Overview
- Treasure Hunter is now removed following a roughly 125,000‑player poll, with existing items usable throughout 2026 before being made obsolete.
- The Road to Restoration targets core modernization with a revamped UI, visual refreshes of Misthalin and Asgarnia, combat updates, API/plugin support, broad rebalancing, and overhauls to dailies, Auras, and the Grand Exchange.
- An immediate winter update is live featuring the new interface, the option to hide cosmetics, and early worldspace upgrades across hubs like Lumbridge, Draynor, and Varrock.
- Havenhythe launches in spring with new quests, two early‑game bosses, and a Hunter level cap increase to 110, with part two in winter introducing the Ghrazi Blood Knights end‑game boss.
- Player‑facing upgrades lead the mid‑year slate with an avatar refresh in April and a player‑owned housing overhaul in summer that raises Construction to 120 and adds an achievement‑driven recipe system, while Leagues II returns in autumn and RuneFest runs Oct. 3–4 at Birmingham’s NEC with capacity for 6,000.
