OSRS Leagues 5 - Guide on area picking - Theorycrafting deep dive (READ DESCRIPTION)

Updates:
Correction: Water Surge and Earth Surge do not have a lower max hit than Fire Surge does. Fire Surge is still the best here because Kourend gives us Ancestral/Augury.
Correction: The OSRS discord suggests Vardorvis will be in Varlamore.
Correction: The Whisperer, Duke Sucellus and Vardorvis can be killed without the completion of Desert Treasure 2 meaning Desert is not required. Leviathan is still locked behind access to Guardians of the Rift which requires Desert.

I re-recorded this video multiple times and cannot seem to get it within 20-30 minutes. So long-form content it is. :')

Leagues 5 is relatively far away, however, I made an attempt to get every bit of information sorted as of right now. I fully expect Jagex to not give us all the information we need up until very close to the release date, so I'd rather share what I have with you guys already.

This video is a deep dive into your options as a player in Leagues 5 - Raging Echoes. If you do not feel like watching the full 47 minutes, consider watching only the melee, ranged or magic sections of this video. I have introduced chapters for this reason.

There's still a bunch about Leagues 5 that we don't know. This video is focusing on what we do know but we are taking the unknown (echo loot specifically) into the equation. Because it is safe to assume that Jagex will probably give us the range/melee/magic relics as an option, we can theorycraft some routes with this information. I feel like the outcome of my theorycrafting was tangible enough to share with you already.
