Progression in Melvor Idle primarily revolves around combat; while there is of course progression in all of the non-combat skills, that progression all serves to make you better at combat. This guide will break the game into multiple sections and try to give advice for each. The sections this guide will look into, and roughly how long they will take are as follows:

* The Early-Early Game:

* The Early Game:

- This section revolves around finishing your armor sets, maxing out your stats, and completing long term achievements like the God Dungeons. This section can take up to several months, and is usually marked by completion of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}.  

* The Late Game:

* The Late-Late Game:

The guide will start with an overview on how combat works, the stats, and what items affect them. After that, it describes in detail the leveling up to the first challenging dungeon of the game, the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}. It will cover the God Dungeons and conclude with guidance for late game content. Remember that the majority of things mentioned here are ''recommendations'' and are not always required or the most optimal, if you don't want to do something, you probably don't have to.

* {{Skill|Smithing}} - {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} armor and weapons.

* {{Skill|Fletching}} - {{Skill|Ranged}} ammunition and weapons.

* {{Skill|Runecrafting}} - {{Skill|Magic}} armor and weapons.

* {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}} - The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Ash}}

====Defence/Evasion Rating====

These are included on all pieces of armor, and are heavily connected to the [[Combat Triangle]]. The higher the number, the better. Evasion only helps to kill enemies faster if they can stun, slow, or sleep, as the player will evade their disabling attacks more often.

===Class-related Stats===

* {{Skill|Strength}} bonus: One of the factors that determines max hit.

====Magic Stats====

{{Skill|Magic}} armor and weapons focus on 2 stats:

Additionally, {{Skill|Magic}} also benefits from Rune Preservation Chance and Rune Cost Reduction. This can be found on multiple items and buffs, including:

* This armor needs to be upgraded, getting the raw D-hide necessary to fully upgrade this armor will likely take longer than getting each piece of armor

* {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Shield}} has a second upgrade, the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}}, which is best in slot for Ranged for a long time.

* This armor, like {{Skill|Smithing}} armor needs to be upgraded twice.

* {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}} has a fourth upgrade, the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, which is best in slot for Melee for a long time. Upgrading this shield requires 7050 {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones}}.

===Dungeon Guides===

====Infernal Stronghold====

The primary reason to do this dungeon is the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} which grants 4% Damage Reduction and works well for each combat style. The {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|Infernal Cores}} dropped here can be used to upgrade and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} into an {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}, a critical and powerful one-handed Melee weapon.

====Air God Dungeon====

This dungeon drops {{Skill|Ranged}} armor and equipment, and is usually completed with {{Skill|Attack|Melee}}.

====Water God Dungeon====

This dungeon drops {{Skill|Magic}} armor and equipment, and is usually completed with {{Skill|Ranged}}.

====Earth God Dungeon====

This dungeon drops {{Skill|Melee}} tank oriented armor and equipment, and is usually completed with {{Skill|Magic}}.

====Fire God Dungeon====

This dungeon drops {{Skill|Melee}} dps oriented armor and equipment, and is usually completed with {{Skill|Ranged}} or sometimes {{Skill|Magic}}.
