Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM
We're charging towards the August 10th launch of Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM! As the countdown continues, we've been revealing more of the powerful Relics and Blessings you'll wield on your journey. Check out the latest reveals here!
Additionally theorycrafting for Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM has been a big topic of discussion throughout the community! Be sure to join in on the Official Discord and Reddit threads
We're continually updating the FAQ section of our ongoing reveal blog, but here are some extra notes courtesy of Mod Breezy:
- Mod Breezy on Barkscales and Teragard's Aegis
- Mod Breezy on the 6 week length of Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM
Player Owned Housing
- All bosses listed in the Beasts tab now drop boss trophies for your Player-Owned House (and there's even a shiny new marble plinth type for you to display them on!) Check out todays Patch Notes to see which ones have been added today.
- YOU WILL NEVER MISCLICK BETWEEN MUSHROOMS ON A FAIRY RING EVER AGAIN (direct quote from Mod Ramen)
- We're pleased to confirm that we've stabilised the performance issues that the game might experience if we increased the furniture limit. However, implementing this change requires a game engine update, which is next planned for September (game engine updates occur less frequently than game or content updates due to a variety of technical factors)
HCIM Leaderboard
- The work to restore the HCIM Leaderboards is being completed this morning and after today they only display true and accurate player data! Check them out here!
- As mentioned in last week's blog, we needed to refresh the HCIM Leaderboards and remove corrupted player data from them. To find out more about this, have a look here!
- The affected leaderboards were: "RuneScore" and all "Activities" leaderboards.
- Special thanks to Mod Lykos for individually handling so much of the technical complexities of this change.
What's Happening this Week:
- Look out for our regular Month Ahead for August, dropping in the middle of this week!
- The countdown to Leagues continues! Throughout this week we will continue with daily reveals of new Relics, Blessings and answering your pressing FAQs!
- Still got the Dungeoneering Bug? Well, Mod Yuey is being joined by Edimmuz and Legos as we take on 3 Elite Dungeons! This Wednesday on our official RuneScape Twitch at 15:00 Game Time!
- To round off an exciting week of League reveals, join Mod Yuey, Breezy, Desert, and Pickle live on the official RuneScape Twitch channel on Friday, August 7th at 16:00 Game Time for a deep dive into all things Leagues!

Marketplace Bundles - Anniversary Architect & Party packs
New Marketplace bundles have arrived! Being injected into the new Player Owned Housing system, these bundles act a little differently to other bundles on the marketplace. They contain a set number of furniture items, rather than cosmetics. As such, each bundle can be purchased multiple times.
The Anniversary Architect and Party Packs bundles bring a range of decorative items to your Player Owned House, giving you even more ways to customise, celebrate, and show off your style.
Anniversary Architect
A collection of anniversary-themed POH decorations, featuring heroic wall displays, commemorative furnishings, charming plush mascots, and decorative stonework to celebrate your adventures in style. Grab this bundle for 540 Runecoins.
Party pack
A festive collection of colourful balloons and bunting to help transform your home into the ultimate celebration space. All yours for 360 Runecoins.
Or maybe you want to show off with a bang! Then the Party Cannons bundle is for you! Pick it up for 270 Rune Coins.
