Wild Rift Patch 7.3 Pencil Sharpener Pass Malaysia: Price & Verdict
Published: 2026-10-10
Verdict in one line: the 1,850 Wild Core pack at REDX Game is the pack to buy for the Patch 7.3 Pencil Sharpener Wild Pass. One top-up covers the 590-WC standard pass plus a 500-WC skin, with ~760 WC left over for Ranked S23 cosmetics. The 425 pack falls short, the 10,000 pack is a hoard — the middle is where the math lands. Top up Wild Rift at REDX Game in 1–3 minutes using DuitNow QR, TNG eWallet or Boost.
Patch 7.3 at a Glance: What You Are Buying Into
The Pencil Sharpener Wild Pass went live on 22 September 2026 at 00:00 UTC alongside Patch 7.3, Riot's self-styled "final major patch of the year" (Riot Games, Wild Rift Patch Notes 7.3). The headline skin is Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw plus an Ascended tier, with the usual Wild Pass Emporium gone this season — a quiet detail, but it changes the maths because you cannot stockpile unused tokens for later.
The patch bundles a lot into one window. New champion Hwei, the painter-mage from Ionia, dropped on the 22nd. Rift Trials, a 1v1 custom mode on Baron Lane, is live. Ranked Season S23 began 23 September at 03:00 UTC, carrying the Glorious Eminence Milio season skin, five bans per team from Platinum through Diamond, and a reworked Champion Score. A Patch 7.3a hotfix landed 29 September tuning Turret Plating and jungle pacing. If you are deciding whether to put ringgit into Wild Cores right now, this is the richest content block Wild Rift has shipped all year, and the Pencil Sharpener Pass is the single purchase that opens the most of it.
Buy it. Senang gila nak faham. The question is which pack.
Cost Math: 590 vs 990 Wild Cores, in Ringgit
Wild Pass tiers in Wild Rift have been consistent across seasons: 590 Wild Cores for the standard Wild Pass, 990 Wild Cores for Elite (afkgaming, Wild Pass pricing history). The Elite tier front-loads five pass levels and extra Wild Stars — useful if you are time-poor between Shah Alam traffic and ranked grind.
Convert that into Malaysian ringgit against the live Wild Core ladder at REDX Game:
- Standard Wild Pass = 590 WC. The cheapest pack that clears it is the 1,000 Wild Core pack. You spend one pack, keep 410 WC for the Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw skin discount or next week's Rift Trials cosmetics.
- Elite Wild Pass = 990 WC. Again the 1,000 Wild Core pack covers it, with 10 WC left — a bus-fare rounding error. Any smaller pack forces a top-up chain.
- Elite + Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw (500-tier skin) ≈ 1,490 WC. The 1,850 Wild Core pack lands it in one buy, with 360 WC left for the Reindeer Mini Pass on 3 December.
The buying error most Petaling Jaya players make is picking the 425 pack and topping up twice. Two 425 top-ups cost more per Wild Core than a single 1,000, and you lose the one-and-done delivery window REDX Game advertises at 1–3 minutes.
Wild Core Packs Ranked: RM Per Core at REDX Game
The ringgit price per Wild Core falls as the pack size climbs — but not evenly. Here is where every tier actually lands on the current ladder:
PackPrice (RM)RM per WCFits
425 WC18.770.0442Nothing in Patch 7.3 cleanly
1,000 WC41.200.0412Standard OR Elite pass alone
1,850 WC75.360.0407Elite + Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw
3,275 WC131.950.0403Elite + skin + Ascended tier
4,800 WC188.540.0393Full season roadmap
10,000 WC377.180.0377Hoard — only if S24 is in the plan
The 1,850 WC pack is the sweet spot for this patch cycle. The jump from 1,850 to 3,275 saves 0.4 sen per Wild Core — real, but you are also parking RM56.59 against a season skin you may not pull. The 10,000 pack has the best unit rate but a six-month commitment that most casuals in KL will not finish.
Compare that to the App Store route for 425 Wild Cores, which clears RM23 at retail prices for Malaysian iOS accounts. The same pack at REDX is RM18.77. That is RM4.23 handed back to you per 425-tier purchase, and the number only gets bigger at higher packs.
What about the Mini Pass?
The Reindeer Mini Pass arrives 3 December with Reindeer Smolder. Mini Passes historically run 220 Wild Cores. If you plan to stack Pencil Sharpener now and Reindeer in December, the 1,850 pack still works — the 360 WC leftover from Elite + Kog'Maw covers it with 140 WC spare.
Is the Elite tier worth the extra 400 Wild Cores?
Only if you cannot play daily. Elite front-loads the first five Wild Pass tiers plus 500 extra Wild Stars. A casual Johor Bahru player grinding two games a night will finish the standard pass with four days to spare — Elite is pure convenience. A FGO-era weekend-only player should pay the 400 WC premium or accept the pass will not cap.
Does the pass stack with Patch 7.3a changes?
Yes. The hotfix tuned jungle progression and Turret Plating but did not touch Wild Pass economy. All quests, tokens and Wild Stars earned pre-29 September count toward tier progress.
Can I pay with TNG eWallet or DuitNow QR?
Yes. The checkout accepts DuitNow QR, TNG eWallet, Boost, FPX direct-bank and credit card. DuitNow QR is the fastest for most Malaysian banks — scan, confirm, Wild Cores arrive in 1–3 minutes (advertised).
Will Wild Cores expire if S24 drops before I spend them?
Wild Cores do not expire. Season rewards do. Any WC leftover from your 1,850 pack carries over into S24, so the "hoard" fear is overstated — the actual risk is unspent season tokens, which is why the Emporium removal matters.
Buying Wild Cores at REDX Game for the Pencil Sharpener Pass
- Open the Wild Rift Wild Core top-up page at REDX Game.
- Enter your Riot ID (the one tied to your Wild Rift account; tak perlu tunggu lama, a verification badge appears when it matches).
- Pick the 1,850 Wild Core pack. Any larger pack if you plan the Ascended Kog'Maw tier.
- Pay with DuitNow QR, TNG eWallet, Boost or FPX. MYR pricing only — no USD surprise charge.
- Wild Cores arrive to your account in 1–3 minutes (advertised). Open Wild Rift, hit the Wild Pass tab, buy the Pencil Sharpener Wild Pass tier you want — see the full Wild Core ladder for the exact pack you need.
Pros like Yamato of TODAK and the Selangor Red Giants roster run this cadence every season — one mid-pack top-up on day one, play the pass out, re-top-up only if a season skin pulls them. It is the same discipline that beats the "RM 10 here, RM 10 there" trap most Penang players fall into on event launches.
Local Tips: MY-Specific Buyer Notes
MYR-only pricing matters this patch. The 1,850 WC pack is RM75.36 at REDX Game. Buying the same 1,850 Wild Cores via the App Store ladder tops out around RM93 in Malaysian iOS pricing because Apple charges in a USD-anchored tier. That is roughly RM17.64 clawed back per Elite-tier top-up — boleh tahan for one purchase decision.
Pay with Boost if you are chasing the 2x Beans campaign; DuitNow QR if you want zero wallet balance exposure. Delivery runs 1–3 minutes advertised, which fits the standard Patch 7.3 play loop: queue a Rift Trials match, top up during the loading screen, pass tier is live by the time you are back in a lobby. The Ipoh and Kuching player bases, who historically got the worst App Store latency, see the same 1–3 minute window at REDX Game.
One final rule of thumb: do not buy the pass on a smurf. The pass only tracks the account you top up, so Riot ID matters. Confirm the ID matches your main before you hit pay — the single costliest Patch 7.3 mistake we see at REDX Game is a 1,850-pack landing on the wrong Wild Rift account.
