FAQ: Difference between revisions

Q: Do {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheats Signet Ring}} work on dungeon chests? Do these items stack?

:A: ''Check out the [[Beginners Guide#Combat Skills|beginner's guide]] for an overview of the combat skills. More detailed information about {{Icon|Combat}} mechanics can be found on the [[Combat]] page.''

:A: ''Combat is currently online only. Only non-combat skills allow [[Offline Progression]]. However, Offline Combat is planned for the future. See [https://melvoridle.com/roadmap/ the planned roadmap of development] here.''

:A: ''Check out the [[Beginners Guide#Combat Skills|beginner's guide]] for an overview of the combat skills. More detailed information about Combat mechanics can be found on the {{Icon|Combat}} page. Basically, {{Skill|Attack}} level increases your accuracy and chance to hit, {{Skill|Strength}} increases your Max Hit, and {{Skill|Defence}} increases your melee evasion rating.''

Q: Does {{Skill|Defence}} also increase your {{Skill|Ranged}} Evasion?

:A: ''Yes, increasing {{Skill|Defence}} level will also improve your {{Skill|Ranged}} evasion.''

:A: ''You died because you either ran out of food, or the max hit of the enemy exceeded the threshold for auto-eat. (Ex: T1 auto-eat, 20% health threshold and you have 100 HP. As the threshold for auto-eat to trigger would be <=20 HP, an enemy with a max hit >21 could kill you without ever triggering auto-eat.)''

:A: ''Yes. {{PetIcon|Finn}} provides +10 maximum HP, and {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} provides +30 maximum HP.''

Q: What is the best way to level up {{Skill|Ranged}}?

:A: ''Many players use [[Air Rune|Air]] spells to level up [[Magic]], as it removes the need to use more than one [[Runecrafting|Rune]] when attacking. However, some [[Magic#Ancient Magiks|Ancient Magiks]] such as {{Icon|type=spell|Gust}} and {{Icon|type=spell|Incinerate}} provide the highest exp/second of any skill in the game, and provide a high pet chance too.''

:''Training via [[Alternative Magic]] also allows players to train Magic through non-combat means while also helping them with other skills, for example by smelting bars with {{Icon|Superheat}} or making {{ItemIcon|Holy Dust}} to bury for {{Skill|Prayer}} points via {{Icon|type=spell|Blessed Offering}}.''

:A: ''No, they give you prayer points, used to activate [[Prayer#Prayers|prayers]] during {{Icon|Combat}}. Most prayers will give you Prayer XP while active, unless specified.''

:A: ''That is your [[Prayer|Prayer Points]]. Prayer Points are used to cast highly useful [[Prayer]]s in [[Combat]].''

Q: How do I get {{Skill|Slayer}} exp?

:A: ''Completing [[Slayer#Slayer Tasks|Slayer Tasks]] will give you Slayer exp equal to 15% of that monster's hitpoints. Alternatively, defeating any [[monsters|monster]] in any [[slayer area]] will give you exp equal to 5% of that [[monster|monster's]] hitpoints.''

Q: How do I get {{Icon|Slayer Coins}}? What is the number next to [[Slayer]] in the sidebar?

:A: ''[[Slayer Coins]] are displayed in the sidebar next to the [[Slayer]] skill and in the [[Shop]] next to total [[GP]]. [[Slayer Coins]] can only be earned by completing [[Slayer#Slayer Tasks|Slayer Tasks]]. [[Monsters]] killed for [[Slayer#Slayer Tasks|Slayer Tasks]] earn [[Slayer Coins]] and [[Slayer]] experience points equal to 10% of the slain [[monster|monster's]] hitpoints.''

:A: ''[[Bird Nest]]s have a 0.5% chance to drop every time a tree is cut. This chance can be increased with {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion IV|Bird Nest Potions}}, for instance.''

:A: ''Cutting the quickest tree with best exp. Currently, the best is Redwood Tree by far, followed by Yew and Mahogany.''

:A: ''{{ItemIcon|Rope}} can be [[Upgrading Items|upgraded]] into {{ItemIcon|Bowstring|Bowstrings}}, and other fishing junk can be turned into [[gem]]s with the use of {{Icon|type=spell|Rags to Riches I}}.

:A: ''Increasing the [[Firemaking]] skill level allows the player to purchase higher tier cooking fires from the [[Shop#Cooking Fires|Shop]]. Also, the {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} (which is purchasable from the [[Shop]] upon reaching {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}}) provides a 5% global experience bonus. Furthermore, getting 99 mastery on each log will give further global mastery experience.''

:A: ''Burn the highest log you have unlocked, but use {{ItemIcon|Yew Logs}} and {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}} over {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}}. [[Controlled Heat Potion]]s decrease the time significantly.''

:A: ''Burnt fish have [[Easter Eggs#Clue Chasers Insignia|no]] use and can be sold.''

:A: ''Gems are used for {{Skill|Crafting}} jewelry and brewing some {{Skill|Herblore|potions}}, as well as {{Skill|Fletching}} [[Fletching#Gem-Tipped Bolts|Gem Tipped Bolts]]. [[Gem Gloves]] give players a reliable way to collect more gems, so it's acceptable to sell them early on for [[GP]].''

:A: ''It is possible to find armour as loot when killing [[monsters]], so leveling [[Smithing]] is not technically required. If you choose to focus on {{Skill|Magic}} rather than Melee, you can focus on {{Skill|Runecrafting}} instead.''

Q: Why can't I thieve offline?

:A: ''To thieve offline, first you must have a 90% success rate with the NPC you are thieving from. You may bring the success rate up to 90% with {{ItemIcon|Thieving Gloves}}, but the progress will stop once the charges run out.''

:A: ''No. It is not possible, although you may die the moment you enter Melvor Idle, so be careful.''

:A: ''At the beginning of the game, you can only grow {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}, which require {{ItemIcon|Potato Seeds|qty=3}} to plant. As your skill level increases, you will be able to plant more things, including [[Farming#Herbs 2|herbs]] and [[Farming#Trees 2|trees]].''

:A: ''This is a known bug, where sometimes if a plant is replanted immediately after the timer finishes, then the plant will grow almost instantly. This also occurs with [[Farming#Herbs 2|herbs]] and [[Farming#Trees 2|trees]].''

:A: ''Crafting Combination Runes provides much more exp than regular runes do, and getting 25% mastery pool in Runecrafting makes a huge difference.''

:A: ''To use a potion, go to the skill that the potion is for. If it is a [[Herblore#Combat Potions|combat potion]], go to the {{Icon|Combat}} page. At the top right of the screen there is a button with an empty potion that you can press, and from there you should be able to select any potions you have in your inventory for that skill. Note the "toggle Auto-Reuse" option - having that active means that when the potion you're using runs out of charges, it automatically starts using another potion of the same type.

:A: ''You level up the mastery for that potion until it automatically switches the tier to the next level. The tiers are:''

:* '''Tier 4:''' Mastery level 90.

:A: ''Levels only have a mechanical impact up to 99, past that Virtual Levels must be turned on in [[Settings]] to keep track. Virtual Levels are a purely visual change allowing the player to see their experience level past 99. Post [[Changelog#Alpha v0.15 - "Return of the Gods" (16th May 2020)|v0.15]] update, mastery levels are hard capped at 99.''

:A: ''There are currently no plans for a reset, although there are other modes (like Hardcore) or the possibility of leaderboards, which would require voluntary resets.''

:A: ''Yes, Melvor Idle can be found on Steam [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1267910/Melvor_Idle/ here].''

:A: ''The Steam version provides achievements, trading cards, no [https://blog.chromium.org/2020/11/tab-throttling-and-more-performance.html throttling] (which can slow down game play in web browsers), plus all of the usual Steam features such as tracking time played.''

:A: ''Suggestions from players on what to add to the game are welcome, [[Patreon Items|with some Patreons having their unique item suggestions added to the game]]. While the game is in alpha, features are being constantly added. For the most up to date information on what's planned, join us on [https://discord.gg/KNakXTh Discord].''
