OSRS Update: Leagues 5 Rewards, Mini Menu Improvements, and More
Jan-23-2025 PSTWelcome back, adventurers! Today is update day in OSRS, and as always, there’s plenty to unpack. From the conclusion of League 5 to quality-of-life updates that improve gameplay mechanics, this article summarizes everything you need to know. Whether you prefer skimming through or diving deep into the details, keep this guide handy to explore the latest changes in OSRS.
Leagues 5 Rewards: What’s New?
Leagues 5 has officially ended, and the rewards are finally available. After a month of grinding, players can now redeem their hard-earned League Points for a variety of exclusive items. Here’s what you need to know:
New Rewards
• Echo Venator Bow Ornament Kit: This stylish kit transforms your Venator Bow into a sleek, unique masterpiece. While the Grand Exchange (GE) value is currently around 4 million GP, it’s a worthwhile addition for mid-to-high-level PvMers or fashion enthusiasts.
• Varrock and Arceuus Teleport Scrolls: These allow players to unlock exclusive animations, including falling into a mysterious abyss or flying skyward during teleports. While visually engaging, the Darkmeyer-themed scroll seems to have won fans over.
• Relic Hunter Tier Sets: New Relic Hunter gear is available in three tiers. While not as flashy as previous years, the Tier 2 hat is a stylish addition for pure accounts.
Market Analysis
Items like the Echo Venator Bow Ornament Kit and Verac’s Robe Ornament Kit are particularly popular due to their visual appeal and utility. Based on a GE test sale, the kit fetched about 3–4 million GP per item. If you’ve saved up League Points, prioritizing these high-demand items is a solid strategy to maximize your earnings.
Mini Menu and UI Improvements
Jagex has introduced several quality-of-life updates to improve everyday gameplay. These include:
Right-Click Improvements
• Players can now right-click items like the Ring of Wealth or Ring of Duelling to directly access teleportation options. This feature eliminates the need to open multiple menus, saving precious seconds during PvP or wilderness runs.
• Spellbooks also benefit from this update. Switching between spellbooks now requires fewer clicks, enhancing combat efficiency.
Shift-Click Customization
With the Runelite plugin, players can customize shift-click functionality to further streamline gameplay. For instance, setting your teleport destination with a simple shift-click eliminates the need for a Seed Pod, reducing inventory clutter.
Deposit Lock Settings
Say goodbye to filling your bank with fillers! The new Deposit Lock Settings allows players to lock specific inventory slots, ensuring items in those slots aren’t deposited into the bank. Here’s how it works:
1. Access the settings menu.
2. Click on Deposit Lock Settings.
3. Lock individual slots by right-clicking or selecting the lock icon.
This update is particularly useful for skillers who want to keep tools or stackable resources on hand without worrying about accidental deposits.
Leagues 5 Reward Showcase
After testing the new rewards, here’s a quick breakdown of their highlights:
Echo Venator Bow Ornament Kit
The revamped Venator Bow looks stunning, making it a popular choice among PvMers. Its 4 million GP price tag reflects its demand, but if you’re a dedicated League player, this is a must-have.
Verac’s Robe Ornament Kit
While the icons look simplistic, the in-game appearance is far better. The helm, in particular, is a standout piece, ideal for wilderness PvP setups.
Arceuus and Varrock Curtains
Decorate your Player-Owned House (POH) with these new, customizable curtain options. Though simple, they add a touch of personalization to your POH.
Portal Nexus Rug
A subtle yet classy addition to the Portal Nexus area. While it’s not groundbreaking, it complements the Nexus setup nicely.
Maximizing League Rewards
If you’re looking to turn League Points into OSRS gold, prioritize buying high-value items like the Venator Bow kit or Verac’s kit. Based on current prices, focusing on these rewards yields the highest returns. After testing, an average League run resulted in about 19 million GP—a modest sum for the time invested, but still rewarding for dedicated players.
FashionScape: Relic Hunter Sets
The new Relic Hunter sets are underwhelming compared to last season’s flashy designs. However, the hats in Tier 2 and 3 are versatile enough for casual wear or pure accounts. While they might not dominate the fashion scene, they remain solid collector’s items.
Miscellaneous Updates
• New Items on the GE: Several Leagues items, such as the Spirit Tree Scroll, are now tradeable. If you missed out during Leagues, this is your chance to purchase them.
• Animation Overhaul: The new teleport animations bring a fresh touch to everyday gameplay, though opinions are divided on whether they surpass older effects.
Conclusion: Worth Your Time?
While the monetary rewards from Leagues 5 might not make you a millionaire overnight, the exclusive items and quality-of-life updates enrich the overall gameplay experience. The mini-menu improvements alone streamline skilling and combat, making this update a win for both casual and competitive players.
