Today we have a couple of projects from Game Jam V, including Mini Menu Improvements and Bank QoL!
PSA: Before we get started, please note that the Friends List and Friends Chat may be unavailable for a few minutes following today’s update. We expect this to be resolved very quickly, but content that relies on these systems (such as the Chambers of Xeric) will be impacted for a short while.

Game Jam Updates
Back in September we unveiled our talented J-Mods’ latest Game Jam projects! You can read all about them here. After an overwhelmingly positive poll, we're delighted to announce that Mini Menu Improvements and the Bank Deposit Refresh are now officially part of the game!
These changes are all about streamlining your gameplay and making life in Gielinor that little bit easier.
Mini Menu Improvements
Hold onto your capes, folks – it's time to say “Hello!” to the shiny new Mini Menu teleport options!
We’ve all been there – you’re having trouble in a boss fight, it’s time to gracefully bow out, but you’re too busy dealing with a giant teleport menu! Annoying, right? Well, not any more!
Now, you can simply hover over your minimenu to see all your teleport options in a neat little submenu. With a couple of clicks you can travel anywhere you please! If you prefer the classic feel, you can always select the old ‘rub’ or ‘teleport’ options to access the traditional menu.
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
We’re pretty sure you’ll love the new system, but we want to hear from YOU! Share your thoughts on the Old School RuneScape Discord, Reddit, or X – we’re watching and waiting to hear how it feels in action.
Bank QoL
Once you’ve teleported to the Bank, you’ll be glad to see that we have another update which makes restocking your gear a breeze!
In both the Bank screen and the Deposit Box menu, you can now lock individual slots.
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
Locking a slot means that when you hit the Deposit-All button, your locked items won’t be accidentally banked. Never again will you arrive at your Slayer Task to find that those all-important supplies are sat twiddling their thumbs next to your massive stacks of loot.
Remember, the menu locks the SLOT, not the ITEM. If you’ve rearranged your Inventory after locking your slots, you can right-click to ‘Unlock’ them again. They’re off by default and take the place of the usual ‘Examine’ option. Visit the new Deposit Lock Settings menu to toggle them on.
This is opened from the Bank's settings menu:
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
We’ve also revamped the Deposit Box layout to align with your inventory, making it easier and more intuitive to locate your items at a glance.
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
Additionally, if you’re tired of the deposit box asking how many items to deposit whenever you use items on it, you can now enable a setting to skip the item quantity check and always deposit everything in one go.
Lastly, we’ve moved the ‘Deposit Worn Items’ button further away to prevent misclicks.
We hope this delivers a smoother, hassle-free banking experience! Give it a try and share your thoughts - we’d love to hear from you!
Leagues V Concludes
Just like that, Leagues V has come to an epic close! From the moment those buffs started shaking up gameplay to the jaw-dropping leaderboard races, it’s been a journey to remember. The speedruns, the echo boss takedowns, the grand skilling streaks... Leagues V truly brought out the best in everyone.
But now, as we hang up our Leagues boots, let's take a moment to reflect on the fierce competition, the creativity, and of course, the community spirit that made this event such a legendary experience. Head over to Lumbridge Courtyard and check out the League Firsts Board!

Congratulations to all the legends below:
- First Kill of TzKal-Zuk: DV8[/*]
- First unlock of a Tier 8 Relic: SoloMission[/*]
- First unlock of a 5th area: Insanewolfy [/*]

- First to fully complete a combat mastery path: Chriskies [/*]

Leagues V Reward Feedback
We’ve been listening to your feedback on a few quirks with the Leagues reward kits, so let’s dive into some of the details and clear up any confusion!
Building Rugs and Curtains
So, you’ve been trying to place those fancy rugs and curtains from the Leagues kit, but something’s a bit... off? While other rewards (like the Nexus portal) let you just ‘Use’ the kit on your furniture, the rugs and curtains require a little more work.
So here’s the deal:
To place your new decor, you’ll need to right-click an empty hotspot, select ‘Build’, and pop into the Build menu. This system is consistent with how things worked for items of the same kind (think: Deadman Rug), but we're sorry if this threw you for a loop!

We’d love to hear whether this system works for you or if you’d prefer a different approach in future.
Reward kits Affecting Multiple vs. Single Items
Another head-scratcher has been how some rewards, like the Leagues V Spirit Tree Scroll, only affect one piece of furniture, while rewards in past Leagues let you slap the kit on everything of that type in your PoH.
So why the change?
Well, we wanted to give you more flexibility with your customization. When League VI rolls around we don’t want you to be stuck choosing just one style for your entire PoH. Imagine mixing and matching your Leagues V and League VI Portal Kits to create the perfect setup – now that’s what we call customisation!
We know it’s a shift, but we believe this will give you way more control over your PoH designs in the long run. As always, we appreciate your feedback and patience as we continue to refine and improve these systems. Keep those ideas coming – we’re listening!
And with that, another Leagues adventure wraps up... until next time!
