I really feel like Jagex missed a trick when it came to some of the rng dependent pact tasks this league. I‘m tier 8 with a mostly online build, and I don’t feel like it’s worth it for me to grind out many of the pact tasks, including full oathplate, avernic treads, bellator ring, and dragon hunter lance. I think that Karamja was the perfect region this leagues in terms of pact unlocks because none of it was rng gated, with a couple high tier challenges to reward people for trying difficult content. Varlamore was a close second, but I absolutely can’t stand the treads grind. I would have much preferred some kind of outlandish skill based challenge like “Achieve delve 40”. Similarly, the full oathplate task should have been “beat 2 yama contracts”. A huge challenge in the main game for the average player, but reasonable in leagues. Basically, instead of using long item grinds for the high-end pact unlocks, Jagex should concoct “Super GM” challenges that are akin to the leagues-only jad challenge, where the player gets to use their crazy dps and sustain to beat challenges which would be impossible in the main game. Let’s not make people grind bosses for hours to get a drop they may not even care about for a temp game mode. Crank up the challenge and let the time sink come from that and not just mindlessly killing bosses hoping to get lucky. submitted by /u/Arstotskan
