RuneScape starts enforcing a 300 furniture limit in player houses again
On this page
RuneScape's September Patch Week landed on 1 September 2026. Its longest section is housekeeping for Leagues, a temporary game mode with fresh characters and its own rules. The line most players will feel sits in the housing block of Jagex's own patch notes: the 300 furniture limit in a player house is being enforced again, with a warning on entry for anyone already over it.
A player-owned house, to be plain about it, is a building each player customises and fills with useful rooms. It is a long-running side system in this game, and most of what goes in it is there for the look of the thing.
What actually changed
Six names in the table need a line each.
They are all the game's own words. Dungeoneering is the skill built around descending a randomised dungeon. Prayer and Summoning are two more skills, one powering protective blessings and one calling creatures to fight beside you. A Godsword is a family of powerful two-handed weapons named for the game's gods. Miscellania is an island players manage for a steady supply of resources. Anachronia, in the hotfix row, is one of the game's islands. Anachronia, in the hotfix row, is one of the game's islands. Anachronia, in the hotfix row, is one of the game's islands.

Our take: what it means for players
Take the good first, because there is a lot of it and it all points the same way.
Auto-completing a quest a Leagues player cannot reasonably do, rather than making them do it, is the correct call every time. Eleven auto-completes went in this week: five quests and six area tasks, plus one more in the hotfix block for Anachronia's base camp tutorial. Alongside those came a fix so enemies killed only with poison award experience and drops, and a Wiki button that now points at the Equilibrium page. That is a team watching a temporary game mode and clearing the potholes as players hit them, which is what a seasonal mode needs and rarely gets.
The housing cap is the other thing. Enforcing an existing 300 item limit again is not a nerf on paper. Our reading is that in practice it is one. The patch note adds a warning "on entry to any players above this", which is Jagex confirming those houses exist. A warning on entry, no way to raise the ceiling, and a bigger limit described only as coming soon, leaves those players holding a house the game now flags as a problem. Housing is exactly the kind of long-horizon, no-power, purely-for-love system that keeps people subscribed to old games. It deserves a date rather than a promise.
Credit where the source gives it. Jagex points at Mod Yuey streaming Dragon trophy tips on 3 September alongside Maikeru and RSWillmissit. Mod is the prefix a Jagex staff member's public name carries. The notes also highlight community work by Casillio, Artwle, Bucket Cultist, Wings of Absurdity, Lily and SaltyxRs. The Pink Skirts run their usual week of open events, including Vorago, one of the game's boss fights, on 6 September.
What's next
The Month Ahead for September was due mid-week, and the community API and plugin update from Mod Fable has moved to the week of the seventh. An API is the interface community tools use to work with the game. Neither is a dated commitment, so neither joins the calendar until Jagex gives a day.
Common questions
What is the RuneScape player-owned house furniture limit?
300 items. A player-owned house is a building each player customises and fills with useful rooms. September Patch Week started enforcing the existing cap again, and added a warning shown on entry to any house already over it. Jagex says a bigger limit is coming soon, with no date attached.
Which RuneScape Leagues quests are now auto-completed?
Leagues is a temporary game mode with fresh characters and its own rules. Five quests now finish themselves: Unwelcome Guests, Do No Evil with the desert region, Dishonour Among Thieves and Throne of Miscellania with the Fremennik region, and Tale of Muspah with the desert. Six area tasks now finish themselves too, several of them on their region unlock: Gnome Roaming, Fleeing the Scene, Oxymoron Incarnate, Assaulted Goodies, Arandar-Bout Way, and the Misthalin task Stick a Bork In Him.
What changed in RuneScape Dungeoneering this week?
Dungeoneering is the skill built around descending a randomised dungeon. Prayer and Summoning skill doors are capped at level 99. The Follow the Leader puzzle can be finished when a party member has left. Bound blastboxes and surgeboxes are no longer lost on completing a floor. Ensouled marmaros bars and above, and ensouled blightleaf cloth and above, became members-only items.
