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: Do I just use all my [[Mastery Tokens]]?
Q: Should I use [[Mastery Tokens]]?

Q: Why are some items so expensive in the [[Shop]]?


:A: ''Known Bug'' If you set the "Buy" multiplier higher than 1, it may display single-purchase items as if it were buying more than one of them. Try lowering your Buy multiplier, even if it is only available in a different Shop tab.

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: How many [[Bank]] slots are there?
 
: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}}.


: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.  
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.

:<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">game.bank.tabIcons.clear();
