The Trailblazer Reloaded League was the fourth league in Old School RuneScape. Development of the league began in August of 2023. The league was announced during the Summer Summit 2023 and was released on 15 November2023.[1] The league ended on 10 January2024.[2]
Trailblazer Reloaded was a temporary gamemode with a unique ruleset that fundamentally changed the gameplay experience. Players began with most regions of the game locked, but they were able to unlock new ones by completing tasks and accumulating points. At certain point thresholds, players were able to select powerful relics that affected skilling, combat, or provided extra utility. The league was based on the original Trailblazer League with many changes to the task list, relics, and the inclusion of new content from updates since 2020.
The entire region of Kourend and Kebos will be available for unlock. Additionally, favour gained increases with minigame point multipliers, including favour gained from quest rewards.

Static rank thresholds
New content released since the original league includes:
Players will begin their journey with only the regions of Misthalin and Karamja available. Further areas can be unlocked by completing a certain amount of tasks. A maximum of three new regions can be unlocked.
All players will be an Ironman and come with the same restrictions, including not being able to trade with other players. To accommodate the increased number of Iron players, shops will restock after every transaction.
Players will start with a 5x accelerated experience rate, and begin with level 3 Herblore, 5 Runecraft, and level 10 Agility to enable Herblore training, Runecraft training, and the use of the Draynor Village Rooftop Course. 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.
Tasks in the Trailblazer Reloaded League allow players to earn League Points and unlock relics and other rewards. 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.
As players progress through the league, further areas are unlocked. All players begin their journey with access to Misthalin and Karamja and may unlock a maximum of three other areas after completing 60, 140, and 300 tasks.
Relics are powerful buffs that are unlocked with League Points. Upon completing the tutorial, players are presented with three Relics to choose from without the need for points. There are eight tiers of relics in total, as well as an additional passive buff automatically unlocked at each tier.

Once players choose a Relic of a tier, they will be permanently unlocked, but cannot change their Relic selection for that tier.
There is a 25% chance that players will make an extra product, which will be sent to the bank if there is space. The additional product will also grant XP.
Must be unlocked in a bank as the player is given an item upon unlocking this relic.
Players are given the Sage's greaves, which are boots that grant 2/3rds of the player's Agility level as experience whilst running, roughly every 10 ticks.

Players are given a banker's note which allows players to use note-able items on it to turn them into banknotes or unnote them. Items must be used on the banker's note.
The "Activate" option allows players to note and un-note items in one action with a quantity of the player's choosing. An item must first be used on the banker's note in order for this to work.

The player is given a set of Trailblazer tools that act as undegradable variants of crystal tools with no requirements, plus some additional effects:
Trailblazer axe - Any logs chopped are burned, granting Firemaking experience regardless of level requirements. Performs 1 tick quicker than normal tools.
Trailblazer pickaxe - Any ore mined will be smelted into a metal bar (if applicable), granting Smithing experience regardless of level requirements. Performs 1 tick quicker than normal tools.
Trailblazer harpoon - Any fish caught are cooked, granting Cooking experience regardless of level requirements. If equipped, it will also work for fish that don't require a harpoon to be caught, e.g. trout. Performs 2 ticks quicker than normal tools.
NPCs that drop clue scrolls have a 1/15 chance of dropping one, including impling jars.
The rate of obtaining clue vessels are increased by 10x.
Clue scrolls have the lowest possible amount of steps.
Reward caskets will give the maximum amount of reward rolls.
Upon opening a reward casket, there is a chance that players will receive another reward casket of the same tier; this is more common the lower the tier.
Additionally, there is a chance for the bonus casket to be upgraded to a tier above the one players initially opened.
Each time the player gains experience, they will gain additional experience equal to 10% of the player's total level (20% for the player's lowest level skill).
Additional experience given by this relic is not multiplied by the Leagues XP multiplier.
If chosen with Production Prodigy, each item processed will trigger this effect.

Players are given the Ruinous Powers book, an item that allows players to alternate between the standard prayer book and the Ruinous Powers prayer book.
Special attacks always result in a successful hit against NPCs, and the minimum damage dealt is increased from 0 to 20% of the player's max hit.
The player's special attack energy is restored by 30% every 30 seconds. The lightbearer will increase this to 30% every 15 seconds.
If players do not have enough special attack energy to perform a special attack, they can instead choose to perform additional special attacks by sacrificing 25 Hitpoints.
Must be unlocked in a bank as the player is given an item upon unlocking this relic.
Players are given the guardian horn, which allows players to summon a guardian thrall that attacks for 30 minutes, with a damage roll of 6-15, an attack speed of 5, and an accuracy roll of 45,000.
The guardian thrall will attack with a style that the NPC has the lowest defence bonus for.
In multicombat areas, the guardian thrall will attempt to cast an area-of-effect attack if the primary target is weak to ranged or magic. This can be toggled via the guardian horn.
Arceuusthralls can be used alongside the guardian thrall.
Players cannot bring the guardian horn into locations where items are restricted. The Gauntlet is the only exception to this rule.
The guardian's outfit can be switched via the horn.
Upon death, the player's hitpoints and prayer points are fully restored, damaging all enemies in a 7x7 area around the player (thus up to three tiles away from the player), which deals up to 200% of the player's Prayer level (50% for other players).
The effect will only work in the same places that Retribution does.
There is a three-minute cooldown between uses. The cooldown is removed when the player actually dies.
The damage effect will not work on NPCs that are immune to recoil damage, except for Nex, the Hespori, Vorkath, and all Wilderness bosses.
Dying with the effect active will not count towards death penalties in raids. For example, raid points are not deducted in the Chambers of Xeric if the effect activates.
Items from certain sources are given a boosted drop rate in Trailblazer Reloaded League. The drop rate multiplier increases as more relics are unlocked: the items listed below become 2x as common when the starting first tier relic is chosen; then become 3x as common when unlocking a fourth tier relic; proceeding to 4x as common at sixth tier; and finally 5x as common at the final, eighth tier.
Some minigames have their reward points boosted in Trailblazer Reloaded League. The boost multiplier increases as more relics are unlocked, going from 3x once the tier 2 relic is chosen, to 5x at tier 5, and finally to 8x at tier 7. The following are affected by this buff:
In addition to the league-to-league rewards, players can unlock several rewards for use in the main game. Several rewards have been polled and all proposed rewards have passed.[4]
At the end of the League players can claim a cosmetic wieldable trophy representing the tier they placed in. These trophies will not cost any Trailblazer League Reward Points. Bronze to Mithril trophies are shield slot items, while Adamant to Dragon trophies are two-handed items. The trophies have a unique emote that can be activated by right-clicking the trophy. All trophies are untradeable and can be claimed for free.
Unlike past Leagues, the point thresholds are static rather than being based on a fixed percentage of players.

UI Changes
Mod Husky did some fantastic work on QOL for various Leagues interfaces, allowing you to resize the Tasks menu and browse while you're skilling!
It wouldn't be Leagues without some passive-tively overpowered bonuses! XP boosts and unlimited Run Energy are a given, but here are some passive effects we've taken further than ever before!
Unfortunately, Last Recall won't be returning as a relic during Trailblazer Reloaded. The Crystal of Memories will be making a return however, keep an eye out for a video over the coming days to learn about the specifics!
Your first Relic choice will stick with you for the entirety of Trailblazer Reloaded... Take a look at the detailed descriptions of all three and figure out what you're going to choose!
The maximum amount of Soul Wars points players can use at one time has been reduced to 1,000 to prevent glitches caused by players receiving too much XP at once.
Players who reach the point threshold for Combat Achievement tiers will now correctly unlock that tier, instead of needing at least one point over the threshold.
The non-Leagues Vengeance spell now uses the original sound instead of the Trailblazer version.
Equipping any combination of the gold or normal prospector outfit parts now correctly completes the ’Equip a Full Prospector Outfit’ task.
Increased the explosion radius of Undying Retribution's explosion radius by 1 tile. The description has been adjusted accordingly.
Players can now correctly complete kill count tasks for normal Chambers of Xeric in cases where they had obtained CM Chambers of Xeric kill count before finishing a normal raid.
Fixed a display error where some unlocked destinations on the fairy ring interfaces were crossed out despite being accessible.
On League worlds, dying to revenants no longer drops some inventory items to the ground instead of your gravestone.
The ‘Obtain a Boss Pet’ task can now be completed by obtaining pets from the Tombs of Amascut. This should be unlocked retroactively for anyone that has gotten the pet before via opening the interface.
Players using the crystal of memories to return to Nex will now appear inside the inner area near the bank.
Bloodthirsty superiors will now have the correct icon above them.
An issue where expanding tasks in the task interface changed the background colour has been fixed on mobile clients.

^Jagex. Mod Ash's Twitter account. 4 December 2023. Archived from the original on 5 December 2023. Mod Ash: "They spawn faster on those worlds, I believe (...). The comment reads "Boosted spawn rates in leagues, to discourage people sharing locations as much, or making it feel more required to do so to actually find any." And the choice of rare impling is slightly skewed towards the best ones."
