The Raging Echoes League is the upcoming fifth League in Old School Runescape. The League was announced during the Summer Summit 2024 and will begin on 27 November 2024, lasting 8 weeks, and ending on 22 January 2025.
The League carries forward the region-locking mechanic of Trailblazer League and Trailblazer Reloaded League with the additional option of Varlamore, and new content such as Echo Bosses.
Overview
The Raging Echoes League will be a temporary gamemode with a unique ruleset that fundamentally changes the gameplay experience. Players begin with most regions of the game locked, and will be able to unlock new ones by completing tasks and accumulating league points. At certain point thresholds, players will be able to select powerful relics that affect skilling, combat, or provide extra utility. Raging Echoes follows the format of the previous Trailblazer and Trailblazer Reloaded leagues, adding new features such as combat masteries and more difficult boss versions called echoes.
Changes from Trailblazer Reloaded League
- The region of Varlamore is unlockable
- Combat masteries, which offer bonuses to combat as a separate progression system from relics
- Echo variants of existing bosses
- All raids can now award the mega-rare item from any other raid
- Multiple unique drops can be obtained from a single raid from Tombs of Amascut and Theatre of Blood
- Teamwide purples only awarded in ToA with a raid level of 500+
- Teamwide purples only awarded in ToB: Hard Mode
- Additional new content added since the previous League includes:
- Armoured zombies
- Skilling and combat rebalances
- Tormented demons
- Araxxor
- Scurrius
- Zombie pirates and Wilderness Agility Course changes
- Varlamore including Amoxliatl, Hueycoatl, Mastering Mixology, Moons of Peril, Fortis Colosseum, and the Hunter Guild and rumours
- Vardorvis, Duke Sucellus and The Whisperer no longer require the Kharidian Desert to be unlocked. In addition, the Stranglewood and Vardorvis have been moved from Kourend and Kebos to Varlamore, accessable via a league navigator in northern Varlamore.
Rules
Player restrictions
As with all previous leagues, all players will be an Ironman with all the restrictions, including not being able to trade with other players.
Players will start with a 5x accelerated experience rate for skills, and begin with level 3 Herblore, and 5 Runecraft. The XP multiplier increases further at specific relic tiers. Players will also be able to claim a free dramen staff from The Sage in the Lumbridge Courtyard to access Zanaris.
Certain quests will be automatically completed at the start of the league such as Dragon Slayer I, Druidic Ritual, and Fairytale II - Cure a Queen to enable travel and access to skills. Other quests and diary tasks will be completed as players unlocked other regions if they unlock substantial content for the region.
Area restrictions

- Unlockable areas include the Wilderness, the Fremennik Isles, Asgarnia, Morytania, the Kharidian Desert, Kandarin, Tirannwn, Kourend and Kebos, and Varlamore.
- Players can travel to unlocked regions with waystones and can only set respawns in unlocked areas.

- Box traps will be added to general stores and will be usable without having Eagles Peak completed.
- Pestle and mortars and fishing bait have been added to the Lumbridge General Store.
- Elemental shield has been added to all slayer shops.
- Death's office, the player-owned house, random events and the rune essence mines will be accessible from all areas.
- Slayer tasks will be limited to creatures found in the areas a player has unlocked, and all Slayer Masters will assign the same tasks.
- Treasure Trail steps will be limited to the areas a player has unlocked.
- Mahogany Homes contracts will be limited to the areas a player has unlocked.
- When purchasing a house, it will be placed in Brimhaven rather than Rimmington, to allow training of Construction from level 1.
- The twisted bow, scythe of Vitur, and Tumeken's Shadow will be available from all three raids.
- The scythe of Vitur can be charged with only blood runes.
- All Soulreaper axe pieces will drop from every member of the Forgotten Four.
- The Hunters' crossbow can be purchased in the Charter Ship store by the Sunset Coast, allowing for the creation of the Hunters' sunlight crossbow within Varlamore.
Tasks
Completing league tasks is the main way to progress in the Raging Echoes League. Completing tasks earn players League Points and unlock relics and other rewards at specific thresholds. Tasks will span five different difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite, and Master. Some tasks will be area specific while others are more general and can be completed in any region. Every area will have roughly the same number of obtainable points from tasks.
Examples of area specific tasks:

Areas
As players progress and complete tasks, areas can be unlocked. All players begin their journey with access to Misthalin and Karamja. Three other areas can be unlocked after completing a specific number of tasks.
Default areas
Unlockable areas
Up to three other areas can be unlocked after completing League tasks.
Echo bosses and echo equipment
Echo bosses are a new system to Raging Echoes League that grant players the opportunity to fight challenging variants of existing bosses, targeting difficulty levels more suited to the power level that players attain during leagues. Each unlockable area contains an echo boss that drop echo equipment. An area's echo equipment is designed to supplement the area's shortfalls for attainable items and can rival other area's best-in-slot equipment.
- A strong Ranged weapon can be obtained from the echo variant of the Kalphite Queen
