The Demonic Pacts League presents unique decisions and challenges compared to other content and game modes in Old School RuneScape. Since players are restricted to just 5 of the 10 available regions in the game, sacrifices have to be made regarding training skills, acquiring gear, and making money. This guide aims to provide information about the league mechanics, different training methods, and money making guides based on the constraints within the league.
Getting started
The initial spawn location is in Yama’s Lair, a Leagues-specific version of Yama’s Domain. This area provides some early benefits such as Agility training from level 1 on the stepping stones and several useful items claimable from the Leagues Tutor. The area exits to Civitas illa Fortis, which provides several other opportunities for low-level training, such as pickpocketing citizens for Thieving, cutting trees for Woodcutting, killing buffalo and chickens at the nearby Ortus Farm for food and Cooking experience, and so on.
The full Varlamore region is unlocked for free. Karamja and three regions of your choice can be unlocked by completing tasks. Which regions to unlock is up to personal preference, but some may fit better with your relic and combat mastery/pact choices.
Misthalin is not accessible in this league.
Quests
Due to the area-restricted nature of the Demonic Pacts League, many quests requiring multiple areas to complete will be unlocked automatically, either at the start of the league or as you unlock new regions, to give access to a region’s key content. Other quests may be completable with some combinations of regions but not others, while some quests are impossible to complete.
Quest rewards receive the same experience multiplier as other experience gains. Auto-completed quests do not reward experience. However, if the player completes a quest before it is auto-unlocked, they will receive the rewards for that quest.
Automatically-completed quests
Some quests are automatically-completed for all players upon starting the league, while others depend on individual region unlocks.
