brother imma have like addy baxe's and shit
until i get like sulfer blades and boppers
its fine if they are bad its still more dmg
than not having it
idk about more dmg than echos not missing
not smart enough for the math on that one
🤣
yeah might rethink it more once echo weapon stats are out and i plan first region choice
yeah most my choices are subjject to change based on echo item stats and the last 4 relics
if amoxliatl echo weapon is not heavy weapon for some weird reason then early blindbag would be out of window for me
heavy just means >1kg
would be sad but boppers would still go crazy
im sure it will be
but you right thats not necessarially a guarantee
im not even thinking about the echo stuff for my earl (11 point) build
since that build is meant to help me GET to the echo bosses and actually fight them
if I have full bloodmoon and boppers in invy does the blindbag boppers trigger the 1t shorter atk delay
ya but the atk delay for my actual attack u see what im saying
yes
bc if it works 6 boppers build could be hilarious
early game at least
well
ideally you want 5 fdifferent weapons
for higher chance to proc and dmg later on
husky did mention that it checks the item id so orn kits and like charged/uncharged scythes count as diff
Yeah some of these tasks are gunna be just brutal, 3rd and 4th jad challenges, inferno clear.
so its possible to nox hally main weapon with 5 scythes in the bag
leaving those till later 🤣
3-4 jads u can do pretty early
Yeah mate, im not sweaty
assuming not locked behind inferno
but yeah definitely a good idea to look at the tasks and see what you can do early to get a foothold into the pact tree
forget if they have been in previous leagues
3 jads is pretty easy, just need to take time to complete fight caves before can do it
I dont even want to do fight caves on leagues
I hate that they keep putting so many points around fight caves and inferno.
Gotta do inferno for 3 jad challenge :p
oh right inferno needed for 3rd challenge
That special challenge is scary tho, it's gonna be a 39 point league for me xD
Im probably gunna land somewhere in the low 30s. Bummer
well. im sure by the time you get all the other pacts and t8 relic it wont be that bad
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-100-101-11-112-113-114-122-123-135-139-140-141-145-146-44-46-55-56-57-58-59-60-61-68-7-71-8-81-84-87-92-93-94-95-96-97-99 water mage + thorns cheese for special jad challenge 
true you could reset just for the challenge then reset back to your main build
lmao
assuming you dont plan to reset along the way otherwise
earth mage thorn build, we will make the jads oneshot themselves 
entangle spells are the only ones that use water and earth right?
they dont do much dmg tho
was just thinking if you could get the earth dmg plus defense boosting along with the water healing
humidify+ veng urself then spellbook swap to attack 🤔
The 60% water spell healing is where most of your tankiness will come from rather than just water rune regen
ahh its gotta be combat spells regening
well earth only reduces their defence which isnt really a problem to begin with
so i guesss you dont need earth
i was more looking at this comment
and thinking about it
Not super super active. Barely make it to t8
I just wanna throw rocks
Water thorns will definitely be tankier though if youre going for the afk strat
Because being able to give yourself unlimited overhealth should make you immune to getting randomly one tapped if you miss a few prayers
yeah ice barraging with the water tree will be a lot of healing
and yeah the recoil dmg will be big too
even without the ice spells
water surge will also be great
The % chance to reflect dmg based on your defence level is kinda disgusting and I assume it doesn’t just reflect 0 of you pray against something?
with water surge you could put point to prayer regen from air rune regen
yeah its not that good tho
cause its only 15% chance
per rune
but
i suppose with 7 air runes used
thats still on average 1 prayer per cast
with 2 tick
is not bad
better than nothign
just means you will never need to drink prayer potions with that + 2 prayer from getting hit 0
true i forgot you get that too
man id love a permanent leagues world of this leagues like they have perm deadman, with access to more pact tree resets, just to be able to try out more builds. 2 months feels like not enough time 🤣
Thats what i mean!!!!!!
I was planning on going kourend and mory and getting 25 of each raid done? No shot.
Radiant oathplate? No shot.
I get they dont want to make it easy but like
theres also some pretty nice builds you can get for 30 points btw, 40 points just allows you to go into more hybrid/tribrid options, most of the builds that focus on 1 style or 1 approach to combat can deal with 30 points just fine
Yeah im going cbow build early might just see how that goes.
Sunlight hunter cbow is gunna slap
you going for the reach around sunlight hunter xbow?
Thats the starting path plan yeah
the one where you skip the xbows attack slowerand move around it to get to the crossbow capstones
nice
Should be a good starting option to get me to mid game unlocks.
Should be able to kill echo ggs with it
Ive never done amox
So im assuming similar
Huey
im kinda annoyed echo gargs drop a staff 🤣 i want mory for nally and tob and rancour and stuff but i feel like i just wont really be using the gargelon staff much if at all. who knows though maybe its broken op
will find out soon i suppose
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-11-13-14-15-17-18-2-20-23-24-29-30-31-38-4-7-9 something like this right?
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
Punished for being employed 
ces't la vie
something like this for end game, alternating hits between the 7 range noxhally and 3t sunlight xbow for the bonus 25% dmg could be fun
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
ig since i chose the melee echo hits youd also take the bow and thrown star pacts too with that
am i right thinking theres a lveistream today?
Yes there is
dya knw the time?
3:00pm utc
tyvm
Where did they announce that? I don’t see it on the website
its on the wiki
The Demonic Pacts League is the upcoming sixth League in Old School RuneScape. The name was revealed with a teaser trailer at the New Game+ Showcase 2026 on 8 January 2026, with further details coming as part of the Winter Summit 2026.
The Demonic Pacts League is due to release on 15 April 2026 and will run for 8 weeks, through 10 June 2026. It ...
theyve been announcing echo items on twitter for over a week
no real details yet
i think we know most now
just the slot they occupy and some features
but tomorrow they will be giving us full details
has KDB cbow been confirmed 2h yet?
stats etc
oh nice
no that should be tomorrow
Do we know if Kandarin is still a meme this league or not
Kandarin seems to be popping no?
lots of people are plannign on taking it but thats mainly people after fasted dragon trophy or max points
It having a man hand magic weapon and me wanting to play mage has me nervous 
Oh sick
the reason kandarin mainly was such a meme before wasnt jsut the echo item but the fact it had a lot less points available but this league theyve said all regions will have (more or less) the same points
theyve supposedly buffed the devils element this time round and fixed the lack of points
kandarin is okay if other regions echo items are not overwhelmingly op. Before if you took kandarin you also had to take 2 other regions which had basically no elemental weaknesses to get your mage gear
people are specualting there will be a lot of easy points in kandarin since there isnt really much content
yeah this was a big part of it too
Exactly what I wanted to hear, nice
Oh tomorrow we get all numbers and stats of the echo weapons?
thats what they said a few days ago on twitter
Wonderful
faux said task list is likly
watch them replace today's reveal with the livestream 
i am still hella unsure on everything
first league ever no idea what to look for when picking regions
once we get full info on echo items, task list and rest of relics it will be easier to choose everything but i fear we might not get all that info until a couple days before it starts at this rate 😩 not a lot of time to plan
whats your goal?
just having fun?
today will be revealing 1 good relic probably since today is the !turtle relic reveal
i dont know
i wont be able to play activly for the first few days because i am on vacation
if so then pick regions based on the content you enjoy, try to pick 1 of zeah, desert, or mory for at least 1 raid (can get all 3 mega rares from each)
so probably just unlocks and dragon trophys
i am interested a lot in the Wilderness crossbow
dragon trophy shouldnt be a problem with any combination of regions, just remember to pick at least 1 region with a raid since theres a lot of points tied to mega rares and raid completions
as long as you arent trying to speedrun dragon your route doesnt really matter
dragon trophy should be around 70% of total points
chat am i cooking?
gonna go tirranwn, kandarin, desert and just spam shadow and ice barrage at everything with tank gear, echo boots, and suffering
Is having no prayer pen intentional
tbf idk if i need it with my regions
prayer pen might be needed for some echo bosses
and want to camp mage
but outside of that
echo bosses are usually skill based
shouldnt need pray pen
unless you intend to camp 1 style
you can do them without prayer pen but that means you need 2-3 different styles
hmm, now that im looking at it, demonic gorillas and toa has alot of prayer enemies
maybe i should try and squeeze a few points into prayer pen
Just might feel bad that you’re forced to afk anything with prayer
you dfont really need the fire and air options
nor the powered stave fire and earth regen options
nor the powered stave att spd enhancer
the prayer regen on air runes has big potential though
im not 100% on the shadow spell spam atm, since they havent shown the thermy echo staffs stats
not if hes camping ice barrage and smoke barrage
but yeah
with more info it could be useful
ice barrage doesnt use air runes and smoke barrage is only 4, so you have 4 15% chances to recover 1 prayer point every 3 ticks (assumign autocasting 2 if manual)
more like the base elemental spells from standard spellbook
so you have 4 15% chances to recover 1 prayer point every 3 ticks (assumign autocasting 2 if manual)
i think thats still worth 1 point
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-112-113-114-122-123-127-128-129-131-134-135-136-139-140-141-145-146-2-44-46-48-55-56-57-58-59-60-61-68-70-71-81-84-92-94-95-96-97 i would do somethign more like this for that playstyle, though if you plan on using tumekens shadow then the other one would be better
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
its barely anything tbh, but alongside the recover 2 prayer points when hit for a 0 it could upkeep prayer to a certain extent
again it kinda depends on what hes planning on doing
i just rtealised you only have 85% regenerate chance
pretty good but 100% would be better if you are planning on healing and increasing dmg with ice and smoke spells
Shadow, not smoke
I’m thinking Mory + Kand + Kourend for giga wind surge could be one of the highest dps setups
i feel like the 85% will be fine since thorns will heal me, and i can use emergency ice spells for big heals
i misspoke but shadow barrage is still only 4 air
so same thign
2t, 56% incr damage and 45-50% chance to max hit,
And another 30% or so magic dmg from gear
65-70 max hit equivalent, 2t, before any air weaknesses
How are you planning on 2t? Manual casting or harmonised staff?
idk about whats the highest but it really feels like any weapon type will be able to output a lot of dmg just in different ways
even pur tank build with bulwark seems like the dps could be pretty good
manual casting is 1 tick faster than autocast ye
5 tick with auto 4 with manual
so it would be 2 tick with manual casting
but
then you have to manual cast every 1.2 seconds
🤣
Also yeah add in a 50% air weaknesses and suddenly it’s like 136 max hit equivalent dps, at 2t
Yeah no thanks
Chance to max hit is doubled against anything weak to air too
if the echo thermy weapon has a good spec attack, i might pivot for the same build, but just focus on that with the spec restore and chance to not consume energy things
It’ll depend entirely if the spec counts as an elemental spell or not tbh
So you can stack pact bonuses on it
30% magic dmg gear, 56% from 8 prayers active, 100% from 50% air weaknesses doubled by offhand, so 24*2.86 = 68.64, and should get like 47 or so pray points so basically always max hit
feel like this doesnt really sacrifice too much (2 points left over) and gets you 115% regen, idk if theres a better way to get there or not though
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
I like that mage has this much variance tbh
It’s not just “big number is now bigger” like the ranged and melee trees
Isn’t that just on your first cast?
theres a few different buiolds with all styles tbh, and also most builds tend to want to half dip into a seperate style to get some sort of benefit too which is nice
checked the wiki and yes apparently it was but also apparently it was removed in a 2024 update lmao
"29 May 2024
(Update)
The one tick delay on autocast spells when entering combat with NPCs has been removed. "
so nvm ignore all that Sh*t i said
🤣
alright, unless the thermy staff is good, this might just be what i go with
oh yeah going the other side of the range tree gets you the extra overheal
forgot about that
thats defo better than what i linked
still dont think you need the 1 earth rune regen on powered staves
not for that build
its decent if you take the reduce tick rate on powered staves for 2 tick shadow or 1tick anythign else, but without that its kinda whatever
its only 1 earth rune, not the amount of earth runes used in 1 charge of the staff
its for the earth rune regen -> boost defence level, seems kinda good for the thorns build
its more so that this build doesnt seem to want to use powered staves
like it doesnt do anythign when using ancients spells
anyone know if the faster spell cast pact will work with transmutation?
it specifies combat spells
Thanks
shit you right, i misread the regen as powered staff or wands as in battlestaffs wands etc for some reason
powered means stuff with charges, like shadow, trident etc
which is why theres 2 pacts that reduce tick rate
cause ones for spellbook casting and ones for powered staves
(i know you know that just saying it incase anyones reading back and wondering what im talking about)
welp, if the thermy trident has a elemental weakness gimmick, this build is viable, if not, just chuck the earth regen for some more defence or something
the main problem im seeing now
is that you arent actually using earth runes in your spells
so the defense boost you wont actually get]
youd have to use earth surge or somethign
youll still get the flat dmg boost based on def level from shadow spells
but shadow spells arent regening any earth runes
so you wont get the defense stacks
"Regeneration only triggers for runes that were actually required by the spell. So no using combination runes to trigger regeneration effects from earth/fire for a water spell (air/water)"
from mod husky in the leagues discord
so you cant use like mud runes or anythign to trick the system
so that pact point is kinda wasted even in this build
what could be some cute nicknames for players who share region choices?
man this is getting tricky
full-overlap
i guess if i get the powered staff speed up i can just use a powered staff to charge up the defence bonus, and then just keep autocasting shadow spells?
and just switch over every few attacks to keep the bonus up
yeah youd have to upkeep 1 powered stave attack every 18s but its possible once youve fully charged it up
that might just be what i do tbh, with my regions i get thermy and shadow at the very least
not like 18s is a pain to upkeep
region-legion, region-peas, Pod-Squad 🤣 idk im bad at this
i am kinda glad that the defence stuff scales off level, not defence bonuses so i dont have to think about getting tank armor
yeah, but idk if thats really a deal braker
you arent going all in on thornsd anyway
still pretty strong
Tri-hards
atleast the reflect damage scales off defence level
just gotta have a shield on 24/7
i feel like you really want that last 30% overheal one
region legion is a certified banger
like somethign like this, but im sure you could tweak it to be a bit better
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
problem with what i jsut linked is you lose a lot of that accuracy
but you can get it back if you sacrifice that prayer pen at the top
idk
but the thing is
i guess you are more focused on earth than water
but with the extra overheal, your water spells will be much stronger
like youll go up to like 189 hp or something, instead of 159/160
which should give an extra like 6% dmg on water spells
idk if thats worth the acc loss tho
im mainly gonna use water spells for healing, not damage
also had to remove some defense levels which goes agains tthe spirit of the build
idk i g you jsut focus less on water
yeah idk maybe your one is better for the earth package
i do want the water spells bounce back just for the big heals
you definitely do NOT want to go through the air tree tho
you should switch that to the water tree
🤣
main goal is to not need food at all, can just chuck ice barrage for big heals
you do lose 20% acc like that tho
but you get to heal 6 hp with every ice barrage cast, though ig the dmg will already heal you a lot
idk maybe the air path is better
a lot to think about
also like, if you really dont need that 30 pray pen at the top you can go through the melee path to get to thorns and save 1 point to put elsewhere
but like we said already it might be necessary for thigns that pray mage
like gorrillas
yeah i think i do want the prayer pen after looking at my region choices
not necessary cause you can always just thorn them till they switch but that would take some time
Prayer pen is gonna be pretty strong depending on the content yeah.
i feel like the thorns heal + ice barrage will let me tank most if not all non special attacks from enemies
idk if the heal from thorns is worth
can prolly put that elsewhere
its only 10% chance to proc
but then again i will be attacking pretty fast tbh
i think youll have enough heal/overheal from ice barrage anyway
dont think itll do much
better to spend it on more defense levels or accuracy or somethign probably
Was there no daily update to the leagues blog post yesterday?
no, big dump on all deets about the echo bosses and items tomorrow, people speculating task list today but they havent saiud anyhting regarding it
didnt they reveal the whole demonic pacts thing yesterday?
Ah ok. I've been responsible for posting all the leagues info to my clan discord and yesterday we were all hungry for some news lmao
day before
Task list would be DOPE
i just want to know what the other choice is on t7 relics
same
im really tempted to go transmutation, natures accord, culling spree, and reload into soul harvest
"I saw some discussion around this bullet point for my soul harvest clarifications above :demonic_soul_harvest_T5R3:
Does not produce 10x soul shards with nature's accord
Essentially, there have been various interpretations as to what that means since Nature's Accord multiplies XP and yield but Soul Harvest only specifies that it cares about the farming XP you gain.
I just want to clarify that as it works in-game, picking Nature's Accord + Soul Harvest will give you the same amount of soul shards while farming as a player who just picked Soul Harvest. So Nature's Accord will not also instantly solve RC and Prayer. Soul Harvest already does that well enough on it's own assuming you're actually farming and you'll still get a lot of soul shards while doing PvM.
I'll need to workshop the description of Soul Harvest to make it clear that this is the case and will get the blog updated once I do.
Apologies for anyone who was expecting it to work that way, while I can understand the synergy it isn't something we're going to look into changing this close to launch but is something we can consider for feedback in future leagues.
"
from mod husky
btw
just incase you were thinking about gettign 50m rc in 1 snape grass patch
nah i kinda expected that to not work
🤣
i mainly just want soul harvest to solve rc and prayer
i feel like they would be a pain with no bankers note and with my region choices
transmutation kinda solves prayer. but yeah without bankers note rc still a hassle
transmutation seems way too good not to pick over the clue relic and butler tbf
if t7 is reloaded vs bankers note im taking bankers note every day
- it seems funny
clue relic is kinda necessary if you are going for max points
oh yeah if its bankers im picking it 100%
because of the collection log tasks
🙏 no bankers note this league
reloaded prolly the t8s kinda boring
depends on what the last t8 is tbh
well we havent seen the third one yet, tho can guesss its prolly a special attack one
hoping the last one is cool tho the flask has some potential
although that being said spec buiold kinda solved with pacts
so probably not specialist
im most likely gonna go with the flask
minion 💤
im not really a pvm god so a panic button is nice
im bad at the game so last stand helped me not die, but i have to have agency over flask
it doesnt auto trigger when i make a mistake
which is bad
for me
🤣
were league worlds continuous in previous years? e.g. W520-W530 is all league worlds, no interruptions?
no theres several "batches" of them through the world list, at least that's how it has been
I think
what reveals are we getting today and do we know when?
right, thats what i worried about. hmm
dont know but speculated to be task list
~2-3hrs from now and we dont know what we're getting
do you remember if there was a minimum clump-size ?
Don't remember well enough
how many is a brazilian
i thought they said we will get 3 relics a day two days ago
so i thought we'll be getting all the relics today
can't even psot my build because u can only type like 400 characters
pretty damn lame
you have steel rank, just post a pic
that was the one time, if they did 3 relics a day theyd only be able to do it for 2 days 🤣
lies
people won't comprehend build without explanatioon
a picture is worth a thousand words, legally speaking
Ooo u gonna use water spells to keep your hp up and let thorns recoil help
water spell tank build, fairly common build people are looking at, yours is a little different but the idea is more or less there
Ah a fellow tank mage enjoyer
it's not designed as a tank build tho
Can u adapt it to get the full thrones recoil? It's biiig
those are just extra points that make sense
I seen husky say you don't really want def boosts if you're hoping to thorn a mfer
Ewwwwe butlers bell
yeah but thorns can trigger on 0
you are tanking through healing
dont have to use tank gear to be a tank
as long as anything hits you, theu will get huirt
0s or not
but forreal those are just extra points
mage tank gang 🤝
I wont achieve 40 point build
This is the crux of tank mage builds afaik
ur wasting 1 point
TF you're racing to HP/prayer Regen? Lol
look, u dont need both of these points
unless u specifically just want those nodes
If you mean I'm wasting 23, keep in mind I'm probably not getting 36-40
no no i meant just the fact u dont need those 2 points if ur trying to connect them together
i just thought maybe u didn't see that because mine does that sometimes
where i puts points into things i didn't want because it thinks it's closer
What's the point in playing leagues if you don't try to get all 40 points?
Fun, I imagine
Ew, what?
already beaten the game twice over dont need to do it in leagues too loo

I'm gonna get dragon cup asap and go back to rs3 ngl xD
OMG rs3 player. Stone him.
:p
ew
I’d spec out of air rune regen bonus if you’re not taking earth = shadow
@smoky raft this is my starting route
they did some things for us innit
7 points to unlock 3 tick mage, 10 points to unlock endless healing
I spent a year maxed in os and needed some actual levels and it's less shit now :p
Plus no bull 'milk' xD
i made a hcim on there. ill play it when im desperate for content
why though? Earth spells will regenerate air runes too, and more prayer regen means more defense boosting prayer
steel skin + mystic vigour is the goal
Y’know what I actually forgot regular combat spells use air runes - carry on
infinite sources of runes will also generate runes - that was one i thought was weird lol
I wonder if you have no inv space, it will be like golden god once you hit max cash
Running around pooping piles of runes xD
Olm room gonna look like the gotr exploded by the end of a good scaled cm haha
You aren't generating that much cash
No no I mean when casting the combat style, and you've got a full inv are they going on the floor
Similar how piles of cash were everywhere cuz gg kept going
Not suggesting it's generating cash or anything, the extra 10/15 water runes you generate from casting water surge or w/e it is
If your invent is full, probably
It's crazy to think someone could hit max rune stack right? XD
That ain't happening
mainly issue with rune pouch or if you were using combination runes
That's a lot of surges hahaha
Full inventory with rune pouch solves that issue
Only holds so much though
Yeah but now the rune pooping strat is feasible
Damn I kinda wanna see if I can hit max air rune stack
if you have an infinite source like a water or fire staff then you wouldnt hold those runes in the pouch to begin with
you wouldnt be hitting max stack with the infinite source of runes anyway since youd only be replacing what you use without it
Well then you obviously remove any infinite sources first before going for snail
i misunderstood what you were saying, you were saying intentionally make them drop to the floor so you dont hit max stack?
right that makes more sense
is thier a reason i cant post a picture in here
i didnt see what you were replying to when i typed that
not high enough rank
ah
This is peak leagues theorycrafting tbh
got to #botzone and do !rank
you need rank 10
Avoid all accuracy boosts and spend 6 weeks splashing surge spells on a seagull xD
#content
This is what leagues was really designed for. Yama pffft. Surging on seagulls to see how many runes i can regen
question is does +100% accuracy multiply negative accuracy 
in theory you should still be able to always splash if your attack roll is not above 0
Hahaha that's fun maths if that works xD
can somone link stream please
yeah so 2x the damage bonus
kandarin and pay gp to buy nmz points
it does not
you cannot stack the slayer helm item with the slayer relic buff
so. Leagues, amirite
Is there still a live stream today?
Should be in 50 mins 👍
Ok thank you
Theres a live stream? Dammit why
when is it
An hour
I really just want to know the final 4 relics and the echo items
Let me know what this year khopesh is
it gives u 5 def levls?
What's wrong?
Look at the node to the right
accuracy, damage and regenerate chance all have that tilted hourglass icon
defense and prayer pen dont
aside from this one node
when it comes to the small nodes, that is
just a typo I guess
That's a lightning bolt man
are they only going to stream on twitch guys ?
sometimes on youtube
I hope that they also do on youtube since twitch is ass
Probably meant to be +15% accuracy
yeah its like that on the wiki page too
this is the image from the blog post on the osrs site
why is there no posting on the osrs leagues 6 news from yesterday?
its meant to be defence, just looks like the wrong image was used for the icon on the wiki and other sites
So it's the wrong icon
seemingly
https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/demonic-pacts---overview?oldschool=1 this other blog was the reveal
where is the live stream today supposed to be?
When people say certain relics are nuts, is there a nut-free relic variant for those of us with allergies?
minion
Yeah get the banana ones
Does blindbag roll accuracy or is it guarenteed?
oh okay, i didnt realize, thanks!
pretty sure it’s guaranteed
Making Radiant Oathplate will not require Aether runes in the league. So Zeah pickers can complete that task without worrying.
Ok thanks
There are plank relics yes.
Man, radiant oathplate is gonna be a pain in the ass
zeah got buff 
so anybody wanna help me find that damn stream
Still gotta do the contracts 
I wanted to go kourend but i have to go mory for nox hally.
Due in 30m on the official OSRS YouTube channel
when do we get info on the echo loot?
tysm
Go over to “live” and it’s scheduled there
Tomorrow I think was said
it’s during the stream i thought
Or is that a different stream
somewhat optimized earth thorns https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-100-101-11-122-127-128-129-135-136-139-140-141-145-146-44-48-57-58-60-61-62-63-64-69-70-71-8-81-82-84-85-86-87-93-94-95-96-97-99
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
apparently 55 bonus defense doesn't get you another flat increase compared to 50
and neither does 60
today is just a Q&A for general league questions and few content creators talking about league plans
🙁
60 should, it is divisible by 12
they might release 1 relic today though since reveals have the !turtle command for today
what is the total flat damage you can get form the thorns build?
if you're 99 defense the earth node boosts you to by 20% of your base (presumably to 118)
+50 takes you to 168 which is 12x14
going to +55 or +60 would not get you to the 180 defense necessary
for another hit increase
did you calculate the def bonus that you get from the earth rune regen perk inside of that calc?
Depends if it’s confirmed that the defense nodes buff your base defense or not
If not, the max we can get is 19
percentage stat boosts usually round down unless there's a flat component attached to it
the node that boosts defense doesn't mention that
https://www.osrsleaguescountdown.io/tree?share=1F1lEywVQAMCAASF4PCyAEAM
Range tank for ADZ
jmods confirmed that the + permanent def pacts count as base defence but still max buff from rune regen is +30 def instead of 19
this node for reference https://i.imgur.com/mXesV33.png
Hell yeah that’s huge
okay that changes things
does it synergize with super def boosts, or does it overtake the stonger bonus buff?
so 55 gives you a flat hit but 60 doesn't
Assuming 50 bonus defense your total flat damage increase will be capped at +30 which is kinda nuts
+3 when you are in a defensive style as well
that would not get you to 192
and +16 is still not +30
i don't know where that number comes from
so 192 is the next threshold got it
ah I misread something, ignore me
Should I pick Zeah or Kandarin as my first region
but even if you're going earth, devil's element sucks right
if you are going to pick kandarin anyway then it is best 1st region
like its only good against stuff with an earth weakness
which is like huey and then nothing else
zeah has better tasks and skill points from late game content
So Zeah for 3rd region?
If you’re going earth with thorns youre locked into a shield anyway
Might still be worth it for the mage weapon he’ll also be dropping now though, we’ll see when they release the stats
2nd or 3rd doesnt matter that much, just dont really want any of the raid regions as 1st selection since hard to get skill points from them early
that's a powered staff though, you're not using that
It’s not powered - powered staff comes from gargs
Zeah having to do 25 cox, do yama for radiant oathplate, get DHL, 150 shamans, and equip ancestral was such a turn off for me
Fork 
Compared to last leagues. We definitely don’t have as much protection with this. Since last time we had some general damage reduction from combat masteries. Not a huge amount of stuff here which seems to give defensive or damage reduction.
I wanted to go zeah but thats out for the pact tasks those are gunna take forever.
at least they removed 90 rc and aether rune grind from the radiant oathplate task, still need to actually do the radiant contracts and actually receive the contract drops though
Thats why im out. Some of these drops are ridiculous
Shit might actually make me pick mory or desert
Yeah being honest. Having rad oath as a requirement is a bit much. I could see it being getting a sigil piece but yeah.
Also why 150 shamans???
Some of the task tables are brutal
Just seems like a task for the sake of it
to make sure you dont cheese 1 kill 
Devs accidently put an extra 0
I brought this up last night. Seems like its not designed for the average person but more for content creators.
Husky said he wants people to push themselves and have some friction
Average person doesnt want to do 3 jad or 4th special jad challenge
Radiant oath for 200 pts aint it chief
any average person will be able to do triple jad with their eyes closed
the perks are op
Im just not interested at all in inferno or jad
Jads are ez
thats fair me neither haha
Yeah but i dont want to do it lol.
Thorns water tank mage - I fully intend to have the inferno and jad challenges clear themselves
Special challenge is probably gonna be harder than inferno
Yeah rad oath should be a 400 point thing. Why is a corrupted weapon 400 but not rad oath?
Like you guys wanna spend another half hour in fight caves AGAIN?
Cuz thats the only kandarin content. That and thermy
Literally only hard thing is getting 87 and then 93 slayer
Kandarin - kill kraken 50 times
Asgarnia - kill awakened whisperer, solo nex.
Kourend - Get radiant oathplate bitch
oooh obsidian knife is going to be my early game weapon i think, its such a cool dagger that never gets used anywhere
Also 25 CoX kc same no. of points as 1 Skotizo kill
Right?
Do echo ggs drop a powered staff
Im tempted to go desert because toa easier clear. Kq isnt horrid.
Thats i believe the drop.yes
I'm tempted to go mory for the 6 scythe combo
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
Even if it's unrealistic
So, with unique DH axes working individually, do we know if their blindbag proc will also roll damage off set effect?
Youre gunna not only get 6 scythes but also 4 ornament kits?
Yeah fr, just for the heck of it
Yeah if you dharok armour
should since they act as if you were holding the weapon
Pretty sure they will if you have the armor on originally.
Probably just gonna stick with dharok axes lol
Oh no, I gotta put in a nox or other big ass wep to substitute my missing 2 scythes in my 6 scythe build, guess they will have to compete with 4 scythes lol
Wicked
Also I think the dharok axes in your inv won't degrade
1hp dharok with no healing sources to gamble for 200 damage hits using fast weapon 
I can't wait to spend 5 days target farming dharoks for 8 armour sets and 3 axes
you got this, i believe in you
Any news yet?
Husky might have spoiled something
he said something about reloaded and overloaded
but that could be nothing
Pick an extra T8 relic
extra t8 would be crazy
Would slap
they have the relic screen pulled up right now
Livestream is up on YT and Twitch
At least to me, "pick one below" vs "pick one above" doesn't seem that interesting in terms of a choice, since it ultimately means "pick one below or above".
they are just going through the current relic tiers right now with the three streamers and getting their opinions on what they are picking
Also reloaded would be way more useful
Potentially, yeah. Since I think players want another relic to focus on skilling stuff than bossing stuff, I think.
Main point though was that, if it's like "Reloaded vs Preloaded/Overloaded", then... well, they might as well have pushed the T8 relics to T7, and then made T8 just be "Reloaded" only.
So I suspect the other T7 relic is not to do with picking another relic, but some other benefit.
+10 pact points
it has to be some kind of major solve, could also just be bankers note 🤷
anyone know if thorns/reflect hits grant xp?
Hopefully it's something better. Current T8s don't interest me and reloaded feels like lazy design
Banker's Note could be the T7. Would make sense, though, I get the feeling players like BN so much they would choose it more over Reloaded.
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-100-11-122-127-128-129-135-136-139-140-141-145-146-44-48-57-58-6-60-61-62-63-64-69-70-71-8-81-82-84-85-86-93-94-95-96-97-99 tinkered a bit more to get to +55 knowing it mattered
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
this looks optimal now
I would choose bank note as a pleb
i know theyre doing the live on youtube, but are we getting a relic reveal today?
65 plus abund
Lemme brute force inferno with a thousand sharks and ppots
you're only picking abundance if you're playing the league for less than an hour a day
+10 Pact points could be a relic, but feels a bit odd since it's quite powerful.
Other way around.
Youre picking abundance to rush dragon tier
can just reload the endless harvest
Thank you for someone saying that abundance falls off
We have been lockstep on this from the getgo
i wasn't planning on sticking with it tbh just seems fun at the start
endless harvest is so good since i have finals around the time leagues starts 😎
Hotfoot or woodsman i still dont know
I'm picking woodsman
woodsman is going to give a gazillion points
Im going hotfoot
Its passive xp and pairs perfectly with endless harvest
Fixes agility too. Nothing worse than running laps.
yeah it solves entire right side of your skills
Literally.
Those 2 together fix 10 skills passively.
Could be even more tbh bone shard mining for prayer too didnt think about that one.
But con, fletch, wc, fm, fish, cook, agil, mining, smith all solved with those two.
Crafting and thieve solved with larc. Rc and prayer solved with transmutate
Only 2 "unsolved" herb and farming but fuck em
Ill get seeds and herbs from slayer and be fine.
oh god now I dont know what I'm going to to t1 and t2
im taking zeah so i'll have tithe
Imagine if T7 is second inventory
never
def evil eye unless the unrevealed one is crazy
Yep
im picking map unless 3rd is crazy
thats a very strong point
that is true, tank builds don't need evil
oooo yeah underground shit
bank heist
meh
IT's bank
basically useless compared to others 
I called it
Why map over evil?
map or evil depends on your regions
people who are going tank/sustain build don't really need it because they will have infinite trips
Theres an argument to be made that eventually you won't really need to be that concerned about how much time it takes to get back to a boss
with bulky builds, high dps, healing and everything
Butttty early on. That could be a time saver
Especially for mory getting to barrows
you know what?
I think bank heist would let me replace endless harvester with barbarian gathering
True, but how many agi shortcuts are in good places that would be better than time save running to bosses
That's outside
better than running from canifis
remember that you also need the agility level for the shortcut since it puts you on the less favorable side
^beats mory 3 or fairy ring
Boss tele goes direct to chest right?
Yeah or outside
if you don't have arceeus tele you'll have to run a bit
That's why I'm thinking evil eye cos I'm planning endless harvest and woodsman so no agi solve really
barb gathering and bank heist have some synergy
yeah
i might drop endless harvest
cause of that
What synergy
im willing to abandon 30 minute afk
You gotta get back to the spot btw.
better than having to go back and forth
Any reveals today?
Endless you dont have to leave at all
bank heist
Bank heist t3 tele relic
All the teleports have a bank teleport
teleport to any bank or deposit box
yes, but barb gathering has the 50% success chance on a fail
which endless doesnt have
it adds up
exp wise
and ressource wise
endless better for low tier resources, if you do redwoods or amethyst then barb is a lot better xp/h
Hmm whats more useful bank tp or boss tp
Yeah surely endless still better, finish playing for the day, load up mobile and endless harvest in bed
Map tele is being slept on, would want to see all the option of both teles before choosing
They have a map out that shows locations for both.
Afk resources that are fast to gather with endless and transmute to process for big xp surely the play
Wont be choosing bank. Thats a bad one
Huey bank is there
Agreeeeeed. Transmute gunna be the balls.
wont you have to like
transmute all your stuff
maybe multiple time
tahts gonna add a lot of work
And map requires agi level to use so only good if you go hotfoot and barb
Endless, woodsman, evil eye best 3 picks, Change my mind
i was planning to go hotfoot but since im likely getting barb now, it should solve agility partially and i might drop hotfoot
Yeah it's gonna take a lot of time to transmute from lower tiers
Well, Agility level to use the shortcut you teleport to. You don't need the Agility level to teleport to the shortcut though.
you kinda "need" it
in the sense that
if you use the tp to go to somewhere thats past the shortcut
Yeah I guess, depending on what you want to do
since the tp puts you on the least favorable spot
Do we have any more info on the ‘per rune generated’ things? Like does it mean ‘per water rune generated’ for the water rune one?
^this
IE: tping to the agility shortcut of doom puts you in the central room
so u have to do the walk around
if u dont have the level
there's also the crevice shortcut for kalphite queen
86 agi and elite diary
those are the 2 examples i can think of
Yeah so not worth it imo over evil eye that just gets you straight there, even with a tank build
Yes, im sure its gunna take a while to turn regular bones into superior dragon. Or like iron ore into runite. But for some stuff thats not the worst thing. Also gives infinite nat runes
wouldnt it be more interesting to use soul harvest for prayer solve?
instead of transmute
transmute just seems like a lot of steps
just how much time does it really save?
Endless harvest, mine calcified bone shards and use that as prayer solve
10x crop yield and larcenist are too good to pass up
Transmute has a lot of possibilities
eeeeeeh
base 11k-13.2k prayer exp per hour
even with endless, its gonna be a bit sad
Only need it til you've got the prayers unlocked and bossing will give you resources to turn into more bone shards anyway
i can honestly pass larsenist since im not grabbing morytania and elf
Im grabbing both
i can learn blackjack for sure
i was planning to reload
and grab the farming relic and soul harvest
If u can blackjack u can plunder
If you're picking desert, you can just train RC at GotR
I reckon bankers note will be with reloaded and no way I'd skip over that
i forgot about that
So soul harvest just ends up being a prayer solve
Nah probs last recall
T5 time
If it is last recall I'm definitely reloaded
Doubt it honestly
still curious what the last tier 6 is
cause im already taking kourend and desert
so grioire is useless
and i dont like slayer
I'm more certain of my relic picks than I am for regions
Kourend mory and something else maybe
im locking down kourend, desert and asgarnia
I'm almost definitely going asg/kan/wil but idk the order yet
No raid?
no raid
I'm more sure of my pact build than my relics and regions
earth thorns my beloved
Ranged tank thorns build with cbow for me, rush sunlight cbow with woodsman day 1
there's no melee immune enemies in kourend/kebos, desert and asgarnia right?
kree
(also varlamore and karamja)
uhhhh akkha and wardens both pray melee sometimes
do you know if you gain xp from the thorns hits?
Kree is BRUTAL even in leagues with basic ranged.
olm has 66% damage reduction from melee on mage hand and head
ok its alright
echo hespori had the flowers pray melee sometimes
you can tell im not really versed in pvm so
can't say if the echo bosses will be the same though
the flower doesnt attack me so
its irrelevant
well yeah but you do need to attack the flowers
its about Thorn, since thorn count as a melee attack
bummed out that defender dont count as a shield for thorn
im not well versed on shields actually
the obsidian shield from karamja is probably going to be your easiest option
a DFS is good later on if you can stomach the grind
its in kourend
oh
brutal dragons and steels
ah i see
oh right
pieces item drop completed
so i just need to hit a draconic visage?
Yes
it might just drop as a dfs? idk where we get the anti shield
Anti shield is sold i think at slayer masters?
Its given
Antifire shield is from slayer masters
can get it, misthalin is there because you need to complete quests and antifire shield to make it.
slayer master makes sense
Dfs is in play. Youll have to kill dragons to get draconic
thank you for enlightening me about the dfs and obsidian shield
this helps me a ton
Obby shield youll get a few of at tzar training early slayer
toktz-ket-xil is effectively a rune defender with def instead of acc bonuses. It costs ~58k tokkul with any karamja gloves
orj ust as a drop, yeah
you still get use out of the defender for the prayer restore don't you?
They need to reveal the other T7 as well.
Thats the selection then
plus it sustains your overheal
which part is that?
Imagine they hit reloaded and they just start the discussion over from T1 again
go back to t7, they go back again
endless cycle
the stream never ends
Until everyone becomes bald
+2 prayer restore when using off hand from combat mastery
ad jumpscare bruh
"Whenever an attack deals 0 damage to you while either a two-handed shield or an off-hand is equipped, you're healed for 2 and restore 2 prayer points"
ah true
this would work how i think it would right?
but there's one pact that specifically need a shield
for more thorn
"While you have a shield equipped you gain the Thorns* effect"
well in fact
i entirelly need shields
for thorn
surprise fridge
ah true true
90% overheal is gonna double my hp pool right?
OOO
!
lol?
omg
HOLY!
?
Huh?
wait i missed everything wtf
Still picking slayer
"yo dawg, we heard you cant be bothered to learn 2 ticking, so heres a relic"
Oh wait it's T7
2nd t7 makes all skilling and processing actions into 2tick
that does challenge reloaded pretty well
Yeah still picking reloaded
reloaded no diff 😭
Flow state is too late
its a cool relic, but i do agree
basically stronger tick manipulation that works on everything (without needing to actually manipulate)
The aura of a single sentence
poor banker's briefcase going against evil eye 😭
It's good for transmute
still think ill take reloaded tbh
works on alching too
Should've been a T6 relic
superheat
Fuck
If you transmuting, flowstate gunna be the play boys
Yeah but reloaded is too good
You can fix anything you would reload with transmute
and people noticed
I'm reloading for larcenist
