PSA: As Leagues V draws to a close, make sure to log into your account before Leagues V wraps up next week! This ensures your League points are successfully transferred to the main game.

If you’re having trouble getting your League Points to transfer, opening up the Relics or Area interface should force them to register.

Leagues V: Raging Echoes rewards are officially live!

After weeks of fighting epic battles, completing jaw-dropping feats, and racking up those hard-earned League Points, it’s finally time to claim your just rewards. We gave you all the juicy details in our previous blog here, but here’s a quick refresher on some of the most coveted prizes.

[h2]PoH Spirit Tree[/h2]

Want to give your Player-Owned House that next-level upgrade? The Raging Echoes PoH Spirit Tree is a showstopper that celebrates your love for Leagues and ensures every visitor can appreciate your grind.

This is only a small peek at the rewards on offer – there are plenty more to unlock! From the Raging Echoes Relic Hunter Outfit to new trophies and a treasure trove of other League-themed goodies, there’s something functional, fantastic, or flex-worthy for everyone. Claim your rewards from the Leagues Tutor in Lumbridge Castle Courtyard and let all of Gielinor see your glory!

Reward point changes

We’ve heard your concerns about the reward costs feeling a bit steep, so we’ve had a word with the Leagues Tutor about adjusting their prices.

• Echo Ahrim's Ornament Kit: 8,000 → 6,000
• Echo Virtus Ornament Kit: 10,000 → 8,000
• Raging Echoes Death Scroll: 3,000 → 2,000
• Raging Echoes Nexus Scroll: 5,000 → 4,000

With these changes, we hope it’ll feel more rewarding to spend those points and snag the items you’ve been working so hard for. The other rewards will be priced the same as ever:

• Raging Echoes Banner: 500
• Echo Home Teleport Scroll: 1,000
• Raging Echoes NPC Contact Scroll: 5,000
• Echo Venator Bow Ornament Kit: 10,000
• Raging Echoes Relic Hunter Outfits: (T1)1,000, (T2) 5,000 and (T3) 20,000
• Raging Echoes Spirit Tree Scroll: 6,000
• Raging Echoes Rug: 500
• Raging Echoes Curtains: 500
• Raging Echoes Scrying Pool Scroll: 3,000
• Raging Echoes Portal Scroll: 1,000

We’ve broken down the cost of some items into individual components to give you greater flexibility. For example, a complete Portal Room was initially priced at 6,000 League Points but can now be purchased as a separate Scrying Pool and three Portals. This way, you can pick and choose what works best for you!

Discord HiScores

Curious how the competition is shaping up? Here’s a peek at the Leagues V leaderboard!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!


With only a week left to make your mark, now’s the perfect time to push for glory. Join in on the fun and aim for the top in the #Leagues-leaderboard Discord channel.

There will be no changes to Leagues V this week, but we’ve carefully noted down all your feedback for future Leagues. We know how much you’ve enjoyed diving into Raging Echoes, especially during the Christmas break, but that period is also a holiday for most of the J-Mods. With limited staff available to monitor or resolve issues, we typically refrain from making updates during this period. This break not only allows our team to step back and recharge, it also ensures the game remains stable.

Now that we're into the New Year, the team are looking forward to working on all the exciting stuff we have planned for 2025. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and the support you've shown this League, and we hope you enjoy making the most of the final week!

[h2]Minimap Subsection in the Settings Menu[/h2]

We’ve given the Interface section of the Settings Menu a bit of a tidy-up! Previously, all Minimap-related settings were scattered throughout the Interface section. Now, we've added a dedicated Minimap subsection there, making it easier than ever for you to find and adjust your Minimap settings! Below, you can see how the new Minimap subsection looks on both the Official Client and mobile.

[h2]HiScores Panel Arrows Get a Dynamic Update[/h2]

In other UI news, we've also made a small tweak to the HiScores Panel arrows. Up until now, the arrows for different sections of the panel remained unchanged, regardless of whether a section was expanded or collapsed. You'll now find that these arrows dynamically update depending on the section state, making navigation clearer.

Trouble Brewing is a minigame all about brewing big batches of booze, but since some changes we made last May, it seems some of you (especially Iron accounts) have been fermenting a little too much XP! Honest Jimmy’s been keeping tabs, and he reckons you’ve had more than your fill, so we’re slightly scaling down XP rates for a few actions in the minigame to keep things balanced. Here's what’s on tap now:

• Boiler Pressure now awards 25 Strength XP for increasing the pressure.
• Lighting Logs grant 100 Firemaking XP when lit in the Boiler.
• Collecting a Bitternut gives 50 Hunter XP, with an extra 200 Cooking XP when you deposit it into the Hopper.
• Fletching Scrapey Bark now earns 50 Fletching XP, and depositing it into the Hopper rewards 100 Cooking XP.
• Catching Sweetgrubs now gives 40 Hunter XP, with 100 Cooking XP for dropping them into the Hopper.
• Adding your team’s water to the Hopper earns 100 Cooking XP.

Oh, and we’ve also patched up a bug that meant only one of the three boilers on each side gave Firemaking XP when lit. Now, all boilers will reward your fiery efforts as intended.

Thanks for bearing with us as we balance things out - sometimes it takes a little while to spot these quirks, but we appreciate your patience and feedback. Now get back to brewing and make Jimmy proud!
[hr][/hr]


We’ve also managed to squeeze in some additional changes:

• Slayer Helmets now act as warm items at the Wintertodt, thanks to their Earmuff properties.
• The Araxyte Slayer Helmet's Inventory icon has been realigned.
• Players' armour no longer occasionally remains invisible after using the Makeover services.

The Old School Team.

Every time an Old School RuneScape story crops up, there's a period of acclimatisation where I struggle to work out exactly what the players are doing and why. I'm not unfamiliar with the game, having played it way back in the day, but RuneScape at the extremes can be a pretty wild place, a world where players suddenly break the dam on a 16 year-old minigame by overwhelming guards en masse, or some thrillseeker risks a 370-hour no-hit account to get a fancy cape (to be fair, it does have flames)...

We're speeding into the New Year with the long-awaited Run Energy changes! Can we get them for real life?
[hr][/hr]
PSA: Before we get started, please note that the Friends List and Friends Chat may be unavailable for a few minutes following today’s update. We expect this to be resolved very quickly, but content that relies on these systems (such as the Chambers of Xeric) will be impacted for a short while.

Now, on with the newspost!
[hr][/hr]


[expand]
Run Energy Changes

• Considerably improved Energy regeneration at lower Agility levels while leaving it unchanged at Level 99.
• Energy Drains more slowly in all scenarios, at every Weight and Agility level. This becomes more significant as Agility level and Weight increase.

Leagues V

• There are two more weeks left to enjoy Leagues V: Raging Echoes!
• Next week, the Leagues Reward Shop will go live and you’ll be able to spend your hard-earned League Points.

Other Changes

Miscellaneous Changes and Fixes

• Now that you’ve helped the stray dogs of Falador find their fur-ever homes, we’re removing the Christmas 2024 Event. The dogs will remain with their new owners. Feel free to visit and pet them any time!
• Zahur is once again making Huasca Potion (unf) as intended.
• To prevent megascale boosting abuse at Chambers of Xeric, we've changed how unique rewards are distributed. Now players who leave a raid in progress are eligible to receive unique items, but if they would do so, the reward is discarded instead. This ensures that leaving a CoX raid no longer transfers loot chances onto remaining participants.
• Water jugs in the Tombs of Amascut Zebak fight can now be attacked with Magic, as intended.
• Dharok the Wretched no longer deals his max hit on every successful attack after his health has been reduced.
• Fixed an issue where The Whisperer’s tentacles failed to spawn under certain conditions.
• The left-click/tap option on Runecrafting Pouches will now dynamically swap between “Fill” and “Empty”, depending on their status and what you have in your Inventory. If you were using the Menu Entry Swapper for these pouches, you may need to set "Fill" as the left-click option for the dynamic effect to start working.
• Removed a restriction which prevented players from receiving Master Clues for 30 seconds after they last received one.
• Increased Combat Achievement buffs when choosing how many Barrows Brothers to kill for a Boss Slayer Task, so that the maximum is always a multiple of 6.
• The Scorching Bow now works for a range of demonbane-themed Combat Achievements.
• Tormented Demons and Demonic Gorillas now correctly appear in the Combat Achievements monster drop-down list.
• Fixed an issue where pieces of Barrows or Perilous Moons kits would break prematurely when attempting to drop them with the 'valuable item' warning active.
• Fixed an issue where degraded Perilous Moon kit pieces in free-to-play would delete them.
• The Clothes Pouch Blueprint can now be crafted with the Costume Needle without a thread, as intended.
• You can now start the Make-X processes for creating Stamina, Anti-venom and Antifire Potions without cancelling your character's existing movement.
• You should no longer find that a Portal Nexus to Senntisten transforms into a Portal Nexus to Ardougne (that still takes you to Senntisten) upon teleporting to your POH.
• You should no longer be told about an elusive reward pile when withdrawing rewards from the Wintertodt reward cart.
• When founding a clan with other players, the other founding members are now more likely to be automatically added to it successfully.
• The confirmation warnings for the Plank Make spell can now be toggled on & off via the Settings menu.
• You can now hold more Bonds in your Bond Pouch.

Wilderness Fixes

• Food, potions and the Phoenix Necklace no longer go to the Gravestone in the Wilderness, preventing unintended access to unlimited supply.
• Teleporting to the Wilderness via the Player-Owned House Obelisk now includes an additional warning if the player is in a High Risk World.

GIM Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the GIM Combat Achievements were showing missing points when all duo GIM tasks were completed.
• Fixed a bug allowing the use of Ghommal's Hilt 6, claimed in a GIM account for a completed Combat Achievement, on a regular account after conversion.

Visual Fixes

• Fixed visual glitches affecting certain basic clothing items when wielding the Cursed Banana.
• The Cursed Banana attack animation is now properly displayed while walking.
• Horns of the following helms now properly align on Body Type B:
  • Fremennik Helm
  • Archer Helm
  • Farseer Helm
  • Warrior Helm
  • Berserker Helm
• Fixed an animation issue where the player character turns around while crossing the gangplanks in Corsair Cove. Showoff!

Have Your Say!

Every few months you may encounter in-game pop-up boxes asking you to rate your experience with the game. There are two kinds of questions:

• A survey question about specific content which varies between scales of 1-5 and 1-10, depending on context.
• A survey question about your overall satisfaction with the game. This question will appear more infrequently – about once every 9 months.

These pop-ups will only appear while you are idle in a safe place, to avoid disrupting your gameplay. If you’d rather not answer, you can disable these messages in the Settings menu.

PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period A:

• 539 - (US) - PvP World
• 318 - (UK) - Bounty Hunter World
• 548 - (Germany) - High-Risk PvP World
• 577 - (US) - Free-to-Play PvP World
• 559 - (UK) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been activated with this rota.

No matter what your New Year’s resolution is, we expect you to hit the ground running in 2025!

Throughout 2024, we held two separate betas featuring three iterations of changes to one of Old School's hottest topics: how fast your Run Energy drains and restores. We've chatted about this loads in our beta blogs (which you can find here and here) so we'll spare you from us digging too deep into the 'why' for these changes, since that's old news at this point!

You’ll notice that the numbers below differ from those in our second beta, because we went away and made changes based on your feedback. We’ll also be responding to your feedback after today, in the knowledge that while some activities will be easier, this change is by no means game-breaking.

At a glance, here’s what’s changing:

• Considerably improved Energy regeneration at lower Agility levels while leaving it unchanged at Level 99.
• Energy Drains more slowly in all scenarios, at every Weight and Agility level. This becomes more significant as Agility level and Weight increase.

Now let’s see the graphs!

[h2]Energy Regeneration[/h2]

The existing formula for regenerating energy looks like this: (Agility level / 6) + 8.

Keep in mind that behind the scenes, Run Energy scales between 0 and 10,000. This means that at level 1 Agility, your regen rate is (1 / 6) + 8, which gives a regen rate of 8 per tick (since we always round down). To regenerate from 0% to 100% would take 1,250 ticks, or 12 minutes and 30 seconds. At level 99 Agility, it takes 417 ticks to fully regenerate, or 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

The formula which you'll be experiencing today looks like this: (Agility level / 10) + 15.

If you can’t see the graph above, click here!

This means that in the early stages of the game your Run Energy will regenerate noticeably faster, perfect for those taking their first steps in Gielinor. At later levels this will drop off and your Energy will restore at a similar rate to what you’re used to.

Strictly speaking, this is weaker than our latest beta. It's still strong at early levels, but we've reined in the regen a little to compensate for further improvements to drain rates.

Speaking of...

[h2]Energy Drain Rates[/h2]

In our last beta, Energy Drain was almost always slower than the behaviour you're used to, where anybody above Level 54 Agility would always find themselves running longer before their energy drained to 0. A lot of you felt that drain rates were still a little too high, particularly in the early stages of the game, and that there was still a heavy reliance on passively regenerating by walking or standing still in order to really get value out of your Agility levels.

With that in mind, we've adjusted drain rate further so that it is always an improvement over existing behaviour. It can be a little tricky to show these numbers off easily since both Weight and Agility level play a factor now, but we'll try our best!

For comparison, here's how the behaviour you're used to stacks up against what we're implementing today:

• Existing Drain Rate formula: 67 + ((67
• Weight) / 64)
• Drain Rate formula in today's game update: (60 + (67
• Weight / 64))
• (1 - Agility/300)

We've got a lower base drain rate (from 67 down to 60) and a new multiplier which will reduce your drain rate as your Agility level increases. Ultimately this means you'll always be able to run a little farther than before, but this improvement grows as your Agility level increases and will be more noticeable at higher weights.

This graph illustrates the difference a bit more clearly:

This graph shows drain rate (Energy lost per tick) vs. Agility Level, comparing our proposed formula at various weights to the existing behaviour. Remember that lower is better for drain rate! If you can’t see the graph above, click here!

This graph shows drain rate (Energy lost per tick) vs. Weight (kg), comparing our proposed formula at various Agility levels to the existing behaviour. Just like before, lower is better! If you can’t see the graph above, click here!

As we mentioned above, we’ll be keeping a close eye on your feedback, particularly in places where Run Energy tends to matter like Chambers of Xeric solos, God Wars Dungeon trips, and Herbiboar. We’re especially interested in hearing from newer accounts about how these changes affect early-game questing, Hunter Rumours with limited teleport options, traditional Runecraft, and anything else you’d like us to know about!

Now go on – get those steps in!

There are just two weeks left to enjoy Leagues V: Raging Echoes! Now’s the time to check off those last few goals and scoop up the remaining League Points.

On that note, the Leagues V Reward Shop will open its doors in next week’s update, so you can pick up all the snazzy rewards you’ve had your eyes on. Which ones are your favourites?

We also have a small update to share regarding one of the Leagues V rewards. During testing, we noticed that the POH Portal is actually a bit too big to fit the space, and have since refined the size. In the image below, the portal on the left represents the original concept, while the middle portal reflects the adjusted version, more on par with the size of other portals. This means the middle POH portal is what you'll receive from the Rewards Shop.

We’re wrapping up nice and cozy for the holiday season, so this festive update will be the last one until January 8th.

Accordingly, we’ve crammed in as many Leagues V fixes as we can! Unless major issues arise, you won’t hear a peep from us until we emerge from our Christmas dinner comas next year.

Oh, one last thing -

Happy Holidays from the Old School team!
[hr][/hr]


[expand]

[h3]Christmas 2024 Event[/h3]

• The 2024 Christmas event is here! Speak to Cecilia at the Falador Park to start this year's (p)awesome event!
• Added suitably festive rewards for completing the event.

[h3]Leagues V Fixes[/h3]

Task Fixes

• The "Activate an Arcane or Dexterous Scroll" task has been fixed for players without the Grimoire. You can now complete it by simply reading an Arcane or Dexterous Scroll.
• The chatbox closing prematurely no longer blocks the "Activate the Statue of Ates" task. If you've already met the requirements but the task wasn't registered, the task will be retroactively completed for you when opening the Areas/Relics/Masteries interface from the Leagues V Menu.
• Obtaining the Quetzin now completes the task "Obtain a skilling pet", as intended.

• Equipping the Corrupted Bowfa now correctly completes the regular enhanced weapon Task.

And the following hotfix in case you missed it earlier this week:

Other Changes

We're officially one week into Leagues V: Raging Echoes! While you've been blasting your way through Tasks, agonising over Relic picks and facing off against Echo bosses, our team has been working to fix those first-week bugs.

We've been keeping our Issues and Fixes blog up to date with the changes we've been able to make so far.

We've made the following coldfixes with this week's update:

• The League area emote animation now no longer hides other animations.
• There was a bug causing both the Crush Hour Combat Achievement from Phosani's Nightmare and the Temotli Triumph CA for Amoxliatl to fail.
• The Treasure Arbiter now works with the master cryptic clue featuring Juna.
• "Complete all Combat Tasks" were not registering for Vardorvis, Leviathan, Duke, Whisperer, Araxxor, and Perilous Moons despite all Combat Achievements being completed.
• We fixed a bug causing the Jewelled Crabs at CoX to switch to the wrong attack style when using Nature's Reprisal, plus roll incorrect accuracy with the melee style.
• Players with Grimoire activated can now complete the Task for redeeming an Arcane/Dex scroll, as intended.
• Fixed an issue where players couldn't get hydra or araxyte tasks.
• Equipping the Corrupted Bowfa now correctly completes the regular enhanced weapon Task.

The following hotfix came earlier this week, so in case you missed it:

• Using the Total Recall orb to save a Runecrafting altar in a Region you don't have access to was causing the inability to store new memories to the orb.

We're working through bugs based on priority, so as other issues have cropped up, it's meant some of the bugs listed in the Issues & Fixes blog table are now being looked at in the following week. We'll keep you updated with these fixes as they happen with a table popped at the top of this newspost.

[hr][/hr]


While our GOTR changes came in a few weeks ago, we did spot we may have missed giving a heads up about one of the changes. We know a couple of you were caught out by this so we wanted to share it here to clear it up.

• The minimum point threshold needed to get your hands on rewards has been raised from 150 to 300.

The threshold was raised to avoid unintended behaviour and abuse by hopping between worlds, contributing just enough to snag rewards, and moving on - disrupting the balance we aimed to create with recent scaling changes. The updated threshold should now ensure a more cohesive experience for everyone.
[hr][/hr]


We rolled out our biggest-ever Mobile UI update last month! Among the many improvements, we introduced a scrollbar to the minimenu for entries exceeding 12. This week, we’ve also added a Settings option to toggle the scrollbar on or off, depending on your preference.

We’ve also made some general changes:

• Fixed a bug with the Rock Cake stall which prevented progress on the Watchtower Quest in main game worlds.
• The Rune Thrownaxe’s special attack now correctly deals damage when bouncing after being used on the doors of the Dagannoth Kings’ lair.
