Old School RuneScape Leagues VI Changes Patch Notes (23rd April 2026)

Leagues VI Changes

Theories have met power - what a week it's been! Take a look at the initial tweaks for Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts...

Ever since Leagues VI launched last week, Gielinor has been transformed by demonic power. We've been watching it all unfold: time off was booked, theories were crafted, routes were planned, and pacts were made... With the first week of ascended 'Scaping experience now behind us, it's time to roll out those initial tweaks for a smoother League journey. If you haven't seen already, you can check out all the hotfixes we've deployed so far in its dedicated blog post. Now, let's dive into what's changed with this particular update...

Earlier this week, we deployed a hotfix to give everyone 1 free reset for Demonic Pacts. In addition to that, with today's update, "Defeat Hueycoatl 1 time" has now become a pact reset task. This means completing it will give a reset point and if you've already completed this task, you'll be retroactively granted the reset point upon opening the Pacts interface.

Furthermore, we've added pact points to the following existing tasks:

• Equip an Obsidian Cape
• Equip any piece of armour from the moons of peril
• Equip an Echo weapon
• Complete 1 Deep delve

If you've already completed these tasks, pact points will be added to your account retroactively upon opening the Pacts interface. Note that the 40 pact points max limit will still apply.

Last but not least, we've implemented improvements to rebalance Demonic Pacts.

• The boost for all Prayer penetration nodes have been increased to 25% from 15%.
• The boost for Accuracy small nodes have been increased to 25% from 15%, and big nodes to 50% from 35%.
• Small % damage nodes for Magic, Ranged and Melee now also give 10% to global accuracy.

Echo bosses are key milestones in your Leagues journey, even more so this time with pact points and resets locked behind them. We agree with your feedback that they should be more style-agnostic, so we've adjusted some of the defence bonuses to make them easier for builds that were having an overly rough time.

• Ranged defence reduced to 40 from 200
• Magic defence reduced to 20 from 200

• Ranged defence reduced to 90 from 900

• Echo Dagannoth Rex:
• Melee defence reduced to 100 from 255
• Ranged defence reduced to 100 from 255
• Echo Dagannoth Prime:
• Melee defence reduced to 100 from 255
• Magic defence reduced to 100 from 255
• Echo Dagannoth Supreme:
• Ranged defence reduced to 150 from 550
• Magic defence reduced to 100 from 255

• Crawling:
• Ranged defence reduced to 65 from 100
• Magic defence reduced to 65 from 100
• Airborne:
• Melee defence reduced to 50 from 100

• Ranged defence reduced to 70 from 100
• Magic defence reduced to 70 from 100

Additional Echo Boss changes:

• The Bow and Powered Staff within The Gauntlet will now correctly "Regenerate" ammo/charges, the same as the exception that was applied to the Bow of Faerdhinen pre-launch. This means the weapons will now benefit from various pacts.
• Echo Thermonuclear smoke devil will now trigger thorns on its basic attacks.

Upon unlocking Asgarnia:

• A Porcine of Interest, Sheep Shearer, Cook's Assistant and Restless Ghost quests will be auto-completed. This will also allow you to purchase the Lumbridge Painting from Sir Renitee for 2,000 coins.
• The task "Give Thurgo a redberry pie" will be auto-completed.
• If you've already unlocked Asgarnia, all of the above will be retroactively completed when you next open the Area/Relic interface.

Upon unlocking Kandarin:

• Elemental Workshop II quest and the task to complete it will be auto-completed.
• Likewise, the Skrach Uglogwee subquest from Recipe for Disaster will be auto-completed. This will also allow you to get raw jubblies by baiting them with balloon toads.
• If you've already unlocked Kandarin, all of the above will be retroactively completed when you next open the Area/Relic interface.

Upon unlocking The Desert:

• Shadow of the Storm quest and the task to complete it will be auto-completed.
• If you've already unlocked The Desert, the above will be retroactively completed when you next open the Area/Relic interface.

Upon unlocking Morytania:

• The task "Smuggle some rum" will be auto-completed.
• The "Use an Ectophial to return to Port Phasmatys" medium diary will be auto-completed. This will also allow you to get Morytania Legs 2, which provides the Ghostspeak Amulet effect for claiming an Ectophial.
• If you've already unlocked Morytania, all of the above will be retroactively completed when you next open the Area/Relic interface.

Upon unlocking Kourend:

• The task "Craft 100 Aether Runes" will be auto-completed.
• If you've already unlocked Kourend, the above will be retroactively completed when you next open the Area/Relic interface.

• A new task has been added to the Fremmenik Province: "Defeat Vorkath 15 times without leaving the area" which has replaced the "Equip a Dragon Crossbow" task, so that any player can complete it regardless of their region unlocks.
• Decorating a Magic Totem in Auburn Valley now completes both of the "Fully Decorate a Redwood Totem in the Auburn Valley" and "Fully Decorate a Magic Totem in the Auburn Valley" tasks.
• Casting Paddewwa Teleport spell in The Desert will now complete the task, without actually teleporting the player.
• Raw Cave Eels have been added to the Ardougne General Store, allowing you to spawn a Frogeel and complete the "Defeat a Frogeel" task.
• Flask of Fervour now will no longer clear any antipoison you may have had.
• Bert will now correctly deliver sand to your bank and properly update the Kandarin Diary progress.

• Endless Harvest no longer prevents trees grown in tree patches from depleting or being chopped down.
• Endless Harvest will now automatically move to a new fishing spot, and this should apply to all fish types.
• Chopping Magic Logs in Tirannwn and Varlamore now correctly count for their respective tasks for the Endless Harvest relic.
• The Flow State relic now correctly works with auto-chiselling dense essence blocks.
• Grimoire relic now lets you use the Ourania Teleport.
• The task to fletch 250 Redwood logs into Arrow shafts can now successfully be completed when you have the Woodsman relic active. This can’t be amended retroactively, so the task may need to be repeated to complete it.
• With the Hotfoot relic active:
• The Ape Atoll Agility Course will now give 2x laps.
• The Prifddinas Agility Course will now give 2x laps.
• The Varlamore Agility Course's leaderboard has been corrected to display the 2x laps.
• The Brimhaven Agility ticket pillars will now give at least 2 before the passive modifiers.
• Players with Barbarian Gathering can now complete the fishing section of the Barbarian Training miniquest.

• Tasks assigned by Slayer Masters in Leagues VI now match their lists in the main game worlds. This means you can be assigned Slayer tasks for monsters such as Naguas, Warped creatures, Metal Dragons, Dagannoths and more. Note that the Slayer Masters will still obey the area restrictions.
• In the same vein, Slayer tasks for bosses now function and roll out correctly with Culling Spree.

• Ammo fired from Dizana's Quiver will now regenerate correctly.
• Soul Shards can now be used to craft combo runes like Sunfire Runes.
• Fixed a bug where Twisted Banshees weren't retaliating.
