===General===
 
Q: Combat is scary! Where do I start? What gear should I grind next?
Q: Why haven't I gotten that rare drop yet?
 
: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.
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 does upgrading/trimming work?
Q: How do I obtain the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}}?


:A: Some items can be upgraded to improve their stats or to create new equipment. For more information, visit the [[Upgrading Items]] page.
:A: You will need to complete the {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} dungeon to get a chance of finding this rare item. See the [[Spider Forest/Guide]] for tips on how to beat this dungeon.


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.


Q: How can I avoid taking so much damage from dragonbreath attacks?
Q: How can I avoid taking so much damage from dragonbreath attacks?
Line 54: 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: 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: Yes. It was introduced [[v0.21|early on]] and can be enabled from the Settings menu.


Q: How do I beat this dungeon?
Q: Does the 100% item doubling from {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}} stack with other sources of item doubling?


:A: The wiki has guides for many dungeons on the [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|Guides]] page.
:A: No. Item doubling is limited to a 100% chance.


Q: How can I make sure I can fight this monster idle without dying?
=== Dungeons ===


:A: The only factors that ensure you can idle a monster safely is your {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and your [[Damage Reduction]].
Q: Are the guides for dungeons?


: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 run out of [[Food]], ranged ammo or runes.
:A: Yes. The wiki has guides for many of the dungeons, see [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|Dungeon Guides]] for more information.


: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.
Q: Does item doubling such as {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} work on dungeon chests? Do these items stack?
:* 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.
:* The [[Combat Simulator]] mod is suggested to determine whether or not a particular [[Monster]] or [[Dungeon]] can be safely fought with your particular setup
:* 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. To learn about modding, see the [[#Mods|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?
: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.
 
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.

===Death===
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 {{ItemIcon|Small Urn|Urns}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, {{SpellIcon|Blessed Offering}}, or Slayer Resupplies from the {{Icon|Shop}}. Then, activate prayers that give prayer xp and fight monsters! Your xp rate will depend on your damage done as well as your prayer point expenditure and is calculated as <math>Prayer\ XP\ gained = Damage\ dealt \times Prayer\ Point\ cost \div 30</math>. You can optimize this by killing high hp, low evasion enemies with a slow attack speed weapon and using high cost prayers such as [[Chivalry]] over lower cost prayers such as [[Ultimate Strength]]. You can also reduce prayer point usage as detailed on the {{Skill|Prayer}} page.

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.
:A: When you get a special item, you receive the same amount as you would fish. So if you are getting 4 or 8 fish at a time, you will receive 4 or 8 rings each time they drop.

Q: Why does this tablet recipe seem imbalanced?
Q: Why does this tablet recipe seem imbalanced?


:A: Item costs for tablets are based on the item's sell cost. This is why it takes more Redwood logs than Magic logs to make Ent tablets.

Q: Making tablets to level up Summoning is so slow, how do I level up quicker?
Q: Making tablets to level up Summoning is so slow, how do I level up quicker?


:A: Your main source of summoning xp is spending tablets while training skills. You spend three tablets instead of one when you have a synergy active so you get much more xp. Try to have a synergy active for all the skilling you do, the buffs more than compensate for the time and resources spent creating tablets as you progress.

Q: How do I spend my mastery pool xp?
Q: How do I spend my mastery pool xp?


:A: This is a complicated question. For a simple answer, spend excess mastery pool xp down to the highest checkpoint perk you care about. Spend it on items that are difficult or unproductive to train.
:A: Select "Spend Mastery Pool XP" at the top of the skill page, and you will be able to use mastery XP to upgrade individual items. If the +1 icon is shown as amber then it means that performing this action will take you below a mastery checkpoint.
 
Q: When should I spend my mastery pool xp?
 
:A: This is entirely up to you. For a simple answer, excess mastery pool XP beyond 95% can be spent freely. Below this you should consider what the Checkpoint offers vs the benefit of improving an items level. Alternatively, just buy everything and have fun. There is no wrong way to play Melvor Idle!

Q: My [[Bank]] is full, what do I do?


:A: You will have to purchase hundreds of bank slots in the shop as you progress in the game. But you can also save space by selling items you don't need and didn't take long to gather. If you have a few hundred tin ore but are already smithing iron, you can just sell them! There are a few items you shouldn't sell/use because you'll want them later, including strawberry seeds, dragon bones, antique vases.  
:A: You can purchase {{ItemIcon|Bank Slots}} from the [[Shop]]. Over time you will need many hundreds of bank slots to hold all of your items, and price of bank slots will continue to increase until it reaches {{GP|5000000}} per slot. You can also save space by selling items that you don't need, or those that do not take long to re-gather. For example, you might consider selling {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore}} once you are smithing {{ItemIcon|Iron Bars}}. However, most items will have a use in time, and there are a some items that you shouldn't consider selling because you will need them later. These include {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones}}, {{ItemIcon|Antique Vases}}.

Q: How many [[Bank]] slots are there?


:A: Select the item in your Bank, click the gear icon/tab to switch to Item Settings, then click the Select Tab button and choose which tab(s) should show this icon.
:A: You can get as many as you'd like, but after purchasing 118 slots the price maxes out at {{GP|5000}}k per slot. Bank slots can also be gained by using {{ItemIcon|Bank Slot Token|Bank Slot Tokens}}. [[Hardcore|Hardcore Mode]] has a {{HardcoreBankMax}} bank slot limit from the Shop, but {{ItemIcon|Bank Slot Token|Bank Slot Tokens}} can still be used to increase the amount of bank slots past {{HardcoreBankMax}}.

Q: Should I buy a new Bank Tab from the shop?


Q: I just bought a Superior Skillcape, but it's not showing up in my Quick Equip menu.
:A: The bank tab item provides an empty new tab - it does not give you any new bank slots. At the start of the game you are given 12 bank slots to help organize your items. You will only need this item if you have lots of {{GP}} '''and''' you have a lot of items to organize. It should not be on your "must have" list early on in the game.


:A: No [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] items get added to the Quick Equip menu by default. To add or remove an item from the Quick Equip menu, select the item in your Bank, click the gear icon/tab to switch to Item Settings, then click the various toggles under the Minibar Settings area.
