V1.2.2

From Melvor Idle

Game Update - v1.2.2 (15th November 2023)

Preface

If you have already obtained 100% completion in Atlas of Discovery, then this update will remove that status as you will be required to obtain the new content to reach completion.

If you currently have the Cape of Completion (Atlas of Discovery) equipped, then this will be removed automatically when loading into the update.

If you die upon loading into the update due to an item being automatically unequipped, you will not lose any items on death.

Barrier Content Balancing

General

  • Early-Mid game Monsters no longer have Barrier Regeneration
  • Every time a Monster regenerates Barrier, they receive a stacking debuff which applies a 5% slow, and also reduces their Accuracy and Evasion by 10%. One stack is applied per regeneration, up to a maximum of 4 stacks.
  • Monsters with Barrier now drop Barrier Dust on death (like bones). The amount of Barrier Dust dropped scales with the Monster’s maximum Barrier value and can also be doubled.
  • Monsters with Barrier Regeneration will now display it as a Passive.

Monster Drops

Dungeon Chests

  • Treacherous Chest now drops up to 10 siphoning barrier gems and up to 250 imbued dragonite bars.

  • Ritual Chest can now drops up to 3 barrier exalted shards.

Buffed Summoning XP from Barrier

  • Summoning XP received per damage to Barrier is increased from 0.45 -> 0.67 per damage dealt.

Tortoise & Summoning Synergies

  • Tortoise: Increased Summon Familiar damage added as extra damage to Barrier to 75%, up from 50%.
  • Tortoise + Cyclops: Now provides +20% Summoning Familiar damage added as extra damage to Barrier. The old bonus did nothing as Barrier Monsters cannot be a Slayer Task.
  • Tortoise + Dragon: Increased chance to apply Barrier Burn to 20%, up from 10%.

  • Bronze: 10 -> 15

  • Any item from Archaeology that has no use outside of selling will be classed as a “Generic Artefact” which will be donated with a single click.
  • This includes Map items for Dig Sites, as you don't need to keep them after locating them ( Cartography adds a permanent icon to your Map).
  • Locked items don’t get donated.
