Introduction
This guide is written for characters playing the Standard game mode. If playing Hardcore or
Adventure modes, preparation for certain events is different, especially for the
Fire God Dungeon due to the differences in the Combat Triangle. This guide will assume there are no self-imposed restrictions put upon the account, if you choose to restrict your character in some way, you have to figure out how to get around it.
Progression in Melvor Idle primarily revolves around combat; while there is of course progression in all of the non-combat skills, that progression all serves to make you better at combat. This guide will break the game into multiple sections and try to give advice for each. The sections this guide will look into, and roughly how long they will take are as follows:
- The Early-Early Game:
- This is when the player is using very low level gear, has not purchased or obtained vital upgrades like
Auto Eat or the
Amulet of Looting and may require active (or more active) play to get through safely and efficiently. Can take a few days up to about a week.
- This is when the player is using very low level gear, has not purchased or obtained vital upgrades like
- The Early Game:
- Where most of the game opens up and when combat gets exciting. The player has obtained reasonable gear, is able to fight the majority of monsters in Combat Areas and the first few Slayer Areas comfortably, and is starting to prepare to get more specialized gear from combat to progress. This section can take anywhere up to about a month or two, and is marked by the completion of
Volcanic Cave.
- Where most of the game opens up and when combat gets exciting. The player has obtained reasonable gear, is able to fight the majority of monsters in Combat Areas and the first few Slayer Areas comfortably, and is starting to prepare to get more specialized gear from combat to progress. This section can take anywhere up to about a month or two, and is marked by the completion of
- The Mid Game:
- This section revolves around finishing your armor sets, maxing out your stats, and completing long term achievements like the God Dungeons. This section can take up to several months, and is usually marked by completion of
Into the Mist.
- This section revolves around finishing your armor sets, maxing out your stats, and completing long term achievements like the God Dungeons. This section can take up to several months, and is usually marked by completion of
- The Late Game:
- This is when the player is working on upgrading their weapons in the
Dark Waters Area, upgrading their armor in the
Unhallowed Wasteland Area, and fully preparing to defeat the
Impending Darkness Event. This step contains long grinds, but if enough preparation has already been done, it should only take a few weeks at most.
- This is when the player is working on upgrading their weapons in the
- The Late-Late Game:
- Here the player finishes any achievements that haven't been mopped up yet, with the goal of filling the completion log with anything that hasn't been worth the time. This step's length is variable, as it depends on how much has already been completed, and how optimal/lucky the player is finishing up. Prepare to spend multiple days hunting for an item you'll never actually use!
The guide will start with an overview on how combat works, the stats, and what items affect them. After that, it describes in detail the leveling up to the first challenging dungeon of the game, the Volcanic Cave. It will cover the God Dungeons and conclude with guidance for late game content. Remember that the majority of things mentioned here are recommendations and are not always required or the most optimal, if you don't want to do something, you probably don't have to.
Using Non-Combat to improve at Combat
There are several non-combat skills that improve various parts of the combat experience:
Agility - Many of the obstacles provide important combat bonuses.
Herblore -
Diamond Luck Potions are among the highest DPS boosts in the game.
Thieving - There are a multitude of useful item drops from several NPCs, including
Chapeau Noir,
Knight's Defender, and others.
Astrology - "Hidden Levels" provide accuracy and damage bonuses, as well as other powerful and important passive benefits.
Summoning - Tablets provide boosts to combat effectiveness and deal damage on their own. The
Dragon burn effect is particularly great against high hp enemies.
Cooking - Cook food to eat so you don't die!
Farming - Farm food to eat so you don't die! Farming is particularly useful because it does not require you to actively spend time on it, you can farm food 'while doing combat' for example.
Other skills helpful for smooth progression include:
Smithing -
Melee armor and weapons.
Fletching -
Ranged ammunition and weapons.
Crafting - Jewelry with unique effects and
Ranged armor.
Runecrafting -
Magic armor and weapons.
Level 99 - The
Firemaking Skillcape and
Ash
Township - The Trader can be used to exchange goods for food and consumable items that make combat easier.
Melvor Idle is not competitive, so it is recommended to set goals that you personally want and work towards them. The game will take a very long time to complete, so anything you can do to make it more fun for YOU is hugely recommended; using a weapon that you personally think is cool or useful, or not using an item because the grind isn't fun is perfectly acceptable and makes the game more interesting!
Gear Stats
All gear has certain stats that link it to one of the three combat styles: Melee,
Ranged, or
Magic. Gear that is more difficult to obtain is usually better. Closer to endgame, the choices become more situational. For stat breakdowns and math, use the Combat Simulator or read the
Combat page.
Attack Interval
Attack Speed is determined primarily by the default Attack Interval on weapons and affects how long it takes between attacks. It is given as seconds per attack, so lower is better. Some things that affect attack speed are:
Elder Crown - Drop from
Elder Vampire.
Sand Treaders - Drop from
Turkul Riders.
Surge I /
Surge II /
Surge III - Spells.
Otto - Pet from
Dark Waters.
Knight's Defender -
Thieving from
Knight, Melee only.
Ring of Barrage -
Level 90 ring.
Guardian Amulet and
Spiked Shell Ring - Negatively impacts attack speed.
- Guardian Amulet - Drops from
Earth Chests upgraded from
Earth Shards,
Earth God Dungeon.
- Spiked Shell Ring - Upgrade from 10
Guardian Rings and 500
Stinging Essence
- Guardian Amulet - Drops from
- Slow and Frostburn Debuffs
Damage Reduction
Damage Reduction, or DR, is the most important stat in the game. Damage Reduction, Hitpoints, and
Auto Eat tier are all taken into account when considering how much damage the player can take before being able to die. Damage Reduction can be found on:
- Upgraded versions of the highest level armor pieces from skilling.
- All Ancient tier gear, when fully upgraded
- All God Dungeon gear
Silver Diamond Ring - Can be obtained through
Crafting,
Combat, or
Thieving
Damage Reduction Potions
Leonardo -
Defence Pet
Erran -
Earth God Dungeon Pet
Agility Obstacles
Safeguard/
Stone Skin -
Prayer
For the end game, there are some Prayers and items that drop from
Impending Darkness that affect enemies' DR:
Battleheart - Prayer, reduces enemy DR
Shield of Ranged Power
Shield of Magic Power
Shield of Melee Power
Ring of Power
Bone
Auto Eat
Auto Eat is an upgrade that automatically eats equipped food after a certain health threshold. Upgrading this as quickly as possible is critical. Auto Eat Tier, along with
Hitpoints and Damage Reduction controls what content is accessible without a chance of death.
With Auto Eat, the type of food does not matter as long as one does not run out of it. The difference between
Potatoes or
Whale (Perfect) is negligible. The main difference between any given food sources is the time spent
Cooking,
Fishing or
Farming instead of fighting monsters.
Auto Eat Threshold
Auto Eat Threshold is the HP value necessary to trigger Auto Eat, lowering the necessary HP/DR required. In the base game, only one item affects the Auto Eat threshold:
Wasteful Ring - Drops from
Wicked Greater Dragon
Auto Eat Efficiency
Auto Eat Efficiency increases the amount of HP healed per piece of food eaten. This can be found on:
Cooking item mastery.
Astrology constellation modifiers.
Agility Obstacles.
Famished Potions.
Slayer Area Effect Negation
Slayer Area Effect Negation reduces the effect of Slayer Area debuffs when fighting in one of these areas. These can range from annoying ( Forest of Goo,
Arid Plains) to downright progress blocking (
Dark Waters,
Unhallowed Wasteland). This stat can be found on:
- Pillar of Combat -
Agility capstone.
Hunter's Ring - Drops from
Hunting Greater Dragon.
- All
Slayer armor from the shop (higher tier provides more).
Slayer Skillcape.
Attack Bonus/Accuracy Rating
These are included on all weapons, and some pieces of armor. Melee has
Stab,
Slash, and
Block Bonuses, while
Ranged and
Magic have their own attack bonuses. In combat the player's Accuracy Rating determines how often they hit an enemy, based on the enemy's Evasion Rating.
Summoning Tablets use the player's accuracy rating to calculate their chance to hit.
Defence/Evasion Rating
These are included on all pieces of armor, and are heavily connected to the Combat Triangle. The higher the number, the better. Evasion only helps to kill enemies faster if they can stun, slow, or sleep, as the player will evade their disabling attacks more often.
Hidden Skill Levels
The main Combat page has details on the specifics of the max hit, accuracy, and evasion equations the game uses to calculate your stats. In summary, levels in Attack,
Strength,
Ranged,
Magic and
Defence increase your stats based on different equations, but only up to the level cap (99 for the base game, and 120 with
).
Hidden Levels in any of these stats force these equations to use the player's base skill level (the one shown on the sidebar, equal to the amount of XP earned) AND the player's hidden levels, making the player more powerful than their stats would otherwise indicate. Additionally, hidden levels allow the formulas to calculate stats beyond the level cap.
- A character that is level 15 Strength with +5 Hidden Strength Levels would calculate their Melee Max Hit based on their Effective Level of 20
- A character that is level 99 with +5 Hidden Strength Levels would calculate their Melee Max Hit based on their Effective Level of 104, even when their level is capped and can't go any higher.
Melee Stats
Melee gear focuses on 4 stats:
Strength bonus: One of the factors that determines max hit.
- Stab/Slash/Block bonus: Determines the accuracy (chance to hit) of that particular attack style. Each melee weapon has stats that favor one of the styles, and using the correct one will boost accuracy substantially.
Magic Stats
Magic armor and weapons focus on 2 stats:
- Magic Damage Bonus: Determines max hit.
- Magic Attack Bonus: Determines accuracy.
Additionally, Magic also benefits from Rune Preservation Chance and Rune Cost Reduction. This can be found on multiple items and buffs, including:
- All staves
- All imbued wands, crafted via
Runecrafting from
Magic Wand (Elite)
Book of Eli - Drops from
Hall of Wizards dungeon
Book of Occults - Drops from
Necromancer
Salem - Magic Pet
Skull Cape -
Slayer Shop
Ranged Stats
Ranged armor and weapons focus on 2 stats:
- Ranged strength bonus: Determines your max hit.
- Ranged attack bonus: Determines your accuracy.
Additionally, Ranged gear also benefits from Ammo Preservation. This can be found on multiple items and buffs, including:
Ranger Boots - Drops from
Spider Chest in
Spider Forest
Ranger Hat - Drops from
Spider Chest in
Spider Forest
Ranged Skillcape
Cape of Ranged Preservation
Marahute - Ranged Pet
/
- All Throwing Knives and Javelins
Throwing Power Gloves - Negatively impacts ranged preservation using throwing weapons
Special Attacks and Passive Effects
Beyond stats, many pieces of equipment have Special Attacks or passive effects.
Special Attacks have a percentage chance of triggering when in combat and will replace your standard attack. A list of equipment and spells with special attacks can be viewed on the Special Attacks page.
Passive effects are bonuses that are always in play. These can increase your dps, GP/hr or simply provide more item drops. Item doubling is the most critical. This can be found on multiple items and buffs, including:
Ring of Wealth - 7% Item doubling while in Combat, which is 2% greater than the same bonus provided by
Aorpheat's Signet Ring
Aorpheat's Signet Ring - Made with parts A/B, collected from doing combat/non-combat skills while wearing a
Gold Topaz Ring
Chapeau Noir - Rare
Thieving Drop
Spike Jump
Ice Jump
Pillar of Skilling
GP increases can be found on:
Gold Topaz Ring - Made in
Crafting, or common drop
Gloves of Silence - Drops from
Thief
Fine Coinpurse - Thieving
Woman
Gold Crested Shield - Thieving
King
Jeweled Necklace - Low Town
Thieving Drop
Ring of Wealth - Royal Castle
Thieving Drop
Sneak-Ers - Rare
Thieving Drop
External Tooling
Two popular external tools are the Combat Simulator and Can I Idle.
Combat Simulator is a Mod that allows you to estimate many attributes of combat, such as death rate, XP/hr, drops/hr, DPS, and so on. With Combat Simulator, it is trivial to check if your setup is going to work or not. It simulates combat at high speeds using the games own code, so it's quite accurate. As of game version v1.1.1 this mod has not yet been updated to work with the new built in mod manager and is currently not available.
Can I Idle is a site built by Silber. You enter some of the stats found on the combat page and see which enemies you can or can't idle. It's a very useful tool throughout the game. As of v1.1 the site is no longer being updated for anything beyond the base game, however it will still be entirely accurate for players who have not purchased any expansions. It will only be inaccurate for Elite/Master Slayer tasks for players who have completed
Impending Darkness Event and have purchased the
.
Slayer
If you play actively, you can start with Slayer early. If you want to progress in it, unlocking
Auto Slayer should be your first goal. You will also level your combat skills along the way.
If you idle, it is okay to leave Slayer until you need the bonuses from its gear or drops from its monsters.
Slayer picks up closer to the time of
Volcanic Cave, and you will be able to catch up quickly with all the gear that you have at that point.
It takes 15 Normal Slayer tasks to buy the Basic Slayer gear. The
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Strong) /
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Elite) /
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master) take 25 Hard Tasks / 30 Elite Tasks / 40 Master Tasks respectively.
Slayer Areas sometimes require items that must be purchased using Slayer Coins from the Shop. The monsters locked in slayer areas will not be rolled in slayer tasks until the item has been purchased from the shop. Also, if you are using Auto Slayer, monsters locked behind an item will never appear if the item is not equipped; you can leverage this to control the task rolls.
Base Game Combat
The Early-Early Game: Levels 1-40
Early on, the game is primarily about leveling up your core combat stats, getting a feel for the combat systems, and acquiring basic combat equipment.
All three combat styles are connected. It is impossible to use only one style throughout the game if you wish to complete all content. The Combat Triangle determines how much damage and damage reduction you have against enemies of each different combat style, and is very important in choosing how to approach combat.
It is highly recommend to level all styles to not be in the position where you finished are almost ready to take on a dungeon that requires a specific combat style, and then have to level that skill from level 1 for 2 weeks.
Major Goals
The earliest for most players is the Auto Eat upgrade, purchased in the shop for 1,000
k, followed by the
Amulet of Looting, found in the
Spider Forest, which will make combat a fully automated activity. Beyond that, it's mainly a matter of learning how combat works and leveling up your skills.
Leveling Guidelines
As the player is just being introduced to combat, this section will try to be as simple as possible, while also setting some guidelines for the rest of the guide. The tables in each section in this entire guide will generally provide bare minimum recommendations. Some notes on how to use the information given:
- The player must have an appropriate Auto Eat level and won't run out of food.
- The player has enough Damage Reduction to survive against enemies when Auto Eat is not enough by itself.
- Armor should be upgraded from the Bank screen whenever possible, this is possible for all
Melee armor and
Ranged armor starting with
Green D-hide
For the first section, the player will likely not have any cape, amulet, rings, Prayer,
Potions,
Astrology bonuses, or
Agility obstacles. With proper bonuses, the player can attempt much more difficult content and make progress a lot faster. Some notes on the first section:
- All assumed skill levels are equal to the ones required by the set of gear.
- When choosing a proper monster to farm, it is recommended to follow a priority rule:
- Drops something that you want.
- Is your current Slayer Task.
- Highest XP/hr.
Hitting the same enemy for 2 weeks because they are the "best" is a really boring way to play the game.
And finally, using Combat Simulator and [I Idle] should be your guide over anything printed here. This guide accepts no responsibility for untimely deaths.
Melee
Leveling
Most players start combat with Melee as it does not require the overhead of
Fletching Ammunition for
Ranged or
Runecrafting Runes for
Magic.
For Melee, use Smithing to wear and wield the highest level gear available.
Smithing armor can be upgraded () twice from the Bank, once with
Silver Bars and the second time with
Gold Bars. Typically, upgrading armor isn't really worth the extra time spent until at least
Adamant.
Melee leveling is split across 3 different skills, Attack,
Strength, and
Defence.
Attack is trained using the
Stab Attack Style
Strength is trained using the
Slash Attack Style
Defence is trained using the
Block Attack Style
In general, all Melee weapons have Stat distributions that encourage the use of the following Attack Styles:
Weapon | Details | Style | |
---|---|---|---|

Ranged
Same as Melee, you should be doing the highest XP/hr monster with the highest possible gear. Due to the slower attack speed and the relative difficulty of Fletching large amounts of bolts, you shouldn't use
crossbows until you have the
Dragon Crossbow or better. For bolts, anything worse than
Emerald Bolts is sellable. Save the
Diamonds for
Diamond Luck IV Potions.
Leveling
Ranged has a lot of options to do great damage, particularly to
Magic enemies that may be very difficult to beat with Melee.
For Ranged, use Crafting to obtain the highest level Armor, and
Crafting to obtain the highest level Weapons and Ammo.
Crafting armor can be upgraded () once from the Bank, using more of the raw
Dragonhide. Upgrading Ranged armor is always recommended once it's available.
Ranged has three different Attack styles, Accurate,
Rapid, and
Longrange:
Accurate increases your Hidden Ranged level which causes each attack to be more accurate and deal more damage.
Rapid lowers the attack interval of the weapon by 0.4 seconds, making each attack significantly faster
Longrange increases your Hidden Ranged Level by less than Accurate, while also giving Hidden Defence Levels and evenly splitting the amount of XP earned between
Ranged and
Defence.
In general, Accurate is more effective at low levels, while
Rapid is more effective at higher levels. The cutoff is approximately level 40.
Longrange should likely be used before this cutoff to also get an amount of
Defence XP!
Ranged has several different Weapon types to choose from, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. For the early part of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source:

Magic
Leveling
See Magic/Training for an alternative way to level magic with non-combat Spells.
Magic is a time consuming but rewarding Combat Style due to the sheer prevalence of Melee enemies. Dealing more damage and taking less damage from the most common enemies in the game is fantastic.
For Magic, use Runecrafting to obtain the highest level weapons and armor, as well as to create runes to cast spells.
Runecrafting armor does not need to be upgraded to provide Damage Reduction, appropriate level Robes will automatically provide this stat.
Magic has two different Attack styles, Magic and
Defensive:
Magic increases your Hidden Magic level which causes each attack to be more accurate and deal more damage.
Defensive increases your Hidden Magic Level less, while also giving Hidden Defence Levels and evenly splitting the amount of XP earned between
Magic and
Defence.
In general, Defensive is always the most efficient Attack Style to use, as training
Defence with
Magic uses the least amount of time and damage while remaining efficient.
Combat Magic has a ton of options to choose from, mainly based on the amount and type of runes required to cast each spell. Curses and Auroras can add a lot of damage, but are entirely optional as they increase the amount of runes required to
It is recommended to choose a spell, staff, robes, and aurora that use as many of the same primary Elemental Runes as possible.

Each non-Wind spell also has the option of using Combination Runes. Combination Runes are a good way to level
Runecrafting, as they are worth significantly more XP than their individual counterparts; crafting combination runes for spells you plan to use is a great way to make more efficient use of your
Runecrafting leveling.
When using Combination Runes, look to synergize your staff with any Aurora also being cast, as their rune cost reduction does not apply to Combination Runes. For example, there is no benefit to using a Fire Battlestaff with
Fire Wave if you are casting the spell with
Smoke Runes, but there would be a benefit of using a
Air Battlestaff with
Fire Wave if you were also casting
Surge II.

- Equipment:
Elite Amulet of Magic - Drops from combining 100
Amulet of Magic
Book of Eli - Drops from
Hall of Wizards.
Shaman Ring - Drops from
Shaman.
- Upgrades into
Nature's Blessing Ring with 10,000
Nature Rune
- Upgrades into
Volcanic Cave and Ancient Armor
The major goal of this section is to find and equip Ancient Armor
Ancient Wizard Robes come from the
Hall of Wizards.
- This dungeon isn't really difficult enough to warrant a guide, it is recommended to use the best available Ranged equipment to benefit the most from the Combat Triangle.
- As with most Magic equipment, these robes do not need to be upgraded to get the full benefit.
Ancient D-hide Armor comes from the
Dragons Den.
- This dungeon has a guide at Dragons Den/Guide
- This armor needs to be upgraded, getting the raw D-hide necessary to fully upgrade this armor will likely take longer than getting each piece of armor
Ancient D-hide Shield has a second upgrade, the
Scaled Shield, which is best in slot for Ranged for a long time.
Ancient Plate Armor comes from the
Volcanic Cave.
- This dungeon has a guide at Volcanic Cave/Guide
- This armor, like
Smithing armor needs to be upgraded twice.
Ancient Shield has a fourth upgrade, the
Dragonfire Shield, which is best in slot for Melee for a long time. Upgrading this shield requires 7050
Dragon Bones.
Due to the nature of the game, it is entirely possible to skip Ancient armor completely, and go straight to the next section. This does however require a bit more knowledge of how the game works, and is not necessarily recommended. The Dragonfire Shield and the
Scaled Shield are two important items that should NOT be skipped.
The Mid Game: Levels 76-95
After acquiring and equipping all of the Ancient sets of armor and obtaining decent weapons, the player should now be well prepared to step up to the plate of the next challenge the game has to offer, Infernal Stronghold and the God Dungeons. But first, it is hugely recommended to assess the progress of all non-combat skills; each of these dungeons is difficult enough that NOT having access to Prayers,
Herblore Potions,
Summoning Tablets, or
Agility /
Astrology bonuses can make progress significantly slower than it needs to be.
This section will first outline any particularly useful buffs and some crucial pieces of equipment to grab before moving on.
Major Goals
Infernal Cape
Infernal Claw
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
Stormsnap
Cloudburst Staff
Earth Layered Shield
Big ol Ron
God Armor
External Buffs
Prayer
Prayer, while always useful, can be difficult to level up in the early game, and many players ignore it due to the upkeep required. Now is a great time to remedy that!
Obtaining Prayer Points is the main ingredient here, this can take time and effort, but is rewarding. Prayer Points come from the following sources:
- Burying
all Bones and
Holy Dust, this is generally not recommended unless you have a consistent, non-combat source of these as bones are relatively slow to gather and often used for non-combat skills.
Bones and
Holy Dust can be made with
Alt-Magic Spells.
Magic Bones can be purchased from the Shop for
Ash is obtained from
Firemaking which can be buried by itself or turned into
Small Urn or
Medium Urn in
Crafting and then turned into
Small Urn (Enchanted) and
Medium Urn (Enchanted) in
Alt-Magic.
Raw Skeleton Fish can be caught in
Fishing if the player has found the
Message in a Bottle
As for which Prayers to use, preferably Battleheart and the best combat style prayer available,
Piety,
Rigour, or
Augury.
Agility
Agility grants many powerful bonuses the most important of which being increased Hitpoints. This can make achieving idle-breakpoints much easier when your effective HP is 9 levels higher than it should be.
Which bonuses you pick and whether or not you want to swap courses often are up to you as which obstacles are "best" varies based on what you're doing and what your goals are, but the following table will list any obstacles with helpful combat bonuses:
# | Obstacle | Reason | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | +3% Global GP, woohoo! | ||||
2 | X | ||||
3 | The only obstacle on this tier with any benefit to combat. | ||||
4 | The only obstacle on this tier with a net-positive benefit to combat. | ||||
These obstacles are decent in the Early Game for squeezing out a little bit of extra power when your HP and Damage Reduction don't really matter. | |||||
5 | Use this typically any time when doing slayer, but be aware of the negative modifier and pick and choose when to run this. | ||||

Preferably Diamond Luck Potion IV or
Damage Reduction Potion IV. Alternatively:
Melee Strength Potion IV,
Ranged Strength Potion IV, or
Magic Damage Potion IV
Hinder Potion IV
Lethal Toxins Potion IV
Summoning
For dungeons, preferably Dragon and the best combat style Tablet available,
Minotaur,
Centaur, or
Witch. For Slayer
Cyclops paired with the same combat style tablets a safe bet:

Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs (FEZ)
Final upgrade of all of the Elite Amulets. FEZ has a table that details a number of important stats on each Amulet at FEZ/Guide. If the guide has been followed thoroughly until this point, here is a quick summary of where each amulet should be obtained from the quickest:
Mummy for
Amulet of Strength
Bandit for
Amulet of Ranged
Master Wizard for
Amulet of Magic
Bounty Hunter for
Amulet of Glory,
Amulet of Accuracy, and
Amulet of Defence
Fierce Devil for
Amulet of Torture
Seething Horned Elite for
Amulet of Fury
- Note that
Deep Sea Ship drops
Amulet of Torture and
Volcanic Cave drops
Amulet of Fury, so it is recommended to finish obtaining any items from these dungeons first to help ease the grind.
- Note that
Dungeon Guides
Infernal Stronghold
- This dungeon has a guide at Infernal Stronghold/Guide
The primary reason to do this dungeon is the Infernal Cape which grants 4% Damage Reduction and works well for each combat style. The
Infernal Cores dropped here can be used to upgrade and
Ancient Claw into an
Infernal Claw, a critical and powerful one-handed Melee weapon.
Air God Dungeon
- This dungeon has a guide at Air God Dungeon/Guide.
The Air God Dungeon drops
Ranged armor and equipment, and is usually completed with
Melee equipment
from the
Volcanic Cave.
Water God Dungeon
- This dungeon has a guide at Water God Dungeon/Guide.
The Water God Dungeon drops

The Fire God Dungeon drops
Melee dps oriented armor and equipment, and is usually completed with
Ranged equipment from the
Air God Dungeon.
Into the Mist
- This dungeon has a guide at Into the Mist/Guide.
Into the Mist is one of the most difficult challenges in the game. It cannot be idled.
To start, the player must first fight 20 Afflicted versions of randomly chosen monsters between combat level 165 and 677. Any monster, including bosses, save those from Unhallowed Wasteland or
Dark Waters, can be chosen.
Affliction is a special status effect applied by monsters that reduces your max HP. This means that the encounters are a race against the clock, forcing you to kill the enemy before your affliction stacks get too high. Due to this, it is recommended that you focus on DPS above all else when choosing your three gear sets.
This dungeon cannot be completed without the Dungeon Equipment Swapping upgrade purchased from the shop.
Note that it may be beneficial to complete the Master tier Slayer tasks required to unlock
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master) before completing Into the Mist for the first time. This is because of
Dark Waters monsters being added to the pool of available enemies. It will no longer be trivial to use
Auto Slayer for Master tier Tasks, as the new enemies are fairly strong, and are more lethal to the average player than the Greater Dragons available in the
Perilous Peaks version of Master Tasks. If you do not feel comfortable learning how to do manual slayer, feel free to Auto-slay Perilous Peaks. See below for a more in depth explanation.
Into the Mist consists of 3 boss phases in a set order, with pauses in between each phase. Refer to Into the Mist/Guide for a comprehensive guide on completing this dungeon.
Notable Rewards:
- Access to the
Dark Waters slayer area, where the T90 weapons can be obtained
Pablo - Drops after 5 completions
Combat Passive Slot
Main Article: Combat Passive Slot
Congratulations on completing Into the Mist! The reward is one of the best upgrades in the game, the Passive Slot. This allows any item with a "Passive: ____" effect to be equipped in said slot.
While the original article is more than exhaustive, some of the best choices are highlighted here:
Chapeau Noir - More item doubling is always good
Ring of Wealth - More item doubling is always good
Master Slayer Armor - Lets you splash more Flat Slayer Area Reduction, along with a pittance of item doubling
Elder Crown - Slightly more dps from attack interval reduction, a big pile of free lifesteal helps preserve food stocks
Fighter Amulet - Melee only, good dps, less attacks taken from enemies
Deadeye Amulet - Ranged only, fantastic dps
When to complete Master Slayer Tasks: Before or after ITM
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master) and therefore
Master Slayer Armor are unlocked by completing 40 Master tier
Slayer tasks. In the base game, Master Tier Slayer consists of 3 Slayer areas based on the following unlock conditions:
Perilous Peaks -
Level 85. By default, only enemies in this area will appear in Master Tasks
Dark Waters -
Into the Mist completed at least once.
Unhallowed Wasteland - Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland purchased from the Shop.
The contains new Master Slayer areas, but these are all locked behind completion of the
Impending Darkness Event
Completing 40 Master tasks can take anywhere from 20-80+ hours (with a probable average of about 40hours), depending on your setup, luck with task length, or efficiency/luck in rerolling for short tasks on the fastest to kill monster. These tasks can be completed either before or after Into the Mist, and which method you do is up to you.
Due to the difficulty of enemies in Dark Waters, using
Auto Slayer to complete Master tasks is no longer feasible following the completion of
Into the Mist. Therefore, it is 'simpler' to complete all 40 tasks while having only
Perilous Peaks unlocked, as the only necessity is to meet the DR checkpoints of each monster. You will also need a fairly healthy supply of food, as these Greater Dragons all have the Greater Dragonbreath ability, which deals a large amount of unavoidable damage.
The Dark Waters drop valuable materials to make powerful weapons, generally consume equal or less food than greater dragons, and an average of about 40 hours each to complete with optimal setups. Therefore, even though they cannot be done on Auto-slayer, completing your Master tasks while working on your t90 weapons will most likely consume less food, and generally take less overall time on on task by killing two birds with one stone. The major downside here is that you will want to check back in every 2-3 hours to swap your equipment and manually change to the next task. This is not mandatory, but it is recommended as you will be earning Slayer XP and Slayer Coins all the while, and you will be able to purchase Prayer Points and Food at a profit.
Consider the addition of the Passive Slot - By equipping powerful passive effects in this slot, you can greatly increase your DPS, item drop rate, or greatly reduce your food consumption. This is most noticable on Greater Dragons; with the Elder Crown equipped, food use against these enemies drops dramatically.
Fighter Amulet works similarly for enemies primarily fought with Melee;
Rokken and
Hunting Greater Dragon.
The Late Game: Levels 96-99
Major Goals
Following completion of Into the Mist, you now have access to
Dark Waters, the penultimate slayer area and will soon be able to unlock
Unhallowed Wasteland
These are long grinds, and may require quite a bit of preparation.
We recommend acquiring them while fighting each monster as a slayer task, this will require you to turn OFF auto-slayer, and will encourage semi-frequent check-ins. Doing these on task will increase your damage dealt to them from various buffs, namely Slayer Skillcape.
All items dropped in these two areas come as fragments of the final pieces, needing hundreds of individual items to make one final version, therefore it is recommended to attempt to sneak in as much item doubling into your gear as possible. Using the Combat Simulator to measure your Drops/hr with no deaths is highly recommended. It can make the difference in literal days of grinding.
Dark Waters
- This Slayer area has a guide at Dark Waters/Guide
These 3 monsters drop fragments for the T90 (tier, or level requirement) weapons, high level and powerful weapons that are extremely helpful in completing the following Slayer Area, as well as the Impending Darkness Event. Each weapon is upgraded by combining 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 2% drop rate. That's 5,000 kills on average with 0% chance to double items.
Using the above "manual" Slayer method will make the order you obtain the weapons in effectively random, but if you want to do them in a specific order, we recommend the following:
Shockwave - Made from
Shockwave Fragment, dropped by
Rokken
Ocean Song - Made from
Ocean Song Fragment, dropped by
Ku-tul
Tidal Edge - Made from
Tidal Edge Fragment, dropped by
Umbora
Additionally, you should also acquire the pet Otto whilst doing this grind, if you do not, continue farming whichever mob you kill the fastest on or off task until you get it.
Unhallowed Wasteland
- This Slayer area has a guide at Unhallowed Wasteland/Guide
After completing the T90 weapon grinds, you are ready to face the another difficult challenge, the Unhallowed Wasteland (UW) - the final
Slayer area in the base game
To access it, you need to purchase a Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland.
The area requires maximizing a different stat than DR. All of the monsters here will heal a % of their current HP every 2 attacks, which will massively hinder your DPS regardless of the setup. To mitigate this, you need a cumulative 100% Flat Slayer Area Effect Negation.
With 0% chance to double items, these monsters all require an average of 4000 kills to obtain all items required.
Here's an example of the gear required for melee:
Item | Slot | Slayer Area Effect Negation % |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Head | 20% |
![]() |
Body | 20% |
![]() |
Passive | 20% |
![]() ![]() |
Cape | 25% |
![]() |
Ring | 10% |
Agility | 5% | |
Total | 100% |
For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor. Note that you cannot ever wear two of the same item, so whichever item you choose to put in the passive slot must be one of the armor pieces not currently equipped in your chest/head slots.
It should be noted that while UW is listed first, completing the Impending Darkness Event will strictly make this grind faster! You can complete ID without any of the UW gear sets, and the shields greatly speed up these grinds.
While you are here, you will be working to acquire all of the set bonus gear, dropped from each of the UW monsters:
Poison Virulence Gloves/
Poison Virulence Ring - Upgrades from
Worm Spike/
Poison Essence respectively, dropped by
Legaran Wurm
Burning Madness Gloves/
Burning Madness Ring - Upgrades from
Cursed Hands/
Burning Essence respectively, dropped by
Cursed Lich
Spiked Shell Gloves/
Spiked Shell Ring - Upgrades from
Tough Shell/
Stinging Essence respectively, dropped by
Spiked Red Claw
Relentless Fury Gloves/
Relentless Fury Ring - Upgrades from
Desecrated Bones/
Undead Essence respectively, dropped by
Greater Skeletal Dragon
Impending Darkness Event
- This dungeon has a guide at Impending Darkness Event/Guide.
The final dungeon of the base game of Melvor Idle also has a bunch of unique mechanics:
- Combat takes place in
Slayer Areas, with their respective Slayer Area Effects active
- This also includes the entry requirements for each Area!
- Negative modifiers, each phase of the event will require the player to choose a modifier that applies to all enemies.
- Running from Combat will not make you leave the event, but will reset any progress made on unfinished Slayer Areas.
- Bane's combat style will also be rerolled, if you want to choose a different combat style.
- All non-combat skills are able to be trained while the Event is paused, which can be helpful if the player wants to complete the Event over multiple sessions without losing time doing nothing.
And some returning mechanics:
- Affliction - everybody's favorite debuff!
- Each phase of the Event gives the normal Slayer enemies more Max HP, more Max Hit, and a higher chance to apply affliction.
- Manual Eating - It is very difficult to impossible to guarantee your safety in this event without careful manual eating and knowledge of each enemy's attacks.
Similar to Ahrenia,
Bane requires you to fight him with the same combat style he is using.
Each phase of the event is the same, with the added dangers of extra negative modifiers and increased base passives. The player will be given the choice of a negative modifier, then must complete a series of gauntlets through 4 difficult Slayer Areas, these gauntlets are up to 8 monsters randomly chosen from the pool of available monsters in each area. Once each area is completed, the event pauses until the player selects the next area. Immediately upon completion of the final slayer area, Bane will spawn with a random combat style. While the main article has more information, it is recommended to complete the slayer areas in the following order:
Because Bane uses the modifiers from the Slayer Area you fight him in, you should always fight him in the
Perilous Peaks. Your prayers will be
Battleheart and
Protect from Style, which makes the area effect (-% Evasion) not actually have an effect on
Bane's chance to hit the player.
The final fight with Bane is a special version,
Bane, Instrument of Fear with an extra ability.
Each time Bane is defeated the following rewards are given directly to the player, in this set order. All of these are BiS for the base game, and are still useful and viable in any expansion content:
