Leagues IV - Post-Launch
23 November 2023

How do you do, fellow Trailblazers?

Game Update Changes

We're making some changes to our weekly game update process!

Going forward, we are going to be including a back up with each
week's update to ensure we have the most up-to-date save data from
each player to ensure we're ready for any circumstance once an
update launches.

You might already be aware that we've been testing this over the past
month to make sure we're happy with the process and making sure
updates are still in a good place.

Because of this, it does mean that downtime for updates will be slightly
extended to accommodate the backup and ensure that's processed
correctly. So going forward, the normal update will still occur on
Wednesdays and the process will look like the following:
10:45 GMT: 45-minute Shutdown Timer begins
11:30 GMT: Game goes offline
12:00 GMT: The Game is back online

Throughout the year, the day and times might differ slightly to
accommodate bigger updates or holidays, but we will always state this
across our socials and via our Game Status newspost beforehand.

Leagues IV: Trailblazer Reloaded

It’s been a whole week since our latest League launched, and you’ve
been ‘Scaping harder than ever before. We've hit record player
numbers, seen incredible World Firsts, and observed ongoing civil war
between Fire Sale and Banker's Note gangs. Most importantly, we’ve
been having an absolute blast.

Behind the scenes, the team has been hard at work deploying hotfix
after hotfix. Most of the more significant ones graced our Game Status
page over the days following release, while others were slightly lower in
priority. We're not going to list every fix we've made, but here are a few
you might like to know about:
The ‘Flex’ emote now unlocks automatically with the Desert region,
allowing players to complete the ‘Flex in front of The Guns’ Task.
Players are now correctly addressed by their chosen gender rather
than a particularly spacious comma in certain NPC dialogues.
Remember, you may change your gender using the Makeover
Mage’s services, which are now also available from Thessalia in
Varrock.

The ‘Pray at an altar in Molch while poisoned’ Task can now be

completed after selecting the Brawler’s Resolve Relic.
Unlocking the Fremennik area now auto-completes the ‘Complete
Rune Mysteries’ Task.
Fixed an issue where some Hot/Cold Clue steps were leading
players into the Desert even when this region was locked.
Soul Wars XP modifiers and caps now apply multipliers correctly.
Players can gain up to 1,000,000 XP per day, so enjoy those Zeal
gains!
Doors in the Barrows’ crypts no longer get ‘stuck’.
Krystilia now provides appropriate tasks for players’ combat level.
The Task for completing 10 Combat Achievements now completes
properly.
Removed the Task for completing Elemental Workshop I, as it was
auto-completed during the Leagues Tutorial.
Herbs planted within Chambers of Xeric are now properly
harvested by players with the Farmer’s Fortune Relic.
Players with the Trickster Relic can now progress through the
Barbarian Firemaking section of Otto’s Barbarian Training.
Players can now be assigned Hydra Slayer Tasks.
The following items now scale correctly with modified drop rates:
Gout Tuber
Revenant Weapon Upgrades
Voidwaker Pieces
Shade Scrolls
Zealot Outfit
Holy Elixir (from Corporeal Beast)

This week’s changes have mostly focussed on Clue Scrolls. If you’ve

read your Tier 1 Relic’s passive effects, you’ll know that you should
only be receiving Treasure Trail steps that you can complete in the
regions you’ve unlocked. Unfortunately, there are a significant number
of emote clues which don’t respect this rule – and Falo the Bard was
being outright rude to players who haven’t yet unlocked the Fremennik
area!

We’ve now made significant changes which should ensure that all the
clue steps you obtain can actually be completed. If there are any we’ve
missed, please let us know, and we’ll adjust them as soon as we’re
able. Unfortunately, these kinds of changes can’t be hotfixed, so you
may have to wait until next week’s update!

Next up, Bloodvelds are loose in Gielinor! We saw that the Bloodthirsty
Relic felt pretty underwhelming in some regions, so we’ve added low-
level superior Bloodvelds onto various Slayer Task Lists in regions
where they’re available – and unleashed a small herd of them in
Kourend, too! We’ve also adjusted the number of monsters players are
required to kill on low-level Slayer Tasks to make things a bit more
exciting.

Those are the biggest changes this week, but we also have some
smaller tweaks to show you:
We've fixed an issue with the Guardian and it should now attack
the following NPCs: Zuk, Kree'Arra, Vespula.
We've added a toggle to all the Trailblazer tool that will turn off the
auto-burn effect.
The Osmumten's Fang Special Attack should now hit it's max hit
correctly.
Using Slayer points to extend the revenant task should correctly
make your tasks longer.
The Magers and Rangers in the TzHaar-Ket-Rak Leagues
Challenge will now attack you correctly.
The HP at Hard Mode Phosani's Nightmare should now correctly
scale.
The Kill Count tasks for the Kalphite Queen have had their names
updated to 1, 50 and 150 times respectively to be corrrect.
Protecting the Tree Patch for the Elite Western Diary can now be
done with Farmer's Fortune. You'll still need to pay 25 Coconuts to
complete this.
Fixed a graphical issue with the new animations for Low & High
Alchemy.
Players using the Farmer’s Fortune Relic can now complete the
‘Cast Resurrect Crops’ Task.
Added Bloodvelds into the slayer list for players with Kourend
unlocked.

Kandarin.
Reduced the kill counts required to complete various low-level,
undesirable Slayer Tasks.

Stealer Relic.

was not completing correctly.

Some more great news from the first week of Leagues IV: there isn’t
anything else that needs changing! While we’re keeping our eye out for
potential improvements, for the most part it seems like you’re all having
a fantastic time unlocking new regions, ticking off tasks, and piling up
points.

As a reminder, please note that your League Point totals may not be
100% up-to-date in the main game Leagues Rewards Shop. This is
because your total updates periodically to prevent our systems
becoming overloaded. If you’re experiencing this issue, don’t panic –
just give it a little while to catch up.
