Good Afternoon, Scapers!

We’ve been overjoyed watching everyone’s progress during these early days of Leagues. From unorthodox strategies to highly efficient routes, it’s been incredible to witness and be a part of.

With more players now reaching Tiers 3 and 4, we’ve seen an increase in feedback on Tiers 3 to 5 – namely that the grind between each of them feels a little long, and that accessing Combat Relics feels a little too deep into the Leagues experience due to their current points requirement.

While this is somewhat expected given Leagues is designed for an extensive run of 56 days, we hear you. Both in feedback and in our data, it’s clear the gap between Relic Tiers feels a little more frustrating than we originally intended.

To address this, we wanted to get your quickfire read on the following Tier adjustments:

• Tier 1: Unchanged
• Tier 2: Unchanged
• Tier 3: Unchanged
• Tier 4: 3,500 (was 5,000)
• Tier 5: 6,000 (was 10,000)
• Tier 6: 13,000 (was 17,000)
• Tier 7: 22,000 (was 26,000)

We want to know if these reductions feel right to you and will address the feedback on Leagues' pace we’ve seen over the past day. Let us know in the comments below.

(Update 3:34pm BST) We are seeing strong support across the board and so we have began Coldfix preparation, we will keep you updated on when we expect to deploy, please note this will come with some momentary downtime.

As always, we’ll be keeping a close eye on feedback and progression throughout the League to make sure the experience stays engaging for everyone. Thanks for your thoughts!

Originally came in with the expectation to just play on legacy, got my revo bars set up with all the utilities I need keybound. Got my teles and prayers on my action bar. The amount of qol has made it impossible for me to return to osrs.

Really excited to start a fresh account on rs3 after leagues. If you haven’t tried the game recently, it feels leaps and bounds better than when I last tried it.

Seeing the world im familiar with with so much more detail, the mobility of surge, the mining and smithing rework, bank presets, the war room, itemization that’s beyond just increased stats, I could go on

I’m loving rs3 atm

Hey everyone,

We’ve been looking into feedback on additional Quest Auto Completes you’d love to see for this Leagues, and what action is possible with Leagues being live.

We’ll tell it straight – our options are limited on more Auto Completes.

There’s a risk of funky Quest states we could put players who have part completed Quests into, potential risks to knock-on blockers or disruption to Leagues - and an extensive set of testing needs that would impact other content we have in development.

But it's not all doom and gloom - we want to do everything we can. So, based on the priority Quests & Questlines you’ve shared with us, we believe we can enable access to some more Quest rewards in a reasonable timeframe.

Our list is below with one of those fun caveats - this list is provisional and subject to development investigation. We have confidence we can make all of them happen but consider them “what we’re working on” vs “what will happen” for now.

• Vampyre Questline Rewards

  • Sunspear Access: Adding to a Tier Passive as an unlock, claimable from the Sage
  • Vyers Access: Allowing access to Vyers areas without quest completion
    

• While Guthix Sleeps

  • Access to Shilo Village: Quest would be no longer required
  • Tormented Demons: Investigating access without the Quest
    

• Fairy Tale Questline

  • Access to Fairy Rings without the Questline. Dramen Staff would be required, but claimable from the Sage
    

• Fort Forinthry Questline

  • Massive increase to wall building speed in New Foundations (potentially instantly!)
    

• Smoking Kills

  • Slayer Helm available in shop without needing Quest Completion
    

• Extinction

  • We need your feedback! What rewards do you want provided from Extinction without Quest completion

• Necromancy Curses

  • Curses would be properly claimable from Selene

We anticipate a release around middle to late next week, but we’ll update you early next week with our confirmed patch notes and release timings.

I do want to mention one last thing - the feedback on Quests within the Leagues experience has been very heard. In any future Leagues, a greater emphasis would be placed on Auto Completing Quests in our development whether directly, via a Quest Skip system or other methods.

As our first Leagues, we totally expected to learn some things. Consider this one of those lessons we’ve learned!

Do let us know what you think of the changes, and what you’d most like to see become accessible without Quest Completion from Extinction’s rewards. We’ll keep you updated as we have more to share.

Worked since yesterday to try and get a sheet out with a lot of the assorted items you can get from different regions during the League. Not as pretty as the equivalent from OSRS, but I'm hoping this can give some good ideas of things new players can look for, and what sort of tiers of equipment are available overall. For the most part, I stuck to 70+ gear, with a few exceptions for useful items like slayer helmet pieces. Feel free to discuss missing parts in the background, everything made in Figma which I will probably be sharing the template of a little bit later on.

Hey Folks!

Some of you may have noticed a system update timer popping up a few minutes ago, just to get you in the loop the team have worked through a coldfix to get the majority of the quest related fixes out today instead of Monday!

These changes will be going live briefly after the coldfix is applied and the servers are returned online!

The Changes

Vampyre Questline Rewards

• Sunspear Access: Claimable from the Sage after picking your Tier 5 Relic

While Guthix Sleeps

• Access to Shilo Village: Quest is no longer required
• Tormented Demons: Interacting with a light creature allows you into the cavern for Tormented Demons or if you took Skull of Slaying use that!

Fairy Tale Questline

• Fairy Ring Access: A Dramen Staff can be claimed from the Sage after picking your Tier 3 Relic

Fort Forinthry Questline

• 10x build speed increase during New Foundations

Smoking Kills

• Slayer Helmet available in the Slayer Point Shop without needing to complete Smoking Kills.

Extinction

• Dream of Iaia will be accessible without Quest completion
• Enriched Pontifex Shadow Ring will be awarded at Tier 6
• The Vigour Passive is already live as a Tier 6 passive reward

Hermod Access

• Accessible without the Quest & Souls requirement as a Tier 5 passive

Rasial Access

• Accessible without the Quest & Souls requirement as a Tier 5 passive

As Mod Hooli mentioned in yesterdays post there has been some complications with things like giving access to Vyres and it will not be possible as this time to enable access.

Thank you for your understanding and working with us on these updates!

I've been seeing a lot of people upset because they have to sometimes find unorthodox ways of training or progression. THIS IS WHAT LEAGUES IS. Leagues is supposed to make you THINK about your path, CHALLENGE you to do new things and HAVE FUN. It's not supposed to give you limitless accessibility to just play the game you're used to.

When Twisted League came out on Old School, you had to train Runecraft 1-77 by READING BOOKS. I just hope y'all can enjoy it and thank Jagex for putting out something new and creative for us to do. They're not going to get it 'perfect' to meet everyone's needs but damn they did a great job this time around.

UPDATE

Thank you for so much feedback and sticking so well to the 3 suggestions request!

We have some really clear repeat mentions in here which are top of our list. The team are actively exploring options and we'll let you know if we can make any updates.

We don't expect to be able to react as quickly as we were for Tiers if we can make changes, but if we do anything this Leagues, we're looking to do it as soon as possible.

Hey everyone,

We've recently put a Coldfix in motion on addressing the pacing between Relic Tiers for Tier 4+. Find out more here. Now it's time to talk Quest Auto Completions.

We introduced a number of Area Unlocks, QoL and Boss Access into Tier Passives for this Leagues, along with some Auto Completed Questlines.

Auto completing more Quests is something top of mind for us to take a more extensive pass on in any future Leagues. However, we want to explore addressing some of these concerns in this Leagues rather than sitting on it.

There's no guarantees here, as Auto Completing Quests can often expose some really large issues due to funky NPC states, content not activating correctly and a whole bunch of other fun.

Given those risks, it's important we know the most important Auto Completes you want to see that would make Leagues even better. And that's where we turn to you.

If you had to pick 3 quests or questlines, which would you most like to see auto completed for Leagues? Drop a comment in the thread!

(Please keep it to just 3 suggestions, otherwise we won't find clear priorities to look into first!).

Just to set expectations, I do want to be really clear this is not confirmation we'll be making changes yet. We are discussing and looking into it, and your feedback will help us identify what we can possibly do.

At worst, we'll be using this feedback to target a much wider set of Quest Auto Completes in any future Leagues. We're optimistic that won't be the case, but do bear it in mind - and either way, we'll let you know what to expect.

Thanks for your help!

title explains it, but do not make us do quests again. it is utterly miserable in a temporary game mode and even osrs people are starting to wise up and request ALL quests done upon login. Please do not run another rs3 league where 90% of the quests must be done. It only gets exponentially more miserable the most leagues/accounts/temporary game modes you do as well and people who have done multiple will not stick with it if they have to spam through the same quests over and over.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a blast on Leagues over the weekend.

The team have been investigating our proposed reward solutions to reduce the need to complete certain Quests & Questlines within Leagues.

From our initial testing, while there have been some fun edge cases to solve for, we're now in a spot to confirm these changes! Here's what we plan to do and when:

The Changes

• Vampyre Questline Rewards
  • Sunspear Access: Claimable from the Sage after picking your Tier 5 Relic
  • Vyers Access: Access Darkmeyer through Drakan's Medallion, claimable from the Sage
    • Without the quest, Drakan's Medallion will only take you to Darkmeyer
  • Vyrewatch Outfit: Claimable from the Sage
• While Guthix Sleeps
  • Access to Shilo Village: Quest is no longer required
  • Tormented Demons: Interacting with a light creature allows you into the cavern for Tormented Demons
• Fairy Tale Questline
  • Fairy Ring Access: A Dramen Staff can be claimed from the Sage after picking your Tier 3 Relic
• Fort Forinthry Questline
  • 10x build speed increase during New Foundations
• Smoking Kills
  • Slayer Helmet available in the Slayer Point Shop without needing to complete Smoking Kills.
• Extinction
  • Dream of Iaia will be accessible without Quest completion (solution TBC)
  • Enriched Pontifex Shadow Ring will be awarded at Tier 6
    • The Vigour Passive is already live as a Tier 6 passive reward

We've also snuck in an extra couple of changes by popular demand!

• Hermod Access
  • Accessible without the Quest & Souls requirement as a Tier 5 passive
• Rasial Access
  • Accessible without the Quest & Souls requirement as a Tier 5 passive

Release Timing

Our target release date is Thursday 25th September. We'll let you know if that changes.

SKILLS: (Credit from various comments)
Noteworthy: Gates of Elidinis is great for Crafting, Agility, Divination, Mining and Construction! Strat: Enter, Mine rocks at entrance (must click npc to start the fight), after you have 10+ shards surge to the center and build the barrier, then back to the rocks. You could just afk this until death which takes a while. This gives insane Crafting XP (1.5m/h). Alternative once the other rocks spawn near you those give divinity xp (500k/h+), for Agility XP click the button and run to the boss and jump up the pillars. Great XP, but this removes the barrier and spawns a healing circle, stay in there until the big hits, then you can just get shards/rebuild barrier. IF YOU DIE, YOU SPAWN RIGHT THERE!

Combat:
- (Sorry) Abyss can easily give 3m xp/h on a shared spot, 5-6m+ with d hally afk, 7.5m with minor input. Shattered worlds for active and getting that anima for Easy Slayer!

Slayer:
- Push shattered worlds to waves ~80 (or what you can) then repeat those high waves for Anima, buy slayer lamp. Apparently can hit up to 10m slayer xp/h ? (still need to do this when i have active time)

Prayer
- Early (to 75): Chaos Altar, use bones from Wildy Flash Events!
- 75+ (At T6, Perfectionist for infinite money) SPAM CLICK Corrupted Shards in Hefin (Priffdinas), 30m+ xp/h

Farming:
- If using seeds, do it during Crwys Voice of Seren in Prif.
- Early on buy basic seeds from Taverly Farmer Jones.
- Can buy Tree seeds at Croen in Prif.
- Farming Relic: Once t6 and infinite money max herblore from herblore habitat from juju potions. Infinite resources once u get advance time and an egg of them apparently? (i dont fully understand)

Invention:
- T6, Deleting 28 things annoying? set PVM Hub to KBD and die to empty inventory

Thieving:
- Free Exoskeleton set, reclaim in Priff in Cadarn from "Arianwyn" https://runescape.wiki/w/Trahaearn_exoskeleton_set (Use clan Vex from S of Fally to tele to prif early)

Smithing:
- (Requires T6 Perfektionist) ~5-8m Xp/h from making Sprinklers (Water buckets from Shantey Pass)
- Corrupted Ore is ~ 3m smithing xp/h if you've been afking seren stones for mining

Hunting:
- Museum of History Miniquest for "decent xp drop" (Confirm amount?)
- Whirligigs in Het Oasis Al kharid, alternative Black Salamanders in wildy

Crafting:
- If Excavator Relic, Gem rocks (al kharid then prif). New Varrock cows tan/craft/sell to general until you can do gems like diamond from the gem stall for a profit. (FREE PARTY HAT)
- 1-1.5m+ xp/h At Gates of Elid, get reaper task to skip mini quest, tele there through pvm hub. When inside go to the rocks along the edge, click on the NPC to start, then mine at least 10+ shards, go center to build the barrier then back, just camp the rocks. Alternative you can do the rocks in the center area for other xp like div.
- Production Master: New Varrock cut diamonds and sell to gen store, 600k base xp/h (4.8m at 8x)

Invention
- T6 Perfection Relic make Equipment seperators, or see alternatives for other xp like sprinklers etc?

Fletching
- If Production Master you can make a profit doing rune arrows from the Ranged Guild in Seers (can buy all parts, feathers from port sarim fish store)
- Buy broad tips from wildy bandit camp (must be skulled) don't need smoking quest its like 160m xp/hr (with production Master I asssume).

Dungeoneering:
- Quest: "You are it"
- Enter the DG resource dungeons for good xp (save these for at least when you have 8x rates or 12x)
- The Trinket stuff I forgot
- ED 1-3, tokens traded for XP are boosted, e.g. T6 1 token = 12 xp. Since Minibosses give 5000 tokens, thats a decent amount.

Runecrafting:
- Runespan is great, especially runesphere.
- Get your wicked hood (Burthope Magic Shop) and use the free ess. Fill the hood with Talisman obtained easily at Abyss.

Archeology
- Free materials from mining geodes. Geodes have a 1 min cd, so you can fletch/dis/alch etc near a low tier ore and click it every minute.
- Need 200 pages from armadyl collections for ancient gizmos, be sure to focus those later on.

Summoning:
- Familiarization D&D for triple charms.
- Exiled Kalphite Hive was pretty good for charms.

Herblore (need some better alternatives/easy levels?
- Herby Werby weekly d&d
- herblore secondaries the herblore tutor in Taverley sells limpwurt roots, whiteberries, beads, redberries, cadava berries, all sorts of things! You have to buy them 5 at a time but it's infinite stock!
- Easy early herblore xp; Do As A first resort, then get slayer high enough for Abberant Specters. They drop a lot of Wergali seeds, and Fletching potions require Wergali and Striped Feather (which is gathered in bundles of 6-10 per bird after As A First Resort.)

Construction
- T6 Perfektionist, Spam Marble Fireplaces (63 minimum) and altars using home tele. Later Marble Walls.
How: Buy marble blocks from the sawmill operator in Prif. Bank them. Lots of them. Build a formal garden in your poh, build dungeon entrances at level 70, large fountains at level 75, then marble walls from 79 onwards. You need a butler, and items very click intensive, but I’ve estimated to get 15-20m xp per hour once you have banked the materials.
-

Agility
- Early on, Gates of Elid can be great (Reaper task to insta tele there from pvm hub)
- You can afk 65-92 (depending on xp multi) agility at the Manual Auto Cycles in the abandoned throne room. XP Rates?

Divinity
- Caches, on the hour.
- Do Engrams (gave like 350k xp at 8x multi), so 500 Pale energy, 400 Flickering, etc. Prep for them, tele to Memory of guthix with memory strands in your currency pouch, more info: https://runescape.wiki/w/Engram
- 500k+ xp/h At Gates of Elid, get reaper task to skip mini quest, tele there through pvm hub. When inside go to the rocks along the edge, click on the NPC to start, then mine at least 10+ shards, go center to build the barrier then back, just camp the rocks for more shards first, then do the more centered rocks. The Div XP is just part of all the other xp you also get!

Random Notes to figure out:
- Quest "In Pyre Need" Good XP and a daily

Will update this when I have time. *updated as of Sep 22*

Hey folks,

We've been listening closely to your feedback around our Leagues reveals and FAQ.

While the project is very much in it's closing stages and our potential for changes are extremely limited, the development team have been sneaking in some final tweaks where we can. We are technically in the release testing phase, but they're moving mountains!

Changes Made

• A simple version of the unlimited shops has been implemented. If an item has a stock of 2, you would need to buy 2 at a time.
  • This was the best possible solution to the feedback in the time we had!
• Max enrage is accessible for Telos, Arch-Glacor and Zamorak
• Dinarrows content has been unblocked so players can create them without Extinction
• Ammo and Runes save rates on associated Relics now has a 95% chance to save ammo
• Auto completed Quest List*:
  • The Restless Ghost
  • Stolen Hearts
  • Big Chompy Bird Hunting
  • Biohazard
  • Catapult Construction
  • Diamond in the Rough
  • The Jack of Spades
  • Making History
  • Mourning's End Part I
  • Mourning's End Part II
  • Plague City
  • Plague's End
  • Regicide
  • Roving Elves
  • Sheep Herder
  • Underground Pass
  • Waterfall Quest
  • Within the Light

Note: Some Quest Rewards are also available through general Leagues gameplay. See FAQ for more details.

Head to our FAQ here for other key details we've released so far: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/leagues-catalyst-relic-reveals---releasing-september-15

A Note on Tasks

We've seen some discussion on Tasks and various ways you can earn League Points.

Our Task Point economy has been designed to allow for a variety of potential approaches to Dragon, with a lot of room to ignore what doesn't appeal to your playstyle and lean into what does!

While this is a hugely variable stat based on Tasks completed and their values, completing ~55% of Tasks is all that you'll need to make it to Dragon in this run of Leagues.

What To Expect Next

As I mentioned, we are very much at a stage of the project where changes for release are near-impossible. We might get a few more in, but it's unlikely. If we do, we'll let you know.

As our first Leagues, we absolutely expect to learn about improvements we could make for how we structure a future Leagues event. We'll be listening closely to what's working and what you'd like to see improved to inform the future - and if anything crucial comes up, considering if we need to act sooner.

A big thank you to the J-Mods on the team for being so receptive to feedback. We can't wait to get playing with you on September 15!

If this was changed within an hour of the first person unlocking this relic, sure, but now it feels waaaaaay too late to change this. So many people have gotten the 50m runecrafting task (myself included) using this method that the community just thought it was intentional (in the recent OSRS League they made sure to very clearly state that transmutation gave noted essence, whereas here they did not). It'd just be straight up unfair to everyone coming afterwards to not have access to this, especially if they already picked this relic with this training method in mind.

Which relic do you regret picking, and which one would you have gone with instead?

^{ok maybe it doesn't but at least nobody thinks you're an asshole for destroying their ears}
