The best retro fantasy MMORPG on the planet. Old School is RuneScape but… older! This is the open world you know and love, but as it was in 2007. Saying that, it’s even better than that – Old School is shaped by you, its players, with regular new content, fixes and expansions voted for by the fans!

This is only a small peek at the rewards on offer – there are plenty more to unlock! From the Raging Echoes Relic Hunter Outfit to new trophies and a treasure trove of other League-themed goodies, there’s something functional, fantastic, or flex-worthy for everyone. Claim your rewards from the [url=https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Leagues_Tutor_(Raging_Echoes_League)]Leagues Tutor[/url] in Lumbridge Castle Courtyard and let all of Gielinor see your glory!
[b]Reward point changes[/b]
We’ve heard your concerns about the reward costs feeling a bit steep, so we’ve had a word with the Leagues Tutor about adjusting their prices.
[list] [*]Echo Ahrim's Ornament Kit: 8,000 → 6,000[/*] [*]Echo Virtus Ornament Kit: 10,000 → 8,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Death Scroll: 3,000 → 2,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Nexus Scroll: 5,000 → 4,000[/*][/list]
With these changes, we hope it’ll feel more rewarding to spend those points and snag the items you’ve been working so hard for. The other rewards will be priced the same as ever:
[list] [*]Raging Echoes Banner: 500[/*] [*]Echo Home Teleport Scroll: 1,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes NPC Contact Scroll: 5,000[/*] [*]Echo Venator Bow Ornament Kit: 10,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Relic Hunter Outfits: (T1)1,000, (T2) 5,000 and (T3) 20,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Spirit Tree Scroll: 6,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Rug: 500[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Curtains: 500[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Scrying Pool Scroll: 3,000[/*] [*]Raging Echoes Portal Scroll: 1,000[/*][/list]
We’ve broken down the cost of some items into individual components to give you greater flexibility. For example, a complete Portal Room was initially priced at 6,000 League Points but can now be purchased as a separate Scrying Pool and three Portals. This way, you can pick and choose what works best for you!

With only a week left to make your mark, now’s the perfect time to push for glory. Join in on the fun and aim for the top in the #[url=https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1309479543131869235]Leagues-leaderboard Discord channel[/url].
There will be no changes to Leagues V this week, but we’ve carefully noted down all your feedback for future Leagues. We know how much you’ve enjoyed diving into Raging Echoes, especially during the Christmas break, but that period is also a holiday for most of the J-Mods. With limited staff available to monitor or resolve issues, we typically refrain from making updates during this period. This break not only allows our team to step back and recharge, it also ensures the game remains stable.
Now that we're into the New Year, the team are looking forward to working on all the exciting stuff we have planned for 2025. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and the support you've shown this League, and we hope you enjoy making the most of the final week!

[h1]UI Changes[/h1]
[h2]Minimap Subsection in the Settings Menu[/h2]
We’ve given the Interface section of the Settings Menu a bit of a tidy-up! Previously, all Minimap-related settings were scattered throughout the Interface section. Now, we've added a dedicated Minimap subsection there, making it easier than ever for you to find and adjust your Minimap settings! Below, you can see how the new Minimap subsection looks on both the Official Client and mobile.

[h2]HiScores Panel Arrows Get a Dynamic Update[/h2]
In other UI news, we've also made a small tweak to the HiScores Panel arrows. Up until now, the arrows for different sections of the panel remained unchanged, regardless of whether a section was expanded or collapsed. You'll now find that these arrows dynamically update depending on the section state, making navigation clearer.

[h1]Trouble Brewing XP Adjustments and Bug Fixes[/h1]
Trouble Brewing is a minigame all about brewing big batches of booze, but since some changes we made [url=https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/minigame-tweaks-skilling-adjustments--more?oldschool=1]last May[/url], it seems some of you (especially Iron accounts) have been [i]fermenting[/i] a little too much XP! Honest Jimmy’s been keeping tabs, and he reckons you’ve had more than your fill, so we’re slightly scaling down XP rates for a few actions in the minigame to keep things balanced. Here's what’s on tap now:
[list] [*]Boiler Pressure now awards 25 Strength XP for increasing the pressure.[/*] [*]Lighting Logs grant 100 Firemaking XP when lit in the Boiler.[/*] [*]Collecting a Bitternut gives 50 Hunter XP, with an extra 200 Cooking XP when you deposit it into the Hopper.[/*] [*]Fletching Scrapey Bark now earns 50 Fletching XP, and depositing it into the Hopper rewards 100 Cooking XP.[/*] [*]Catching Sweetgrubs now gives 40 Hunter XP, with 100 Cooking XP for dropping them into the Hopper.[/*] [*]Adding your team’s water to the Hopper earns 100 Cooking XP.[/*][/list]
Oh, and we’ve also patched up a bug that meant only one of the three boilers on each side gave Firemaking XP when lit. Now, all boilers will reward your fiery efforts as intended.
Thanks for bearing with us as we balance things out - sometimes it takes a little while to spot these quirks, but we appreciate your patience and feedback. Now get back to brewing and make Jimmy proud!
[hr][/hr]
[h1]Other Changes[/h1]
We’ve also managed to squeeze in some additional changes:
[list] [*]Slayer Helmets now act as warm items at the Wintertodt, thanks to their Earmuff properties.[/*] [*]The Araxyte Slayer Helmet's Inventory icon has been realigned.[/*] [*]Players' armour no longer occasionally remains invisible after using the Makeover services.[/*][/list]
[hr][/hr]
[h1]PvP World Rota[/h1]
The PvP rota has moved to [b]Period B[/b]:
[list] [*]560 - (UK) - PvP World[/*] [*]319 - (US) - Bounty Hunter World[/*] [*]579 - (US) - High-Risk PvP World[/*] [*]561 - (UK) - Free-to-Play PvP World[/*] [*]580 - (US) - LMS Competitive[/*][/list]
World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been [b][u]de-activated[/u][/b] with this rota.
