Leagues VI Is Almost Here

Mark your calendars: Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts launches on April 15, 2026 and runs for 8 weeks until June 10. This is the most anticipated OSRS event of the year, themed around Yama and his demonic contracts. Whether you are a Leagues veteran or a first-timer, this is going to be huge.

Here is everything confirmed so far.

Starting Area: Varlamore

For the first time in Leagues history, you will start in Varlamore, the newest region added to OSRS. This means your early game revolves around Varlamore content including the Fortis Colosseum, the Civitas illa Fortis, and Varlamore-specific quests and resources.

Karamja is locked at launch but becomes a forced unlock once you reach your first area unlock. After that, you choose three additional regions from the available options. Misthalin is completely inaccessible during this League.

Boosted Rates

Leagues always come with boosted progression, and Demonic Pacts does not disappoint:

5x XP rate from the start (improvable through relics)
2x drop rates for eligible items
4x minigame points
Farming ticks every minute instead of every 5 minutes
Run energy never depletes naturally
Clue scrolls drop as scroll boxes with progress saved between clues

These rates can be improved further through the relic (Pact) system as you progress.

Relics (Pacts)

Instead of traditional relics, Demonic Pacts introduces Pacts that you unlock by completing tasks. These Pacts fundamentally change how you play, offering abilities like:

Automatically banking items you acquire
Powerful teleport systems
Combat buffs and modifiers
Skilling enhancements

The full Pact list will be revealed closer to launch, but expect game-breaking abilities that make Leagues the most fun way to play OSRS.

Echo Bosses

Each unlocked area has an Echo Boss: an enhanced, harder version of a regular boss with new unique rewards. Killing the regular boss may drop an Echo Orb that lets you access the Echo variant.

Echo Bosses will be significantly harder than their normal counterparts but drop exclusive Leagues rewards that cannot be obtained elsewhere.

Buffed Raids

Raids get special treatment in Demonic Pacts:

Chambers of Xeric: Challenge Mode has buffed drop rates
Theatre of Blood: Hard Mode has buffed drop rates
Tombs of Amascut: 500+ invocations has buffed drop rates
Raid uniques are shared: If the raid drops a unique, ALL players in the raid receive it (ToA and ToB)

This means Leagues is the best time to try raids if you have never gotten a purple before. The shared unique system is incredible for group content.

How to Prepare

Free up your schedule: The first few days of Leagues are the most intense and fun. Plan around April 15.
Study Varlamore content: Since you start there, knowing quests, resources, and training spots in Varlamore gives you a head start.
Plan your region unlocks: Think about which 3 regions complement your playstyle (PvM, skilling, or quest-focused).
Watch content creators: Top players will share optimal strategies within the first 48 hours.
Join a Leagues clan or Discord: Community knowledge-sharing is key to fast progression.

Why Leagues Matters

Leagues rewards are tradeable on the main game, meaning you can sell League trophies and cosmetics for GP. Previous Leagues trophies have been worth hundreds of millions. Playing Leagues is not just fun, it can be profitable on your main account too.
