Revision as of 18:30, 23 December 2021

There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of GP gain.

On the right from each method, there is information for which version of the game this method was checked. The results may vary in the most recent patch.

For the game version 1.0, the methods below are still viable and have roughly the same power. That means that the most profitable method remains on top, but it could yield a different amount of money compared to what is written there.

Beginners are advised to start with Fishing because it doesn't require any additional skills to level, gives viable GP yields, and is the only source of Ancient Ring of Mastery and Ancient Ring of Skills that are very helpful in the long run.

Method

Equip Fishing gear and fish for Magic Fish. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. Fishing is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.

Alternative Fish

Players who do not yet have level 80 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

Mining with Gem Gloves (Max 729k/hr Idle)

Template:OldStrategy

Requirements

Improves GP Rate

  • The Mining Skillcape provides additional coal to sell
  • Higher tier Pickaxes increase the rate that ore is mined
  • The
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Master of Nature     god upgrade decreases the mining interval by 20%
  • Higher
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery     levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn
  • Perfect Swing Potions (
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 53    ) can increase idle GP rates by decreasing the amount of time spent waiting for ores to respawn
  • Mining and selling Adamantite Ore provides the highest GP rate when using Perfect Swing Potion III and below. When using Perfect Swing Potion IV, Dragonite Ore provides the highest GP rate.
  • Actively switching to the highest tier ore yields higher GP rates

Method

This method relies on Gem Gloves increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding Rune Essence). The average value of a Gem is 381.25GP, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only 250GP. Thus 131.25GP of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the

, and Perfect Swing Potion IVs, and the Mining Skillcape, an average of 2,423 Dragonite Ore mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, the gems from the gloves, and the coal, 279GP profit is earned per action on average, for a total of 728,960GP profit per hour. With the

Improves GP Rate

Method

  1. Mine Dragonite Ore and Runite Ore in a 1:2 ratio, ideally with Mining Skillcape and Mining Gloves equipped, and Perfect Swing Potion active.
  2. Mine Rune Essence while Mining Skillcape and Mining Gloves are equipped. No need for the potion because Rune Essence respawns fast.
  3. Cut Redwood Logs. You can enable Bird Nest Potion IV to sell the Bird Nests afterwards.
  4. Runecraft Fire Runes, Nature Runes, and Spirit Runes in a 7:2:3 ratio.
  5. Smelt Dragonite Bars using
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Superheat IV     while Magic Skillcape and Mystic Earth Staff are equipped (avoids the need for any Earth Runes).
  6. Smith Dragon Javelin Heads. For a better GP rate, equip Crown of Rhaelyx and use Charge Stones.
  7. Fletch Dragon Javelins while the Fletching Skillcape is equipped and Skilled Fletching Potion IV is active. Using Charge Stones while the Crown of Rhaelyx is equipped during this step provides a significant increase to the GP rate.

Smithing Dragon Platebodies (Max 2117k/hr)

Template:OldStrategy

Requirements

Improves GP Rate

Method

  1. Gather Dragonite Ore, Runite Ore and Coal Ore in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the Mining Skillcape. Depending on Mastery Levels and whether or not Diamond Luck Potions are being made, either Gem Gloves or Mining Gloves should be worn.
  2. Make Dragonite Bars while wearing the Smithing Skillcape.
  3. Make Dragon Platebodies
  4. Make the diamonds into Diamond Luck Potions with the Herblore Skillcape if possible.
  5. Sell the Gems, Diamond Luck Potions and Dragon Platebodies for profit

GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery

The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make Perfect Swing Potions has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the Barrentoe Herbs for creating Diamond Luck Potions is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

Calculating the GP Rate

The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

Main article: Math:Dragon_Platebodies

Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr)

Template:OldStrategy

Requirements

Method

By utilizing the output doubling of the Fletching Skillcape, the value of magic logs can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using Skilled Fletching Potion IV and Aorpheats Signet Ring. To calculate the maximum GP per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:

  1. Cut yew logs and magic logs simultaneously while wearing the Woodcutting Skillcape. The yew logs should be sold.
  2. Fletch the magic logs into Magic Longbow (u) while wearing the Fletching Skillcape.
  3. Purchase bowstrings from the Shop and fletch the unstrung bows into Magic Longbow.
  4. Sell the longbows for profit.

Without using Aorpheats Signet Ring and Skilled Fletching Potion IV profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.

Woodcutting

Chopping Magic and Yew Logs (Max 1,243GPk/hr)

Requirements

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 75

Method

Simply cut down Magic Logs and your chosen secondary log (if the Multi-Tree upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and Bird Nest for profit.

Expected Resources Per Hour

The maximum rates assume Dragon Axe, Multi-Tree, Aorpheat's Signet Ring, Clue Chaser's Insignia, Beavis, Master of Nature, Woodcutting Skillcape, 95% Woodcutting Mastery Pool Checkpoint and 99 log mastery. Bird Nests are only provided once per action.

Chopping Logs With Bird Nests Potions (Max 3,304GPk/hr)

Requirements

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 10
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 1

Please note: Although the requirements seem low, using Bird Nest Potion IV and minimum action time (Dragon Axe, Woodcutting Skillcape and Master of Nature god upgrade) are advised or else the GP rate drops significantly.

Method

Cut down Normal Logs and your chosen secondary log (if the Multi-Tree upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and Bird Nest for profit. A portion of the nests can be opened for Potato Seeds to make more potions.

With Bird Nest Potion II and below, players should cut Normal Logs and Magic Logs for maximum profit.

Expected Resources Per Hour

The maximum rates assume all improvements to GP rates have been obtained and that the player already has the Bird Nest Potion IV made.

Combat

Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game.

Magic

is the most profitable, but it can differ based on the gear and skills in your possession. In general, you need a best-in-slot setup of Melee or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

and have 99 in relevant combat skills to be on par with level 85 Magic in God Armor. The exact rates are difficult to determine, but the best targets are as follows:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Infernal Stronghold

, Master Farmers, Black Dragons.

The two items that make this method good are Chapeau Noir and Aorpheat's Signet Ring.

Calculating the specific GP/hr depends on your stats and gear. The Combat Simulator in Scripting and Extensions can help you to calculate the gains for your build.

One of the most profitable dungeons is the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Infernal Stronghold

because it drops a lot of pure GP that gets doubled with the Aorpheat's Signet Ring. The pure GP gain with the ring is 250,000 per clear.

It also drops the Infernal Cape and the Infernal Core that will net you 402,400 additional GP per clear if sold with Item Alchemy III.

For one clear

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Infernal Stronghold

will yield a total of 250,000 + 402,400 = 652,400 GP per clear. Some of the setups are listed below, but it is advised to use The Combat Simulator to check your build. By default, all of the listed setups have Aorpheat's Signet Ring in the ring slot with no passive slot,
