To me personally big part of fun in leagues comes from being able to execute your own wacky strategy and pick stuff that compliments it. My strategy for every league has always been what I feel like I want to practice more or what I feel like doing a bunch. And it has worked great. Like you said 99.99% players should just focus on having fun. I'm glad Jagex changed the reward system too(with the trophies) to make it a bit less competitive because fretting over ranks shouldn't be the thing you fret about when you are picking regions for example. I believe they will carry over this policy from last leagues and make it so that no matter what region combination you end up with you can still reach the highest trophy(dragon). Great video as always! I don't really follow all that many RS creators anymore because a lot of them advertise for the weirdest things.. like gamba, online therapy, crypto, etc. Not being all moral andy here they're doing their hustle but it ain't for me. I'm still here because I like your editing style and I feel the effort you put into them! Wish you all the best and hope you have a fun leagues.
Looking forward to spoiler season starting next week! They said on the Leagues discord that "2 weeks before Leagues start" they would start revealing new stuff.
Same. The power of hunting rumors speeding through and getting ninja, dragon and lucky imps... not to mention the MASSIVE prayer xp, Perilous Moons, Colloseum. Varlamore is going to be MASSIVE
Same here. No plans beyond that yet, but it's new and seems fun. Perilous moons has gear for all three styles so it'll be a solid region for any build.
Scritic top tier content! really well put together and cohesive i was planning on varlamore for first region mostly because its fresh but you just cemented why is just a really fun first region probably my pick list will be Varlamore,Desert,Asgarnia in my mind this is a really since you can get any end game weapon from raid (TOA is super easy) and Asgarnia has GWD which will always be fun in leagues probably not super optimal but seems fun for me
My big advice is to do what is FUN, not what is meta. I've loved Leagues every single time, and I'm nearly always melee. Last year I saw how OP magic was, and so decided to be a meta-slave and "try" doing magic and the desert, stuff I usually avoid. It was still really fun, but despite having the best areas, combat style and build. I would have had more fun going my bread-and-butter Morytania and GWD melee. Can't wait to go Asgarnia/Morytania/Kourend melee this year
You also gotta plan to do group content early because it really drops off later. I did significantly better in leagues 2 because I just had a bunch of solo content to mindlessly grind-out when I had nothing going on lol
I think I did zeah asg desert last time or asg zeah desert. I severely regret not doing desert first. I had several friends who did desert first and they progressed way faster than I did
I think this leagues will completely change choices with bosses dropping other regions items. If I can get a TBow from ToB, I’ll be picking Kandarin, Desert and Mory!
In leagues 5 do you know if Vardorvis drops the vestige or is he gonna drop the ring? Fremenik seems pretty bad if you dont need that region to get the ultor ring.
The way I see it, you'll ALWAYS need Fremmy to get any of the upgraded rings - a huge selling point of taking Fremmy are DKs (which is also confirmed to be the echo boss of the region!), so them taking away from what is essential "additional" power provided to the player by combining Fremmy + a DT2 boss region seems counterintuitive. An even larger question here is whether or not we will even be able to craft the DT2 rings without having the Desert unlocked - you cannot take the vestige from a ring before talking to Peer the Seer after completion of DT2, and there is no mention that DT2 will be autocompleted, just that you no longer need Desert unlocked to fight the bosses. I suppose this provides some support for the idea that the DT2 bosses may just outright drop the rings, however I think it's more likely that they will just allow anybody who has Fremmy unlocked to remove the vestige from any of the DK rings to keep that power in the region choice.
@@Chaos1044 I agree with you, if DT2 rings are being dropped without having the Fremenik region then its considered obsolete imo. Although I really hope they drop the DT2 rings without requiring Fremenik because the game mode is already so limited and in order to get the ring you want should not require multiple regions to obtain, they are very niche. My case for requiring Fremenik in that case should mean that every boss drops every variant of the vestige. I.e If I want the the ultor ring but I dont have varlamore unlocked then I should be able to obtain it from other DT2 regional bosses. This is all just my humble lazy opinion😂
Yes indeed. I actually picked zeah as first region last league and the start was slow because you have to run all over the place and do the client of kourend quest first before you can start doing stuff.
I could really some advice, im a leagues only player now thinking of going Wilderness, Kourend, Desert potentially as a mage. Im pretty bad at the game so was thinking of safespotting lava dragons for a day one 43 prayer so i could do some super early rev caves for supplies and GP . I was also going to quickly grind out 52 agility in brimhaven and other rooftops to do wilderness agility course now that there is no entry fee and your lap counter doesn't reset. I know there isnt a 'wrong' route, but do you think this would limit me too much?
@@Thebignagro Thats why im trying to plan something different. I think its safe to assume they nerf it to the ground this league and also the without the minigame point multiplier in the beginning i don't think its going to be that good.
@@Stoff_Rocks_Packs Yeah i understand but it also has the most content i enjoy so i dont need to do all the tasks. I only need enough points and task to unlock the regions/relics.
Imagine if league could be played GIM style. Me and my friend dont have much time to play so 8 week league feels like 3 week league. And a different team members could benifit from each others reageon picks.
im ngl i'd kill for a perm leagues world just like how they have a deadman world. hope project zanaris can get me my fix of just trying random ass builds.
Zeah is not a good first region pick. I picked it last league and I had some regrets. You may have looked at the difficulty and number of tasks but it looks like you didn't consider the duration. Client of Kourend wasnt autocompleted so you had to run across the map. Because it is your first region you have a limited acces to teleports (specially jewelry) so in order to do these tasks there is sooo much running. Desert was a way better first region. In terms of progressing to the second region and the time it takes, you are 100% better off taking Fremmy and then zeah and not how you said it.
Problem with this idea is that is all based around relics, you said Fremennik was one of the worst, but with fire sale construction, Gauntlets BF, c'bow shop and other useful shops its was very underrated. Unless they raise the task numbers its not a big deal with the early game area specific tasks, have tons of general ones to do anyway. With the right relic combos frem was probably one of the fastest regions in the game for LP.
You know what, you're totally right! Relics could change absolutely everything, and here's hoping they do - I'd love to see Leagues 5 be the year of the underdogs
Both Tirannw and Fremmenik had epic synergy with Fire Sale ( a couple 200 pts tasks in both regions being done in minutes if hours allowing you to reach the higher tier SUPER FAST. This league however if there is fire sale there is a stonemason in Varlamore basically getting you free 99 construction, it is unclear if building a throne of big dick (the 200 pts task in Fremmenik) will have an equivalent in Valarmore. Honestly both regions fell off hard but this is mostly due to Tirannw having had zero improvements since last league and fremmenik looking worse then the new varlamore in every way. Honestly most of us have maxxed or near maxxed account so we never really did use the mid game Varlamore content I feel like a lot of people will pick varlamore solely to experience the content for it. I am unclear personally last league I picked ZDA and Asgarnia due to loving Pest COntrol but this league I am thinking of going VZD or something. However I had big regrets from not cheesing fire sale if I do cheese fire sale I could include Tirannw or Frem plus only one raid.
P.s No one ever actually asked the question but I thought it was fun anyway...
I actually thought about the exact topic today. I guess you just read my mind bro...
Loving the videos, it would be so great if you could do something about the best Skilling regions for people who are not that into pvm
zeah first will be so much faster this year since theres no house favor reqs
Plus, a kingdom divided will be auto completed this league so you start the region with book of the dead. You can just tele everywhere now.
Yeeessss, no more queues for the damn plows. That was so hilariously terrible especially in Twisted, lol.
Zeah still hast terrible early/midgame unlocks and no real BiS training other than farming and fm.
@@kenshin1368exactly. I had it as my first region last leagues and I hated it. Nothing was auto completed so you had to run so much.
@@BeatleHD22 That's gonna be slightly addressed this time round with the extra Minecart stations though

Also picking Varlamore first. Very excited to rush/abuse hunters rumours
Same. The power of hunting rumors speeding through and getting ninja, dragon and lucky imps... not to mention the MASSIVE prayer xp, Perilous Moons, Colloseum. Varlamore is going to be MASSIVE
Love the leagues videos 👍 I'm thinking varalamore for my first.

Im not even playing leagues, i dont have a pc or internet access, yet i still love these videos. Keep up the hot work my guy
Lol you're only unlocking 3 regions? I'm going to unlock all of them....
🤯
Gl even though it's not possible 😂
I would really love it if a 4th region can be picked if you get to a crazy high number of tasks.
I think if we get another region or two they could speed up region 3 and make 4 take longer than current 3.
Yess! Its such a treat to watch your videos ♥
mate what is your background? where did you learn to edit? how can i be this good too?
the quality of your stuff always surprises me
Super excited for leagues! I think the theory crafting part before the release is almost more fun than actually playing the league lol 😅
Agreed. I've never even actually touched leagues once, but I have theory-crafted how I would have quite extensively.
5 mins into the video and you sold me on picking varlamore this league
Gonna go Wildy, Zeah & Desert for this leagues. Still haven’t decided on the order tho. I’m so excited for this years’. 🤩
Absolutely love your videos mate. Keep it up!
I think I did zeah asg desert last time or asg zeah desert. I severely regret not doing desert first. I had several friends who did desert first and they progressed way faster than I did
I'd say it depends entirely on what main combat rune you want...
I think this leagues will completely change choices with bosses dropping other regions items. If I can get a TBow from ToB, I’ll be picking Kandarin, Desert and Mory!

Im goin varlamore first, i really wanna see how crazy the sunfire hunters crossbow can get with relics.
Same, going melee personally but I have a feeling Varlamore is going to be a sick starting region
I was thinking of Zeah first, but only if there's a good teleport relic for it. I don't wanna be hauling ass all over a place that big
Yes indeed. I actually picked zeah as first region last league and the start was slow because you have to run all over the place and do the client of kourend quest first before you can start doing stuff.
You'll have access to Minecarts to get around the place more easily now (and it doesn't need Favour anymore)

Soul wars is your friend trust me ez exp and supplies early it was so broken last league they needed to nerf it lol 😆
Kourend tends to have the most tedious tasks. Stealing artefacts, Wintertodt, Tithe Farm, Farming Contracts, Aerial Fishing. Just keep that in mind.

All the varlamore early gamers can contribute to the red token hunt too
I will 100% be going asgarnia and mory. I did wilderness the last 2 locked and it's fun but pretty self contained
I just can't decide whether to go melee or ranged this time, I can't plan my regions until I figure that out
Varlamore looks tempting...
im ngl i'd kill for a perm leagues world just like how they have a deadman world. hope project zanaris can get me my fix of just trying random ass builds.
Can any youtuber plz make a video on what to do early when leagues is active such as Sorceress's garden or barbarian assault?
Im not making the mistake of losing melee xp by picking kandarin second. Im gonna do the funny ballista build for real this league
I love leagues content
As always - top content!
best videos mate, keep it up
I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR VARLAMORE PROPAGANDA YEAAAAA!!!!! DO NOT FORGET THAT IT ALSO GIVES YOU ONE OF THE BEST DIRECT TO BANK TPS IN THE GAME!!!!
Which tp?
@ the Quetz whistle right to hunters guild bank! Charges are super easy to get too!
I NEED MORE LEAGUES INFO!!! :p
This, if there were more info about the league I'd make a more informed choice
I hope they don't release the task or Relic list until Leagues goes live. I want to see Settled and the other Top OSRS youtubers/streamers Malding
Tbh Tiranwnn isn't a good region late game either, it's very underwhelming tbh.
Wildy best region by far
Zeah is not a good first region pick. I picked it last league and I had some regrets. You may have looked at the difficulty and number of tasks but it looks like you didn't consider the duration.

the issue with that is that fire sale is terrible and if you pick it you should feel terrible
All of that gear is mid-tier and would be a waste of a pick. Which is why people have been saying not to pick Frem or Tyr
You know what, you're totally right! Relics could change absolutely everything, and here's hoping they do - I'd love to see Leagues 5 be the year of the underdogs
