RuneScape re-enforces a 300 furniture limit in player-owned houses
RuneScape's September Patch Week landed on 1 September 2026 and its longest section is Leagues housekeeping, but the line most players will feel is three words into the housing block of Jagex's own patch notes: the 300 furniture limit in a player-owned house has been re-enforced, with a warning on entry for anyone already over it.
What actually changed
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| Player-owned housing | 300 furniture cap re-enforced with an entry warning, expanded limit promised, undated |
| Player-owned housing | Miscellania table recipe from Royal Trouble, Ports table recipe in the Ports Reward Shop |
| Dungeoneering Remastered | Prayer and Summoning doors capped at 99, Follow the Leader completable after a party member leaves, bound blastboxes and surgeboxes no longer lost on floor completion |
| Leagues II Equilibrium | Eleven quests and area tasks auto-completed, five quests and six tasks, divine boons at half energy with the Divine Druid relic, poison-only kills now award experience and drops |
| Leagues, hotfixed | Rare drop boost now applies to Godsword shards, Clue Connoisseur gives 3 charges per outfit piece, Anachronia's base camp tutorial auto-completes on region unlock |
| General | Soul altar no longer demands a pure essence in the inventory, items sold to Tom's Trove buyable back, chicks added to four farms |
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, along with 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. Re-enforcing an existing 300 item limit is not a nerf on paper, and 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 saying those houses exist. A warning on entry with no way to raise the ceiling, and an expanded limit described only as coming soon, leaves those players stuck 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, and 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 players Maikeru and RSWillmissit, and highlights 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 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. Neither is a dated commitment, so neither joins the calendar until Jagex gives a day.
