Starting out
Starting out, it's quite possible you will die many times. Either because of bad luck, or because you forgot to pay attention to the game. Before you do anything, get a stack of potatoes by punching plants.
For the first few levels, personally, I recommend using Block, to level up Defence. Leveling defence up improves your natural evasion ratings, effectively reducing all enemies' hit chance. I don't enjoy spam-clicking potatoes 300 times a minute. After reaching defence level 15 or so, I will start leveling my
Attack stat, for a higher chance to hit enemies.
Once I get all melee Combat levels up to level 10, at least, I will try to get my first gear.
Gaining gear
Baby clothes
Bronze Battleaxe and
Bronze Shield are both dropped from
Golbin at
Golbin Village. With these, I will go back to grind more potatoes, until I get bored, and believe I am strong enough to get myself some steel gear from the Steel Knight. A quick note: Any weapon is better than your fists, simply because of the 4s cooldown between attacks with your fists.
Alternatively, you might get a Bronze Dagger and potentially an
Iron Dagger from the
Goo Monster, if you're feeling brave.
You will be able to push yourself through the first three knights ( Steel Knight,
Black Knight,
Mithril Knight) quite decently, getting Boots, Platelegs, Platebodies, Helmets, Shields, Swords, and Scimitars. Furthermore, the Black Knight will drop you a
Black Dagger, but you can ignore the black knight entirely.
If you're having a hard time getting the first shirt and leggings, you can take a pitstop by the Zombie Hand for the
Iron Platelegs, and just go for the
Zombie for
Steel Platebody. It's much easier to get the shirt from the zombie than from the knight.
Some better gear
After getting a full set of Mithril Helmet,
Mithril Platebody,
Mithril Platelegs,
Mithril Boots, and possibly a
Mithril Sword or
Mithril Scimitar... I will do what I call a Pro Gamer Move, and kill a few
Purple Goo Monsters until they give me an
Adamant Dagger. The benefit of wielding a dagger over a sword is that you will save yourself 0.2s between attacks, allowing you to hoard up even MORE POTATOES.
Also, after getting some Mithril gear, you should try killing an Ice Monster to get an
Ice Sword, since the drop rate is really high, and it's pretty much on par with the
Rune Sword.
At this point you should already have figured out you would benefit from the extra +7% Combat XP from the Gold Emerald Ring, and the
Amulet of Strength dropped at
Mummy. The
Gold Topaz Ring is kinda meh, for now, since we won't have access to
Aorpheat's Signet Ring anyway.
After having some decent clothes, a necklace, ring, and weapon... it's time for our next step.
Gaining gold
Okay, so you're sick of being a manual autoclicker, pressing Loot All, equipping potatoes, and munching potatoes for 1001 nights in a row. Okay, so power up an Arduino, connect a real life potato to fuel it with energy, and turn it into a potato powered autoclicker instead. Do this until you have enough potatoes to get a million gold, and can buy Auto Eat I for 1 000 000 Gold Coins.
Just kidding.
Kill Cows, loot
Leather, and get free
Bones for
Prayer, experience, and some pennies. Upgrading
Leather to
Green Dragonhide increases the profit for each one. Do this until you can afford auto-eat. In my experience, this is the most efficient way to get gold at this stage.
While the efficiency of Auto Eat I might not be the best, you will save yourself a lot manual labour, and can finally get yourself a shower, by consuming your hard-earned potatoes.
AE2 and AE3
While this can (and probably should) wait until later, it's nice to know that in order to farm for Auto Eat 2 and Auto Eat III, one should do so at Master Farmer, mainly by collecting
Oak Tree Seeds. The exact order of priority is the following, which can vary on your bank capacity:
Oak Tree Seeds >
Willow Tree Seeds >
Maple Tree Seeds >
Yew Tree Seeds >
Magic Tree Seeds >
Compost >
Sweetcorn Seeds >
Tomato Seeds >
Strawberry Seeds.
This takes drop chance, rates, and price into account.
Post-AutoEat
Okay, so you've seen the doctor, and they cured your Arthritis, and you can finally return to play Melvor Idle (which wasn't idle until now).
Now, you should do some farming up to combat levels Combat 50, or so. At this point, you should consider getting the gear from the
Adamant Knight, its gear with
Silver Bar and
Gold Bar "quite easily" farmed at
Statue. The drop chance for gold is slightly higher at
Purple Goo Monster. It's worth noting that it's possible to skip directly to Adamant gear without having a full Mithril set, but do this at your own risk.
You should be ready now to get yourself an Amulet of Looting from the
Spider Chest at
Spider Forest. While it can vary a bit on your gear, you should have over a grand of
Taters in your stock, since it will cost you around 500 potatoes per dungeon run.
Note: Some people claim you can rush the Amulet of Looting before getting Auto Eat.
Post-Amulet of Looting
Okay, so you finally got yourself an Amulet of Looting, and now you can sleep comfortable having your own automated Taterfarm.
The next step is to hit up the Turkul Giant and get a
Rune Scimitar or even better, the
Dragon Scimitar.They both have decent droprate and can last you for a long while.
