There is no right or wrong way to progress in the game, and you will rarely, if ever, be punished for experimenting. Melvor Idle is about the journey not the destination. This guide gives one method for how to start your Melvor Idle journey. The goal is to give players a helping hand in the early stages of the game. It is not a complete walkthrough, nor optimal for all play styles. | |||
= | =Why not to use this guide?= | ||
This | This guide is intended for Standard and {{Icon|Hardcore|nolink=true}} [[Game Mode|Game Modes]]: | ||
*If you are playing {{Icon|Adventure|nolink=true}} gamemode then please refer to the [[Adventure/Guide]]. | |||
*If you are playing {{AoD}} [[Ancient Relics]] gamemode then please refer to the [[Ancient Relics/Guide]]. | |||
=Before you start= | |||
In general: | |||
* You should expect some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time. | |||
* Melvor Idle has true offline progression, when the game is opened after being turned off, it will automatically calculate the difference in time and reward all progress made in the time spent offline up to 24 hours. | |||
** If you find the 24 hour timespan too limiting, it can be extended with the "Unlimited Offline" [[Mods|Mod]]. Longer periods of inactivity may lead to long load times. | |||
** Mods to any game always come with inherent risk, use your own discretion before downloading mods and keep regular backups. | |||
==Skills That Buff Other Skills== | |||
These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses that work on other skills unlock in a specific order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill pages for how they provide buffs for combat skills. | |||
A far more comprehensive list of what skills do can be found in the [[Beginners Guide]]. | |||
If you wish to see how Skills effect other Skills please expand the column below. | |||

|{{Skill|Summoning}}||Create Summoning familiars that provide a bonus to the corresponding skill, using a combination of materials that use ingredients from the skill and materials bought for {{GP}}.

|{{Skill|Agility}}||Build obstacles that provide bonuses to specific skills. The higher your skill level, the more obstacles you can build, at higher tiers. These obstacles can be expensive in both {{GP}} and items, but they also provide some of the strongest bonuses in the game.

== Raw Material Gathering Skills == | |||
These skills provide items that usually are necessary for training other skills. <br> {{Skill|Herblore}} and {{Skill|Agility}} aren't explicitly included because the materials for these skills come from everywhere. | |||

=Before Settling on Desired Gameplay= | |||
Before we get into the actual different ways to play. It is advised to get a feel for the game and how each skill works / interacts with other skills by leveling each skill to around Level 30-40. Once done, you should have a better understanding of how the game works. The core game mechanics won't really change much at higher levels, just a bit more complex interactions. The process of leveling each skill to around level 35 should take only a few hours. Switch to {{Skill|Astrology}} if in doubt about where to go next. | |||
# Open the {{Skill|Township}} menu and select a worship. {{MonsterIcon|Aeris}} grants the most useful benefits of the various gods. | |||
#* {{Skill|Township}} is trained passively and will be important later, however, completely ignore it for now. | |||
# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} until at least level 40. | |||
#* Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 [[Astrology#Modifiers|Stars]] (the Blue ones) in each [[Astrology#Constellations|Constellation]] ({{ConstellationIcon|Deedree}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Ameria}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Vale}}) if you have enough {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}. | |||
#* This will grant 5% Skill experience and {{Icon|Mastery}} experience in {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Farming}}, {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Fishing}}, {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}} as well as 15% Global [[Accuracy]] and 5% Experience in {{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Strength}} | |||
# Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Summoning}} at the same time. | |||
#* Summoning is a very important skill that benefits all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping and using Summoning Familiars (tablets). It levels slowly while training other skills, and cannot really be sped up, making it an important skill to train early. | |||
#* Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Ent}}. | |||
#* Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy {{ItemIcon|Summoning Shard (Green)}} to make {{ItemIcon|Ent}} tablets. | |||
#* Repeat (remember to change to {{ItemIcon|Oak Logs}} and {{ItemIcon|Willow Logs}} as they become available) until {{SkillReq|Summoning|15}}. | |||
# Next, train {{Skill|Fishing}} and {{Skill|Cooking}} (and more {{Skill|Summoning}}). | |||
#* The goal here it to gain enough {{GP}} to purchase the [[Shop]] upgrades for the first {{UpgradeIcon|Black Axe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Black Fishing Rod}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Black Pickaxe}}, {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Pig}} tablets, as well as some extra bank slots. | |||
#* Once you get to roughly {{SkillReq|Fishing|23}} you should get enough {{GP}} to upgrade the Fishing Rod to the {{UpgradeIcon|Black Fishing Rod}}. | |||
#* Train {{Skill|Fishing}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}. | |||
#* Sell all [[Junk]] and about half of the fish, then make and equip some {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} tablets. | |||
#* Continue training {{Skill|Fishing}} until {{SkillReq|Summoning|25}}. | |||
#* Train {{Skill|Cooking}} using the fish caught in {{Skill|Fishing}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Pig}}. | |||
#* Make sure to save 300 {{ItemIcon|Raw Herring}} and 300 {{ItemIcon|Raw Salmon}} for the next section. | |||
# Finally, train {{Skill|Agility}}. | |||
#* This skill has bonuses for {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Cooking}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, {{Skill|Herblore}}, {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}} at low levels. | |||
#* Switching {{Skill|Agility}} Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good source of income. Choose a single obstacle in each tier and leave them for now, optimizing Agility itself can come later. | |||
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|20}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pit Jump}} as your Tier 3 obstacle with the {{ItemIcon|Raw Salmon|notext=true}} {{ItemIcon|Raw Herring|notext=true}} fish you saved from the previous step. See the next section for more options in {{Skill|Agility}}. | |||
# Follow these basic outlines to level rest of the skills to Level 30. Some Artisan Skills may pose an issue as the raw materials may not be accessible yet, come back to these later. | |||
There are several ways to earn {{GP}} in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively. | |||
The first {{GP|2500000}} should go to {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Multi-Tree}}, and a pair of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} | |||

|Comment | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Thieving}}||54 / 57 / 77|| At appropriate levels Thieving provides very good income, but requires a bit of investment in the form of {{ItemIcon|Gloves of Silence}} or {{ItemIcon|Thieving Gloves}}, as well as time spent in Thieving to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}}, {{ItemIcon|Golbin Mask}}, {{ItemIcon|Thiever's Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Sneak-Ers}}. Enabling the "Continue Thieving on Stun" option if you have plenty of Food available | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Fishing}}||??|| Fishing is an easy and accessible method to grind out the first few millions. | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Mining}}||0|| Low Level Mining with {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} can provide passive income while mining, as well as providing raw gems for {{Skill|Crafting}} | |||
|- | |||
|{{AoD}} {{Skill|Mining}}||85||With {{AoD}}, Mining becomes a serious contender for early {{GP}}. {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} sells for {{GP|750}} each, which racks up quickly. {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion}} multiplies how much effective HP the rock has, and helps the player mine for much longer before waiting for the rock to respawn. | |||
|- | |||
|} | |||
With this minor preparation of our skills, we're now ready to start choosing a way to play the game, be it Skilling or [[Combat]] you should be set for both! | |||
=Ways To Play The Game= | |||
There are several ways to play the game, depending on your goals and preferred gameplay. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it. | |||
*[[#Laid back|Laid back]]: Only logging in once/twice per day or at least not actively playing, knowing what to set your offline times to and what to do when online. | |||
*[[#Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery|Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald/Atlas of Discovery]]: road to 100% completion. This will be combat focused, since it involves leveling as little non-combat as possible to rush {{PetIcon|Harold}}, after which skills and item collection will be done. | |||
==Laid Back== | |||
This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day. | |||
If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much. | |||
# We start off with a little preparing to do some minor [[Combat]]. | |||
#* This is where our [[Combat]] section starts. If time is of importance, it is suggested you progress through the Steps #2-5 until you want to take a break from the game. Continue on with step #6 until you feel like revisiting these Steps at a later time. | |||
# Level {{Skill|Mining}} to Level 50. This gives us access to {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}. | |||
#* Save all the [[Ore]] you mine for the next step. | |||
# Level {{Skill|Smithing}} to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide [[Smithing/Training|here]]. | |||
#* At {{SkillReq|Smithing|57}} Smith 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, 1x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Gloves}} and a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Sword}} | |||
#** Turn 1 set of these items in for [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #1]], this rewards a {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Shield}}, saving you some time needing to gather the {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}. | |||
#** Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}} to (G) by pressing Upgrade in the bank (orange button on the right). The first step requires a certain amount of {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and the second upgrade will require {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}} after both those upgrades are done the items gain the [[Damage Reduction]] stat too. [[Gloves]] have no upgrades but do provide [[Evasion Rating]]. | |||
#*** This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=525}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=750}}. | |||
# Sell all the Crafted {{Skill|Smithing}} Items and sell all the rest of your [[Ore|Ores]]. | |||
#* This should get you closer to {{GP|1000000}}. | |||
#** Either go {{Skill|Fishing}} or mine {{ItemIcon|Crystal}} in {{Skill|Mining}} (Requires the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]]) until you reach {{GP|1000000}} | |||
#** Once {{GP|1000000}} has been obtained, buy {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} from the [[Shop]]. | |||
#** If you still have some food from leveling {{Skill|Fishing}} to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat. | |||
#** If you're out of [[Food]] Fish up some {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} and cook those in {{Skill|Cooking}} so they can be eaten. | |||
#** To consume food, it must first be equipped through the [[Bank]] and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}} page. | |||
#** If you skipped the "Level everything to Level 30" step, Craft some [[Bronze Equipment]] and level all your [[Melee]] Combat Skills to Level 5, then craft some [[Steel Equipment]] and level your Combat Skills to Level 20. {{MonsterIcon|Chicken}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} or {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}} are your suggested Targets. They don't do too much Damage and have relatively little Health. | |||
#** The suggested target for now is the {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}. He drops Seeds which will be needed for {{Skill|Farming}}. With {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} and {{Skill|Hitpoints}} Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}} will {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} around {{ItemIcon|Shrimp|qty=420}} per hour. If you have higher healing food than {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} you will be using less than 420 per hour. | |||
# Plant a few of your found [[Seeds]] in {{Skill|Farming}} [[Farming#Farming_Plots|Farming Plots]]. | |||
#* Be sure to this once every so often to passively Level {{Skill|Farming}}. | |||
#** If you run out of [[Seeds]] that you can plant, you can always get more from the {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}. | |||
# {{Skill|Astrology}} is our next Skill. | |||
# The first large goal is to reach {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}}, this increases {{Icon|Mastery}} and {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} gains. | |||
#* Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other [[Constellations]] when they unlock. | |||
#* If they're close to Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}} it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}. | |||
#* Once you're {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}} buy the {{ItemIcon|Astrology Skillcape}} from the [[Shop]] and equip it. | |||
#* Keep training {{Skill|Astrology}} until all [[Constellations]] are at least Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}, this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars. | |||
#** There are a few [[Constellations]] where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} and Purchase all the stars, those are: {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}}, {{AoD}}{{ConstellationIcon|Nysa}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Arachi}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Ko}}. | |||
#* If the {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is owned, this skill can go to Level 120. | |||
#** In which case it's worth sticking to {{Skill|Astrology}}. | |||
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Haemir}}’s benefits aren't all that useful at this point, however it does give the most xp/h so it's only purpose is to level {{Skill|Astrology}} faster if you're not at Level 110 yet. | |||
#*** If you're already at {{SkillReq|Astrology|110}} you can completely ignore {{ConstellationIcon|Haemir}}, the rewards from this [[Constellations|Constellation]] will not provide any bonuses for now. | |||
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Rosaniya}} is a very good [[Constellations|Constellation]] and should be fully maxed to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} and Purchase all the stars. | |||
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Ashtar}} is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat. If you do combat in the times you are online, it is highly recommended you max out this [[Constellations|Constellation]] to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} too and Purchase all the stars. | |||
# The next step is to make some {{GP}} | |||
#* This is the start of the Money Making Method, for an alternative Method go [[#Alternative Money Maker with Atlas of Discovery|here]] | |||
#** It is still advised you start by following the {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Fishing}} and {{Skill|Cooking}} steps first. As the other Method will take time to set up. | |||
#* We start by {{Skill|Woodcutting}}. | |||
#* Keep {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you find the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} [[Mark]] | |||
#** Craft {{ItemIcon|Ent}} Tablets until you're out of wood. | |||
#*** You'll need to buy some [[Summoning Shards]] from the [[Shop]], which you should have enough {{GP}} for from selling all the stuff you got from leveling everything to Level 30. | |||
#*** You will need to craft at least 1 Tablet to be able obtain more [[Marks]] for the same Familiar. | |||
#*** Equipping the Tablet doubles your chances of getting [[Marks]]. | |||
#* After the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} tablets have been crafted, equip them. | |||
#* Then continue {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you find {{ItemIcon|Ent|Ent Mark Level 2}}. | |||
#* Don't Sell your {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} for now. Keep {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs|qty=630}} in the [[Bank]], they will be needed later. | |||
# {{Skill|Fishing}} is our next target. | |||
#* Start by buying the {{UpgradeIcon|Iron Fishing Rod}} from the [[Shop]] for {{GP|100}}. | |||
#* Buy further Fishing Rod upgrades when they unlock at Levels 10, 20, 35, 50, 60 and 80. | |||
#* Fish the highest experience Fish you can, there is a list of the experience/second to be referenced [[Fishing#Fish| here]]. Alternatively you can installed the "ETA" [[Mods|Mod]] which will tell you exactly how much Experience per Hour you'll get on each Fish. | |||
#* Just pick the highest one until you get to {{ItemIcon|Shark}} then keep fishing {{ItemIcon|Shark}} until {{SkillReq|Fishing|85}} | |||
#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest}} you get in the hopes of getting a {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}. Equip it as soon as you find one. | |||
#* When a {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}} is found, you should also Equip it as soon as possible. | |||
#** At {{SkillReq|Fishing|85}} it is best to switch to {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}} until {{SkillReq|Fishing|95}} | |||
#** At {{SkillReq|Fishing|95}} it is best to switch to {{ItemIcon|Whale}} | |||
#* Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} until you find a {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Mark | |||
#** Make a bunch of {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Tablets and Equip them in the other slot than where {{ItemIcon|Ent}} is equiped | |||
#*** 2 different Familiars together offer what is called a Synergy, when the Synergy is active the arrows in between the 2 Familiars will turn Green. This means the Synergy is active, it will use 1 Skill Related Tablet per action (in this Case Octopus) and when the Synergy is Active it will use an additional Related Tablet and 1 Synergy Companion Tablet, so in short, it will use 2 {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and 1 {{ItemIcon|Ent}} as soon as the Synergy is active. | |||
#**** Synergies require {{Skill|Summoning|Summoning Marks}} to be a certain Level, their current Level can be viewed in the {{Skill|Summoning}} Menu. In this Case with {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Ent}} it will require both [[Marks]] to be Level 2. As soon as you find enough {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Marks for another Level, the Synergy will activate. | |||
#** Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} until your {{Skill|Summoning}} reaches Level 25 and your {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} is Mark Level 3. | |||
# Start by {{Skill|Cooking}} the [[Fish]] you caught in {{Skill|Fishing}}. | |||
#** We're looking for {{ItemIcon|Pig}} [[Marks]] here | |||
#** Once you receive your first Mark, craft some {{ItemIcon|Pig}} Tablets and continue {{Skill|Cooking}}. | |||
#** Keep Cooking your Fish until your {{ItemIcon|Pig}} is Mark Level 3. | |||
#*** If you run out of [[Fish]] you can buy {{ItemIcon|Bag of Flour}} and turn those into {{ItemIcon|Bread}}. | |||
#*** For this the {{UpgradeIcon|Basic Furnace}} will be needed. If your {{ItemIcon|Pig}} is already at Mark Level 3, you can skip these steps for now and move on to point #6 . | |||
#**** Go to {{Skill|Firemaking}} and burn {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs|qty=130}} to reach Level 15. | |||
#**** Mine {{ItemIcon|Copper Ore|qty=500}} and {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore|qty=500}} in {{Skill|Mining}}. | |||
#**** Smelt {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar|qty=500}} in {{Skill|Smithing}} | |||
#**** Purchase the [[Shop]] Upgrade {{UpgradeIcon|Basic Furnace}} | |||
#The {{Synergy|Pig|Octopus}} will give a 75% chance to give you a Cooked version of the Fish you're fishing. | |||
#* Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} selling all the Raw and Cooked fish you obtain. Your goal is around {{GP|47000000}} to prepare for {{Skill|Agility}} | |||
#* You can also keep {{Skill|Fishing}} for more {{GP}} to buy some [[Bank#Bank_Slots|Bank Slots]]. How many slots is up to the Player, a minimum of 100-150 would be suggested. | |||
# This is also a good time to upgrade to {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier II}} for {{GP|5000000}} and then {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} for {{GP|20000000}}. This makes your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} more effective. | |||
# Visit {{Skill|Township}} and check out the [[Tasks]] some are quite easy to do and very worth your time. | |||
#* You can buy {{ItemIcon|Bar Box I}}, {{ItemIcon|Wood Box I}} and {{ItemIcon|Herb Box I}} after completing 40 [[Tasks]] and having Level 40 in the relevant skill. These boxes will help a lot while leveling {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Fletching}} and {{Skill|Herblore}}. | |||
#* Now that you have a way to make {{GP}} start investing in your Town. Build buildings that increase your resource generation. | |||
#** You can't completely mess up your Town, if you don't notice in time that one of your resources is running low and you're not producing very much of it, all that it is gonna do is cost you time. Production of resources never falls to 0 so you will be able to build some buildings eventually. It just might take time. | |||
#** Looking up a Guide for how to build your Town is not needed, almost all guides relating to that are from before the rework of {{Skill|Township}} and are no longer relevant. | |||
# If {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] is owned {{Skill|Agility}} is next. | |||
#* There is a whole list of items and Skill Requirements for this. This Guide will not go in detail where to obtain the items, you can click the items to view their sources and requirements. | |||
#* The 3 required skills and {{Skill|Fishing}} have Guides next to them with tips on how to Level them,. | |||
#* Keep in mind that things like {{ItemIcon|Agility Skillcape}} and the {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Pool Thresholds}} will lower the cost of items. These reductions are not calculated in these item requirements. | |||

#** {{SkillReq|Smithing|115}} - Has a minimal Guide [[Smithing/Training|here]]. | |||
#** {{SkillReq|Mining|120}} - Has a minimal Guide [[Mining/Training|here]] | |||
#** {{SkillReq|Fishing|120}} - Has a Guide [[Fishing/Training|here]] if needed. | |||
#** {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|120}} - Has a Guide [[Woodcutting/Training|here]]. | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Corundumite Ore|qty=12500}} | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Ore|qty=5000}} | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Oricha|qty=12500}} | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Terrorfish|qty=20000}} | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Divinite Ore|qty=20000}} | |||
#** {{ItemIcon|Carrion Logs|qty=20000}} | |||
#* At this point it is advised you level {{Skill|Crafting}} to Level 115 for access to {{ItemIcon|Stamina Pouch}}. | |||
#** You can get {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag}} from {{Skill|Thieving}} or if you have the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] the better choice is to dig up {{ItemIcon|Ancient Woven Bags}} from {{POIIcon|Bazaar}} (Medium) and turn those in to {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag}} in {{Skill|Crafting}}. | |||
#* To continue {{Skill|Agility}}. These aren't the most effective Obstacles but they are the easiest to build. | |||
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|100}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pit Maze}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}. | |||
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|105}} build {{AgilityIcon|Forest Jog}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}. | |||

#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|118}} build {{AgilityIcon|Water Dive}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}. | |||
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|120}} build {{AgilityIcon|Elite Pillar of Expertise}} | |||
# The final Skill covered in this Guide is {{Skill|Firemaking}}. | |||
#* Has a Guide [[Firemaking/Training|here]]. | |||
#* {{Skill|Firemaking}} has 2 main benefits that effect almost all other Skills. | |||
#** The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} grants 5% increased experience when worn. (8% for the {{ItemIcon|Superior Firemaking Skillcape}}). | |||
#** The second benefit is {{Icon|Mastery|Global Mastery Bonus}}. | |||
#*** The {{Icon|Mastery|95% Pool Mastery}} threshold grant 5% {{Icon|Mastery}} bonus. | |||
#*** Every [[Log]] brought to {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Level 99}} grant an additional 0.25% bonus {{Icon|Mastery}}. | |||
# This is where the Guide ends. Feel free to look up how to level other Skills by visiting their Guides. | |||
#* The order in which Skills get leveled does not matter a whole lot, as the remaining Skills don't have Global Bonusses. There is however a relationship between Gathering and Artisan Skills, this can be found [[#Raw Material Gathering Skills|here]]. | |||
# When you're active and online it is advised you do some Combat. Especially at the start Combat sessions don't last long and desired items are gotten rather quickly. | |||
#* You can also follow the [[#Combat_Focus_for_Max_efficiency_with_Throne_of_the_Herald_/_Age_of_Discover|Combat Focused Guide]] from this point, you'll have a leg up when you start that after following this Guide, just skip the steps you've already done. | |||
# Please don't forget to return to the Step you were on when you're going offline again. Offline Combat can kill you if you run out of [[Food]]. | |||
===Alternative Money Making with Atlas of Discovery=== | |||
This takes a while to set up due to having to grow [[Herbs]] to level {{Skill|Herblore}}. There is a guide to leveling {{Skill|Herblore}} [[Herblore/Training|here]]. <br> | |||
It is however much more {{GP}} per hour than {{Skill|Fishing}}. | |||
# Start by leveling {{Skill|Mining}} to Level 85. | |||
#* Make sure to buy all the [[Mining#Pickaxes|Pickaxe Upgrades]] from the [[Shop]]. | |||
#* Craft a {{ItemIcon|Mole}} Tablet as soon as you receive the [[Marks|Mark]]. | |||
# Level {{Skill|Herblore}} to Level 53. | |||
#* Craft {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion}}, preferably until you reach {{MasteryReq|Perfect Swing Potion IV|90}}. | |||
#** The higher Tier Potion, the better effect you're getting. | |||
# Buy {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} from the [[Shop]]. | |||
#* Keep an eye out for how many charges you have left on your gloves, they double all the {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} you get. | |||
# Mine {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} for profit and sell them all. | |||
#* This will net you approximately 4 to 39.5 Million {{GP}} per hour. | |||
#** Ways to increase the profit per hour can be found [[Money_Making/Mining_Pure_Crystal#Improves_GP_Rate|here]] | |||
==Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery== | |||
This Method aims at clearing {{ZoneIcon|Throne of the Herald}} as soon as possible for the {{PetIcon|Harold}} pet. This gives: | |||
* Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25% | |||
*2% Global Interval reduction | |||
* 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction | |||
*5% Global Mastery Gain | |||
*as well as many more useful things. | |||
Doing this first has many benefits to every skill. | |||
This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush {{PetIcon|Harold}} for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game. | |||
It is recommended you completely ignore {{Skill|Township}} buildings after setting {{MonsterIcon|Aeris}} as your [[Worship]]. | |||
*Keeping {{Skill|Township}} low will allow for cheaper rerolls of [[Township#Casual_Tasks|Casual Tasks]]. | |||
*We will be using these [[Township#Casual_Tasks|Casual Tasks]] for free {{SC}}[[Slayer Coins]]. | |||
*Tasks that provide {{SC}}[[Slayer Coins]] will reward {{SC|1000}} per {{Skill|Slayer}} Level. | |||
**{{Skill|Township}} Level has no influence on that. | |||
**Equipment that awards extra {{SC}} does effect the amount, so wearing [[Slayer Equipment]], {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} and the {{Skill|Cartography}} Point of Interest {{POIIcon|Dark Waters}} do effect the amount. | |||
*Once you feel you no longer need the [[Food]], [[Prayer Points]], [[Bolts]] or [[Arrows]] from them, and you have a decent Gold {{GP}} income, feel free to start leveling {{Skill|Township}}. | |||
Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
!Skill!!Level!!Reason | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Astrology}}||60|| Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles) <br>in the [[Constellations]] {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Vale}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Syllia}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Arachi}}. If there is not enough {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} obtained, try to balance out where you spend it and maximize the amount of [[Accuracy]] Gained. | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Runecrafting}}||85|| For {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient Runes}} & decently crafted [[Wizard Equipment]]. | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Mining}} & {{Skill|Smithing}}||40||At 40 {{Skill|Mining}} and 40 {{Skill|Smithing}} you can mine & craft {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}, which are required to upgrade [[Melee]] Armour to (G), so they actually get their [[Damage Reduction]]. | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Agility}}||70||To start with {{SkillReq|Agility|50}} will be enough. {{SkillReq|Agility|99}} should be the aim once {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} is beaten. | |||
|} | |||
Later Aims should be: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
!Skill!!Level!!Reason | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Herblore}} or {{Skill|Cartography}}||90||Both these Skills grant access to {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} which is very helpful, especially in the {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]. <br> When {{Skill|Herblore}} is chosen it will also need {{MasteryReq|Damage Reduction Potion IV|90}}. In {{Skill|Cartography}} 1000 can be obtained at {{Hex|31|19}} {{POIIcon|The Sand-Covered Treasure}}. These can be turned in for {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV|qty=5000}} with [[Township/Tasks#Hard|Township Task Hard 15]]. | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Archaeology}}||90||Only when also doing {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}}, since this allows access to {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} which has the very powerful {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}. This is quite a grind but well worth it; the weapon shreds through Throne of the Herald content | |||
|- | |||
|{{Skill|Archaeology}}|| 118||'''This is highly Optional''' Not required but very fun to play with, {{ItemIcon|Merman Pendant}} and {{ItemIcon|Pirate Hook}} are 2 very powerful items only obtainable from very high {{Skill|Archaeology}}. You can defeat the entire game without them, they will however make some parts of the game faster/more fun. | |||
|- | |||

====Starting Off Your Journey==== | |||
Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with {{Skill|Astrology}} at level 60, {{Skill|Agility}} at Level 50, {{Skill|Runecrafting}} at Level 85 and {{Skill|Mining}} & {{Skill|Smithing}} at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey. | |||
<!-- Original: It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30. I have assumed that 30 is a typo and replaced it with 5 - please revise --> | |||
#It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30. | |||
#* If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some {{MonsterIcon|Chicken}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} or {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}} to get to at least {{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Defence}} Level 5. | |||
#* Craft some [[Steel Equipment]] and upgrade it twice with {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} to it's (G) version so it gets the [[Damage Reduction]]. | |||
#**Equip the armour and continue your Combat. | |||
#**It is suggested to do [[Slayer Task|Slayer Tasks]]. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do. | |||
# When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to [[Mithril Equipment]]. Seeing as our {{Skill|Mining}} and {{Skill|Smithing}} isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}}. | |||
#*Collect: 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, 1x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and 2x{{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}}. | |||
#**Turn 1 set of these items in for [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #1]], this rewards a {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Shield}}, saving you some time needing to gather the {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}. | |||
#**Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}} to (G) the normal way so they get [[Damage Reduction]] too. | |||
#***This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=525}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=750}}. | |||
#Continue Farming {{Skill|Slayer}} while leveling your Combat Skills. | |||
#*Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for [[Rune Equipment]], completely skipping [[Adamant Equipment]]. | |||
#**We also can't craft [[Rune Equipment]] so we'll be getting it from {{MonsterIcon|Rune Knight}}. | |||
#**This will be the last [[Melee]] [[Armour]] Set needed before upgrading to [[God Equipment]]. | |||
#**A good Weapon alternative at this point is {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} or {{ItemIcon|Ice Dagger}} or {{ItemIcon|Ice Battleaxe}}. This can be obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Frozen Cove}}. | |||
#***A {{ItemIcon|Rune Claw}} would also be a very good weapon but requires some {{Icon|Barrier}} combat. | |||
#**Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Rune Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Rune Shield}} to (G). | |||
#*** This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=2000}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=3750}}. | |||
#You will also need to level your {{Skill|Magic}} and {{Skill|Ranged}}. | |||
#*{{Skill|Magic}} [[Wizard Equipment|Wizard Armour]] you can craft in {{Skill|Runecrafting}}. | |||
#**Simply craft the highest [[Wizard Equipment|Wizard Armour]] you can craft that matches the Element of the highest Spell you can Cast. This will increase the Minimum Damage of the Spell. | |||
#**A {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Powerful)}} can be crafted by upgrading {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Basic)|qty=100}} | |||
#***Or as a drop from {{MonsterIcon|Angel}} or {{MonsterIcon|Dark Wizard}}, which are both {{Skill|Magic}} enemies and can be rather rough unless your {{Skill|Ranged}} is already decently leveled. | |||
#*[[D-Hide Equipment]] is slightly harder to come by. For this, {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} needs to be cleared several times | |||
#**This drops [[D-Hide_Equipment#Green D-Hide|Green D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 40), [[D-Hide_Equipment#Blue D-Hide|Blue D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 50), [[D-Hide_Equipment#Red D-Hide|Red D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 60) and [[D-Hide_Equipment#Black D-Hide|Black D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 70). | |||
#**Clearing {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} 30 times rewards {{SC|10000}}, {{GP|25000}} and a {{ItemIcon|(U) Green D-hide Body}} through [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #3]] | |||
#**{{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} also drops in this dungeon. When worn this item loots all items directly into your bank instead of the Loot Box. | |||
#***It is recommended you keep {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting|qty=5}} for the {{UpgradeIcon|Loot Container Stacking}} later on. | |||
#***There is also a [[Township/Tasks|Township Task]] to turn one in, although this only provides {{GP|25000}} and is not worth it at this time. | |||
#** You can get a {{ItemIcon|Adamant Crossbow}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Crossbow}} or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Crossbow}} by thieving {{Icon|Marauder|type=thieving}} at {{SkillReq|Thieving|21}}. | |||
#**An easy way to get [[Bolts]] is by buying [[Slayer Resupplies]]. This will also provide you [[Prayer Points]] and some [[Food]]. | |||
#At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks until you reach {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|77}}. | |||
#*At {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|77}} you're set to start {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, you can find a guide [[Volcanic_Cave/Guide|here]]. | |||
# This is where this guide ends. You should have grasped the basics of Combat and Upgrading at this point. | |||
#*Further [[Guides]] can be found with each [[Dungeons|Dungeon]]. They all have a list of recommended/required [[Equipment]] and Skill Levels. | |||
#* The Dungeon Guides have been kept as low as possible on the Requirements and Gear needed. | |||
#*If you want to know what the next objectives are, look at the Next Dungeon guide. This should give you Items and Skill Levels to aim for. | |||
# After defeating {{ZoneIcon|Throne of the Herald}}. | |||
#* Fully max out {{Skill|Cartography}} if {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] is owned. Including Hex Mastery. | |||
#* Level {{Skill|Agility}} to Level 120. Guide to which obstacles to pick for minimum effort/other skills can be found [[#Laid_Back|here at step 15]]. | |||

There is no right or wrong way to progress in the game, and you will rarely, if ever, be punished for experimenting. Melvor Idle is about the journey not the destination. This guide gives one method for how to start your Melvor Idle journey. The goal is to give players a helping hand in the early stages of the game. It is not a complete walkthrough, nor optimal for all play styles.
Why not to use this guide?
This guide is intended for Standard and Hardcore Game Modes:
- If you are playing
Adventure gamemode then please refer to the Adventure/Guide.
- If you are playing
Ancient Relics gamemode then please refer to the Ancient Relics/Guide.
Before you start
In general:
- You should expect some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
- Melvor Idle has true offline progression, when the game is opened after being turned off, it will automatically calculate the difference in time and reward all progress made in the time spent offline up to 24 hours.
- If you find the 24 hour timespan too limiting, it can be extended with the "Unlimited Offline" Mod. Longer periods of inactivity may lead to long load times.
- Mods to any game always come with inherent risk, use your own discretion before downloading mods and keep regular backups.
Skills That Buff Other Skills
These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses that work on other skills unlock in a specific order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill pages for how they provide buffs for combat skills.
A far more comprehensive list of what skills do can be found in the Beginners Guide.
If you wish to see how Skills effect other Skills please expand the column below.
Skill | Description | Order of unlocks for other skills |
---|---|---|
This is the most straightforward Skill that buffs other skills. Study constellations to unlock "stars", then purchase permanent bonuses with ![]() |

Agility has bonuses for all skills in no particular order. |
Raw Material Gathering Skills
These skills provide items that usually are necessary for training other skills.
Herblore and
Agility aren't explicitly included because the materials for these skills come from everywhere.
If you wish to look at which Skills power which other Skills, please expand the table below.

Chop trees. Get logs. | * * * ![]() ![]() * | |
Hit rocks. Get ore. | * * * ![]() ![]() | |
Catch fish. | * * | |
Steal all kinds of things. Each thieving target gives different stuff from all over the game. Thieving targets also provide unique items that can provide unique bonuses for many different skills. | These items are used everywhere. | |

Before Settling on Desired Gameplay
Before we get into the actual different ways to play. It is advised to get a feel for the game and how each skill works / interacts with other skills by leveling each skill to around Level 30-40. Once done, you should have a better understanding of how the game works. The core game mechanics won't really change much at higher levels, just a bit more complex interactions. The process of leveling each skill to around level 35 should take only a few hours. Switch to Astrology if in doubt about where to go next.
- Open the
Township menu and select a worship.
Aeris grants the most useful benefits of the various gods.
Township is trained passively and will be important later, however, completely ignore it for now.
- Train
Astrology until at least level 40.
- Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 Stars (the Blue ones) in each Constellation (
Deedree,
Iridan,
Ameria,
Terra and
Vale) if you have enough
Stardust.
- This will grant 5% Skill experience and
Mastery experience in
Woodcutting,
Farming,
Smithing,
Fishing,
Firemaking,
Mining as well as 15% Global Accuracy and 5% Experience in
Attack and
Strength
- Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 Stars (the Blue ones) in each Constellation (
- Train
Woodcutting and
Summoning at the same time.
- Summoning is a very important skill that benefits all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping and using Summoning Familiars (tablets). It levels slowly while training other skills, and cannot really be sped up, making it an important skill to train early.
- Train
Woodcutting until you get your first mark of the
Ent.
- Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy
Summoning Shard (Green) to make
Ent tablets.
- Repeat (remember to change to
Oak Logs and
Willow Logs as they become available) until
Level 15.
- Next, train
Fishing and
Cooking (and more
Summoning).
- The goal here it to gain enough
to purchase the Shop upgrades for the first
Black Axe,
Black Fishing Rod,
Black Pickaxe,
Octopus and
Pig tablets, as well as some extra bank slots.
- Once you get to roughly
Level 23 you should get enough
to upgrade the Fishing Rod to the
Black Fishing Rod.
- Train
Fishing until you get your first mark of the
Octopus.
- Sell all Junk and about half of the fish, then make and equip some
Octopus tablets.
- Continue training
Fishing until
Level 25.
- Train
Cooking using the fish caught in
Fishing until you get your first mark of the
Pig.
- Make sure to save 300
Raw Herring and 300
Raw Salmon for the next section.
- The goal here it to gain enough
- Finally, train
Agility.
- This skill has bonuses for
Woodcutting,
Cooking,
Agility,
Herblore,
Firemaking,
Mining at low levels.
- Switching
Agility Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good source of income. Choose a single obstacle in each tier and leave them for now, optimizing Agility itself can come later.
- At
Level 20 build
Pit Jump as your Tier 3 obstacle with the
fish you saved from the previous step. See the next section for more options in
Agility.
- This skill has bonuses for
- Follow these basic outlines to level rest of the skills to Level 30. Some Artisan Skills may pose an issue as the raw materials may not be accessible yet, come back to these later.
There are several ways to earn in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively.
The first 2,500,000
should go to
Auto Eat,
Multi-Tree, and a pair of
Gem Gloves
Skill | Level | Method | Comment |
54 / 57 / 77 | At appropriate levels Thieving provides very good income, but requires a bit of investment in the form of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
?? | Fishing is an easy and accessible method to grind out the first few millions. | ||

With this minor preparation of our skills, we're now ready to start choosing a way to play the game, be it Skilling or Combat you should be set for both!
Ways To Play The Game
There are several ways to play the game, depending on your goals and preferred gameplay. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it.
- Laid back: Only logging in once/twice per day or at least not actively playing, knowing what to set your offline times to and what to do when online.
- Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald/Atlas of Discovery: road to 100% completion. This will be combat focused, since it involves leveling as little non-combat as possible to rush
Harold, after which skills and item collection will be done.
Laid Back
This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day. If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much.
- We start off with a little preparing to do some minor Combat.
- This is where our Combat section starts. If time is of importance, it is suggested you progress through the Steps #2-5 until you want to take a break from the game. Continue on with step #6 until you feel like revisiting these Steps at a later time.
- Level
Mining to Level 50. This gives us access to
Mithril Ore.
- Save all the Ore you mine for the next step.
- Level
Smithing to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide here.
- At
Level 57 Smith 2x
Mithril Helmet, 1x

(G) Mithril Shield, saving you some time needing to gather the
Silver Bar and
Gold Bar.
- Upgrade the
Mithril Helmet,
Mithril Platelegs and
Mithril Boots to (G) by pressing Upgrade in the bank (orange button on the right). The first step requires a certain amount of
Silver Bar and the second upgrade will require
Gold Bars after both those upgrades are done the items gain the Damage Reduction stat too. Gloves have no upgrades but do provide Evasion Rating.

Atlas of Discovery Expansion) until you reach 1,000,000
- Once 1,000,000
has been obtained, buy
Auto Eat from the Shop.
- If you still have some food from leveling
Fishing to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat.
- If you're out of Food Fish up some
Shrimp and cook those in
Cooking so they can be eaten.
- To consume food, it must first be equipped through the Bank and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the
Combat or
Thieving page.
- If you skipped the "Level everything to Level 30" step, Craft some Bronze Equipment and level all your Melee Combat Skills to Level 5, then craft some Steel Equipment and level your Combat Skills to Level 20.
Chicken,
Cow or
Golbin are your suggested Targets. They don't do too much Damage and have relatively little Health.
- The suggested target for now is the
Master Farmer. He drops Seeds which will be needed for
Farming. With
Auto Eat and
Hitpoints Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing
Master Farmer will
Auto Eat around 420
Shrimp per hour. If you have higher healing food than
Shrimp you will be using less than 420 per hour.

Level 99, this increases
Mastery and
Stardust gains.
- Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other Constellations when they unlock.
- If they're close to Level 80
Mastery it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80
Mastery.
- Once you're
Level 99 buy the
Astrology Skillcape from the Shop and equip it.
- Keep training
Astrology until all Constellations are at least Level 80
Mastery, this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars.
- If the
Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned, this skill can go to Level 120.
- In which case it's worth sticking to
Astrology.
Haemir’s benefits aren't all that useful at this point, however it does give the most xp/h so it's only purpose is to level
Astrology faster if you're not at Level 110 yet.
- If you're already at
Level 110 you can completely ignore
Haemir, the rewards from this Constellation will not provide any bonuses for now.
- If you're already at
Rosaniya is a very good Constellation and should be fully maxed to 99
Mastery and Purchase all the stars.
Ashtar is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat. If you do combat in the times you are online, it is highly recommended you max out this Constellation to 99
Mastery too and Purchase all the stars.

Octopus and 1
Ent as soon as the Synergy is active.

- You can't completely mess up your Town, if you don't notice in time that one of your resources is running low and you're not producing very much of it, all that it is gonna do is cost you time. Production of resources never falls to 0 so you will be able to build some buildings eventually. It just might take time.

- The order in which Skills get leveled does not matter a whole lot, as the remaining Skills don't have Global Bonusses. There is however a relationship between Gathering and Artisan Skills, this can be found here.
- When you're active and online it is advised you do some Combat. Especially at the start Combat sessions don't last long and desired items are gotten rather quickly.
- You can also follow the Combat Focused Guide from this point, you'll have a leg up when you start that after following this Guide, just skip the steps you've already done.
- Please don't forget to return to the Step you were on when you're going offline again. Offline Combat can kill you if you run out of Food.
Alternative Money Making with Atlas of Discovery
This takes a while to set up due to having to grow Herbs to level Herblore. There is a guide to leveling
Herblore here.
It is however much more per hour than
Fishing.
- Start by leveling
Mining to Level 85.
- Make sure to buy all the Pickaxe Upgrades from the Shop.
- Craft a
Mole Tablet as soon as you receive the Mark.
- Level
Herblore to Level 53.
- Craft
Perfect Swing Potion, preferably until you reach
Level 90.
- The higher Tier Potion, the better effect you're getting.
- Craft
- Buy
Mining Gloves from the Shop.
- Keep an eye out for how many charges you have left on your gloves, they double all the
Pure Crystal you get.
- Keep an eye out for how many charges you have left on your gloves, they double all the

Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery
This Method aims at clearing Throne of the Herald as soon as possible for the
Harold pet. This gives:
- Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25%
- 2% Global Interval reduction
- 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction
- 5% Global Mastery Gain
- as well as many more useful things.
Doing this first has many benefits to every skill.
This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush Harold for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game.
It is recommended you completely ignore Township buildings after setting
Aeris as your Worship.
- Keeping
Township low will allow for cheaper rerolls of Casual Tasks.
- We will be using these Casual Tasks for free
Slayer Coins.
- Tasks that provide
Slayer Coins will reward 1,000
per
Slayer Level.
Township Level has no influence on that.
- Equipment that awards extra
does effect the amount, so wearing Slayer Equipment,
Hunter's Ring and the
Cartography Point of Interest
Dark Waters do effect the amount.
- Once you feel you no longer need the Food, Prayer Points, Bolts or Arrows from them, and you have a decent Gold
income, feel free to start leveling
Township.
Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills:
Skill | Level | Reason |
---|---|---|
60 | Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles) in the Constellations ![]() | |
85 | For ![]() | |
40 | At 40 ![]() ![]() | |
70 | To start with |
Later Aims should be:
Skill | Level | Reason |
---|---|---|
90 | Both these Skills grant access to ![]() When ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
90 | Only when also doing ![]() ![]() | |
118 | This is highly Optional Not required but very fun to play with, ![]() ![]() |
Starting Off Your Journey
Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with Astrology at level 60,
Agility at Level 50,
Runecrafting at Level 85 and
Mining &
Smithing at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey.
- It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30.
- If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some
Chicken,
Cow or
Golbin to get to at least
Attack and
Defence Level 5.
- Craft some Steel Equipment and upgrade it twice with
Silver Bar and
Gold Bar to it's (G) version so it gets the Damage Reduction.
- Equip the armour and continue your Combat.
- It is suggested to do Slayer Tasks. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do.
- If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some
- When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to Mithril Equipment. Seeing as our
Mining and
Smithing isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from
Mithril Knight.
- Collect: 2x
Mithril Helmet, 1x
Mithril Platebody, 2x
Mithril Platelegs and 2x
Mithril Boots.
- Turn 1 set of these items in for Normal Township Task #1, this rewards a
(G) Mithril Platebody and
(G) Mithril Shield, saving you some time needing to gather the
Silver Bar and
Gold Bar.
- Upgrade the
Mithril Helmet,
Mithril Platelegs and
Mithril Boots to (G) the normal way so they get Damage Reduction too.

Silver Bar and 750
Gold Bar.

- Collect: 2x
- Continue Farming
Slayer while leveling your Combat Skills.
- Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for Rune Equipment, completely skipping Adamant Equipment.
- We also can't craft Rune Equipment so we'll be getting it from
Rune Knight.
- This will be the last Melee Armour Set needed before upgrading to God Equipment.
- A good Weapon alternative at this point is
Ice Sword or
Ice Dagger or
Ice Battleaxe. This can be obtained from
Frozen Cove.
- Upgrade the
Rune Helmet,
Rune Platebody,
Rune Platelegs,
Rune Boots and
Rune Shield to (G).
- This will require 2,000
Silver Bar and 3,750
Gold Bar.
- This will require 2,000

- Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for Rune Equipment, completely skipping Adamant Equipment.
- You will also need to level your
Magic and
Ranged.
Magic Wizard Armour you can craft in
Runecrafting.
- Simply craft the highest Wizard Armour you can craft that matches the Element of the highest Spell you can Cast. This will increase the Minimum Damage of the Spell.
- A
Magic Wand (Powerful) can be crafted by upgrading 100
Magic Wand (Basic)
- Or as a drop from
Angel or
Dark Wizard, which are both
Magic enemies and can be rather rough unless your
Ranged is already decently leveled.
- Or as a drop from
- D-Hide Equipment is slightly harder to come by. For this,
Spider Forest needs to be cleared several times
- This drops Green D-Hide Equipment (Level 40), Blue D-Hide Equipment (Level 50), Red D-Hide Equipment (Level 60) and Black D-Hide Equipment (Level 70).
- Clearing
Spider Forest 30 times rewards 10,000
, 25,000
and a
(U) Green D-hide Body through Normal Township Task #3
Amulet of Looting also drops in this dungeon. When worn this item loots all items directly into your bank instead of the Loot Box.
- It is recommended you keep 5
Amulet of Looting for the
Loot Container Stacking later on.
- There is also a Township Task to turn one in, although this only provides 25,000
and is not worth it at this time.
- It is recommended you keep 5
- You can get a
Adamant Crossbow,
Rune Crossbow or
Dragon Crossbow by thieving
Marauder at
Level 21.
- An easy way to get Bolts is by buying Slayer Resupplies. This will also provide you Prayer Points and some Food.
- At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting
Slayer tasks until you reach
Level 77.
- At
Level 77 you're set to start
Volcanic Cave, you can find a guide here.
