This page contains changelogs for the most recent major/minor version of the game. For all historical changelogs, see [[Full Changelog]] or the navigation at the very bottom of this page.
 
Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! And the first update with a title - Welcome to Melvor
 
Alpha v0.10 is the largest update I have released to date for this game. Many additions have been included which will set the path this game will take from here-on. Thank you to everyone who has been here on this journey with me. I hope I can continue provide updates to this game that everyone will enjoy.
 
Now, let's see what the big inclusions are.
 
===MELVOR===
 
Welcome to Melvor.
 
https://puu.sh/ELSiF/121b2e2b50.png
 
A vast, mystical landscape that is just waiting to be explored. Traverse the harsh lands and encountered various enemies and dungeons which await your arrival.
 
This map will represent Melvor as a whole. Finally adding world-building elements to the game is a big step in creating something interesting. It allows for so many possibilities in the future, which I am excited to share with you all.
 
Combat Area selection has been changed to physical locations that you can select from the map. The black sections of the map represent unexplored territory. Who know what we will find out there?
 
===MAGIC===
 
Magic has been added to the game!!
 
In its current state, Magic is solely a Combat skill, designed to output high damage, whilst trading your defence in return.
 
There is currently 20 damage-dealing skills to use in combat. You are required to wield a magical staff to use Magic (Will touch on this below).
 
My plans for Magic are to also add buff/debuff spells alongside non-combat Magic skills like Alching and Enchantment. Watch this skill closely as it develops!
 
You are required to equip a Staff to use Magic in combat
 
===RUNECRAFTING===
 
What good is Magic without the Runes?? Here we have Runecrafting - a very basic, yet important skill for those who wish to train Magic
 
Craft Runes using the Rune Essence you collect from Mining, which can be then used in Combat to gain an advantage over enemies.
 
Air, Water, Earth and Fire Runes can be upgraded in the Bank to produce a Magical Staff. These Staffs can be upgraded further to provide more benefits.
 
===COMBAT TRIANGLE===
 
Now that we have all three combat skills/types in the game, the implementation of the Combat Triangle as also been included.
 
When you face an enemy in Combat, you will now see that they have an 'Attack Type'. This can either be Melee, Ranged or Magic. This determines the evasion statistic that will be used in combat.
 
For example - if you are facing an enemy with the Ranged attack type, your Ranged Evasion Rating will be used as your 'Defence'. This is the same for enemies, based on your Attack Type.
 
The general rule of thumb is Melee > Ranged / Ranged > Magic / Magic > Melee. But this also depends on the gear you have equipped.
 
===SKILLCAPES===
 
They're here, they're finally here! For those of you who love to brag, these are just the thing for you.
 
Skillcapes are somewhat of a 'Trophy' that you can acquire upon reaching Level 99 in its respective skill. Once you reach that glorious max level, the Shop will allow you to purchase the Skillcape for 1,000,000 GP.
 
Each Skillcape comes with its own unique benefit for the skill it is acquired for. Skillcapes also provide base Melee, Ranged and Magic Defence stats of +9. If you manage to lose your Skillcape in battle, you may purchase another one from the shop.
 
Who can collect them all?

For those of you who are wanting more Skilling content/changes, it will be saved for v0.10.
 
Let's have a look at what has been introduced this update.
 
===Dungeons===
 
Dungeons are basically another term to describe Bosses. Your goal is the slay all prior monsters within the dungeon to then face the beast that protects the area.
 
Each dungeon provides a unique chest as a reward. Inside this chest contains many valuable items for you to obtain.
 
Note: You are not able to change your equipment or food choice during the dungeons. Choose your options wisely before you start!
 
Let's see who can beat them all!
 
===Melvor Cloud===
 
This update also brings updated functionality to the Melvor Cloud.
 
Upon logging in to the Melvor Cloud, it will now attempt to automatically load your save. If the save stored in the Cloud is different to the one you already have loaded, it will prompt you with a few options to ensure we don't step on your toes.
 
If you are logged into the Cloud, your save will automatically upload to the cloud every 5 minutes. You can force a syncronise by visiting the dropdown menu under your username.
 
As always, please backup your save before performing any actions as a safeguard.

==Alpa v0.08.2==
Released: 31 October 2019
 
Today I am introducing a heavily requested feature, as well as some fixes and changes based on feedback from players.
 
===Melvor Cloud===
 
Welcome to the Cloud!
 
From the Settings tab, you can access what I like to call the 'Melvor Cloud' - a starting point for exciting things to come.
 
It has been heavily requested that I add some form of Cloud Saving functionality to the game, and this is the start of that solution.
 
Upon load you will see a Login / Register page. When you register for an account, your currently loaded save will be syncronised alongside your account creation.
 
Upon logging in, you will be greeted with two options.
 
The first is a button that simply links to a text page containing nothing but the currently syncronised save file from the server. Copy / paste this into the import field to load it.
 
The second option is a syncronise button. Clicking this will overwrite the existing save in the cloud with your currently loaded save.
 
In its current state, this is a very basic system with a sole purpose to provide a Cloud Save system for your game. There is no auto-syncronise yet, or any other server based functionality. This will come later down the track, please be patient.
 
===Changes===
* [NEW] Melvor Cloud has bee introduced.
* [NEW] Equip xAll for Food and Arrows added as an option.
* [FIXED] Fixed an issue with GP value becoming a very large decimal number.
* [FIXED] Woodcutting stats for seconds spent cutting is now displayed correctly.
 
PLEASE NOTE: I am still investigating a few bugs to do with crafting skills. Hotfixes will be applied when resolved.
 
==Alpha v0.08.1==
Release: 30 October 2019
 
This update provides urgent fixes for many reported bugs.
 
Thank you to everyone who is actively helping me with this game. It doesn't go unnoticed, and I appreciate every single one of you for it!

The next update, Alpha v0.09, will have a focus on combat (You can see a little teaser in the Combat Area selector).
 
Let's take a look at what has been added into the game.
 
===Ranged===
 
Ranged combat is the latest addition to the combat skills area.
 
Take advantage of the large damage output from bows and arrows, as well as the inclusion of ranged armour that can assist with your combat.
 
Ranged combat requires a bow and arrow. Be sure to pay attention to your ammo so you do not get caught out.
 
===Fletching===
 
Fletching is a very simple skill. Currently, its sole purpose is to provide you with bow and arrow creation.
 
A simple, yet fast skill to train.
 
===Crafting===
 
Crafting provides the option to create ranged armour, as well as put your gems to use in creating combat rings and necklaces.
 
This isn't the fastest skill to train, but the benefits provided by the equipment you can craft makes it something to pay attention to.

This update focuses on updates to current content within Melvor Idle.
 
The main focus is on Balance (Except Combat), as well as an array of changes, fixes, optimizations and other QoL inclusions.
 
I have also added a Patreon link to the sidebar ingame. For those who wish to directly support the development of this game, and receive some benefits along the way, I will be greatly appreciative of that. I won't really be advertising it after this update, but it will be there for those who wish to support. This game will still continue development as usual even with no Patreons.
 
BALANCE CHANGES
It was too hard to show all the balance changes here, so I created a Google Sheet showing all the changes.

Game Update - v1.3 (13th June 2024)

Upcoming v1.3 Changelog + "Need to knows"

The v1.3 Major Update is less than 24 hours away, so I thought I'd use the time to provide the changelog, as well as some "need to knows" so we're all on the same page.

Upcoming v1.3 Changelog + "Need to knows" The v1.3 Major Update is less than 24 hours away (as of the time of writing this post), so I thought I'd use the time to provide the changelog, as well as some "need to knows" so we're all on the same page.

Need to Knows

There's a few things to consider when the v1.3 update drops.

v1.3 isn't out yet

UPDATE: If you are reading this news announcement now - v1.3 has officially been released on all platforms!

Thought I'd just mention this first, but as of the time of writing this, v1.3 is not out yet. This is just a "heads up" announcement and the changelog posted in advance.

You can check the character select screen for the version number (If you can't see it then its probably not released yet).

Your Mods will break

Due to the reworks of many fundamental systems in v1.3, your Mods will most definitely break. A few things to take note when the update drops:

  • Double check your mods and ensure they are up to date.
  • Make a local copy of your save if you wish to try and load it with mods. The game generally catches game-breaking bugs before anything happens to the save though (Better to be safe than sorry).
  • Play without mods until they are updated (Note that this results in lost Mod save data if a save is loaded without the Mod).

The good news about this is that some of the more promiment mods will be ready to go with an update as the developers have had access to the update prior to launch.

Please respect the time and effort of Mod developers as they are always working in their spare time to provide mods for you to use! Understand that they probably already know their mod is broken, and are working on a fix.

Into the Abyss is not released at the same time as v1.3

We always release the Major Update a few days before the official release of the Expansions. This allows us to fix potential critical bugs or issues leading up to the release.

Exact time Into the Abyss releases will be posted on socials closer to the date.

v1.3 Changelog

Here is the changelog for the v1.3 update.

Important Preface

  • This update adds new content required for Completion to the base game. This means Completion capes cannot be equipped until Completion is met again.
  • You are provided with a free death on your first load. This means if you are idling Combat/Thieving offline and die due to some potential changes (Like completion cape unequipping), you will not lose any items.
  • Changelog isn't final as we continue fixing some bugs leading up to release.

Strongholds

  • Added 4 new Strongholds to the game under a new “Strongholds” Combat category
  • Added new damage type to the game - Pure Damage - used by Monsters in the Stronghold

Equipment Slots

  • Added 3 new Equipment Slots - Enhancement slots. Used by Enhancements obtained from Strongholds
  • Equipment slots are now moddable - Mods can now add custom equipment slots.

New Items

  • Added 3 new Standard Enhancements to each Stronghold
  • Added 3 new Augmented Enhancements to each Stronghold
  • Added 1 new Superior Enhancement to each Stronghold

Quality of Life Additions

  • Added a breakdown of modifier sources for various things like XP, Mastery XP, interval, Preservation, Doubling, Thieving Stealth. This information is contained in the tooltip of the relevant bonus.
  • Added the ability to search for Agility Obstacles. Searching for any word in a positive modifier will highlight its location.
  • You can now view the Monster list of any Dungeon / Stronghold
  • Added Area Info to Combat Areas which displays information about the Combat Triangle, and also # of completions and whether you have the Pet or not.
  • Offline Progress calculation now displays its progress.
  • Added some more Combat Stats to the Combat Stats area.
  • Fishing Areas now display the Interval and XP provided by the Fish without needing to select it first.
  • You can now Export / Download / Create Shareable URL of your current save from the top-right dropdown menu.
  • The Bank Search now supports queries such as “Throne of the Herald” or “toth” which will only show items from that expansion.
  • Weapons now display their damage type icon in the Bank.

Item Changes

  • Fighter Amulet - Changed effect - While you are using Melee attack type: Enemies are Stunned for 1 Attack turn when they deal damage greater than 30% of your maximum hitpoints
  • Sailor's Top now provides -100% Fishing Special Chance
  • [AoD] Merman Pendant has now been split into two pieces which need to be upgraded to acquire the Amulet itself. Piece 1 has replaced the original Merman Pendant drop at the Melantis Dig Site, Piece 2 can be found as a rare drop from the Merman in the Underwater Ruins Combat Area. If you already have the Pendant then you still keep it and nothing else changed.
  • [AoD] Candelabra (Lit) now only requires 3 Candles, instead of 5.
  • [AoD] Biting Gloves - Nasty Bite Special Attack - Damage now capped at 2K (20K for Adventure). Description also updated.

Monster Changes

  • Wicked Greater Dragon - Confusion Special Attack - now performs an avoidable attack that deals 300 + 5% of your max hit as damage. This special attack can no longer kill you if you are too strong.
  • [TotH] Increased Torvair’s Hitpoints to 19,730, up from 19,500. They are now Combat Level 1,337.

Other Changes

  • Sleep - Adjusted Effect - Characters will now become “Drowsy” after the Sleep effect wears off for 2 of their attack turns. Drowsy increases their attack interval by 10%, and also makes them immune to Sleep.
  • Capped the damage of Burn, Poison and Deadly Poison to a total of 10K damage (100K for Adventure). This damage cap is set prior to resistance calculations (Eg if total damage after modifiers is 15K, it's then capped to 10K, then resistance applied for final value).
  • Total Frostburn total Damage is now capped at 2K (20K for Adventure).
  • Effects that deal damage based on Max or Current HP are now capped at 10K (100K for Adventure). Tooltips/descriptions should mention this detail now as well.
  • Effects that deal damage based on Max or Current HP are now affected by resistance. They used to ignore all resistances for some reason.
  • Confusion Curse - Current HP Damage 3% -> 2%

  • The option to spend Legacy Ticks (an old feature removed 14 months ago) has now been removed from Township. If you wish to keep spending them, a mod will need to bring back the option. However, we can’t confirm if the legacy functionality still works as intended since the rewrites in this major update.
  • Removed double bone drops from Crafting Lesser Relic

Firemaking Changes

  • Firemaking Bonfires now automatically relight using the same Logs it initially started with when depleted. This means you can start a Bonfire with Redwood Logs for its XP bonus, then switch back to Normal Logs to burn, and once the Bonfire depletes it will relight using Redwood Logs. The Bonfire will tell you which logs are used, and the quantity in your Bank.
  • If you run out of Logs for the Bonfire, it will default back to using the Logs you are currently burning.
