Patch 9.1 — Polish & Progression
A follow-up sweep after the big PokéDelv launch. This one is all about smoothing the rough edges — a long list of PokéDelv bug fixes, prayer rules tightened up per difficulty, snappier client zoom and lower memory use, a brand-new item search button on the droptable interface, and a reworked Battlepass EXP system that rewards you for taking on tougher content.
Battlepass — New EXP System NEW
The Battlepass no longer levels up the old way. Instead of every kill or action being worth the same flat chunk of progress, the pass now runs on a proper EXP system — and how much EXP you earn scales with how hard the content you're doing actually is.
The principle is simple: tougher content pays out more. A low-level starter mob nudges your pass forward a little; a high-tier boss or an Elite-difficulty clear pushes it forward a lot. You're rewarded for stepping up rather than for grinding the easiest thing you can find.
Every source of EXP is now weighted by difficulty and content tier. The harder the kill, the bigger the EXP reward — so the fastest way to climb the pass is to push into content that actually challenges you.
Your Battlepass EXP bar fills as you earn, and each level is reached by hitting the EXP threshold for that tier — same as any other levelling curve in the game.
How EXP Scales
The rough idea of how much different content awards (illustrative tiers):
Droptable Interface — Item Search NEW
Hunting for a specific drop just got a lot less painful. The droptable interface now has a search button — type the item name and it'll find which tables drop it.
- Added a button to search for items on the droptable interface. NEW
- Heads up: you must type the exact item name for the search to match.
- Scrollbars now reset to default after every search, so you're never left scrolled halfway down an old result. FIXED

Slayer Task Overlay NEW
A new on-screen overlay keeps your current slayer task front and centre. No more digging through menus to remember what you're killing or how many are left.
- Automatically displayed while you have an active slayer task or boss slayer task. NEW
- Can be toggled on/off via Settings → "Show Overlay". QoL

Content Adjustments
Prayer rules in the two highest PokéDelv difficulties have been tightened to keep them honest.
| Difficulty | Prayer Rules |
|---|---|
| Hard PokéDelv | Soul Split disabled — every other prayer can still be used. |
| Elite PokéDelv | Protection prayers only — no offensive or utility prayers. |
- Easy Slayer task is now limited to the first 7 teleports in the "Adept" teleport tab. ADJUSTED
- Some areas inside PokéDelv are now multi-combat areas. ADJUSTED
- Removed Groudon's Earthquake knockback effect to stop players bugging out of position. REMOVED
Client Tweaks
- Better client zoom handling — smoother, more predictable zoom behaviour. IMPROVED
- Optimized client memory usage — lower footprint and steadier performance over long sessions. IMPROVED
