Q: How do 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 always full! What should I do?
Q: My [[Bank]] is full, what do I do?
 
: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: Can we get more Bank Tabs?
 
:A: Yes, this is possible since [[V1.2]]. Additional Bank Tabs may be bought from the {{Icon|Shop}} at a price of {{GP|100000000}} each.
 
Q: Should I buy a new Bank Tab from the shop?
 
: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.
