Over time you will need many hundreds of bank slots to hold all of your items, and price of bank slots will continue to increase until it reaches {{GP|5000000}} per slot. You can also save space by selling items that you don't need, or those that do not take long to re-gather.

However, most items will have a use in time, and there are a some items that you shouldn't consider selling because you will need them later. These include {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones}}, {{ItemIcon|Antique Vases}}.

Q: Should I buy a new Bank Tab from the shop?


:A: The bank tab item provides an empty new tab - it does not give you any new bank slots. At the start of the game you are given 12 bank slots to help organize your items. You will only need this item if you have lots of {{GP}} '''and''' you have a lot of items to organize. It should not be on your "must have" list early on in the game.

Q: What are local and cloud saves? Do I need to force save?
Q: What are local and cloud saves? Do I need to force save?


:A: There are two types of saves: cloud, and local. Local saves are saved every 10 seconds and are stored on your device. Cloud saves require a free Melvor Cloud account and push a copy of your local save to the cloud. This happens automatically every two hours if you have "Auto Save to Cloud" turned on in the settings (on by default). You can also manually update your cloud save by tapping the green "Force Save" button at the top of the screen. It is recommended that you force save before leaving the app, especially if you plan to play next on a different device.

:When you are loading your game, you will want to load the most recent save. If you last played on the device you are using, the local save will be more recent. If you last played on another device and saved to the cloud, the cloud save will be more recent. Tap the "Show Cloud Saves" or "Show Local Saves" button at the top of the screen to swap which saves are shown.

Q: Is it possible to transfer saves between devices without a Melvor Cloud account?
:A: Yes. To do so, click the cog in the top right of the save you wish to transfer. There are three options:
* Create Sharable Save URL - This option creates a URL that contains your save string.
* Download Save - This downloads a text document with your save string inside.
* Export Save - This will simply show the save string.
:To import a save, click the cog in the top right of the save slot you wish to import the save to then click 'Import Save'. You can either paste the URL inside this box or the raw save string from one of the other methods.
