Also this week - a tutorial, a new teleport menu, a healing fountain and a smoother client

Hermes' tutorial tour#

New players are now offered a guided tour right after choosing their game mode. Hermes walks you through 16 stops - the bank, the Agora, the teleport menu, the slayer masters, the Codex, your class and more - with an objective panel at the top of the screen. Some stops just show you around; others ask you to do the thing. Finish it once for 25,000 Dracma and two Newbie boxes.

::tutorial resumes a paused tour; ::tutorial next, restart and skip do what they say.

The teleport menu, rebuilt#

The teleport menu is a new marble-and-gold Olympus panel with the monster you are heading to turning in the corner. Delves and Raids now have their own tabs, there is a Seasons tab (the Season of Hades lives there) and a new Slayer tab for the Slayer Warrens.

The Fountain of Hygieia#

A restoration fountain now stands at home, near the bank. It refills your health and prayer every time, and your special attack on a 30-minute cooldown - shorter with each donator rank, down to 5 minutes at Underlord.

Proteus, and a cheaper early forge#

Proteus is the first thing a new player forges: one weapon made from the three starter weapons, that changes shape from its right-click Style option - blade, bow or staff. The early and mid-game forge recipes cost less across the board. The Starters store now sells a weapon for each style and a ring instead of Dragon boots, and the Starter and Medium keys are gone.

Home island#

• The woodcutting grove is rebuilt: every tree up to Magic, laid out in level order in rows of five.
• Woodcutting xp is re-spaced so every tree pays more an hour than the one below it.

The Poke Delv, rebuilt#

• One element per chamber, and every Pokemon hit carries its element: 18 typed hitsplat icons, with resistances behind them. Pokemon pets fight by type too.
• Mewtwo is rebuilt as the finale, and armours up at half health.
• Hidden Poke Balls and powerups in the chambers, and new Victory Road props.
• The Zapdos and Pokemaster sets are in the forge under their own Poke Delv category.
• Any delv drop at 1 in 500 or rarer is announced to the server.

The client#

• A new loading screen with real progress, and a login screen that remembers four heroes.
• Game Scale: on 1440p and 4K screens the game zooms by a whole number (2x, 3x) so it stays crisp. It has a toggle in the extensions sidebar.
• Keep text sharp: the GPU renderer's smoothing now touches only the 3D world, never the interface text.
• Equipping gear and ::home no longer freeze the game for most of a second.
• Clicking a large object works from any side of it, not just its south-west corner.
