OSRS Leagues: Trailblazer Reloaded
I dont know how many people here play Runescape, but the latest seasonal League has just started a day or two ago.
It is a temporary event during which you start a new profile and all the xp rates and drop rates are boosted considerably, making it really fast to level up and progress.
Ive been having a blast with it. Its a fun way to try out skills you dont typically enjoy and get up to hogh level quickly.
For those playing, what relics and areas have you chosen? Ive unlocked Kandarin as my first area and am currently levelling slayer so I can finally try out the trident of the seas on my ironman account.
I love OSRS Leagues!
For areas I'm taking Zeah, Tiranwnn, and Varlmore. Gonna go with a range build! I've done melee the last couple Trailblazer leagues, and really missed out trying to range. But it's cool that the combat masteries let you mix up your combat build this time!
For relics I took Power Miner, Dodgy Deals, Clue Compass, and Golden God, so far. I can't believe it's only been 2 days. I feel like I've been playing for a week. 😂 It's barely started!
I was thinking of either Zeah or Varlamore as my second pick too. Kourend seems like it variety of stuff to do, but I havent really explored Varlamore that much since it released so now might be a good time for that.
I picked almost the same relics, except I went for Reloaded so I could also get the Foragers pouch.
They really knocked it out of the park this year, I'm having a blast. Been a nice break from the regular game and all the choices you have this year feel very cohesive if you plan it right. Even if you go in blind, you're probably not going to be disappointed.
Is it for members only?
Yes, I don't believe there's any f2p access.
Dear reader: don’t unlock Morytania first. Pick a region with a good amount of easy/medium tasks first. Unlocking a harder region like Mory first will be a serious blow to your velocity. The fly-by leveling slows down and you’re going to feel the grind set in. Get those easy tasks knocked out first. Barrows will still be there tomorrow, I promise.
Have y’all been doing quests? I’ve only done like three and the XP seems great but I’m caught between not wanting to do quests in Leagues but also feeling like I’m missing out by avoiding them
Certain quests are basically required if you want to do certain content (such as needing Beneath Cursed Sands in desert if you want to do ToA). That said most other quests aren't hard requirements. Leagues is all about fun. If you don't want to do the quest and it's not locking you out of content, no need to do it! You'll get enough experience points through other means.
Certain quests give Leagues points so I do those. Tower of Life, for example, gives both points for doing the quest and is needed for getting the creature creation tasks done. Plus its a good way to skyrocket past the early levels, like with Waterfall.
