== How to idle monsters ==
In order to idle monsters, you will need to purchase [[Auto Eat]] which costs {{GP|1000000}} from the [[Shop]].
For most monsters, you will be able to start idling if your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold is lower than the monster's max hit. To find your auto eat threshold, tap the {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} icon below your HP bar. To find the monster's max hit, start fighting the monster and look at their "Maximum Hit" in their Offensive Stats box. This number already accounts for the [[Combat Triangle]] and your [[Damage Reduction]]. If your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold is greater than or equal to the monster's max hit.
You normally are safe to idle monsters as long as you don't run out of [[Food]], [[Ammo]] or [[Runes]].
=== Other considerations ===
While most of this information can be found in the game, it can be difficult to check for dungeons, slayer tasks, and some late game monsters that have special attacks. Players have created tools to help check if you are safe to idle, but please note that they are liable to become out of date and inaccurate.
For more information:
:* The [[Combat Simulator]] mod is suggested to determine whether or not a particular [[Monster]] or [[Dungeon]] can be safely fought with your particular setup
:* The website [https://zxv975.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle Melvor] is an easy to use resource to determine if you can idle safely. As of 12/15/22, the website says it is out of date but it is still valid for [[v1.1.1]] with the exception of Elite and Master [[Slayer#Slayer Tasks|Slayer Tasks]] once the player has beaten [[Impending Darkness Event]] and purchased the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]. This website only has monsters from the base game.
:* There is a new mod [https://mod.io/g/melvoridle/m/will-i-die "Will I die?"], although note that as with the combat simulator this cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Therefore, you should always exercise caution when fighting something for the first time.
