League of Legends – PAX skins, given to attendees of the PAX gaming festival. The skin is a reference to the Cardboard Tube Samurai from the webcomic Penny Arcade, which is about video games and gaming culture. The creators of Penny Arcade also founded the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) so the skin ties to the event.
The symbol on PAX Jax is a nod to the classic video game character Pac-Man. It’s simple compared to modern skins but holds a lot of nostalgia and prestige for old timers.
PAX Jax was given out for free to attendees of the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in 2010. During that time, Riot would give out skin codes for exclusive skins at major events like PAX. Many codes went unused or expired as not all attendees played League of Legends. Some were sold online for hundreds of dollars.
After 2014, Riot deactivated all skin codes so the only way to get PAX Jax now is to buy a League of Legends account that already has the skin. Our store offers accounts with PAX Jax available, delivered securely with all details upon payment.
The only way to obtain original Pax Jax is to buy an account with it already redeemed.
Yes, PAX Jax is super rare as it was only given out to attendees of the 2010 PAX event. After 2014, the skin codes became obsolete and the skin can’t be added to existing accounts. That’s why PAX Jax is one of the most wanted skins in League of Legends.
The skin itself doesn’t have new particles, animations or sounds but it’s still a highly sought after item because of its rarity and nostalgia. Its value has increased over the years and some accounts with PAX Jax are being sold for a lot of money because of its scarcity.
On the other hand, Neo PAX Jax was released in 2023 as a modern version of the original skin and is less rare and can be bought with Mythic Essence. That makes Neo PAX Jax more accessible but less rare than the original PAX Jax.
The PAX skinline is a collection of rare and highly sought after skins in League of Legends, tied to the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). Each skin in this line has cultural references to the gaming event and are symbols of prestige in the game.
Here’s the PAX skinline:
The original PAX skins were only given out to event attendees so they are rare collectible items in the League of Legends community. The newer Neo versions while visually updated were released to a wider audience through the Mythic Essence shop so they are less exclusive. This has sparked debate about the value of exclusivity versus accessibility in the game’s cosmetic economy.
No, you can’t get PAX Jax from Hextech crafting, Mystery Gifts or any other in-game loot system. Since the skin was only given out at PAX in 2010 as a one time event, it’s not available through the usual in-game means. Riot Games disabled all skin codes for PAX Jax in 2014 so the only way to get this skin is to buy an account that already has it.
Neo PAX Jax can’t be crafted from Hextech or Mystery Gifts, it’s only available in the Mythic Essence shop and can be bought with Mythic Essence during limited time events.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
