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.
The main goal of a hardcore is not dying. The only real way to get more food than you lose when you are limited to only combat is attacking 
Plant. They dont fight back much and drop a 
Potatoes every time you kill it.
The main way you are gonna get food will come from the shop.
In the shop you can buy a Basic Resupply.
To buy that you need slayer points, which you can get by killing mobs on your slayertask. You can just generate a new Easy task for free until you get plants. Therefore getting both potatoes and slayer points.
1 Basic Resupply is equivalent to 2200 potatoes, and takes much less time to get. Along with some other stuff.
The Basic Resupply is gonna be your main food source.
For the first few levels, personally, I recommend using Block, to level up
. 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
stat, for a higher chance to hit enemies. Once I get all melee
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
. 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
, 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
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
. 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.
Now, hit up 
Turkul Riders and get yourself a 
Rune Boots. Don't forget to trim it.
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. Now, it's time for the dreaded 
Rune Knight. Make sure you prepared tons of taters (Or even better, Trout) because this is going to be a long grind.
End-game
