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.


There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of gp gain.

== Smithing Dragon Platebodies Max (2117k/hr) ==
{{Strategy0.14}}
=== 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.
 
{{Main|Reference=Math:Dragon_Platebodies}}
 
== Fishing for Whales (Max 1140k/hr) ==
=== Requirements ===
* Level 95 [[Fishing]]
 
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]: chance of double items
* [[Fishing Skillcape]]: double items
* [[Amulet of Fishing]]: faster
* [[Dragon Fishing Rod]]: faster
* Level 99 [[Raw Whale]] [[Mastery]]: no junk, chance of double items
=== 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 is the most important level milestone, 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.
 
== Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr) ==
{{Strategy0.14}}
=== 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]]. For the purpose of calculating 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 496k/hr Idle) ==
{{Strategy0.14}}
=== Requirements ===
* 500k gp to purchase [[Gem Gloves]]
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* The [[Mining Skillcape]] provides additional coal to sell
* Higher tier [[Shop#Pickaxes|Pickaxes]] increase the rate that ore is mined
* Higher [[Mastery]] levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn
* [[Adamantite Ore]] provides the highest idle gp rates when all ores and gems are sold
* Actively switching to the highest tier [[Mining#Ores|ore]] yields higher gp rates
=== Method ===
This method relies on [[Gem Gloves]] increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding [[Rune Essence]]). The average value of a [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] is 381.25 gp, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only 250 gp. Thus an additional 131.25gp of profit is earned per mining action. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the [[Smithing]] skill.
 
== Chopping Magic Logs (Max 444k/hr) ==
{{Strategy0.14}}
=== Requirements ===
* Level 75 [[Woodcutting]]
=== Improves Gp Rate ===
* Higher tier [[Shop#Axes|axes]] increase the rate that trees are chopped
* The [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade allows the player to also cut [[Yew Logs]] for additional profit
* 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 [[Yew Logs]] (if the [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs for profit.
 
== Mining Dragon Ore (Max 162k/hr) ==
{{Strategy0.14}}
Mining [[Dragonite Ore]] is one of the lowest entry level money making strategies. It requires 95 mining and 270 total mastery in mining. The rate at which gp is earned is dependent on the pickaxe level owned, as well as the dragon ore mastery level. This is because the pickaxe increases mining speed and the mastery level determines the amount of ore that can extract from a rock before it has to regenerate. Mining Gloves are not used, because they cost more than the gp earned by using them.

== Combat ==
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]].
