RuneScape is breaking new ground this September with the launch of its first-ever League, titled CATALYST, arriving on September 15 for RuneScape members. This limited-time event promises accelerated progression, explosive XP rates, and a wealth of exclusive rewards that will reshape how adventurers journey across Gielinor.
What is RuneScape: CATALYST?
In CATALYST, players start fresh from Lumbridge Castle and embark on a thrilling race to power. The League introduces a unique task system with challenges ranging from slaying lowly goblins to battling entire hordes of tormented demons.
Completing these tasks earns League Points, which can be spent to unlock Relics—insanely powerful upgrades that fundamentally alter playstyles and progression.
Some of the standout Relics teased so far include:
- Farming Frenzy – Boosts efficiency for farming-based activities.
- Golden Footed – Increases mobility for faster adventuring.
- Fan-Favorites from Old School RuneScape Leagues – Returning relics to give players familiar yet powerful passives.
Compete for Glory on the HiScores
CATALYST isn’t just about personal progression—it’s also a global competition. By collecting League Points, players can climb the CATALYST League HiScores to cement their place in RuneScape history.
- All players will earn a decorated Leagues Trophy for participation.
- The most elite adventurers can claim the Dragon Trophy, one of the rarest and most prestigious rewards in League history.
- After the League ends, players can trade their hard-earned points for exclusive themed rewards usable in the main game.
