- The number of Points provided by the Tasks do not matter, only the number of Tasks.[/*]

What's New?
From new Relics to Combat Masteries and Echo bosses, Leagues V has plenty in store. We shared these in our Leagues V Teasers and FAQs blog, filled with videos and infographics to feast your eyes on. You can also check the FAQ spreadsheet!Echo Bosses
Leagues V introduced nine fearsome, yet familiar foes. You may think you know how to beat these beasts, but you’re in for a shock – the Echo Bosses have some real surprises in store for you. There’s an Echo Boss in every unlockable region, but not in the two starting zones. These encounters bring game-changing unique rewards that you might want to consider when planning your region picks. Check out this video from Scritic to find out more about them! https://youtu.be/xVVScpoJWeM If you can't view the video above, click here to watch it!Combat Masteries
Another huge new feature is Combat Masteries. Complete Combat Mastery Tasks and you’ll earn yourself points to spend on style-focused abilities. Each style has six Tiers, and with a maximum of 10 Points available you'll need to carefully decide where to spend them. As with other Leagues choices, there's no backsies! Check out the video or infographic below for more information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZUx6GRHls If you can't view the video above, click here to watch it! There's so much to get into when it comes to Combat Masteries, so check out the handy infographic for the full breakdown.
QoL Updates
The newest League also brings some Quality of Life changes:- Re-enabled the Blast Furnace shop.[/*]
- Removed the blacklist for locations where Bankers’ Note could not be used.[/*]
- Marks of Grace, Hallowed Marks, Agility vouchers and Stardust now benefit from the minigame multiplier.[/*]
- Tripled the quantity of Nihil Shard drops.[/*]
- Points are only transferred over to your main save every 500 Points accrued, to reduce server load. If you notice a discrepancy in Points between your main and League profile, this is why![/*]
- Disabled the ability to purchase XP in Pest Control and Soul Wars. A flat 2x combat XP multiplier has been added as a Relic passive to compensate.[/*] [list]
- The hope here is that nobody will feel confined to minigames, when they could be out exploring all the League has to offer.[/*]
- The increased combat power plus another 2x XP rates (so this is 32x combat XP at max rates) will mean you can train your stats very quickly.[/*]
- Making darts and arrows by using feathers on them. This is capped at making up to 10x at a time.[/*]
- Fletching Achey Logs.[/*]
- Making pizza and pies.[/*]
Area Unlocks
We know you’ve been clamouring to unlock a fourth area, but we believe this would diminish what makes the area unlock system so exciting to build around. Instead, we’ve made some changes to address your biggest pain points:- Items dropped from bosses that require more than one region to become useable now drop as the finished component.[/*] [list]
- This includes the Venator Vestige and the Hydra Claw.[/*]
- Masori Armour and Ward of Elidinis will not drop as finished items, as they are usable when dropped.[/*]
- To compensate for the increase in purples, we’ve decreased the drop rates for these modes specifically from 3x to 2x. This means you’ll get less purples per hour solo, but greatly increased purples per hour with friends.[/*]
- CoX remains untouched from last League.[/*]
Leagues Firsts
As always there are a number of Leagues firsts up for grabs, for those daring enough to take on this additional challenge. This year we’re tracking the following achievements:- Complete Inferno[/*]
- Unlock a Tier 8 Relic[/*]
- Unlock a 5th Region[/*]
- Achieve a level 99[/*]
- Achieve total level 2277[/*]
- Complete Tombs of Amascut (solo)[/*]
- Complete Theatre of Blood (solo)[/*]
- Complete Chambers of Xeric (solo)[/*]
- Finish a Combat Mastery Path[/*]
- Defeat an Echo Boss[/*]
Rewards
Every League brings a new Banner, Home Teleport Animation, and Leagues Outfit, so you can show off your progress wherever you go. Plus, we have a range of new rewards to get your mitts on, including ornament kits, animations and some new decor for your POH. Check them all out in the dedicated Rewards blog. You’ll also be able to get your hands on a series of Trophies, depending on where you place in the final ranking. Note: Rewards will be released after the League ends.Leagues Membership Package
To take part in Leagues, you need to use an account with an active membership. Following your feedback from last year, we know that some of you want access to a Membership package that will last you the span of the League – the last thing you should be worrying about is how much time is left on your account! This year we’re introducing a Membership Package that will last 57 days – the full length of the League. This is a time-limited offer, so make sure to grab yours before it's too late! This offer is available to purchase right now and will be only available until December 3rd. Both new and returning members can partake, including those who’ve bought membership with Bonds while the promotion is active. You can find the deal here at this link, taking you to the Store page and prompting you to login to your game account.Leagues Merch
