Adventure mode takes what you know about Melvor and turns it on its head! You start with only melee combat unlocked, and must pay an increasing GP cost to unlock each skill. This means that the skills you choose will greatly affect the route you take through the game. Your noncombat skills will be locked to your combat level, so the skilling you can do is very limited at first.
Adventure mode takes what you know about Melvor and turns it on its head! You start with only melee combat unlocked and must pay an increasing GP cost to unlock each skill. It means that the skills you choose will greatly affect the route you take through the game. Your non-combat skills will be locked to your combat level, so the skilling you can do is very limited at first.


This mode requires you to do more combat than the other modes, especially at the beginning. It may be harder for newer players to get a grasp of how all the skills are interconnected without using them first<s>, so a brand new player is not recommended to start on Adventure mode</s>. While this can make it harder for a new player, this mode also reduces the number of early-game choices, which can significantly help new players get a feel for the game. It's all about tradeoffs!
This mode requires you to do more combat than the other modes, especially at the beginning. On one hand, it may be hard for new players to get a grasp of how all skills are connected without using them first. On the other hand, the Adventure mode reduces the number of early-game choices, which can help new players to get a feel of the game. It's all about tradeoffs!


Speaking of tradeoffs, that is the name of the game in this mode. Anyone who tells you that they have the "best" strategy probably doesn't know what they're talking about. You can save time on one grind by picking another skill or targeting a different enemy, but this will likely cost you more time somewhere else. The trick on this mode is to pick aspects of the game that you like the most and focus your time and attention to those areas, then you can apply the time-reduction strategies to the areas you don't like as much. It's all about tradeoffs! We'll get into this more later. That said, there really are ways to hamper yourself pretty badly, so this guide is all about helping you dodge the big mistakes and apply your time where you want to spend it.

The later upgrades of money-making with {{Skill|Thieving}} consist of {{Skill|Herblore}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, and {{Skill|Summoning}}. It's up to you to decide in which order to unlock them and the other skills they need. Nomeru's sheet on Thieving from [[Spreadsheets_and_Theorycrafting]] will come in handy to compare the improvements.
