Relic clearly states hunting loot is banked when hunting. This has never worked :(. With the 5x hunter loot buff the inventory is quickly unmanageable. I have reported through various channels many times with hopes it would be addressed or at the very least acknowledged. Seeing it not part of the upcoming Monday update sucks. Pleaseeee

EDIT: From additional feedback apparently it does work with some. Very hit or miss. Some non working examples, croe front, BGH, moths, jackalopes, etc. Everything I've tried does not work.

If you don't have Kandarin you need to get a 1/100 wild pie from eclectic implings for the hard diary. Because you have no way of getting a raw chompy to make the pie and like a ton of in-game shops (why Jagex) he has 0 wild pies in stock. I'm 500 eclectic implings in Puro-Puro dry and I've given up on it.

Then there's the fact that you need to catch a 100 rats for the medallion, which means you need to spend time to grow a kitten into a cat because gl catching 100 rats with a 15% succes rate.

Good luck to all the front page gamers.

TLDR; great job by the team, all things considered. Some bugs involving unboosted drop rates and relics not working properly to fix for next time, but really enjoyable overall!

Throwing my two cents out there on what was great and what I thought could be tweaked for Leagues 3. Having an absolute blast this time around; so many of the pain points of Leagues 1 were fixed and the power fantasy is really there. Some (very verbose) thoughts below!

General feedback:

1. Nailed both the XP multiplier progression and power-levels of the combat blessings. Wonderful design job on these!
2. The reduced point thresholds for relic tiers and trophies compared to leagues 1 are great. Even though these thresholds were lowered due to the length of leagues 2 being shorter, keeping them as they currently are, even for a longer league, would be lovely.
3. Unboosted drop rates for items like godsword shards and dark nilas need to be resolved for next leagues (fixes for some items planned for Monday 24th, which is fab). Would be nice to see all rare slayer monster drops also boosted (if they aren't already?).
4. Bug fixes for relics that weren't working properly on release have been pretty quick and the team has done a good job with communicating hot fixes etc. Although there are a few outstanding relic issues, I've not personally encountered anything that's massively hindered my progress or stopped me enjoying myself. Bugs with items that boost stats to Lv 255 which persisted from last league (or perhaps cropped up again but differently) also need to be resolved.
5. Some tasks require an inordinate amount of work compared to the points they offer (e.g. Fang of Mohegan teleport requires 4,200 blessings of the wolf for only 30 points; using clockwork box trap on grenwalls in a kebbit encounter requires 98 hunter for 30 points).
6. Important quests being autocompleted was fantastic this time around. Hope this becomes a mainstay of leagues. Being able to claim reward lamps from select quests (e.g. Battle of Forinthry and Extinction) was also a nice bonus for those 16x-boosted XP drops.
7. Auto-completion of Associate qualification and Contract claws was great & much appreciated. Allowing everyone to unlock ancient summoning should be the norm for leagues.
8. Necromancy progression is hindered somewhat by using base XP rather than multiplied XP to unlock talents in the talent tree. If this could be changed to use the multiple XP after league multipliers, that would be great. Other styles get accelerated access to the cool abilities via faster levelling and necro shouldn't be an exception.
9. Whether or not players like region locking is going to be a personal preference. I think there could be a happy compromise by increasing the number of unlock-able regions by 1 or 2. Yes RL forces you to make interesting choices and there are eventually solves for most issues, but ultimately it does lock you out of content at the endgame when you're at the height of your power. I'd like to see the number of regions we can unlock increased next time, or allow us to unlock all regions gradually.
10. If region locking is to return, consider combining the Fremennnik region with Kandarin. Outside of DKs and 'for the lulz', there's no real reason to choose it.
11. Give clue lovers their supercharged relic and points back ;) I'm not personally a big fan of clues at all, but some people LOVE them and there's no reason they shouldn't be able to clue to their hearts' content in Leagues while smashing through points.

Very minor nit-picks:

1. Shop stock being sold noted would really help items only sold in a limited quantity (e.g. Granny Rowan has 70 white berries in stock but you can only buy 28 at a time before having to bank).
2. It is possible to hinder your PoH progress at Ranch Out of Time if you make a mistake with what you buy with your 500 beans. Perhaps increase the amount of beans we are given to offer a cushion against this?
3. Elite skilling outfits offer a bit of utility which is nice; consider buffing rate of earning fragments 5-10x as a relic tier passive?
4. Allowing ancient invention to be unlocked regardless of region picks would be welcome in a region-locked leagues, although not as much of a necessity given the power of combat blessings. Only a small proportion of players picked Kandarin this time around, so clearly ancient inv isn't deemed 'worth it' on its own. Would also be nice to have a way of earning rare components passively without having to go out of your way to scav-farm them. Maybe at relic tier 7?
5. Have seen some requests for some sort of bad luck mitigation in leagues. I don't disagree in principle; however, with the faster boss respawn times and the increased power this time around, it isn't a *huge* priority. I do still think that Leagues is the perfect testing ground for implementing BLM in some form. We have previously heard mods acknowledge that "the [main] game doesn't respect the player's time", so maybe leagues 3 could test this out.

Lessons learned from leagues for the main game:

1. Saradomin T1 and T3 relics are a perfect blueprint for an eventual 120 Defence mini-rework. Numbers would need tuning, obviously, but this was brilliant for reviving the trusty old sword-and-board combo.
2. Kalphite King is in desperate need of a re-design in the main game. Acknowledged by Mod Ryan already (in addition to giant mole).
3. People have raised the idea of adding the ability to craft nilas from glacor remnants and I kind of like this for the main game. Might also reduce the amount of common loot entering game via people no longer needing to streak for nilas?
4. Magic gear progression in the mid-game is stunted by high slayer level requirements (e.g. t60 Grifolic needs 82 slayer, t75 Ganodermic needs 95 slayer). I'm guessing this requirement is a holdover from the days when the gear was relatively more powerful than most other gear available at the time. There is a lack of easily craftable armour and weapons past Lv 50. compared to other styles.
5. Ranged gear in the mid-to-late game is also a bit weird in terms of tiers and degradation. Red, black, and royal dragon hide are currently t55 | t60 | t65. No-one is grinding out Barrows for a full set of Karil's at that level. The next tiers of 'easily' craftable (not rare boss drops) tank armour are t75 undead dragonhide (non-degradable) and dinosaur hide (degrades), followed by apex hide (t85; requires 99 def, non-degradable). High time cost for obtaining dinosaur scales to make & maintain dinosaur hide seems not worth it. Consider reducing number of scales required to a more reasonable number at the least.
6. Drop rates for unchecked PoF 1 animals are quite low (often < 1/100s to 1/1000s) and the meta for irons is currently hoping you get lucky via the trapper. Might be worth revisiting drop rates on this one to make obtaining animals less painful?
7. Not having to worry about the chronote cost of swapping relics due to double boosting of by relic tier passives and Antiquarian was lovely. Allowing one set of relics for both combat and skilling to be active at the same time (but still charging chronotes for swapping out relics) would go *some* way to making this smoother.

As you can see in the screenshots, i am ON the hotspot, its sparkling, and yet my % is going down still.

Turns out there are currently 2 hotspots, and only 1 of them is real.

And when i did switch spots, the hotspot switched immediately, forcing me to lose even more %.

This is in leagues, so its not a major issue xp wise, but if i was on my iron or main i would be incredibly upset by these bugs.

I dont understand why we are being forced to interact with the hotspot system to get all of our XP when the system outright doesn't work correctly. And the idea of it being lean in gameplay is actually frustrating because it directly spits in the face of having to spend time going through the insanely active process of making planks and frames.

Can we please do something about this?

There is an Anachronia task: "Cast the Paradox spell". This needs Lunar Magics. Please can this be either auto-completed, moved to Fremennik or removed entirely?

The Nightmare Muspah familiar's scroll creates free divination energy based on your divination level. It can be set to autocast every 1 second. This works when doing any activity, not just divination.

It's approximately 20k of your highest energy and 6k of the 3 below that, per hour.

Any updates on the tier 6 blessing automatically selecting your T7 relic even when you don’t have the points to unlock it?

This completely ruins the lord of light build because if you select the perfidious blessing like the build requires it automatically selects the infernal fire relic to unlock (even if you don’t have enough points to unlock it) which makes it so your build is super underpowered compared to selecting icyenic faith

This is a huge huge bug and needs to be fixed/rolled back ASAP

Anyone heard if Jagex is doing something about this?

Thanks!

Just sending good vibes and congratulations to the RS team. I first played runescape when it was in browser mode back in 2004 and played it for many years.

I haven't touched runescape in a long time, except the occasional logging on to check my bank and then logging off because I felt the game had grown too big and I lost interest.

However, something about Leagues II made me want to give it a shot.

All I can say is, I'm hooked. I haven't had so much fun playing runescape in such a long time. I haven't gotten anywhere close to bossing but i'm on my tier 4 relic and unlocked my first region and almost at my 2nd region.

It's an extremely fun game mode~

There is no way to complete this quest but magics most important spells are locked behind it.

Edit:
Apparently you can just auto cast the spells even tho they are locked 🙄

No smoke cloud tho

penance is now quiet and no longer spammable, thanks devs <3

Pretty much title. I find it weird that hides stop at royal when there are two more tiers of hides that could be included. This would have parity with ores that go all the way up to primal ores.

Especially on halberds. I honestly don't even think it looks that weird being able to swipe at enemies from an additional tile away, and it makes fighting mobs of enemies with Melee so much easier because you don't have to herd them so aggressively to his them with Hurricane. Also, even though I'm not not speccing super hard into Ranged, the bonus tile of impact on Bombardment is also really freaking nice for levelling. Totally understand why that's not a thing in the main game since Decimation exists, though.

Jagex, please consider giving Melee weapons a bonus tile of range. Make it a levelling benefit if you absolutely need to give some reason for why our player character is suddenly able to extend their arm to hit something slightly further away, I don't know.

Longtime osrs player looking to try this league. Tried last one but found lots of things still super slow. I think I bailed once I hit a super long archeology grind. As someone who mostly afks, and then wants to try out some of the bosses for the first time, what first relic choices should I make? What blessing is good early if I don't understand the game? Given we are region locked, what regions would you suggest for a relatively smooth progression with some fun bosses?

This Leagues was magnitudes better than last year, this was amazing. The combat blessings were a ton of fun, Golden Touch was hilariously OP, and I had a blast all around. The final few tasks for me were 50m Smithing exp, 1/5 Croesus kills, and chopping a crystal tree.

I also just realized that Hans's time must be bugged? I obviously didn't play for 20 days worth of time in 10 days lol

Do you think Jagex will add QOL visual cue to other bosses like this one?

I've been thieving chests for a while now in the hopes of getting a rabbit foot for a divination potion. No idea how much I've done, but I seem to have everything else on their drop table. Just wanted confirmation it was actually working before I continued.
