=== Combat ===

 

Q: Are there any beginners guide for combat?

 

:A: Yes, 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 do I level up in combat?

:A: There are many [[Guides]] on the wiki to help! Check out the [[Combat Guide]], and the guides for melee, ranged and magic.

Q: How do I obtain the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}}?

: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?

: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: How much [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) do I have?

: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: My [[Damage Reduction]] (DR) is different than what I expected?

: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: How do I idle a monster without dying?

: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?

: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: 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: No. Item doubling is limited to a 100% chance.

Q: Are the guides for dungeons?

:A: Yes. The wiki has guides for many of the dungeons, see [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|Dungeon Guides]] for more information.

Q: Does item doubling such as {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} work on dungeon chests? Do these items stack?

: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?

Q: I've cleared this dungeon many times but have not unlocked the Ancient/Archaic Magicks spell for it.

 

: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.

 

 

: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. If you have the {{Icon|Protect Item|type=prayer}} prayer equiped then you will not lose any items on death.

Q: I had {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} on, how did I die?

:A: You died because you either ran out of food or the max hit of the enemy exceeded the threshold for {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}}. For example if you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier I}}, it has 20% health threshold and you have 100 HP. As the threshold for {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}} to trigger would be <=20 HP, an enemy with a max hit >21 could kill you without ever triggering {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}}.

:Some more difficult enemies have special attacks that apply status effects like stun that can let them deal more damage to you than their max hit. Please see the [[Combat Debuff]] page for more information!

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

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

:A: Yes. {{PetIcon|Finn}} provides +10 maximum HP, and {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} provides +30 maximum HP. Also, some obstacles in {{Skill|Agility}} can increase your maximum HP. If you have purchased the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]], you can level up Hitpoints to 120, to a max base hp of 1,200.

 

 

:A: If you are playing on {{Icon|Adventure}} mode, all hitpoints, damage, and [[Food]] healing are multiplied by 10. This is purely a cosmetic change.

:A: Yes. {{Skill|Ranged}} has better clear times than melee for many different combat scenarios, especially against magic enemies. However, you will need to craft or find [[Ranged#Ammo|ammo]]. You will need ranged to progress through the god dungeons (guides are available [[Guides#Dungeon Guides|here]]).

:A: Use longbows. Use Accurate attack style when you're below {{SkillReq|Ranged|5}} and Rapid later. Check out the [[Combat/Guide#Ranged|Combat Guide]] for equipment and milestones.

:A: Yes, {{Skill|Magic}} is extremely effective at killing melee [[monsters]], and most of the monsters in the game are melee. Most monsters have low {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} evasion, so you can kill them faster than with other styles. Also, [[Ancient Magicks]] are very useful in certain situations. You will need ranged to progress through the god dungeons https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Guides#Dungeon_Guides

 

 

:A: There is a [[Magic/Training]] guide that will show you how to do this. You can also use {{Skill|Alternative Magic}} to level without combat.

Q: Are staves worth making?

: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 {{Skill|Runecrafting}} level. 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.

:A: That is your [[Prayer|Prayer Points]]. Prayer Points are used to cast Prayers in Combat. You can train your Prayer skill only by using prayers in the combat.

 

 

:A: See the [[Prayer/Guide]] for more information.

Q: How do I get a new Slayer Task?

:A: Go to combat, and tap the {{Skill|Slayer}} icon below your equipped food. If you don't see it, unhide it by tapping the "Show/hide player container" button above your HP bar. Then, tap new task and select the difficulty.

Q: What should I first spend {{Icon|Slayer Coins}} on?

:A: Generally, you will want to unlock the {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} upgrade first to earn more coins easier. After that you may want to buy items that allow you to fight in new slayer areas, start buying slayer armour and the {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}.

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 Effect Negation]]. This stat comes from many sources, including slayer armour. 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.

:A: {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} have a 0.5% chance to drop every time a tree is cut. The chance and quantity of nest drops can be increased by various means, listed on the [[Bird Nest]] page.

:A: Get all of the interval reduction, bird nest drop rate, and bird nest quantity boosts you can from [[Woodcutting#Skill Boosts|Skill Boosts]]. You are trying to get your interval rate to the 0.25s minimum, while earning multiple birds nests per action. This can reduce the grind to about two days.

Q: Why do {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}} sell for so little GP? Shouldn't they sell for more than {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}}?

Q: How do I get the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}}?

 

:A: These items drop at an incredibly low droprate from any fishing action when you have >1% chance for a special item to drop. You will want to catch fish with a short catch time and high special chance. {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}} is currently the best special item chance for least catch time, although {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} are almost as quick and are much more useful as they can be buried for [[Prayer|Prayer Points]].

 

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: 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 do I always seem to get the wrong Ancient ring type?

:A: You have an equal chance to get the ancient ring of skilling or mastery. See [[Drop rates]] for more info on how this mechanic works.

Q: How do I unlock the Secret Area and Barbarian Fishing areas?

:A: To unlock the Secret area you need to randomly find the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}} while fishing and read it once. To enter the Barbarian fishing area you must randomly find the {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}} while fishing and wear them.

Q: Do I need to keep the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}}?

:A: Once the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}} has been read, the item no longer has any use and can be sold. Any further bottles found will also have no effect.

Q: Does Junk do anything?

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

Q: Is {{Skill|Firemaking}} worth doing?

:A: Yes. Increasing the {{Skill|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 {{Icon|Mastery}} on each log will give further global Mastery experience.

:You will also gain useful items, like [[Ash]], [[Charcoal]], [[Coal Ore]] and [[Diamond]].

Q: Can I passively cook while training other skills?

:A: {{UpgradeIcon|Cooking Upgrade 1}} which can be purchased from the [[Shop]] lets you automatically equip produced food. Check the toggle button at the top of the Cooking page.

:A: {{Skill|Cooking}} has many buffs to increase the amount of food you can produce. Try to decrease your interval, while increasing your preservation, doubling and perfect chance. Using passive cooking will create even more food. Pre-[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]], the most efficient cooking method for mid-endgame accounts is cooking chicken soup active, and whales and carrot cake passive, including gathering time.

 

:Fishing will always be faster than cooking, so you will have a lot of extra raw fish when levelling both.

:A: Only cooking regular items counts toward the Township unlock. If you uncheck "Enable Perfect Cooks" option in the game's Settings then you will no longer receive perfect cooks. You can also downgrade perfect cooked fish into their regular counterparts.

:A: The only way to obtain Burnt Cave Fish is to kill the {{MonsterIcon|Tentacle}} enemy located in the Sandy Shores area of the regular Combat tab.

Q: Why are my {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}}/{{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} not working?

:A: Higher level rocks take more time to respawn. You can reduce the time spent waiting for respawn by increasing the chance you deal no damage to a mining node. You can find details on the {{Skill|Mining}} page.

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

Q: Why is the health on my Gem Veins/Meteorite not increasing?

:A: Only mining {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion}} rocks has a chance to add health to the Gem vein. They have no natural regeneration. For {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Ore|Meteorites}}, performing actions in {{Skill|Astrology}} has a chance of adding Meteorite health. You can earn meteorite health even before you have the mining level required to mine it.

:A: Make sure you have the required combat levels to wear it. If the gear required over 99 smithing to make, it comes from the {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion}} and requires {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} to be completed before it may be equipped.

 

 

:A: You can gather coal in many ways besides mining it directly. Mining anything with the Mining Skillcape equipped will give an extra coal for each action. You can gain coal passively through the township trader. A quick way to earn a lot of coal is to use {{Skill|Cooking}} with the {{ItemIcon|Mole}}/{{ItemIcon|Pig}} {{Skill|Summoning}} [[Synergy]], faster cooks mean more Coal

 

 

:A: Superheat is another viable way to make bars that may or may not be more beneficial for you. Superheat gives you {{Skill|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: Why am I not getting any progress while offline?

 

 

Q: Is it possible to die while offline?

:A: Yes. If you died when {{Skill|Thieving}}, you will be notified when you load the character. To avoid this, make sure the NPC's max hit is below your [[Food#Auto_Eat|Auto Eat]] threshold and you have sufficient {{Icon|Food}}.

Q: Does [[Damage Reduction]] from armour work when {{Skill|Thieving}}?

:A: Yes. The damage taken when stunned is reduced by any [[Damage Reduction]] you currently have.

Q: Do the {{Icon|Protect Item|type=prayer}} and [[Damage Reduction]] {{Skill|Prayer|prayers}}/{{Skill|Herblore|potions}} work with {{Skill|Thieving}}?

:A: As of v1.1.1, yes, although this may change in future updates. {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV|Damage Reduction Potions}} and the prayers {{Icon|Protect Item|type=prayer}}, {{Icon|Safeguard|type=prayer}}, {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Holy Aegis|type=prayer}} work in {{Skill|Thieving}} without consuming any charges or prayer points!

:A: Check the [[Seeds]] page to see where you can find each seed. Your main seed sources are {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest}}, {{Skill|Thieving}}, and [[Combat]]. When you have mastered farming, you will get seeds from everything except Trees. For Tree seeds you will need to find other sources.

Q: Why are my plants disappearing before I can harvest them?

:A: Initially, plants have a base 50% survival rate. If they survive, then you can harvest them, but if they didn't, you get nothing. You can purchase {{ItemIcon|Compost}} and {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} from the shop to guarantee the survival of a plant. When you reach the 25% mastery checkpoint in farming, your crops will have a 100% chance of survival, but you will should continue to use {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}}.

Q: Should I ever use {{ItemIcon|Compost}} in farming?

:A: No, unless you have no other choice. You can use {{ItemIcon|Compost}} to purchase {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} from the shop which will increase the quantity of produce harvested as well as guarantee the crop. If you have reached the 25% mastery checkpoint in farming then carry on using {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} to benefit from increased yields.

Q: Should I use the harvest all (etc) buttons?

:A: Yes, when you can afford to do so. Initially you will find it cost prohibitive and instead you will be forced to farm manually.

:A: Mastery tokens have a chance to drop for each action, and farming has far fewer actions than other skills. Keep farming and you will get them in time.

:A: Yes. Some [[monsters]] drop arrows when killed as well as some NPCs in {{Skill|Thieving}}, so it's possible to level {{Skill|Ranged}} without {{Skill|Fletching}}.  

Q: Why can't I buy {{ItemIcon|Black Dragonhide}} from the {{Icon|Shop}}?

:A: {{ItemIcon|Black Dragonhide}} can only be looted from {{MonsterIcon|Black Dragon|Black Dragons}}.

Q: How do I get {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag|Basic Bags}}?

:A: You can only get {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag|Basic Bags}} from {{Skill|Thieving}}.

:A: Crafting [[Combination Runes]] provides much more XP than regular Runes do, and the 25% [[Mastery#The_Mastery_Pool|Mastery Pool]] bonus increases base XP for Runes to 250% of the regular value.

: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 'Auto Re-use Potions for this Skill' 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: When creating potions their tier is determined by the Mastery level of that potion. Once you have unlocked a potion tier you can upgrade 3 lower tier potions to 1 higher tier potion. The tiers are:

:* Tier 1: Mastery level 1.

:* Tier 2: Mastery level 20.

:* Tier 3: Mastery level 50.

:* Tier 4: Mastery level 90.

Q: How do I craft a potion of a lower tier for the {{Skill|Township}} task or Completion Log?

:A: For an Obstacle to give bonuses, every Obstacle prior has to be built. If you skip obstacle 7 then obstacles 8, 9, and 10 will not give you any benefits.

:For example, when {{Skill|Woodcutting}} you will find an {{ItemIcon|Ent}} mark. Then go to {{Skill|Summoning}, tablets/familiars, Ent. Tap the blue "Select Recipe" button to select a desired log type to use, and tap the green circle to buy some {{ItemIcon|Summoning Shard (Green)}}. Then you can start crafting Ent tablets. When you are Woodcutting, equip your Ent tablets and you will start using them and earning summoning xp as well as benefitting from the familiars' buffs!

:A: After finding the new Mark, you have to craft the corresponding Tablet once to be able to find more of that Mark.

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

:A: Your main source of summoning xp is spending tablets while training skills. You spend three tablets (two primary and one secondary) 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.

:A: Astrology was reworked in [[V1.1]] and no longer has random modifiers. Instead, now you spend stardust to permanently increase the effect of a star's modifiers.

 

 

:A: In the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]], you can find meteorites in astrology. This will add HP to your meteorite node in mining, even if you don't have the mining level to mine it yet.  

Q: What does the Devil/Owl summoning synergy do? Why do I get +4 gold stardust but then no longer receive it?

:A: The synergy text is auto generated from the code, and hasn't been manually updated to be more clear. You receive +4 quantity of stardust and no longer receive any gold stardust.

:A: Check out the {{Skill|Township}} and [[Township/Training]] pages.

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

: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: 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.

:A: Township unlocks new items and pets from the {{Icon|Shop}}, including experience boosting gear. Your town can generate a huge amount of {{GP}}[[GP]] and any Township resources gained can be [[Township#Trading Post|traded]] with the trader for a number of [[Consumables]] or resources such as logs, ores, or potions. The consumable items provide benefits to many other skills within the game, and cannot be obtained from elsewhere in the game.

Q: I've made some poor choices with the buildings I have constructed, can I restart?

: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: Is it worth doing any of the township tasks?

: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.

Q: How do I kill 42,069 golbins for the township task?

:A: Go to the {{ZoneIcon|Golbin Village}} and start killing {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}}. This {{PetIcon|Golden Golbin}} article has more information on how to complete this task. Also, Kills of the {{MonsterIcon|Ranged Golbin}} and the [[Golbin Raid]] mini game do not count towards this total.

:A: Without the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]], 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 the effect of their experience level past 120. After [[v0.15]], Mastery levels are hard capped at 99.

 

:With the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]], levels go to 120 with lots of new content!

:A: There is no limit that you can reach. The only limit to experience or number of items you can have is the limit in Javascript as <code>MAXIMUM_SAFE_INTEGER</code>. This is currently set at <math>2^{53-1} = 9,007,199,254,740,991</math>.

:A: {{Icon|Mastery}} is a secondary system of levels tied to individual items within a skill. Each item in a non-combat skill has a level associated with it. You earn mastery experience for an item by gathering/crafting it. You also earn mastery xp towards your mastery pool for the skill, which unlocks perks at certain checkpoints.

 

 

: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!

 

:A: Yes. These cam be used as soon as you acquire them. However, if your mastery threshold would exceed 100% then you will not be able to use them unless you either spend some of your mastery XP, or sell these tokens.

Q: How do I earn get more GP?

:A: This depends greatly on what skills and items you have, however you can check out the [[Money Making]] page for some ideas. Late game, the township can be used to provide a lot of {{GP}} passively.

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

:A: Some items are intended to be late game purchase. However, if you have the "buy" multiplier higher than 1, then it may be showing you the cost for purchasing more than one of that item. If lowering your Buy multiplier does not fix the issue, then that is the price.

Q: Can I buy mulitple gloves?

:A: Yes. You can buy them multiple times and all charges will stack into 1 glove of that type. For example, 4000 charges can be added to one pair of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}.

Q: How do I add an item to the skilling Quick Equip Menu?

:A: Select the item in your bank, click the Cog icon to open the Item Settings menu, then use the checkboxes in the Minibar Settings to set which skills will have the item you selected appear in their Quick Equip Menus

Q: I sold an item, how do I clear it from my Quick Equip Menu?

:A: The only in-game way is to get the item again and turn in off in the cog menu in the bank. You can use a console command to clear your menus using the method [https://www.reddit.com/r/MelvorIdle/comments/z853u2/i%20made%20a%20script%20for%20cleaning%20quick%20equip%20menus/?utm%20source=share&utm%20medium=web2x&context=3 here].

 

:A: You can receive these items very rarely while training your skills or in combat. Do not sell your only copy of them. For details look at the pages for {{ItemIcon|Signet Ring Half (a)}}, {{ItemIcon|Signet Ring Half (b)}}, {{ItemIcon|Circlet of Rhaelyx}}, and {{ItemIcon|Jewel of Rhaelyx}}

:A: {{ItemIcon|Gold Topaz Ring}} is an item which is given to the player in place of an {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} half, when the requirement of wearing a {{ItemIcon|Gold Topaz Ring}} is not met. See {{ItemIcon|Signet Ring Half (a)}} and {{ItemIcon|Signet Ring Half (b)}} for more details on how to find the {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}.

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

:A: You can purchase 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 Bar|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 Vase|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}}.

 

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.

Q: How do I change a Bank Tab's icon?

: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. Note that there is currently no way to revert to the default icon once you have manually set an icon.

: You can use this code to clear all Bank Tab icons:

:(For more information, see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MelvorIdle/comments/yo4pn0/is_there_a_way_to_reset_chosen_bank_tab_icons/ )

Q: I just bought a {{TotH}}Superior Skillcape, but it's not showing up in my Quick Equip menu.

:A: No {{Icon|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.

:A: No. If you have unlocked a [[pets|pet]] then the effect will be active forever, whether you want it to or not.

Q: How do I unlock a pet? I have reached the maximum skill level and still don't have it!

===Bugs, Glitches and Lag===

A: Before you do anything else, back up your save. Then disable your mods, restart your game and see if the bug persists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

===Other game modes===

Q: How do I play {{Icon|Adventure}} or {{Icon|Hardcore}} mode?

Q: My {{Icon|Hardcore}} character account was deleted!

Q: How do I recover my {{Icon|Hardcore}} account after it died?

:A: You cannot, it's called hardcore for a reason! You can revert back to a previous save, using a save link or exported save file. You can also load an old cloud save if you have "Back up to cloud automatically" turned off in the settings, otherwise the cloud save is automatically deleted.

Q: Why is my {{Icon|Adventure}} mode character stuck at X skill level?

:A: Noncombat skills in adventure mode are limited to your [[Combat Level]]. Increase your combat level to continue leveling up your skills.

Q: What skill should I buy next in {{Icon|Adventure}} mode? How do I earn enough gp?

===Free Demo and Full Version===

Q: What is the difference between the Free Demo and [[Full Version]]?

 

 

 

 

 

Q: If I buy the [[Full Version]] on X platform, can I play it on Y platform?

:A: Yes, except if you buy on mobile you are not able to play the steam version. See more details on the [[Full Version]] page.

Q: Do I need to purchase expansions separately?

:A: Yes, expansions are a separate purchase from the Full Version.

Q: Are there subscriptions or micro transactions?

:A: No, Melvor Idle only has the one-time [[Full Version]] unlock, and the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]].

Q: What is this expansion?

:A: [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is Melvor's first expansion. It raises the skill level from 99 to 120 and adds lots of new enemies, dungeons, and hundreds of new items. You can buy it on the steam store or as an in app purchase on the iOS or Android apps.

Q: If I buy the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] on X platform, will my account have the new content on Y platform?

:A: Yes, if you buy the expansion anywhere you will have access to it anywhere you could already play the game.

Q: Should I buy the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] now or wait?

:A: If you plan on buying the expansion eventually, there's no reason to wait until you reach a certain point. You will be able to train new items once you get past lvl99 in any skill. You will also earn more mastery xp per action and find meteorites in astrology.

:Note that when you purchase the expansion, your mastery pool percentage will drop as new items are added. This one-time drop is more detrimental the more mastery pools you have filled up.

Q: I already have virtual levels past lvl99, will they carry over when I buy the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]?

:A: You can choose whether you want to keep your levels, or if you want to reset them back to lvl99.

:In addition to providing access to the [[Full Version]], the Steam version provides [[Achievements|achievements]], trading cards, [https://discord.com/ Discord] rich presence, 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.

Q: If I buy the [[Full Version]] on X platform, can I play it on Y platform?

Q: If I buy the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] on X platform, will my account have the new content on Y platform?

:Note that some players have felt regret after using a mod to speed through grinds in the game. After all, this game is all about the grind journey. Players new to mods may want to stick with mods that only add quality of life features at first.
