V0.18: Difference between revisions

Slayer has been reworked with a new progression route, and increased variety of content and gear.

Slayer is a skill that has the ability to introduced players into new mechanics and challenges that other skills cannot do. The current system of Slayer did not really provide the variety we were after, and we knew we had to change it.

These are now broken down into 5 "Masters" that can be chosen when selecting a new task. These are categorised based on Enemy Combat Level.

They also cost Slayer Coins to select a new Task or when skipping your current task (But are free when completing a task and being assigned a new Task from the same Master automatically).

Easy - CB Level 1 - 49 - Free (Unlocked at Slayer Level 1)

 

Normal - CB Level 50 - 99 - Costs 2K Slayer Coins (Unlocked at Slayer Level 25)

 

Hard - CB Level 100 - 199 - Costs 5K Slayer Coins (Unlocked at Slayer Level 50)

 

Elite - CB Level 200 - 374 - Costs 15K Slayer Coins (Unlocked at Slayer Level 75)

 

Master - CB Level 375+ - Costs 25K Slayer Coins (Unlocked at Slayer Level 85)

Slayer Tasks can be extended once at a cost of Slayer Coins by clicking the Extend Slayer Task option in the Slayer Task Panel.

There are 5 new Slayer Areas to tackle, all with brand new monsters and challenges. These Slayer Areas also have Area Effects that apply a debuff to you when fighting Enemies in it.

 

Runic Ruins, Arid Plains, Shrouded Badlands, Perilous Peaks, Dark Waters

A new mid-game dungeon with 7 Monsters. Rewards the new Miolite Armour and Miolite Sceptre.

Miolite Armour is a Hybrid Melee / Magic Armour set. Very similar to Ice Armour which is a Hybrid Melee / Ranged Armour set.

The Slayer Gear in the shop that you can purchase has changed in many ways, which includes the brand new Master Tier of Slayer Gear.

You now able to acquire Master Tier Slayer Gear, which is much better than the Elite Tier.

There's a bunch of new stuff for you to purchase in the Slayer Shop.

The Slayer Cape has been updated to fit in nicely with all the above changes!

This update includes Part 2 of the Storyline revolving around the Gods, as well as a brand new dungeon for Players to face.

==== The Story so far ====

For those of you who don't know - There is an storyline in Melvor Idle. The first of this was introduced in Alpha v0.15 with the God Dungeons.

This is the brand new Dungeon, and the first to be classed as Insane difficulty. Upon defeating the Fire God Dungeon, you will be provided with Part 2 of the storyline and will also unlock access to this Dungeon.

You are required to fight through various, random enemies from the game until you reach the final Boss.

The Final Boss is a 3 Phase battle which will test your preparation and skills in each Combat Style (Melee, Ranged or Magic). Be sure to pay attention to the Enemy Passives, as it will tell you which Combat Style you must use.

* Most Enemies in this dungeon are Afflicted. Afflicted Enemies gain +20% Flat Damage Reduction

* Upon being successfully hit by an Enemy, you gain a stack of Affliction. Each stack reduces your Maximuim Hitpoints by 1% of your original Max HP. This resets after defeating the Enemy (Multi-hit Special Attacks are classed as ONE attack). Affliction is capped at 50 stacks.

* The first 20 Monsters in this dungeon are randomised. Any Monster in the game, including those in Dungeons, can be selected if their Combat Level is between 165 & 677 inclusive. Monsters found in Dark Waters Slayer Area cannot be selected.

* You are required to use a specific Attack Style (Melee, Ranged, Magic) for each Phase of the final boss. Pay attention the the Passives to know which style to use.

* Item - New Dawn (It's a book, have a read)

* Grant Access to the Dark Waters Slayer Area.

* Unlocks the new Combat Passive Slot, one for each equipment set. This is a new slot where you can equip most Combat Items with passives and gain their benefit during the fight.

* You cannot equip Weapons, Skillcapes (Including Max & Completion), Skilling Items or items that are already equipped in the same set to this slot. Some other items cannot be equipped as well.

* You only gain the item's Passive, not the item's Standard stats (This includes flat Damage Reduction the item contains).

The 3rd new Dungeon added to the game is the heavily requested "Infernal Stronghold". This is an upgraded, more deadly version of the Volcanic Cave.

Completing this Dungeon will reward you with the Infernal Cape as well as an Infernal Core. This Core can be used alongside your Dragon & Ancient Claws to upgrade them into the Infernal Claw.

This Dungeon requires 100 Completions of the Volcanic Cave to enter.

The Mastery Pool buttons are now colour coded when spending Mastery Pool XP!

 

 

Red means you cannot afford it.
