Template:V0.13

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.

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.

Patreon Items

Equipment and items with the "Patreon Item (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 Serpent of Fire 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.
