RS3 Catalyst League Relics Guide & Tiers

Written by Andrew Hammel

Catalyst League in RuneScape 3 introduces a full set of relics that change how you play from start to finish. Each relic unlocks at a specific tier, and only one relic can be chosen per tier, forcing tough but rewarding decisions. Picking the right relic path is the key to faster progression, easier skilling, and stronger combat in this limited-time mode.

This guide lists every Catalyst League relic, their effects, and how they stack up across all seven tiers.

RS3 Catalyst League Relics List

Tier 1 Relics (10 points)

Assassin’s Insight – Teleports to Slayer Masters, Slayer dungeons, and target lists.
Voidwalker – Covers all common jewelry teleports in one relic.

Tier 4 Relics (5,000 points)

Focus on production mastery, treasure hunting, or picking an older relic.

Production Master – Brooch of the Elder Gods gives portable station effects, infinite urns, and skilling boosts.
Rejuvenated – Pick any extra relic from Tiers 1–3 instead of a new Tier 4.

Tier 6 Relics (17,000 points)

Endgame perks with banking and Invention dominance.

Banker’s Note – Portable access to the bank, note/unnote items, and manage inventory on the go.
Perkfection – Infinite Invention mats, faster machines, free perks, and blueprint unlocks.

Tier 7 Relics (26,000 points)

The strongest tier, offering godlike buffs.

Ascension – Chance to max combat stats temporarily, grants Elder God Book with every god book effect.
Specialist – Free and boosted special attacks, swap specials from one amulet, and 50% more damage.
Everlasting Faith – Infinite prayer, Soul Split always on, protection buffs, and automatic revival every 5 minutes outside PvP.

Which Relics Are the Best in Each Tier?

Each tier has standout picks depending on whether you want faster skilling or stronger combat.

Tier 1 – Excavator is best overall, giving Mining and Archaeology speed plus auto-banking. Divine Woodcutter is strong for AFK gains, but Excavator has the edge for league progression.
Tier 2 – Farming Frenzy is the fastest way to bank points thanks to instant crop growth and auto-noted harvests. Golden Footed is solid, but Farming Frenzy snowballs harder.
Tier 3 – Voidwalker wins for utility, since it bundles almost every key teleport in one relic. Fairy’s Flight is handy for clue hunters.
Tier 4 – Production Master is the strongest pick by far, turning every production skill into instant gains with zero burn chance. Only clue chasers should pick Clue Connoisseur instead.
Tier 5 – Soulbourne dominates with Necromancy buffs and free unlocks, making it the most versatile late-game combat choice. Barbarism is also excellent for pure melee damage.
Tier 6 – Perkfection is unmatched. Infinite Invention mats and faster machines are too good to pass up, while Banker’s Note is convenience only.
Tier 7 – Everlasting Faith is the best relic in the entire league. Infinite prayer, Soul Split, and free revival trivialize almost every boss. Specialist is flashy, but Everlasting Faith is game-breaking.

Final Blurb

Catalyst League relics shape your entire RS3 experience. From auto-banking ores at Tier 1 to infinite prayer at Tier 7, each choice changes how you train, fight, and explore. Plan your relic path early, since only one can be picked per tier, and the right mix will decide whether you dominate the league or fall behind.
