Q: Why haven't I gotten that rare drop yet?
===General===
 
Q: Combat is scary! Where do I start? What gear should I grind next?
:A: The drop rates are often given in the wiki, but the drop-rate is very different to the chance of getting that reward through farming. For example, a drop-rate of 1 in 33,333 (0.03%) would take: 23,105 actions for a 50% chance; 76,752 actions for a 90% chance; and a staggering 153,504 actions for a 99% chance of getting this reward. You could also receive it on the first attempt. See [[drop rates]] for more information on this.
 
Q: How does upgrading (or downgrading) items work?
 
:A: Some items can be upgraded to improve their stats or create new equipment. For example, most armour can be upgraded with {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} to improve stats. Some items can be downgraded too. For example, perfectly food can be downgraded to the standard type which might help with stacking. Items that can be upgraded/downgraded will have an overlay icon visible in the bank. Upgrading normally has a costs, and you can see what the requirements are by viewing the item in your bank and choosing Upgrade. For more information, visit the [[Upgrading Items]] page.


:A: There are many guides on the wiki to help! Check out the combat guide, and the guides for melee, ranged and magic. https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Guides
Q: Can I train combat skills without fighting enemies?


Q: What does a particular Combat Skill do?
:A: For some skills, yes. You can earn {{Skill|Magic}} XP with Alt Magic, and {{Skill|Strength}} XP by wearing {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}} and catching fish in the Barbarian Fishing area. You can also obtain boosts for combat skills such as {{Skill|Astrology}}, {{Skill|Agility}} and {{AoD}} {{Skill|Cartography}}.


: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.

Q: How is XP for {{Icon|Combat}} skills calculated?
Q: How is XP for {{Icon|Combat}} skills calculated?


:A: XP is gained for {{Icon|Combat}} based on damage you do. Some skills like {{Skill|Prayer}} have XP that varies, so be sure to check their respective pages and see exactly how much XP it gives.
:A: XP is gained for {{Icon|Combat}} based on damage you do (and not the damage you receive). You will receive XP for each of the combat skills that you are using. For example, if you are using melee slash, then it will increase {{Skill|Strength}}, but not {{Skill|Attack}}. The {{Skill|Slayer}} XP will be awarded when you do Slayer tasks or kill Slayer monsters. Skills like {{Skill|Prayer}} have XP that varies depending on the prayer used. See [[Combat]] for more details.


Q: Does item doubling such as {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} work on dungeon chests? Do these items stack?
Q: How much [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) do I have?


:A: Yes. You have a chance to obtain 2 chests from a single [[dungeon]] completion with either {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} or {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} equipped. The double loot drop chance stacks additively for a total of 15% chance to earn double loot. You only need to have the item doubling items equipped at the time you kill the final dungeon boss to increase the chance of doubling the chest.
:A: The Stats Card that can be found in the [[combat]] section of the game (or see the {{Icon|Combat|Stats}} on Mobile) and show your actual DR for the monster you are fighting. Note that the "View Equipment Stats" page will not include any modifiers from [[Pets]] or {{Skill|Agility}}, for example, and so may not show your actual DR.


Q: Does the 100% item doubling from {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}} stack with other sources of item doubling?
Q: My [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) is different than what I expected?


:A: No. Item doubling is hard-capped to 100%
:A: Damage Reduction is calculated by adding up all of your boosts, but can be lowered by buffs from things such as skills, [[Pets]]. For exammple, some {{Skill|Agility}} obstacles can lower your DR, and certain enemies can also reduce DR. The [[Combat Triangle]] might also be negatively impacting your DR.


Q: I've been farming for <X> item/pet for a much longer time than all the recommended posts/guides/math says. Why haven't I gotten it?
Q: How do I idle a monster without dying?


:A: Unless the item is a special drop (see [[Easter Eggs]]), you're probably just unlucky. The drop rates listed on the wiki are pulled directly from the game's code, so it is impossible for them to be incorrect.
:A: The main factors that let you safely idle a monster are your {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and [[Damage Reduction]] (DR). However, it is still possible for you to run out of food, or for your consumables (such as ammo, or boosts) to run out leading to death. See the [[Combat#How_to_idle_monsters|how to idle monsters]] of [[combat]] for more information.

Line 56: Line 60:
:A: You can reduce dragonbreath damage with your [[Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]], using the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, and the {{ItemIcon|Cyclops}}/{{ItemIcon|Dragon}} summoning [[Synergy|synergy]]. However, your best bet is to just stock up on [[Food]] and kill the dragons more efficiently. You will generally be best off using {{Skill|Magic}} against dragons. Try to increase your damage and item doubling instead of focusing on defence.

Q: When can I farm for the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}}?
Q: Can I fight [[monsters]] offline?
 
:A: Yes. It was introduced [[v0.21|early on]] and can be enabled from the Settings menu.
 
Q: Does the 100% item doubling from {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}} stack with other sources of item doubling?


:A: Full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet|Mithril}} armour and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|weapons}} are fine if you are in a hurry. Just make sure you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier I}} and lots of food. If you want to fight safely without manually eating, check the questions about death below.
:A: No. Item doubling is limited to a 100% chance.
Q: How do I beat this dungeon?


:A: The wiki has guides for many dungeons on the [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|Guides]] page.
=== Dungeons ===


Q: How can I make sure I can fight this monster idle without dying?
Q: Are the guides for dungeons?


:A: The only factors that ensure you can idle a monster safely is your {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and your [[Damage Reduction]].
:A: Yes. The wiki has guides for many of the dungeons, see [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|Dungeon Guides]] for more information.


:For most monsters, you can check by comparing your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold to 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 are safe to fight the monster afk as long as you don't rune out of [[Food]], ranged ammo or runes.
Q: Does item doubling such as {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} work on dungeon chests? Do these items stack?


:While all the information can be found ingame, this check can be difficult 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.
:A: Yes and Yes. The double loot drop chance stacks additively for each boost you obtain. For example, you have a chance to obtain double chests from a [[dungeon]] completion with {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} or {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} equipped, but equipping both with give you a 15% chance of doubling chests. Also, you only need to have the items equipped at the time you kill the final dungeon boss to increase the chance of doubling the chest.
:* The website [https://silberdrachi.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.
:* The Combat Sim mod mentioned by Can I Idle is still being developed as of 12/15/22
:* There is a new mod "Will I die?" although the author has not tested it. To learn about modding, go to the Mods section of this FAQ


Q: How can I tell exactly how much [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) I have? Does the "View Equipment Stats" page give me an accurate number?
Q: Why am I safe to idle the boss {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor|Malcs}} in the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} dungeon even though it has a higher max hit than my [[Auto Eat]] threshold?


:A: The "View Equipment Stats" page is often inaccurate as it does not include any modifiers such as [[Pets]] or [[Agility]]. Always default to using the Stats card in the combat page ({{Icon|Combat|Stats}} on Mobile)
:A: This boss does not use its normal attack, so its max hit is only 520 damage and not its listed max hit of 982.


Q: My [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) is lower than what I calculated, why?
Q: I've cleared this dungeon many times but have not unlocked the Ancient/Archaic Magicks spell for it.


:A: Check for Agility Obstacles which may lower DR. Also note that some enemies can lower your DR, especially many [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] monsters. Don't forget the [[Combat Triangle]]!
:A: With item doubling, you can also double chest drops which increases your odds of getting these rare items. However, drop-rates do not guarantee you will get the reward quickly. You can find your dungeon clear count in Completion Log > Monsters > Dungeon Bosses under the heading "Times Slain". See here to learn more about how [[drop rates]] work.

Q: What happens if you die?
Q: What happens when you die?


:A: When you [[Combat#Death|die]] a random item from your currently selected Equipment Set will be lost forever. You can lose full stacks of ammo, consumables and summoning tablets, but not food or potions. If your character is in {{Icon|Hardcore}} mode, on death it is permanently deleted instead.

Q: Do staves make spells require less runes?
Q: Are staves worth making?

Q: What is the best way to level up {{Skill|Magic}}?
:A: See [[Magic/Training]].


Q: What are curses and auroras? Should I use them?
Q: What are curses and auroras? Should I use them?


:A: Curses debuff enemies, while auroras buff the player. Some of these are very powerful and are important in late game combat. In the early game, it may or may not be worth it depending on your Runecrafting efficiency. You cannot use curses with Ancient Magicks. Curses and auroras do not directly give magic XP, but they can increase your damage output and therefore your XP gain.

Q: How do I train Prayer efficiently?
Q: How do I train Prayer efficiently?


:A: Until someone writes a guide.. Start by earning prayer points. You earn some from monster drops, but you will want to earn more from Urns, Skeleton fish, Blessed Offering, or Slayer Resupply in the Shop. Then, activate prayers that give prayer xp and fight monsters! Your xp rate will depend on your damage, while your attack speed determines how quickly you will spend prayer points. You can optimize this by killing high hp, low evasion enemies with a slow attack speed weapon. You can also reduce prayer point usage as detailed on the prayer page. https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Prayer#Reducing_Prayer_Point_Usage

Q: What is a Slayer Area Effect and Flat Slayer Area Effect Negation?
Q: What is a Slayer Area Effect and Flat Slayer [[Area Effect Negation]]?


:A: [[Slayer Areas]] each have a persistent effect, which will debuff the player or buff the enemies found there as long as you are fighting in that area. The first few areas have minor effects, but as you progress they become much more impactful.

:To overcome the effect, you need Slayer Area Negation. This stat comes from many sources, including slayer armor. The negation % you have is a flat reduction. For example, say you are fighting in the [[Holy Isles]] which has the slayer area effect "+20% prayer point cost for prayers". If you are wearing basic slayer helmet and plate body which each give "5% slayer area negation", then the slayer area debuff will be 20% - 5% - 5% = +10% cost for prayers.

Q: Why am I getting tons of Ancient ring of skilling/mastery and not the other?
Q: How do I get a lot of {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} for a township task?


:A: You have an equal chance to get the ancient ring of skilling or mastery. If you are getting more of one than the other, its just bad luck.

Q: When should I make bars with {{Skill|Smithing}} instead of using the {{Skill|Alt Magic}} spell {{Icon|Superheat}}?


:A: Superheat is another viable way to make bars that may or may not be more beneficial for you. Superheat gives you magic XP, does not use coal and can make multiple bars at higher levels. However, you don't benefit from item preservation or doubling, you don't gain [[Mastery]] Experience, and it is slightly more difficult to obtain buffs and interval reduction effects compared to smithing.

Q: How do I gain resources and/or experience?


Q: What are ticks and how do I spend them?
:A: Township updates automatically once every hour. When these updates occur, the player will receive [[Township#Resources|resources]] and experience, where the amount of resources gained with each update can be seen on the tiles near the top of the Township page in-game. Using the gained resources to construct additional [[Township#Buildings|buildings]] can increase the amount of resources gained with each update.
:A: Township uses a unique tick system instead of constantly running. Ticks are a passively generated resource at a rate of 1 Tick per 5 minutes. Ticks can be spent at any time to progress your town, affecting all aspects of your town from population to resources, and with no limit on the amount of Ticks you can store, the town does not need constant attention to run.


Q: Why aren't I gaining resources?
Q: Why aren't I gaining resources?


:A: You have to spend a tick to generate resources. Then make sure you have free storage space, resource production buildings and workers in them, and that those resources are not being completely consumed by other buildings or biomes.
:A: Check whether your storage is full. If so, excess resources can be [[Township#Trading Post|traded]] using the trader, or can be thrown away by using the "Yeet Resources" section of the "Manage Storage" tab. A cap for each resource may also be set under the manage storage tab, which can prevent storage filling up with an excessive amount of any one resource.

Q: I just started and spent all my stone, and now I can't build a [[Miners Pit]].
Q: I've made some poor choices with the buildings I have constructed, can I restart?


:A: You will have to restart your town. Next time, try following the tutorial in the Tasks section or a player-written guide.
:A: Towns cannot be restarted following the Township rework introduced as part of [[V1.1.2]]. You will simply have to wait for enough updates to pass until you have enough resources to construct further buildings.


Q: Do I get my ticks or land back if I restart my town?
Q: Is it worth doing any of the township tasks?


:A: You keep all of your unspent ticks when restarting. If you had fewer than 144 ticks left, you will start your new town with 144 ticks. You keep all of your purchased land. You will have to purchase the land in the new town, but it will be free up to the amount of land previously purchased.
:A: Yes. The Casual tasks will help your town grow quicker, and will provide you some resources at the start of the game. The main tasks (Easy through Elite) will unlock unique items in the [[Shop]] that can help level up your skills and give permanent boosts to all areas of the game.
