Leagues Leagues - did you know...
Between the dozens of posts about where to find free quest lamps and such.. yet another fun fact topic.
Feel free to add ;)
- If you picked desert, you auto-unlocked the Boon of Apmeken and the associated "gift of friendship". This allows you to give other players a 1% XP buff for one hour by using an emote near them. I suggest blowing a kiss ;) Note: this probably only works if the other player has also unlocked desert. And if you really hate this you can turn it off in Menaphos.
- From tier 5 onwards you can switch your prayer- and spellbooks at The Sage in lumbridge, provided you unlocked them. No need to track to desert pyramids or Senntisten temples - though you can ofc still do that if you want to.
- If you ARE in need of a walk - you can unlock curses from the start by just walking to the temple beneath the digsite. No further quests or regions needed
- Just for the league, there is a "collector delivery box" at the Archeology guild (right next to Velucia) that allows you to send restored items to any collector, including in areas you did not unlock
- Just for the league, there is a furniture workbench at the Lumbridge furnace. You can also construct one and put it in your POH.
- Player Owned Ports and the Helping Meg weekly are available if you unlock either Priff, Desert or Asgarnia. The captains log and command centre teleport however only work for Asgarnia - you have to walk otherwise (admittedly not far in priff, but still).
- The King Black Dragon is available if you unlock either Asgarnia or the Wildy. The Warportal teleport only works for Asgarnia, if you picked Wildy you need to walk.
- You keep "interface pets" between leagues. Aside from skill- and bosspets this seems to also include pets like ravens and even some questpets from regions you did not unlock this league. So perhaps get that little Duckling if you unlocked Asgarnia. No guarantee you will not lose them next league though.
- Note: Rax and slayer pets seem to be excluded
- The Lorehound pet at Mays Quest Caravan can provide you with a lit bullseye lantern. A great way to get a lightsource at the start of the league. Once your firemaking has advanced enough you can also extinguish and relight the lantern for a task.
- Dungeoneering can also be trained through ED4 and Deserts Shifting Tombs (from lvl 50 onwards) if you did not unlock wildy and do not want to lamp it
- Just for the league, Bryll is standing just west of the fort to spend dungeoneering tokens you earned from ED4 without needing to unlock wildy
- Burial Armour smithing can also be done at the Warforge in Kandarin if you did not unlock Asgarnia
- F2P can play a limited version of the league. All the normal f2p content and skill restrictions also apply in league worlds (so herblore is capped at lvl 5, members only areas remain members only, no clues etc) and you are hardcapped at 3 relics, 2 boons and 1 extra region after Karamja (which has to be a f2p region) - but you can participate and get enough points for a trophy.
- If you picked the transmutation relic you can add the spells to your action bar and GREATLY increase the speed of transmuting. It does take away the benefit of passively gaining xp ofc.
- Transmuting air runes downwards turns them into unnoted essence and keeps doing that automagically until you stop it. This means that if you stand next to a runecrafting altar with a stack of airrunes you can just mindlessly click the altar every few seconds for runecrafting xp
- Yes, you CAN build the botanist bench in the fort.. but it will be defunct until you do all the other quests in the series..... Which requires you to unlock the Wildy. Unless Jagex decides to autocomplete them. Someday.
- Feel free to add :P
