Earn Pact Points and spend them to unlock insane buffs to combat. - **Echo Bosses:** These powerful variants return, this time with items that benefit directly from the Demonic Pacts! - **New Starting Area:** We're beginning our journey this time around in Varlamore, which is a huge shake up from previous leagues as you'd start in the iconic Misthalin. Did we mention you won't be able to visit Misthalin at all this league? - Brand new Relics, QoL improvements and more! **Jagex Launcher Improvements - New RuneLite Installations** We’ve improved the way new RuneLite users can install the client via the Launcher: - No longer need to click on “Install” and head to the RuneLite website to install the client. Simply select RuneLite as your preferred client within the Launcher, click “Play”, and the Launcher will automatically install the client for you and then load it. - You might have to wait a few moments for the installer to finish, signalled by the “Play” button changing to a progress wheel. This only applies to those who do not currently have RuneLite installed. **Other Changes** - We previously announced that the Easter 2026 Event would be removed today, but the Easter Bunny hasn’t packed up the stalls and decorations just yet! You have an extra week to go egg hunting before the event wraps up next Wednesday. - Brutus icon now appears in HiScores interface on the Official Client. - Some grammar has been corrected in the canoe experts' axe-related dialogue. - The warning before climbing down the ladder from the Seers' Village rooftop course is now only shown if you're in the middle of the course at the time. **PvP Rota** The PvP rota has moved to **Period B**: - 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 World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been **de-activated** with this rota. World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been **de-activated** with this rota. The PvP Arena is using **'1 Def Pure'** loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week. --- ##### Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts Today's the day to roll up your sleeves and embrace the glory of Yama by committing yourself to his Demonic Pacts.
