Relic Presets & February Mini Strike - This Week In RuneScape

Swapping around Relics, gathering Love letters and getting ready to show your combat mastery... busy week!

Archaeology Relic Presets
Easily swap between your setups!

Relics have become a staple of your day-to-day adventures since the launch of Archaeology and today we introduce a commonly requested Quality of Life update: Relic Presets!

You can now create up to four customized loadouts for your Relics and swap between them instantly while at the Monolith (or a Bank, with the Archaeology Cape). You will unlock your first two presets upon completion of the tutorial, then an additional loadout tab can be purchased from the Archaeology Guild Shop for 80,000 Chronotes, once you have the Professor qualification.

The last preset is acquired by completing the Guildmaster qualification.

Additionally, switching the active loadout only costs 80% of the Chronote cost of each Relic harnessed to that loadout, saving you 20% of the cost when you swap between your most commonly used sets! If a Relic is harnessed to both your active loadout and the one you wish to change to, the Chronote cost of this Relic is also deducted from the loadout activation cost.

Prepare for Combat Mastery Achievements
One week to go!

Combat Mastery Achievements are just around the corner, dropping next week on February 17th.

If you want to get started, here's an exhaustive list of the achievements that you can complete ahead of launch!

Love Letters and Heartment Store
Love 'em or Hate 'em!

Love is in the air! From February 13th until February 17th you will be able to find enigmatic romancers hanging around lodestones and searching for Love Letters.

Players will find Love Letters periodically while adventuring in Gielinor or from the Gifts from the Heart Treasure Hunter promotion. Once you have a letter you can hand it over to the Light or Dark Romancers for 1 of the following rewards :

• 20% XP Boost for 5 mins (up to 60 mins max)
• 25% Bonus XP Burn Boost for 5 mins (up to 60 mins max)
• 250 Heartments

Handing in letters will also give progress towards unique titles, "the Lover" from the Light Romancers and "the Hater" from the Dark Romancers. Each title has three colour variants, so keep handing in those letters!

Letters can also be torn up to earn a 5% XP boost for 5 minutes (up to 60 minutes max) for the player and anyone who in the vicinity. When the event has wrapped up you will no longer be able to hand over the letters - but you can still tear them up!
