Amulet of Calculated Promotion

The Amulet of Calculated Promotion was added in the Alpha v0.12 update and is the first Easter egg item to be added to the game. Twitch streamer witwix has promoted Melvor Idle on his stream by discussing the game with his community, leading to an increase in active players. The amulet was added as a response by the developer to show his appreciation for this promotion. The amulet is obtainable by changing your character name to "witwix" (case sensitive) and killing Leeches for the Chest of Witwix. The chest will only contain the Amulet of Calculated Promotion if your character name has been changed to witwix.

Clue Chasers Insignia

Bank layout to obtain Clue Chasers Insignia.

The Clue Chasers Insignia was added in the Alpha v0.14 update and was teased with a clue which requires metagaming to solve. The clue for how to obtain the amulet was left in the patch notes:

"The Numbers, mason, What do they mean?!"

The clue is a red herring reference to a cutscene from the game Call of Duty: Black Ops. The numbers important for solving the clue come from the TV show Lost, which uses the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42, as apart of the shows mythology. The numbers correspond to the 'item ID' of items in Melvor Idle, 4 is Maple Logs, 8 is Redwood Logs, 15 is Raw Swordfish, 16 is Raw Crab, 23 is Herring, and 42 is Burnt Cave Fish. These items must be manually placed in the aforementioned order, so that the first 6 slots of your Bank contain them. The items must also have a specific quantity, which is discovered by reversing the number sequence. The correct order and quantity of items is shown below.

Maple Logs (item).svg 42 Maple Logs, Redwood Logs (item).svg 23 Redwood Logs, Raw Swordfish (item).svg 16 Raw Swordfish, Raw Crab (item).svg 15 Raw Crab, Herring (item).svg 8 Herring, Burnt Cave Fish (item).svg 4 Burnt Cave Fish.

Once the items have been moved to the first 6 slots of your Bank in the correct order and quantity, the Clue Chasers Insignia will be automatically awarded to you. If you already have a Clue Chasers Insignia in your bank, or the order/quantity of items is wrong, you will not receive the amulet. If the amulet is equipped, sold or lost, the amulet can be obtained again using the same method.

69(lol)

"69(lol)" is a Farming easter egg where "(lol)" is added next to every instance of 69 appearing on the Farming page. Whenever Snape Grass, Carrots, or other high wait time seeds are planted the information tile will read "Time Left: About 69(lol) mins" remaining. This Easter egg was added in the Alpha v0.12 update, which made changes to the Farming UI.

Golbins

Prior to patch version Alpha v0.13, some of the creatures were erroneously named Goblin, which is a creature from European folklore, used most commonly in fantasy settings today. Patch Alpha v0.13 changed all creatures named Goblin to Golbin, which is the developer's unique spin on the Goblin archetype.

wherearemylemons

Using "wherearemylemons" to add Lemons to the bank.

Typing "wherearemylemons" into the Bank search will now give you a Lemon. Lemon, Lemons, and Lemonade are joke items added in the April Fools 2020 Event, v0.14.69.

Patreon Items

Equipment and items with the "Created by Patreon (Username)" tag are available to all players. Players who have supported the development of Melvor Idle through Patreon have had their ideas implemented into the game and the Patreon item tag distinguishes which items are player-made. Chapeau Noir, Bobbys Pocket, Book of Eli, Sunset Rapier, and Aorpheats Signet Ring are examples of Patreon items.

Monster and Item Names

An possible early iteration of the art for Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor.

Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor, is a combat level 677 dungeon boss named after the developer of the game. Prat, the Protector of Secrets is a combat level 360 dungeon monster named after the artist, writer and Discord moderator of the game. The Cape of Prat is also named after Prat, with the flavour text, "You're more accurate when you're naked." The text is purely for flavour and has no mechanical impact. The text is a reference to an in-joke between the developer and Prat.
