Average Gold & XP Earned from Jungle Camps – by Player Skill

This chart shows how much Gold and XP different types of junglers earn from jungle camps in a typical match. The more experienced the player, the more efficient their jungle clears become.

Key Takeaways from the Data

Understanding jungle monster statistics is crucial for optimizing your clear paths, contesting objectives, and predicting enemy movements. Our comprehensive data provides insights into the gold, experience, and strategic value of each camp.

Monster	Gold Value	XP Value	Strategic Importance
Blue Sentinel	100	100	Mana Regen, CDR
Red Brambleback	100	100	True Damage, Slow
Ancient Krug	130	160	Highest minor camp value
Rift Scuttler	70	100	River Vision, Speed Shrine
Elemental Drake	25 (Killer)	N/A	Permanent Team Buffs, Soul
Rift Herald	100	N/A	Turret Pushing Power
Baron Nashor	300	N/A	Empowers Minions, Strong Buff

Pro Tip: Prioritize Krugs!

While often overlooked, the Ancient Krug camp provides the highest combined gold and experience among all minor jungle camps. Clearing it efficiently can give your jungler a significant early game advantage in terms of levels and item spikes.

Warning: Don’t Forget Scuttle!

The Rift Scuttler, while offering less direct gold/XP, provides invaluable vision and a speed shrine in the river. Losing both Scuttlers can severely limit your team’s ability to contest Dragon or Herald, making it a high-priority objective.

While gold and experience are vital for your champion’s growth, the true value of League of Legends jungle camps extends far beyond these basic metrics. Each camp offers unique strategic advantages that, when understood and utilized correctly, can dictate the flow of the game and secure victory.

Minor Camps: The Sustained Economy

Beyond the buffs, the minor camps are the backbone of your jungler’s economy and experience gain. While they offer less individual impact than buffs or epic monsters, their consistent availability ensures a steady stream of resources.

Monster	Primary Benefit	Key Strategic Value
Gromp	High experience gain	Priority for junglers aiming for quick level spikes.
Murk Wolves	Consistent gold & XP	Reliable resource source for standard clears.
Raptors	Good for AoE abilities	Efficient clear for champions with Area of Effect damage.
Ancient Krug	Highest combined gold & XP (due to splitting)	Extremely valuable for early game advantages and efficient resource gathering.

Epic Objectives: Game-Changing Power Spikes

The epic monsters – Rift Scuttler, Elemental Drakes, Rift Herald, and Baron Nashor – are the most impactful neutral objectives on the map. Securing these objectives can swing the game in your favor, providing global gold, powerful buffs, and significant pushing power.

Objective	Primary Benefit	Key Strategic Value
Rift Scuttler	River vision & speed shrine	Crucial for early game river control, securing vision for Dragon/Herald attempts, and safe passage.
Elemental Drake	Permanent team buffs (e.g., increased AD/AP, health regen)	Accumulating Dragon souls provides immense power. Prioritize based on team composition and game state.
Rift Herald	Eye of the Herald (turret pushing)	Excellent for securing early towers, opening the map, and creating gold leads, especially before 20 minutes.
Baron Nashor	Hand of Baron (minion empowerment, boosted stats)	The ultimate objective for pushing lanes, closing out games, and winning team fights due to empowered minions and stats.

Mastering the jungle means not only understanding the individual value of each camp but also recognizing how they interconnect to form a winning strategy. Use this data to refine your jungle pathing, enhance your objective control, and always stay one step ahead of the enemy.
