There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of GP gain.
{{UnderConstruction}}
The Skill requirements listed in each method are the ''minimum'' required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like [[Skillcapes]], or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.

=== Requirements ===
* Level 99 [[Mining]]
* Level 99 [[Smithing]]
* [[Mining Skillcape]]
* [[Smithing Skillcape]]
* [[Dragon Pickaxe]]
* 500k gp to purchase [[Gem Gloves]]
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* Making [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] more than doubles their value. This requires:
** Level 99 [[Herblore]]
** Level 80 [[Farming]]
* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] for a 10% chance to double ore, bar, platebody, and potion gains
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.
** Level 53 [[Herblore]]
** Level 50 [[Farming]]
* Increasing [[Mastery]] Level of items provide additional resource-saving and doubling benefits.
=== Method ===
# Gather [[Dragonite Ore]], [[Runite Ore]] and [[Coal Ore]] in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the [[Mining Skillcape]]. Depending on [[Mastery]] Levels and whether or not [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] are being made, either [[Gem Gloves]] or [[Mining Gloves]] should be worn.
# Make [[Dragonite Bar|Dragonite Bars]] while wearing the [[Smithing Skillcape]].
# Make [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]]
# Make the [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] if possible.
# Sell the [[Mining#Gems|Gems]], [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] and [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]] for profit
=== GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery ===
The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the [[Barrentoe Herb|Barrentoe Herbs]] for creating [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

=== Calculating the GP Rate ===
The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

== Fishing ==
{{V|0.18.0}}
=== Raw Whales (Max 1746k/hr) ===
==== Requirements ====
* Level 95 [[Fishing]]
==== Improves GP Rate ====
* [[Dragon Fishing Rod]]
* [[Amulet of Fishing]]
* [[Fishing Skillcape]]
* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]
* [[Pudding Duckie]]
* Level 99 [[Raw Whale]] [[Mastery]]: Always catch a minimum quantity of 2 fish
* Mastery Pool 95% Checkpoint
==== Expected Outputs Per Hour ====
*2,328 [[Raw Whale]]
==== Method ====
Equip [[Fishing]] gear and fish for [[Raw Whale|Whales]]. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. 65 Whale Mastery or 25% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint are the most important targets, either of which will remove the junk catch chance. [[Fishing]] is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.

== Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr) ==
{{OldStrategy|version=v0.14}}
=== Requirements ===
* Level 99 [[Woodcutting]]
* Level 99 [[Fletching]]
* [[Dragon Axe]] Upgrade
* [[Multi-Tree]] Upgrade
* [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]
* [[Fletching Skillcape]]
* (Optional) [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]
* (Optional) [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]]
=== Method ===
By utilizing the output doubling of the [[Fletching Skillcape]], the value of [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] and [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]. To calculate the maximum [[GP]] per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:
# Cut [[Yew Logs|yew logs]] and [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] simultaneously while wearing the [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]. The yew logs should be sold.
# Fletch the magic logs into [[Magic Longbow (u)]] while wearing the [[Fletching Skillcape]].
# Purchase [[Bowstring|bowstrings]] from the [[Shop]] and fletch the unstrung bows into [[Magic Longbow]].
# Sell the longbows for profit.
Without using [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] and [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.
== Mining with Gem Gloves (Max 729k/hr Idle) ==
=== Requirements ===
* 500k gp to purchase {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* The {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} provides additional coal to sell
* Higher tier [[Shop#Pickaxes|Pickaxes]] increase the rate that ore is mined
* The {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}} god upgrade decreases the mining interval by 20%
* Higher {{Icon|Mastery}} levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] ({{SkillReq|Herblore|53}}can increase idle GP rates by decreasing the amount of time spent waiting for ores to respawn
* Mining and selling {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate when using [[Perfect Swing Potion III]] and below. When using {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate.
* Actively switching to the highest tier [[Mining#Ores|ore]] yields higher GP rates
=== Method ===
This method relies on {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}). The average value of a [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] is {{GP|381.25}}, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only {{GP|250}}. Thus {{GP|131.25}} of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the {{Skill|Smithing}} skill.
With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}}, {{MasteryReq|Dragonite Ore|99}}, and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}s, and the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}, an average of 2,423 {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, the gems from the gloves, and the coal, {{GP|279}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|728960}} profit per hour.
With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} and {{MasteryReq|Adamantite Ore|50}}, an average of 2,117 {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, and the gems from the gloves, {{GP|219}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|486114}} profit per hour.
==Woodcutting==
=== Chopping Magic Logs (Max 1213k/hr) ===
{{V|0.18.0}}
==== Requirements ====
* Level 75 [[Woodcutting]]
==== Improves Gp Rate ====
* Higher tier [[Shop#Axes|axes]] increase the rate that trees are chopped
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Bird Nest Potions]] increase the rate at which [[Bird Nest|bird's nests]] are gained
* [[Clue Chasers Insignia]] can further increase the rate of [[Bird Nest|bird's nests]]
* The [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade allows the player to also cut a second log for additional profit
** If the player is using [[Bird Nest Potion I]] or no potions [[Yew Logs]] should be cut
** If the player is using [[Bird Nest Potion II]] or above, [[Normal Logs]] should be cut
* The [[Master of Nature]] god upgrade increases the GP rate by 25%.
* The [[Woodcutting Skillcape]] doubles the rate that trees are chopped
* Higher levels of log [[Mastery]] increase the chance to receive double the amount of logs
==== Method ====
Simply cut down [[Magic Logs]] and your chosen secondary log (if the [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and bird's nests for profit. If using Bird Nest Potions, a portion of the nests can be opened for [[Potato Seeds]] to make more potions.
Note: The maximum GP rate assumes that the player already has the Bird Nest Potions made.
== Combat ==
{{OldStrategy|version=v0.14}}
Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game, but may require active work or outside automation to prevent the player from dying. Due to the complexity of combat, exact rates are difficult to determine, but some of the highest GP rate targets are as follows: [[Volcanic Cave]], [[Master Farmer|Master Farmers]], [[Black Dragon|Black Dragons]].
