[[Slayer]] experience is earned by killing enemies in [[slayer area|slayer areas]] or by completing Slayer Tasks. Slayer Tasks also earn you Slayer Coins which are used to purchase [[Shop#Slayer|Slayer Equipment]] from the [[Shop]].

For a more in depth look at these skills and the mechanics associated with them, please visit their respective pages. | |||
===== Woodcutting ===== | |||
[[Woodcutting]] is a strong choice as a first skill to level first in Melvor Idle and is the best way to obtain Wood for [[Firemaking]] and [[Fletching]]. You can cut two trees simultaneously by purchasing the Multi-Tree upgrade from the [[Shop#Miscellaneous|Shop]] for 1 million GP (1000k). | |||
Cutting Logs from Yew, and Magic Trees, to sell for GP is one of the best early game [[Money Making]] strategies. This will earn you between 150,000 and 220,000 GP per hour with a [[Woodcutting#Shop_Upgrades|Dragon Axe]] depending on your Tree Mastery Levels. At level 99 Woodcutting you can purchase a [[Woodcutting Skillcape]] from the [[Shop]] to increase your [[Woodcutting]] speed, further increasing your profits. | |||
===== Fishing ===== | |||
[[Fishing]] allows you to catch [[Fishing#Fish|raw fish]] which can be [[Cooking|Cooked]] for food. At level 30+ [[Fishing]] you will find a [[Treasure Chest]] 1% of the time while fishing. The [[Treasure Chest]] will contain an [[Amulet of Fishing]] 1% of the time, which increases your fishing catch rate from 70% to 100%. | |||
===== Firemaking ===== | |||
[[Firemaking]] is levelled to unlock higher tier [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fires]] and create [[Coal Ore]]. [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fires]] are [[Shop#Cooking_Fires|Skill Upgrades]] purchased from the [[Shop]] and are used in [[Cooking]] to obtain a Cooking Experience Bonus. You will only earn [[Coal Ore]] 40% of the time from burning Logs and other methods - such as [[Mining]] - are more efficient for gathering coal. | |||
Lighting [[Firemaking#Bonfires|Bonfires]] will only give an Experience Bonus to [[Firemaking]] while active. | |||
===== Cooking ===== | |||
[[Cooking]] is used to turn your [[Fishing#Fish|raw fish]] into edible food. [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fires]] can be purchased from the [[Shop]] and are unlocked by raising your [[Firemaking]] skill. [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fires]] let you cook without manually lighting a fire and grant an Experience Bonus to [[Cooking]]. | |||
Food burns 30% of the time until 50 [[Mastery|Mastery Level]] when food will burn 1% of the time. Burnt food is inedible and can be sold from the [[Bank]]. [[Cooking Gloves]] can be purchased from the [[Shop]] will prevent food from burning when worn. | |||
===== Mining ===== | |||
[[Mining]] is another strong option to level first. The [[Mastery|Mastery Level]] of each [[Mining#Ores|ore]] affects how many times you can mine it before it's depleted and needs to respawn. The more valuable the [[Mining#Ores|ore]] is the longer the respawn time will be, with durations ranging from 1 to 120 seconds. Every time you mine there's a 1% chance you will find a random [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] in addition to your [[Mining#Ores|ore]]. | |||
Mining with [[Gem Gloves]] is one of the most effective [[Money Making]] strategies available in the early game. At 99 Mining with Gem Gloves and a [[Mining Skillcape]] you can earn up to 500k GP an hour while idle mining. | |||
===== Smithing ===== | |||
[[Smithing]] is used to turn [[Mining#Ores|ore]] into weapons, armour, and arrowtips. | |||
[[Smithing#Dragon_Gear|Armour]] made with [[Smithing]] is powerful although the best armour in the game can only be obtained using [[Shop#Slayer|Slayer Coins at the Shop]] or by killing [[Monsters|enemies]]. | |||
===== Thieving ===== | |||
[[Thieving]] lets you Pickpocket for GP and items. [[Thieving Gloves]] sold at the [[Shop]] give you +10% to your [[Thieving]] success rate when equipped. [[Thieving]] is the only way to find the [[Chapeau Noir]] hat and is arguably the best way to obtain [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]]. At level 30 [[Thieving]] the [[Farmer]] will be unlocked and is a prime target for acquiring seeds early on. You will only earn experience and on successful Pickpocket attempts. | |||
===== Farming ===== | |||
You can [[Farming|Farm]] and complete other tasks simultaneously, Fertilising, Planting, and Harvesting does not interrupt other skills. [[Farming]] is one of the most time efficient ways to obtain food, which is used for healing in [[Combat]]. [[Farming]] is also the only way to obtain the [[Farming#Herbs_2|Herbs]] used in potion brewing with [[Herblore]]. | |||
[[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] planted without [[Compost|fertiliser]] have a 50% chance to yield crops after growing. To increase the chance above 50% you must fertilise the [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] using [[Compost]]. Each [[Compost]] used on a [[Farming#Seeds|Seed]] will increase its survival chance by 10%, raising your [[Compost]] Level to 5 will guarantee your crops survive. [[Compost]] must be used every time a [[Farming#Seeds|Seed]] is planted to have an effect. Any crop that reaches [[Mastery|Mastery Level]] 50 will always survive without [[Compost]], and any crop that reaches [[Mastery|Mastery Level]] 71 will yield enough [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] on average to be replanted perpetually. | |||
To start [[Farming]] you will need [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]]. The most efficient way to gather [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] is to level [[Thieving]] to 30 and Pickpocket the [[Farmer]]. [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] can also be found by killing enemies like the [[Junior Farmer|Junior]], [[Adult Farmer|Adult]], and [[Master Farmer]], in the [[Farmlands]], from [[Birds Nest|Birds Nests]] found during [[Woodcutting]], and from [[Chest Drop Tables|Chests]] acquired in [[dungeons|Dungeons]]. It is recommended that you start levelling [[Farming]] early on as the levelling process is fairly active and lengthy. | |||
===== Fletching ===== | |||
[[Fletching]] is used to make [[Equipment#Ranged_6|bows]] and [[Equipment#Arrows|arrows]]. | |||
[[Fletching]] [[Magic Longbow|Magic Longbows]] using [[Magic Logs]] and [[Bowstring]] is one of the most profitable [[Money Making]] Strategies, although this method requires 99 [[Woodcutting]] and [[Fletching]] to be the most efficient. | |||
===== Crafting ===== | |||
[[Crafting]] is used to make Leather/Hide Armour, Rings and Necklaces. Leather and Hide Armour is used to boost the power of [[Ranged]] attacks. Using [[Crafting]] to turn [[Smithing#Bars|Bars]] and [[Mining#Gems|Gems]] into Rings and Amulets is less profitable than just selling the raw materials. | |||
===== Runecrafting ===== | |||
[[Runecrafting]] uses [[Rune Essence]] to create Runes which are used to cast [[Magic#Spells|Magic Spells]]. | |||
===== Herblore ===== | |||
[[Herblore]] is used to Brew Potions. A single Potion has many Charges and can be equipped to the Potion slot available for each Skill, which is accessed from the top right of your screen. Once the Charges from a single Potion have been consumed, a new one can be used automatically if "Auto re-use potion" has been enabled in the [[Settings]] Menu. [[Bird Nest Potion I|Bird Nest Potions]] are useful in the early game when levelling [[Woodcutting]] for extra Seeds or GP. | |||
