Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM is here in full swing! Dive in with other adventurers to experience RuneScape in a whole new way.

Running until September 21st, this special game mode supercharges your journey with powerful Relics & Blessings, accelerated progression, and unique twists that encourage experimentation, theorycrafting, and discovering fresh ways to play. Whether you're chasing rapid skill gains, tackling challenging bosses, or racing to complete Tasks, every moment contributes towards your League journey!

Best of all, this Leagues includes free-to-play content, giving more players the chance to jump in and experience the excitement of Leagues firsthand. As you progress, you'll earn rewards that can be taken back to the main game, including exclusive cosmetics, pets, titles, and other prestigious unlocks that commemorate your accomplishments.

Whether you're a veteran looking for the next challenge or a returning player eager to rediscover RuneScape, EQUILIBRIUM is your chance to leave your mark before the season comes to a close.

The Blooming Gardens Collection is the second instalment of this month's Player-Owned House Marketplace drop, launching today. Inspired by vibrant gardens and tranquil outdoor spaces, this collection is perfect for players looking to bring a touch of natural beauty to their homes. You'll find the full range of Blooming Gardens overrides in the Featured section of the Marketplace.

This drop also introduces two brand-new buildable furnishings to the core Construction skill: the Garden Bench and the Large Trellis Archway. These are new base items that can be crafted at Construction levels 25 and 65 respectively and are available to all players through normal gameplay at no additional cost.

Once you've built either item and stored it in your Player-Owned House, you'll be able to customise it with the Marketplace overrides included in the Blooming Gardens Collection, giving you even more ways to create your perfect outdoor retreat.

Check out our recentMonthly Marketplace News to find out more about some of our upcoming marketplace plans!
