Money Making: Difference between revisions

{{V|0.16.3}}

There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of GP gain.

For the game version 0.21, the methods below are still viable and have roughly the same power. That means that the most profitable method remains on top, but it could yield a different amount of money compared to what is written there.

Beginners are advised to start with [[#Fishing|Fishing]], as it only requires one skill to level, yields viable output rates and provides the chance to get the [[Ancient Ring of Mastery]] and the [[Ancient Ring of Skills]], which will be very helpful on the long run.

== Fletching Dragon Javelins with Alt Magic (Max ~9500k/hr) ==

{{OldStrategy|0.18.2}}

=== Requirements ===

* {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|90}}

* {{SkillReq|Mining|95}}, 270 Mining mastery levels in total

* {{SkillReq|Smithing|93}}

* {{SkillReq|Fletching|92}}

* {{SkillReq|Runecrafting|80}}

* {{SkillReq|Magic|95}}

** {{MasteryReq|Redwood Logs|99}}

** {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}}

** {{SkillReq|Mining|99}}, {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}

** {{UpgradeIcon|Art of Control}}

** {{ItemIcon|Crown of Rhaelyx}} affects all skills above except {{Skill|Alternative Magic}}

** Cut {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} while gathering {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}} with {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion IV}} to maxmize profit while {{Skill|Woodcutting}}

=== Method ===

# Mine {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} and {{ItemIcon|Runite Ore}} in a 1:2 ratio. Ideally {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are equipped and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV|Perfect Swing Potions}} are active while mining

# Mine {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} while the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are equipped. Potions do not need to be active here due to the very low respawn time of {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}

# Cut {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}}. Simultaneously cutting {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} with {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion IV}} active will drop a significant amount of {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} which can later be sold, greatly increasing the GP rate

# Fletch {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}} while the {{ItemIcon|Fletching Skillcape}} is equipped and {{ItemIcon|Skilled Fletching Potion IV}} is active. Using {{ItemIcon|Charge Stone of Rhaelyx|Charge Stones}} while the {{ItemIcon|Crown of Rhaelyx}} is equipped during this step provides a significant increase to the GP rate

{{OldStrategy|0.14}}

=== Improves GP Rate ===

* Making [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] more than doubles their value. This requires:

** Level 99 [[Herblore]]

** Level 80 [[Farming]]

* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.

** Level 50 [[Farming]]

=== Calculating the GP Rate ===

The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

{{Main|Reference=Math:Dragon_Platebodies}}

== Fishing ==

{{OldStrategy|0.18.2}}

=== Raw Whales (Max {{GP|1746}}k/hr) ===

* {{SkillReq|Fishing|95}}

! Description

| {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Fishing Rod}} || The strongest [[Fishing#Fishing Rods|Fishing Rod]], reduces fishing catch time by 40%.

| {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} || Reduces fishing catch time by 15%. (Stacks multiplicatively with Fishing Rod bonus)

| {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} || Doubles the number of fish caught.

| {{ItemIcon|Aorpheats Signet Ring}} || Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 10%.

| {{PetIcon|Pudding Duckie}} || Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 5%.

| {{MasteryReq|Raw Whale|99}} || Doubles the number of fish caught.

| [[Fishing#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|95% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint]] || Provides a 25% chance to receive an additional random special item whenever special items are received.

| {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion IV}} || Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 12%. (requires {{SkillReq|Herblore|40}})

NOTE: The Fishing Skillcape and Level 99 Mastery bonuses will stack, causing at least four fish to be caught each time. The Signet Ring and pet bonuses will provide a 15% chance of catching eight fish.

==== Expected Outputs Per Hour ====

* {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale|qty=2666}}, worth {{GP|750}} each.

==== Method ====

Equip [[Fishing]] gear and fish for [[Raw Whale|Whales]]. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. 65 Whale Mastery or 25% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint are the most important targets, either of which will remove the junk catch chance. [[Fishing]] is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.

=== Alternative Fish ===

Players who do not yet have level 95 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

== Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr) ==

{{OldStrategy|0.14}}

* Level 99 [[Woodcutting]]

* Level 99 [[Fletching]]

* [[Dragon Axe]] Upgrade

* [[Multi-Tree]] Upgrade

* [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]

* [[Fletching Skillcape]]

* (Optional) [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]

* (Optional) [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]]

By utilizing the output doubling of the [[Fletching Skillcape]], the value of [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] and [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]. To calculate the maximum [[GP]] per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:

# Cut [[Yew Logs|yew logs]] and [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] simultaneously while wearing the [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]. The yew logs should be sold.

# Purchase [[Bowstring|bowstrings]] from the [[Shop]] and fletch the unstrung bows into [[Magic Longbow]].

Without using [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] and [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.

* 500k gp to purchase {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}

* The {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} provides additional coal to sell

* Higher tier [[Shop#Pickaxes|Pickaxes]] increase the rate that ore is mined

* The {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}} god upgrade decreases the mining interval by 20%

* Higher {{Icon|Mastery}} levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn

* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] ({{SkillReq|Herblore|53}}) can increase idle GP rates by decreasing the amount of time spent waiting for ores to respawn

* Mining and selling {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate when using [[Perfect Swing Potion III]] and below. When using {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate.

This method relies on {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}). The average value of a [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] is {{GP|381.25}}, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only {{GP|250}}. Thus {{GP|131.25}} of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the {{Skill|Smithing}} skill.

With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}}, {{MasteryReq|Dragonite Ore|99}}, and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}s, and the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}, an average of 2,423 {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, the gems from the gloves, and the coal, {{GP|279}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|728960}} profit per hour.

With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} and {{MasteryReq|Adamantite Ore|50}}, an average of 2,117 {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, and the gems from the gloves, {{GP|219}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|486114}} profit per hour.

==Woodcutting==

{{OldStrategy|0.18.2}}

==== Improves GP Rate ====

* Higher tier [[Shop#Axes|axes]] increase the rate that trees are chopped

* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Bird Nest Potions]] increase the rate at which [[Bird Nest|bird nests]] are gained

* [[Clue Chasers Insignia]] can further increase the rate of [[Bird Nest|bird nests]]

* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] grants an additional 10% chance to double logs cut.

* The [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade allows the player to also cut a second log for additional profit

* The [[Master of Nature]] god upgrade increases the GP rate by 25%.

* The [[Woodcutting Skillcape]] doubles the rate that trees are chopped

* Higher levels of log [[Mastery]] increase the chance to receive double the amount of logs

=== Chopping Magic and Yew Logs (Max {{GP|1006}}k/hr) ===

* {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|75}}

Simply cut down [[Magic Logs]] and your chosen secondary log (if the [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and bird nests for profit.

==== Expected Resources Per Hour ====

The maximum rates assume Dragon Axe, Multi-Tree, Signet, Clue Chaser's Insignia, Beavis, Master of Nature, Woodcutting Skillcape, 95% Woodcutting Mastery Pool Checkpoint and 99 log mastery.

== Combat ==

Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game. Due to the complexity of combat, exact rates are difficult to determine, but some of the highest GP rate targets are as follows: {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}, {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}}, {{MonsterIcon|Black Dragon|Black Dragons}}.

(Infernal Stronghold got nerfed in Patch v0.19: Malcs, the Leader of Dragons now drops 100K - 150K GP on death, down from 150K - 225K GP. Resulting in 125,000 less gp/clear or around 18% reduced gp/hr)

The reason for this is that it drops a lot of pure gp, which gets doubled with the {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}.

The 5% and 10% chance for double loot from the {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} dosent work on the cape.

Meaning clearing {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}} will grant you 250,000+400,000+1,500gp = 651,500gp/clear.

I will list the loadouts with gear, stats, kills/hr and gp/hr. All of the sets will have {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} in ring slot, and no [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]] unless mentioned. And no {{Skill|Prayer}} or {{Skill|Herblore|Potions}}.

==== Magic (Max ~12652k/hr)====

85 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Wind Surge (2,610 runes/hr), 9,5 kills/hr = 6,189,250 gp/hr

85 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Slicing Winds (15,010 runes/hr), 12,93 kills/hr = 8,423,895 gp/hr

Full {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia God Armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Magic}}, {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Air Imbued Wand}}, {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}},

99 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Gust (16,900 runes/hr), 15 kills/hr = 9,772,500 gp/hr

Full {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia God Armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Magic}}, {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}}, {{ItemIcon|Warlock Ring}} ({{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring|Signet}} in [[Combat Passive Slot|Passive slot]]),

99 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Water Surge (10,380 runes/hr), 19,42 kills/hr = 12,652,130 gp/hr

Remember to take the crafting of runes into account. Looking at the Max Magic right above 10,380 runes at maxed mining and runecrafting takes around 20min to get, 5min mining essence and 15min runecrafting. Putting it down to a efficient 9,5mil gp/hr
