Riot has now detailed how old rune pages and 30-point mastery trees unlock in LoL Classic. Progression is faster than old League and everyone gets a usable default page.
Runes unlock by playing and use old Tier 3 strength as their baseline. Players start with three Rune Pages, earn two more from Classic Levels and can buy extras with returning IP.
