=== Introduction ===
There is no right or wrong way to progress in the game, and you will rarely, if ever, be punished for experimenting. Melvor Idle is about the journey not the destination. This guide gives one method for how to start your Melvor Idle journey. The goal is to give players a helping hand in the early stages of the game. It is not a complete walkthrough, nor optimal for all play styles.
This page presents one of the possible ways to start your Melvor journey. Please note that the instructions below are for the Standard and {{Icon|Hardcore|nolink=true}} [[Game Mode|Game Modes]]. For {{Icon|Adventure|nolink=true}}, please refer to [[Adventure/Guide]].


The goal of the provided steps is to make your overall progress to 100% completion as fast as possible. However, it is not guaranteed that this is the fastest method, nor is there a right or wrong way to progress in the game. New players in particular may wish to try a larger diversity of [[Category:Skills|skills]] rather than training the same skills for a significant amount of time. Therefore, feel free to diverge from the below guidance should you wish to do so.
=Why not to use this guide?=
This guide is intended for Standard and {{Icon|Hardcore|nolink=true}} [[Game Mode|Game Modes]]:
*If you are playing {{Icon|Adventure|nolink=true}} gamemode then please refer to the [[Adventure/Guide]].
*If you are playing {{Icon|Ancient Relics}} gamemode then please refer to the [[Ancient Relics/Guide]].


This page is inspired by the following [https://www.reddit.com/r/MelvorIdle/comments/r6e6wk/comment/hmsrvon/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 reddit post].
=Before you start=
In general:
* You should expect some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
* Melvor Idle has true offline progression, when the game is opened after being turned off, it will automatically calculate the difference in time and reward all progress made in the time spent offline up to 24 hours.
** If you find the 24 hour timespan too limiting, it can be extended with the "Unlimited Offline" [[Mods|Mod]]. Longer periods of inactivity may lead to long load times.
** Mods to any game always come with inherent risk, use your own discretion before downloading mods and keep regular backups.  


=== Steps ===
==Skills That Buff Other Skills==
# Level {{Skill|Astrology}} until level 20 to unlock {{Icon|Ameria|type=constellation}}, then continue training on this constellation until level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}. Doing so will provide access to 3 basic modifiers and 2 unique modifiers from Ameria, which can then be re-rolled using the 'Reroll All' option to acquire some {{Skill|Fishing}} bonuses, consuming {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} and {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}} in the process.
#* For standard modifiers, aim for at least +5% Fishing Skill XP over all three modifiers.
#* For unique modifiers, aim for at least +5% Special Items chance from Fishing, or -3% Fishing Interval over both modifiers.
#: Please note that these are the '''overall''' bonuses across all standard or unique modifiers unlocked, not the suggested modifiers for a single slot. The chance of 5% in a single slot is 1 in 100, so don't attempt to roll for that.


# Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} by following as many of the steps outlined below as you're able to until you obtain one Mark of the {{ItemIcon|Ent}}, then craft Ent tablets until about {{SkillReq|Summoning|10}}. Use these tablets in {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until {{SkillReq|Summoning|15}} (using tablets grants more XP than crafting them) and you receive five more Mark of the Ent to unlock the Ent//Octopus {{Skill|Summoning|Synergy}}. Train {{Skill|Fishing}} until you receive one Mark of the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}.
These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses that work on other skills unlock in a specific order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill pages for how they provide buffs for combat skills.
#* [[Woodcutting#Axe Upgrades|Axe upgrades]] should be purchased as soon as possible, as they significantly decrease the amount of time required to cut all trees.
#* No matter what you're doing, try to ensure you always have tablets equipped, even if this means temporarily stopping whatever skill you are doing to create some more. Having a {{Skill|Summoning|Synergy}} that works in the skill you're training increases the amount of {{Skill|Summoning}} XP you gain per action.  


# Train {{Skill|Fishing}} with {{ItemIcon|Ent}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} equipped until both the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} have been acquired. It is likely that {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}} will have been reached by the time this happens due to the rarity of these rings.
A far more comprehensive list of what skills do can be found in the [[Beginners Guide]].
#* Create a small chunk of {{ItemIcon|Ent}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}. Remember to stop training Fishing if you need to create more tablets. All summoning tablets have a dropdown box to Select Recipe that changes which, and how many raw resources you consume per action.
#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}, equipping the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} if it drops as this reduces the catch time for all fish.
#* [[Fishing#Fishing Rods|Fishing Rods]] also provide a significant decrease to catch time and should be purchased as soon as they become available.
#* Keep any {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} gained along the way as these are required for a number of highly desirable things later, notably {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions|img=Diamond Luck Potion IV}} and the [[Agility#Obstacles|Ice Jump]] {{Skill|Agility}} obstacle.
#* Sell everything else acquired while Fishing, which should provide enough [[Currency#Gold Pieces|GP]] to fund fishing rod upgrades, the {{UpgradeIcon|Multi-Tree}} upgrade for later, and any other purchases such as additional bank slots.
#* Once you've obtained a decent nest egg of GP, you can begin saving any {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} and {{ItemIcon|Emerald|Emeralds}} and {{ItemIcon|Sapphire|Sapphires}} obtained through fishing, as these will be useful for Summoning {{ItemIcon|Devil|Devil tablets}} later, and for various other skills further down the line.
#* If possible, all gems can reasonably be saved at this point, and only sold in small quantities if necessary.
#*
#: Catching the following fish is suggested:
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale|Whales}} for gp (preferably with {{Skill|Summoning}}) and eventually so it can be cooked into food
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} are *very slightly* higher gp/h than whales without summoning. These should only be fished if you don't want to do support skills just yet, or if you want the higher special chance.
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish|Skeleton Fish}}, which can be redeemed for {{Skill|Prayer}} points,
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse|Seahorses}} if you don't care about anything but the highest number of special rolls per hour, which maximises the chance of acquiring both rings. This doesn't apply if you are able to catch {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish|Skeleton Fish}} or have reached {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}} to massively improve your money gains with the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}}.


# Consume any {{ItemIcon|Mastery Token (Fishing)|Mastery Tokens}} acquired to increase your {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Pool}}. When your {{Skill|Fishing}} mastery pool exceeds 95%, you can start spending your mastery pool to increase your {{Icon|Mastery}} level for individual fish. First, level ALL fish to at least level 20, then focus spending on whichever fish you're currently working on, if if it is below 88 Mastery.
If you wish to see how Skills effect other Skills please expand the column below.
#* Level 88 {{Icon|Mastery}} is an approximate point where spending mastery pool becomes inefficient, while you CAN use the pool to level an item higher than 88, it is recommended at that point to simply train the item until it hits 99 and spend your pool on other, lower leveled items.
#* Higher total {{Icon|Mastery}} levels across all items and all skills increase the rate at which you obtain certain rare items, so your first goal when hitting above 95% Pool in any skill should be to level as many items as possible as high as possible.


# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} further. Equip the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} and study {{Icon|Deedree|type=constellation}} until level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}. Once reached, re-roll modifiers as follows:
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
#* For {{Icon|Deedree|type=constellation}} aim for any {{Skill|Woodcutting}} bonuses - preferably increased Skill XP or Mastery XP for standard modifiers, and increased {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest}} drop rate for unique modifiers.
|+
#* For {{Icon|Ameria|type=constellation}} aim for any {{Skill|Firemaking}} bonuses - preferably increased Skill XP or Mastery XP for standard modifiers, and decreased Firemaking interval for unique modifiers.
|-
!Skill!!Description!!Order of unlocks for other skills
|-
|{{Skill|Astrology}}|| style="width: 50%" |This is the most straightforward Skill that buffs other skills. Study constellations to unlock "stars", then purchase permanent bonuses with {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}. ||* {{Skill|Farming}} <br> * {{Skill|Woodcutting}} <br> * {{Skill|Smithing}} <br> * {{Skill|Firemaking}} <br> * {{Skill|Fishing}} <br> * {{Skill|Mining}} <br> * {{Skill|Cooking}} <br> * {{AoD}}{{Skill|Cartography}} <br> * {{Skill|Archaeology}} <br> * {{Skill|Fletching}} <br> * {{Skill|Runecrafting}} <br> * {{Skill|Agility}} <br> * {{Skill|Thieving}} <br> * {{Skill|Crafting}} <br> * {{Skill|Herblore}} <br> * {{Skill|Summoning}} <br> * {{TotH}} {{Skill|Astrology}}
|-
|{{Skill|Summoning}}||Create Summoning familiars that provide a bonus to the corresponding skill, using a combination of materials that use ingredients from the skill and materials bought for {{GP}}. Much stronger bonuses utilizing [[synergies]] are unlocked as a reward for heavy usage of multiple familiars.||* {{Skill|Woodcutting}}  <br> * {{Skill|Mining}} <br> * {{Skill|Fishing}} <br> * {{Skill|Cooking}} <br> * {{Skill|Runecrafting}} <br> * {{Skill|Thieving}} <br> * {{Skill|Crafting}} <br> * {{Skill|Smithing}}  <br> * {{Skill|Herblore}} <br> * {{Skill|Firemaking}}  <br> * {{TotH}} {{Skill|Agility}} <br> * {{TotH}} {{Skill|Astrology}} <br> * {{TotH}} {{Skill|Fletching}}  <br> * {{TotH}} {{Skill|Summoning}}
|-
|{{Skill|Firemaking}}||Firemaking provides XP bonuses for all skills: Skill XP in the form of {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}}, and [[Mastery]] XP from the pool checkpoint and achieving 99 item mastery. It's also required to unlock better [[Cooking|cooking fires]].||* {{Skill|Cooking}}


# Alternate between training {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Firemaking}}. Equip the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} before starting. The ultimate goal here is {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}} to unlock the {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}}. Before getting too deep into woodcutting, be aware of the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}}; this amulet counts for completion, is very useful for skilling, and requires ''exact, low numbers'' of {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs|Redwood}} and {{ItemIcon|Maple Logs|Maple}} logs, it is likely best to simply skip {{ItemIcon|Maple Logs}} at this point.  
|-
#* [[Woodcutting#Axe Upgrades|Axe upgrades]] should be purchased as soon as possible, as they significantly decrease the amount of time required to cut all trees.
|{{Skill|Herblore}}||Most skills have at least one potion that provides a bonus. Potions provide passive effects while active, and consume one "charge" for each action performed in the relevant skill. ||* {{Skill|Firemaking}} - {{ItemIcon|Controlled Heat Potion}} <br> * {{Skill|Astrology}} - {{ItemIcon|Secret Stardust Potion}} <br> * {{Skill|Mining}} - {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion}} <br> * {{Skill|Agility}} - {{ItemIcon|Performance Enhancing Potion}} <br> * {{Skill|Runecrafting}} - {{ItemIcon|Elemental Potion}}
#* Skip {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}} due to the long cut time. This means using {{UpgradeIcon|Multi-Tree}} to simultaneously cut {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs|Redwood}} and {{ItemIcon|Yew Logs|Yew}} logs.
|-
#* Having {{ItemIcon|Ent}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} equipped will increase the number of {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} dropped and continue to grant you more summoning XP.
|{{Skill|Agility}}||Build obstacles that provide bonuses to specific skills. The higher your skill level, the more obstacles you can build, at higher tiers. These obstacles can be expensive in both {{GP}} and items, but they also provide some of the strongest bonuses in the game. There is no single "best" agility course.||Agility has bonuses for all skills in no particular order.
#* If you have reached {{SkillReq|Summoning|90}}, as soon as you obtain one Mark of the {{ItemIcon|Devil}} you can begin to craft them and use them for Firemaking to increase your summoning XP/action considerably and your Firemaking XP/h.
|}
#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} dropped for seeds, then begin training {{Skill|Farming}}. Once started, any planted seeds will grow in the background while training any other skill. Keep {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds}} for {{ItemIcon|Gentle Hands Potion|Gentle Hands Potions|img=Gentle Hands Potion IV}} used in {{Skill|Thieving}}, and keep {{ItemIcon|Watermelons}} for {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* Save any {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}} gained as these should be turned into {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}} later, burning only up to and including {{ItemIcon|Yew Logs}} to achieve {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}}.
#* Manually lighting bonfires is ''not'' recommended. Although doing so will increase the {{Skill|Firemaking}} Skill XP gained, this is very manual to maintain and uses significantly more logs. Lighting bonfires automatically by using {{ItemIcon|Controlled Heat Potion|Controlled Heat Potions|img=Controlled Heat Potion IV}} is however highly recommended if you are able to reach {{SkillReq|Herblore|20}} by creating only {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion|Bird Nest Potions|img=Bird Nest Potion IV}}, requiring {{ItemIcon|Garum Herb|Garum Herbs}} from {{Skill|Farming}} and {{ItemIcon|Potato Seeds}} from {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} to create.
#* After reaching {{SkillReq|Firemaking|15}}, train {{Skill|Agility}} until level 10 is reached. This will allow the Monkey Bars [[Agility#Obstacles|Agility obstacle]] to be created, providing a 4% decrease to the Firemaking interval.
#* After reaching {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|35}}<!--This is not a typo, the obstacle requires level 30 but also uses Teak logs to build, meaning for this guide the effective level requirement is 35--> and {{SkillReq|Firemaking|30}}, training {{Skill|Agility}} once more, this time until level 20 is reached for the purpose of creating the Stepping Stones obstacle. This obstacle provides both a 6% decrease to Woodcutting interval and a 3% increase to Firemaking skill XP.


# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} once more, this time until {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}} is reached in order to unlock many more bonuses. Re-roll any modifiers as you see fit, however try not to spend too much time re-rolling until all constellations are {{Icon|Mastery}} level 99, at which point all modifiers will be unlocked.
== Raw Material Gathering Skills ==


At this point, you have both ancient rings (providing +8% Skill or Mastery XP, depending on which is equipped), the {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} (providing +5% Skill XP to all skills), and a variety of other bonuses from {{Skill|Astrology}} and {{Skill|Agility}}.
These skills provide items that usually are necessary for training other skills. <br> {{Skill|Herblore}} and {{Skill|Agility}} aren't explicitly included because the materials for these skills come from everywhere.


The choices on what path to take next start to open up, some suggestions are:
If you wish to look at which Skills power which other Skills, please expand the table below.
* {{Skill|Thieving}} for [[Currency#Gold Pieces|GP]], and various [[Thieving#Areas|Area unique]] & [[Thieving#Thieving Targets|NPC unique]] items, a number of which provide various bonuses to other skills.
* {{Skill|Mining}}, {{Skill|Smithing}}, and {{Skill|Fletching}} for the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|notext=true}} [[Money Making#Fletching_Dragon_Javelins_with_Alt_Magic_.28Max_.7E9500k.2Fhr.29|Dragon Javelin money-making method]], which is one of the best in the game. This is where any saved {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}} from Woodcutting will be used. This will also allow you to spend any {{ItemIcon|Maple Logs}} in order to have the correct amount for the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}}.
* {{Skill|Agility}} to unlock further [[Agility#Obstacles|obstacles]], providing additional bonuses. Reaching any further than obstacle 5 or 6 may be difficult initially however, due to the significant cost of obstacles and various level requirements.

=Before Settling on Desired Gameplay=
 
Before we get into the actual different ways to play. It is advised to get a feel for the game and how each skill works / interacts with other skills by leveling each skill to around Level 30-40. Once done, you should have a better understanding of how the game works. The core game mechanics won't really change much at higher levels, just a bit more complex interactions. The process of leveling each skill to around level 35 should take only a few hours. Switch to {{Skill|Astrology}} if in doubt about where to go next.
 
# Open the {{Skill|Township}} menu and select a worship. {{MonsterIcon|Aeris}} grants the most useful benefits of the various gods.
#* {{Skill|Township}} is trained passively and will be important later, however, completely ignore it for now.
# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} until at least level 40.
#* Buy the the first 5 levels of the first [[Astrology#Modifiers|Star]] (the ones that give accuracy) in each [[Astrology#Constellations|Constellation]] ({{ConstellationIcon|Deedree}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Ameria}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Vale}}) if you have enough {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}.
#* This will grant 5% Skill experience and {{Icon|Mastery}} experience in {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Farming}}, {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Fishing}}, {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}} as well as 15% Global [[Accuracy]] and 5% Experience in {{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Strength}}
# Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Summoning}} at the same time.
#* Summoning is a very important skill that benefits all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping and using Summoning Familiars (tablets). It levels slowly while training other skills, and cannot really be sped up, making it an important skill to train early.
#* Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Ent}}.
#* Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy {{ItemIcon|Summoning Shard (Green)}} to make {{ItemIcon|Ent}} tablets.
#* Repeat (remember to change to {{ItemIcon|Oak Logs}} and {{ItemIcon|Willow Logs}} as they become available) until {{SkillReq|Summoning|15}}.
# Next, train {{Skill|Fishing}} and {{Skill|Cooking}} (and more {{Skill|Summoning}}).
#* The goal here it to gain enough {{GP}} to purchase the [[Shop]] upgrades for the first {{UpgradeIcon|Black Axe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Black Fishing Rod}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Black Pickaxe}}, {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Pig}} tablets, as well as some extra bank slots.
#* Once you get to roughly {{SkillReq|Fishing|23}} you should get enough {{GP}} to upgrade the Fishing Rod to the {{UpgradeIcon|Black Fishing Rod}}.
#* Train {{Skill|Fishing}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}.
#* Sell all [[Junk]] and about half of the fish, then make and equip some {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} tablets.
#* Continue training {{Skill|Fishing}} until {{SkillReq|Summoning|25}}.
#* Train {{Skill|Cooking}} using the fish caught in {{Skill|Fishing}} until you get your first mark of the {{ItemIcon|Pig}} (Requires {{SkillReq|Summoning|25}} to drop).
#* Make sure to save 300 {{ItemIcon|Raw Herring}} and 300 {{ItemIcon|Raw Salmon}} for the next section.
# Finally, train {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* This skill has bonuses for {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Cooking}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, {{Skill|Herblore}}, {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}} at low levels.
#* Switching {{Skill|Agility}} Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good source of income. Choose a single obstacle in each tier and leave them for now, optimizing Agility itself can come later.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|20}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pit Jump}} as your Tier 3 obstacle with the {{ItemIcon|Raw Salmon|notext=true}} {{ItemIcon|Raw Herring|notext=true}} fish you saved from the previous step. See the next section for more options in {{Skill|Agility}}.
# Follow these basic outlines to level rest of the skills to Level 30. Some Artisan Skills may pose an issue as the raw materials may not be accessible yet, come back to these later.
 
There are several ways to earn {{GP}} in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively.
The first {{GP|2500000}} should go to {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Multi-Tree}}, and a pair of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}
 
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|{{Skill|Thieving}}||54 / 57 / 77|| At appropriate levels Thieving provides very good income, but requires a bit of investment in the form of {{ItemIcon|Gloves of Silence}} or {{ItemIcon|Thieving Gloves}}, as well as time spent in Thieving to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}}, {{ItemIcon|Golbin Mask}}, {{ItemIcon|Thiever's Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Sneak-Ers}}. Enabling the "Continue Thieving on Stun" option if you have plenty of Food available
|-
|{{Skill|Fishing}}||??|| Fishing is an easy and accessible method to grind out the first few millions.
|-
|{{Skill|Mining}}||0|| Low Level Mining with {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} can provide passive income while mining, as well as providing raw gems for {{Skill|Crafting}}
|-
|{{AoD}} {{Skill|Mining}}||85||With {{AoD}}, Mining becomes a serious contender for early {{GP}}. {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} sells for {{GP|750}} each, which racks up quickly. {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion}} multiplies how much effective HP the rock has, and helps the player mine for much longer before waiting for the rock to respawn.

With this minor preparation of our skills, we're now ready to start choosing a way to play the game, be it Skilling or [[Combat]] you should be set for both!
 
=Ways To Play The Game=
 
There are several ways to play the game, depending on your goals and preferred gameplay. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it.
 
*[[#Laid Back|Laid back]]: Only logging in once/twice per day or at least not actively playing, knowing what to set your offline times to and what to do when online.
*[[#Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery|Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald/Atlas of Discovery]]: road to 100% completion. This will be combat focused, since it involves leveling as little non-combat as possible to rush {{PetIcon|Harold}}, after which skills and item collection will be done.
 
 
==Laid Back==
This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day.
If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much.
 
# We start off with a little preparing to do some minor [[Combat]].
#* This is where our [[Combat]] section starts. If time is of importance, it is suggested you progress through the Steps #2-5 until you want to take a break from the game. Continue on with step #6 until you feel like revisiting these Steps at a later time.
# Level {{Skill|Mining}} to Level 50. This gives us access to {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}.
#* Save all the [[Ore]] you mine for the next step.
# Level {{Skill|Smithing}} to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide [[Smithing/Training|here]].
#* At {{SkillReq|Smithing|57}} Smith 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, 1x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Gloves}} and a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Sword}}
#** Turn 1 set of these items in for [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #1]], this rewards a {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Shield}}, saving you some time needing to gather the {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}.
#** Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}} to (G) by pressing Upgrade in the bank (orange button on the right). The first step requires a certain amount of {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and the second upgrade will require {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}} after both those upgrades are done the items gain the [[Damage Reduction]] stat too. [[Gloves]] have no upgrades but do provide [[Evasion Rating]].
#*** This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=525}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=750}}.
# Sell all the Crafted {{Skill|Smithing}} Items and sell all the rest of your [[Ore|Ores]].
#* This should get you closer to {{GP|1000000}}.
#** Either go {{Skill|Fishing}} or mine {{ItemIcon|Crystal}} in {{Skill|Mining}} (Requires the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]]) until you reach {{GP|1000000}}
#** Once {{GP|1000000}} has been obtained, buy {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} from the [[Shop]].
#** If you still have some food from leveling {{Skill|Fishing}} to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat.
#** If you're out of [[Food]] Fish up some {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} and cook those in {{Skill|Cooking}} so they can be eaten.
#** To consume food, it must first be equipped through the [[Bank]] and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}} page.
#** If you skipped the "Level everything to Level 30" step, Craft some [[Bronze Equipment]] and level all your [[Melee]] Combat Skills to Level 5, then craft some [[Steel Equipment]] and level your Combat Skills to Level 20. {{MonsterIcon|Chicken}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} or {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}} are your suggested Targets. They don't do too much Damage and have relatively little Health.
#** The suggested target for now is the {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}. He drops Seeds which will be needed for {{Skill|Farming}}. With {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} and {{Skill|Hitpoints}} Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}} will {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} around {{ItemIcon|Shrimp|qty=420}} per hour. If you have higher healing food than {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} you will be using less than 420 per hour.
# Plant a few of your found [[Seeds]] in {{Skill|Farming}} [[Farming#Farming_Plots|Farming Plots]].
#* Be sure to this once every so often to passively Level {{Skill|Farming}}.
#** If you run out of [[Seeds]] that you can plant, you can always get more from the {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}.
# {{Skill|Astrology}} is our next Skill.
# The first large goal is to reach {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}}, this increases {{Icon|Mastery}} and {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} gains.
#* Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other [[Constellations]] when they unlock.
#* If they're close to Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}} it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}.
#* Once you're {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}} buy the {{ItemIcon|Astrology Skillcape}} from the [[Shop]] and equip it.
#* Keep training {{Skill|Astrology}} until all [[Constellations]] are at least Level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}, this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars.
#** There are a few [[Constellations]] where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} and Purchase all the stars, those are: {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}}, {{AoD}}{{ConstellationIcon|Nysa}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Arachi}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Ko}}.
#* If the {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is owned, this skill can go to Level 120.
#** In which case it's worth sticking to {{Skill|Astrology}}.
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Haemir}}’s benefits aren't all that useful at this point, however it does give the most xp/h so it's only purpose is to level {{Skill|Astrology}} faster if you're not at Level 110 yet.
#*** If you're already at {{SkillReq|Astrology|110}} you can completely ignore {{ConstellationIcon|Haemir}}, the rewards from this [[Constellations|Constellation]] will not provide any bonuses for now.
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Rosaniya}} is a very good [[Constellations|Constellation]] and should be fully maxed to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} and Purchase all the stars.
#** {{ConstellationIcon|Ashtar}} is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat. If you do combat in the times you are online, it is highly recommended you max out this [[Constellations|Constellation]] to 99 {{Icon|Mastery}} too and Purchase all the stars.
# The next step is to make some {{GP}}
#* This is the start of the Money Making Method, for an alternative Method go [[#Alternative_Money_Making_with_Atlas_of_Discovery|here]]
#** It is still advised you start by following the {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Fishing}} and {{Skill|Cooking}} steps first. As the other Method will take time to set up.
#* We start by {{Skill|Woodcutting}}.
#* Keep {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you find the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} [[Mark]]
#** Craft {{ItemIcon|Ent}} Tablets until you're out of wood.
#*** You'll need to buy some [[Summoning Shards]] from the [[Shop]], which you should have enough {{GP}} for from selling all the stuff you got from leveling everything to Level 30.
#*** You will need to craft at least 1 Tablet to be able obtain more [[Marks]] for the same Familiar.
#*** Equipping the Tablet doubles your chances of getting [[Marks]].
#* After the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} tablets have been crafted, equip them.
#* Then continue {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you find {{ItemIcon|Ent|Ent Mark Level 2}}.
#* Don't Sell your {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} for now. Keep {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs|qty=630}} in the [[Bank]], they will be needed later.
# {{Skill|Fishing}} is our next target.
#* Start by buying the {{UpgradeIcon|Iron Fishing Rod}} from the [[Shop]] for {{GP|100}}.
#* Buy further Fishing Rod upgrades when they unlock at Levels 10, 20, 35, 50, 60 and 80.
#* Fish the highest experience Fish you can, there is a list of the experience/second to be referenced [[Fishing#Fish| here]]. Alternatively you can installed the "ETA" [[Mods|Mod]] which will tell you exactly how much Experience per Hour you'll get on each Fish.
#* Just pick the highest one until you get to {{ItemIcon|Shark}} then keep fishing {{ItemIcon|Shark}} until {{SkillReq|Fishing|85}}
#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest}} you get in the hopes of getting a {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}. Equip it as soon as you find one.
#* When a {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}} is found, you should also Equip it as soon as possible.
#** At {{SkillReq|Fishing|85}} it is best to switch to {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}} until {{SkillReq|Fishing|95}}
#** At {{SkillReq|Fishing|95}} it is best to switch to {{ItemIcon|Whale}}
#* Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} until you find a {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Mark
#** Make a bunch of {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Tablets and Equip them in the other slot than where {{ItemIcon|Ent}} is equiped
#*** 2 different Familiars together offer what is called a Synergy, when the Synergy is active the arrows in between the 2 Familiars will turn Green. This means the Synergy is active, it will use 1 Skill Related Tablet per action (in this Case Octopus) and when the Synergy is Active it will use an additional Related Tablet and 1 Synergy Companion Tablet, so in short, it will use 2 {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and 1 {{ItemIcon|Ent}} as soon as the Synergy is active.
#**** Synergies require {{Skill|Summoning|Summoning Marks}} to be a certain Level, their current Level can be viewed in the {{Skill|Summoning}} Menu. In this Case with {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Ent}} it will require both [[Marks]] to be Level 2. As soon as you find enough {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} Marks for another Level, the Synergy will activate.
#** Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} until your {{Skill|Summoning}} reaches Level 25 and your {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} is Mark Level 3.
# Start by {{Skill|Cooking}} the [[Fish]] you caught in {{Skill|Fishing}}.
#** We're looking for {{ItemIcon|Pig}} [[Marks]] here
#** Once you receive your first Mark, craft some {{ItemIcon|Pig}} Tablets and continue {{Skill|Cooking}}.
#** Keep Cooking your Fish until your {{ItemIcon|Pig}} is Mark Level 3.
#*** If you run out of [[Fish]] you can buy {{ItemIcon|Bag of Flour}} and turn those into {{ItemIcon|Bread}}.
#*** For this the {{UpgradeIcon|Basic Furnace}} will be needed. If your {{ItemIcon|Pig}} is already at Mark Level 3, you can skip these steps for now and move on to point #6 .
#**** Go to {{Skill|Firemaking}} and burn {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs|qty=130}} to reach Level 15.
#**** Mine {{ItemIcon|Copper Ore|qty=500}} and {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore|qty=500}} in {{Skill|Mining}}.
#**** Smelt {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar|qty=500}} in {{Skill|Smithing}}
#**** Purchase the [[Shop]] Upgrade {{UpgradeIcon|Basic Furnace}}
#The {{Synergy|Pig|Octopus}} will give a 75% chance to give you a Cooked version of the Fish you're fishing.
#* Keep {{Skill|Fishing}} selling all the Raw and Cooked fish you obtain. Your goal is around {{GP|47000000}} to prepare for {{Skill|Agility}}
#* You can also keep {{Skill|Fishing}} for more {{GP}} to buy some [[Bank#Bank_Slots|Bank Slots]]. How many slots is up to the Player, a minimum of 100-150 would be suggested.
# This is also a good time to upgrade to {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier II}} for {{GP|5000000}} and then {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} for {{GP|20000000}}. This makes your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} more effective.
# Visit {{Skill|Township}} and check out the [[Tasks]] some are quite easy to do and very worth your time.
#* You can buy {{ItemIcon|Bar Box I}}, {{ItemIcon|Wood Box I}} and {{ItemIcon|Herb Box I}} after completing 40 [[Tasks]] and having Level 40 in the relevant skill. These boxes will help a lot while leveling {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Fletching}} and {{Skill|Herblore}}.
#* Now that you have a way to make {{GP}} start investing in your Town. Build buildings that increase your resource generation.
#** You can't completely mess up your Town, if you don't notice in time that one of your resources is running low and you're not producing very much of it, all that it is gonna do is cost you time. Production of resources never falls to 0 so you will be able to build some buildings eventually. It just might take time.
#** Looking up a Guide for how to build your Town is not needed, almost all guides relating to that are from before the rework of {{Skill|Township}} and are no longer relevant.
# {{Skill|Agility}} is next.
#* There is a whole list of items and Skill Requirements for this. This Guide will not go in detail where to obtain the items, you can click the items to view their sources and requirements.
#* The 3 required skills and {{Skill|Fishing}} have Guides next to them with tips on how to Level them,.
#* Keep in mind that things like {{ItemIcon|Agility Skillcape}} and the {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Pool Thresholds}} will lower the cost of items. These reductions are not calculated in these item requirements.
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Herring|qty=300}}
#* {{ItemIcon|Raw Salmon|qty=300}}
#* {{ItemIcon|Bones|qty=300}}
#* {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=500}}

#* {{SkillReq|Cartography|70}} - Has a Guide [[Cartography/Training|here]]
#* {{SkillReq|Fishing|70}} - Should already be covered in previous Steps.
#* {{SkillReq|Mining|70}} - Has a Guide [[Mining/Training|here]]
#* {{SkillReq|Firemaking|70}} - Has a Guide [[Firemaking/Training|here]]
#* Now to actually start {{Skill|Agility}}
#* Build {{AgilityIcon|Cargo Net}}
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|10}} build {{AgilityIcon|River Crossing}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}. Build {{AgilityIcon|Balance Beam}} if {{AoD}} is not owned.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|20}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pipe Climb}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|30}} build {{AgilityIcon|Gap Jump}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|40}} build {{AgilityIcon|Mountain Climb}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|50}} build {{AgilityIcon|Tree Balance}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|60}} build {{AgilityIcon|Heat Trap}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|70}} build {{AgilityIcon|A Lovely Jog}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}. If {{AoD}} is '''not''' owned, this is where we stop. Skip to step #17.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|80}} build {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}.
# The next Skill is {{Skill|Cartography}}
#* Visit [[Cartography/Training|This Wiki Page]] for more information on how to level it.
#* The goal here is {{SkillReq|Cartography|120}} and Full Hex {{Icon|Mastery}}.
#* If {{AoD}} is '''NOT''' owned, skip this step and go to step #17.
# Continue training {{Skill|Agility}}
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|90}} build {{AgilityIcon|Waterfall}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|99}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Skilling}} - Requires {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=3500}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=3500}}.
#* If {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is owned, we continue to {{SkillReq|Agility|120}}.
#* For this the following items and Skill Levels will be required.
#** {{SkillReq|Smithing|115}} - Has a minimal Guide [[Smithing/Training|here]].
#** {{SkillReq|Mining|120}} - Has a minimal Guide [[Mining/Training|here]]
#** {{SkillReq|Fishing|120}} - Has a Guide [[Fishing/Training|here]] if needed.
#** {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|120}} - Has a Guide [[Woodcutting/Training|here]].
#** {{ItemIcon|Corundumite Ore|qty=12500}}
#** {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Ore|qty=5000}}
#** {{ItemIcon|Oricha|qty=12500}}
#** {{ItemIcon|Terrorfish|qty=20000}}
#** {{ItemIcon|Divinite Ore|qty=20000}}
#** {{ItemIcon|Carrion Logs|qty=20000}}
#* At this point it is advised you level {{Skill|Crafting}} to Level 115 for access to {{ItemIcon|Stamina Pouch}}.
#** You can get {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag}} from {{Skill|Thieving}} or if you have the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] the better choice is to dig up {{ItemIcon|Ancient Woven Bags}} from {{POIIcon|Bazaar}} (Medium) and turn those in to {{ItemIcon|Basic Bag}} in {{Skill|Crafting}}.
#* To continue {{Skill|Agility}}. These aren't the most effective Obstacles but they are the easiest to build.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|100}} build {{AgilityIcon|Pit Maze}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|105}} build {{AgilityIcon|Forest Jog}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|110}} build {{AgilityIcon|Ice Trap}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|115}} build {{AgilityIcon|Forest Climb}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|118}} build {{AgilityIcon|Water Dive}} and continue training {{Skill|Agility}}.
#* At {{SkillReq|Agility|120}} build {{AgilityIcon|Elite Pillar of Expertise}}
# The final Skill covered in this Guide is {{Skill|Firemaking}}.
#* Has a Guide [[Firemaking/Training|here]].
#* {{Skill|Firemaking}} has 2 main benefits that effect almost all other Skills.
#** The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} grants 5% increased experience when worn. (8% for the {{ItemIcon|Superior Firemaking Skillcape}}).
#** The second benefit is {{Icon|Mastery|Global Mastery Bonus}}.
#*** The {{Icon|Mastery|95% Pool Mastery}} threshold grant 5% {{Icon|Mastery}} bonus.
#*** Every [[Log]] brought to {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Level 99}} grant an additional 0.25% bonus {{Icon|Mastery}}.
# This is where the Guide ends. Feel free to look up how to level other Skills by visiting their Guides.
#* The order in which Skills get leveled does not matter a whole lot, as the remaining Skills don't have Global Bonusses. There is however a relationship between Gathering and Artisan Skills, this can be found [[#Raw Material Gathering Skills|here]].
# When you're active and online it is advised you do some Combat. Especially at the start Combat sessions don't last long and desired items are gotten rather quickly.
#* You can also follow the [[#Combat_Focus_for_Max_efficiency_with_Throne_of_the_Herald_/_Age_of_Discover|Combat Focused Guide]] from this point, you'll have a leg up when you start that after following this Guide, just skip the steps you've already done.
# Please don't forget to return to the Step you were on when you're going offline again. Offline Combat can kill you if you run out of [[Food]].
 
 
===Alternative Money Making with Atlas of Discovery===
This takes a while to set up due to having to grow [[Herbs]] to level {{Skill|Herblore}}. There is a guide to leveling {{Skill|Herblore}} [[Herblore/Training|here]]. <br>
It is however much more {{GP}} per hour than {{Skill|Fishing}}.
# Start by leveling {{Skill|Mining}} to Level 85.
#* Make sure to buy all the [[Mining#Pickaxes|Pickaxe Upgrades]] from the [[Shop]].
#* Craft a {{ItemIcon|Mole}} Tablet as soon as you receive the [[Marks|Mark]].
# Level {{Skill|Herblore}} to Level 53.
#* Craft {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion}}, preferably until you reach {{MasteryReq|Perfect Swing Potion IV|90}}.
#** The higher Tier Potion, the better effect you're getting.
# Buy {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} from the [[Shop]].
#* Keep an eye out for how many charges you have left on your gloves, they double all the {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} you get.
# Mine {{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal}} for profit and sell them all.
#* This will net you approximately 4 to 39.5 Million {{GP}} per hour.
#** Ways to increase the profit per hour can be found [[Money_Making/Mining_Pure_Crystal#Improves_GP_Rate|here]]
 
==Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery==
 
This Method aims at clearing {{ZoneIcon|Throne of the Herald}} as soon as possible for the {{PetIcon|Harold}} pet. This gives:  
* Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25%
*2% Global Interval reduction
* 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction
*5% Global Mastery Gain
*as well as many more useful things.
 
Doing this first has many benefits to every skill.
 
This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush {{PetIcon|Harold}} for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game.
 
It is recommended you completely ignore {{Skill|Township}} buildings after setting {{MonsterIcon|Aeris}} as your [[Worship]].
*Keeping {{Skill|Township}} low will allow for cheaper rerolls of [[Township#Casual_Tasks|Casual Tasks]].
*We will be using these [[Township#Casual_Tasks|Casual Tasks]] for free {{SC}}[[Slayer Coins]].
*Tasks that provide {{SC}}[[Slayer Coins]] will reward {{SC|1000}} per {{Skill|Slayer}} Level.
**{{Skill|Township}} Level has no influence on that.
*Once you feel you no longer need the [[Food]], [[Prayer Points]], [[Bolts]] or [[Arrows]] from them, and you have a decent Gold {{GP}} income, feel free to start leveling {{Skill|Township}}.
 
 
Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Skill!!Level!!Reason
|-
|{{Skill|Astrology}}||60|| Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles) <br>in the [[Constellations]] {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Vale}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Syllia}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Arachi}}. If there is not enough {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} obtained, try to balance out where you spend it and maximize the amount of [[Accuracy]] Gained. <br> It is worth it to keep training {{Skill|Astrology}} above Level 60 to obtain more {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}.
|-
|{{Skill|Runecrafting}}||85|| For {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient Runes}} & decently crafted [[Wizard Equipment]].
|-
|{{Skill|Mining}} & {{Skill|Smithing}}||40||At 40 {{Skill|Mining}} and 40 {{Skill|Smithing}} you can mine & craft {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}, which are required to upgrade [[Melee]] Armour to (G), so they actually get their [[Damage Reduction]].
|-
|{{Skill|Agility}}||70||To start with {{SkillReq|Agility|50}} will be enough. {{SkillReq|Agility|99}} should be the aim once {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} is beaten.
|}
 
Later Aims should be:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Skill!!Level!!Reason
|-
|{{Skill|Herblore}} or {{Skill|Cartography}}||90||Both these Skills grant access to {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} which is very helpful, especially in the {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]. <br> When {{Skill|Herblore}} is chosen it will also need {{MasteryReq|Damage Reduction Potion IV|90}}. In {{Skill|Cartography}} 1000 can be  obtained at {{Hex|31|19}} {{POIIcon|The Sand-Covered Treasure}}. These can be turned in for {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV|qty=5000}} with [[Township/Tasks#Hard|Township Task Hard 15]].
|-
|{{Skill|Archaeology}}||90||Only when also doing {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}}, since this allows access to {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} which has the very powerful {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}. This is quite a grind but well worth it; the weapon shreds through Throne of the Herald content
|-
|{{Skill|Archaeology}}|| 118||'''This is highly Optional''' Not required but very fun to play with, {{ItemIcon|Merman Pendant}} and {{ItemIcon|Pirate Hook}} are 2 very powerful items only obtainable from very high {{Skill|Archaeology}}. You can defeat the entire game without them, they will however make some parts of the game faster/more fun.
|-
|}
 
====Starting Off Your Journey====
 
Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with {{Skill|Astrology}} at level 60, {{Skill|Agility}} at Level 50, {{Skill|Runecrafting}} at Level 85 and {{Skill|Mining}} & {{Skill|Smithing}} at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey.
<!-- Original: It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30. I have assumed that 30 is a typo and replaced it with 5 - please revise -->
 
#It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30.
#* If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some {{MonsterIcon|Chicken}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} or {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}} to get to at least {{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Defence}} Level 5.
#* Craft some [[Steel Equipment]] and upgrade it twice with {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} to it's (G) version so it gets the [[Damage Reduction]].
#**Equip the armour and continue your Combat.
#**It is suggested to do [[Slayer Task|Slayer Tasks]]. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do.
# When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to [[Mithril Equipment]]. Seeing as our {{Skill|Mining}} and {{Skill|Smithing}} isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}}.
#*Collect: 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, 1x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody}}, 2x {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and 2x{{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}}.
#**Turn 1 set of these items in for [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #1]], this rewards a {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Shield}}, saving you some time needing to gather the {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}}.
#**Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}} to (G) the normal way so they get [[Damage Reduction]] too.
#***This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=525}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=750}}.
#Continue Farming {{Skill|Slayer}} while leveling your Combat Skills.
#*Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for [[Rune Equipment]], completely skipping [[Adamant Equipment]].
#**We also can't craft [[Rune Equipment]] so we'll be getting it from {{MonsterIcon|Rune Knight}}.
#**This will be the last [[Melee]] [[Armour]] Set needed before upgrading to [[God Equipment]].
#**A good Weapon alternative at this point is {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} or {{ItemIcon|Ice Dagger}} or {{ItemIcon|Ice Battleaxe}}. This can be obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Frozen Cove}}.
#***A {{ItemIcon|Rune Claw}} would also be a very good weapon but requires some {{Icon|Barrier}} combat.
#**Upgrade the {{ItemIcon|Rune Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Rune Shield}} to (G).
#*** This will require {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|qty=2000}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|qty=3750}}.
#You will also need to level your {{Skill|Magic}} and {{Skill|Ranged}}.
#*{{Skill|Magic}} [[Wizard Equipment|Wizard Armour]] you can craft in {{Skill|Runecrafting}}.
#**Simply craft the highest [[Wizard Equipment|Wizard Armour]] you can craft that matches the Element of the highest Spell you can Cast. This will increase the Minimum Damage of the Spell.
#**A {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Powerful)}} can be crafted by upgrading {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Basic)|qty=100}} 
#***Or as a drop from {{MonsterIcon|Angel}} or {{MonsterIcon|Dark Wizard}}, which are both {{Skill|Magic}} enemies and can be rather rough unless your {{Skill|Ranged}} is already decently leveled.
#*[[D-Hide Equipment]] is slightly harder to come by. For this, {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} needs to be cleared several times
#**This drops [[D-Hide_Equipment#Green D-Hide|Green D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 40), [[D-Hide_Equipment#Blue D-Hide|Blue D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 50), [[D-Hide_Equipment#Red D-Hide|Red D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 60) and [[D-Hide_Equipment#Black D-Hide|Black D-Hide Equipment]] (Level 70).
#**Clearing {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} 30 times rewards {{SC|10000}}, {{GP|25000}} and a {{ItemIcon|(U) Green D-hide Body}} through [[Township/Tasks#Normal|Normal Township Task #3]]
#**{{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} also drops in this dungeon. When worn this item loots all items directly into your bank instead of the Loot Box. 
#***It is recommended you keep {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting|qty=5}} for the {{UpgradeIcon|Loot Container Stacking}} later on.
#***There is also a [[Township/Tasks|Township Task]] to turn one in, although this only provides {{GP|25000}} and is not worth it at this time.
#** You can get a {{ItemIcon|Adamant Crossbow}}, {{ItemIcon|Rune Crossbow}} or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Crossbow}} by thieving {{Icon|Marauder|type=thieving}} at {{SkillReq|Thieving|21}}.
#**An easy way to get [[Bolts]] is by buying [[Slayer Resupplies]]. This will also provide you [[Prayer Points]] and some [[Food]].
#At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks until you reach {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|77}}.
#*At {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|77}} you're set to start {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, you can find a guide [[Volcanic_Cave/Guide|here]].
# This is where this guide ends. You should have grasped the basics of Combat and Upgrading at this point.
#*Further [[Guides]] can be found with each [[Dungeons|Dungeon]]. They all have a list of recommended/required [[Equipment]] and Skill Levels.
#* The Dungeon Guides have been kept as low as possible on the Requirements and Gear needed.
#*If you want to know what the next objectives are, look at the Next Dungeon guide. This should give you Items and Skill Levels to aim for.
# After defeating {{ZoneIcon|Throne of the Herald}}.
#* Fully max out {{Skill|Cartography}} if {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] is owned. Including Hex Mastery.
#* Level {{Skill|Agility}} to Level 120. Guide to which obstacles to pick for minimum effort/other skills can be found [[#Laid_Back|here at step 15]].
#** It is suggested to get {{Skill|Crafting}} to Level 115 for {{ItemIcon|Stamina Pouch}} to lower interval even further.
#* You will need several Skills at high Levels to be able to build {{Skill|Agility}} Obstacles.
#* Build your {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Expertise}} when available.

There is no right or wrong way to progress in the game, and you will rarely, if ever, be punished for experimenting. Melvor Idle is about the journey not the destination. This guide gives one method for how to start your Melvor Idle journey. The goal is to give players a helping hand in the early stages of the game. It is not a complete walkthrough, nor optimal for all play styles.

Why not to use this guide?

This guide is intended for Standard and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hardcore Game Modes:

Before you start

In general:

  • You should expect some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
  • Melvor Idle has true offline progression, when the game is opened after being turned off, it will automatically calculate the difference in time and reward all progress made in the time spent offline up to 24 hours.
    • If you find the 24 hour timespan too limiting, it can be extended with the "Unlimited Offline" Mod. Longer periods of inactivity may lead to long load times.
    • Mods to any game always come with inherent risk, use your own discretion before downloading mods and keep regular backups.

Skills That Buff Other Skills

These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses that work on other skills unlock in a specific order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill pages for how they provide buffs for combat skills.

A far more comprehensive list of what skills do can be found in the Beginners Guide.

If you wish to see how Skills effect other Skills please expand the column below.

Before Settling on Desired Gameplay

Before we get into the actual different ways to play. It is advised to get a feel for the game and how each skill works / interacts with other skills by leveling each skill to around Level 30-40. Once done, you should have a better understanding of how the game works. The core game mechanics won't really change much at higher levels, just a bit more complex interactions. The process of leveling each skill to around level 35 should take only a few hours. Switch to
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology if in doubt about where to go next.
  1. Open the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township     menu and select a worship. Aeris grants the most useful benefits of the various gods.
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Township       is trained passively and will be important later, however, completely ignore it for now.
  2. Train
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology     until at least level 40.
    • Buy the the first 5 levels of the first Star (the ones that give accuracy) in each Constellation (
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Deedree      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Iridan      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ameria      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Terra       and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Vale      ) if you have enough Stardust.
    • This will grant 5% Skill experience and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery       experience in
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Farming      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Smithing      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing

      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mining       as well as 15% Global Accuracy and 5% Experience in
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Attack       and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Strength
  3. Train
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting     and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning     at the same time.
    • Summoning is a very important skill that benefits all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping and using Summoning Familiars (tablets). It levels slowly while training other skills, and cannot really be sped up, making it an important skill to train early.
    • Train
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting       until you get your first mark of the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent      .
    • Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy Summoning Shard (Green) to make
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent       tablets.
    • Repeat (remember to change to Oak Logs and Willow Logs as they become available) until
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 15      .
  4. Next, train
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing     and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking     (and more
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning    ).
    • The goal here it to gain enough GP to purchase the Shop upgrades for the first
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Black Axe      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Black Fishing Rod      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Black Pickaxe      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus       and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pig       tablets, as well as some extra bank slots.
    • Once you get to roughly
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 23       you should get enough GP to upgrade the Fishing Rod to the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Black Fishing Rod      .
    • Train
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       until you get your first mark of the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus      .
    • Sell all Junk and about half of the fish, then make and equip some
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus       tablets.
    • Continue training
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       until
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 25      .
    • Train
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cooking       using the fish caught in
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       until you get your first mark of the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pig       (Requires
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 25       to drop).
    • Make sure to save 300 Raw Herring and 300 Raw Salmon for the next section.
  5. Finally, train
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility    .
    • This skill has bonuses for
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cooking      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Herblore      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Firemaking      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mining       at low levels.
    • Switching
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility       Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good source of income. Choose a single obstacle in each tier and leave them for now, optimizing Agility itself can come later.
    • At
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 20       build
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pit Jump       as your Tier 3 obstacle with the fish you saved from the previous step. See the next section for more options in
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility      .
  6. Follow these basic outlines to level rest of the skills to Level 30. Some Artisan Skills may pose an issue as the raw materials may not be accessible yet, come back to these later.

There are several ways to earn GP in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively.

The first 2,500,000GP should go to
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Auto Eat,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree, and a pair of Gem Gloves
Skill Level Method Comment
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving		 54 / 57 / 77 At appropriate levels Thieving provides very good income, but requires a bit of investment in the form of Gloves of Silence or Thieving Gloves, as well as time spent in Thieving to obtain the Chapeau Noir, Golbin Mask, Thiever's Cape, Sneak-Ers. Enabling the "Continue Thieving on Stun" option if you have plenty of Food available
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing		 ?? Fishing is an easy and accessible method to grind out the first few millions.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining		 0 Low Level Mining with Gem Gloves can provide passive income while mining, as well as providing raw gems for
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Crafting
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining		 85 With , Mining becomes a serious contender for early GP. Pure Crystal sells for 750GP each, which racks up quickly. Perfect Swing Potion multiplies how much effective HP the rock has, and helps the player mine for much longer before waiting for the rock to respawn.

With this minor preparation of our skills, we're now ready to start choosing a way to play the game, be it Skilling or Combat you should be set for both!

Ways To Play The Game

There are several ways to play the game, depending on your goals and preferred gameplay. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it.


Laid Back

This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day. If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much.

  1. We start off with a little preparing to do some minor Combat.
    • This is where our Combat section starts. If time is of importance, it is suggested you progress through the Steps #2-5 until you want to take a break from the game. Continue on with step #6 until you feel like revisiting these Steps at a later time.
  2. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining     to Level 50. This gives us access to Mithril Ore.
    • Save all the Ore you mine for the next step.
  3. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing     to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide here.
  4. Sell all the Crafted
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing     Items and sell all the rest of your Ores.
    • This should get you closer to 1,000,000GP.
      • Either go
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing         or mine Crystal in
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mining         (Requires the Atlas of Discovery Expansion) until you reach 1,000,000GP
      • Once 1,000,000GP has been obtained, buy
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat         from the Shop.
      • If you still have some food from leveling
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing         to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat.
      • If you're out of Food Fish up some Shrimp and cook those in
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking         so they can be eaten.
      • To consume food, it must first be equipped through the Bank and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Combat         or
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Thieving         page.
      • If you skipped the "Level everything to Level 30" step, Craft some Bronze Equipment and level all your Melee Combat Skills to Level 5, then craft some Steel Equipment and level your Combat Skills to Level 20. Chicken, Cow or Golbin are your suggested Targets. They don't do too much Damage and have relatively little Health.
      • The suggested target for now is the Master Farmer. He drops Seeds which will be needed for
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Farming        . With
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat         and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Hitpoints         Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing Master Farmer will
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat         around 420 Shrimp per hour. If you have higher healing food than Shrimp you will be using less than 420 per hour.
  5. Plant a few of your found Seeds in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Farming     Farming Plots.
    • Be sure to this once every so often to passively Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Farming      .
      • If you run out of Seeds that you can plant, you can always get more from the Master Farmer.
  6. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology     is our next Skill.
  7. The first large goal is to reach
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 99    , this increases
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery     and Stardust gains.
    • Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other Constellations when they unlock.
    • If they're close to Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery       it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery      .
    • Once you're
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 99       buy the Astrology Skillcape from the Shop and equip it.
    • Keep training
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Astrology       until all Constellations are at least Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery      , this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars.
      • There are a few Constellations where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery         and Purchase all the stars, those are:
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Iridan        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Terra        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Nysa        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Arachi         and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ko        .
    • If the Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned, this skill can go to Level 120.
      • In which case it's worth sticking to
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Astrology        .
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Haemir        ’s benefits aren't all that useful at this point, however it does give the most xp/h so it's only purpose is to level
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Astrology         faster if you're not at Level 110 yet.
        • If you're already at
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
           Level 110           you can completely ignore
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Haemir          , the rewards from this Constellation will not provide any bonuses for now.
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Rosaniya         is a very good Constellation and should be fully maxed to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery         and Purchase all the stars.
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ashtar         is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat. If you do combat in the times you are online, it is highly recommended you max out this Constellation to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery         too and Purchase all the stars.
  8. The next step is to make some GP
    • This is the start of the Money Making Method, for an alternative Method go here
      • It is still advised you start by following the
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Woodcutting        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing         and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking         steps first. As the other Method will take time to set up.
    • We start by
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting      .
    • Keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting       until you find the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent       Mark
      • Craft
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ent         Tablets until you're out of wood.
        • You'll need to buy some Summoning Shards from the Shop, which you should have enough GP for from selling all the stuff you got from leveling everything to Level 30.
        • You will need to craft at least 1 Tablet to be able obtain more Marks for the same Familiar.
        • Equipping the Tablet doubles your chances of getting Marks.
    • After the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent       tablets have been crafted, equip them.
    • Then continue
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting       until you find
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent Mark Level 2      .
    • Don't Sell your Normal Logs for now. Keep 630 Normal Logs in the Bank, they will be needed later.
  9. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing     is our next target.
    • Start by buying the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Iron Fishing Rod       from the Shop for 100GP.
    • Buy further Fishing Rod upgrades when they unlock at Levels 10, 20, 35, 50, 60 and 80.
    • Fish the highest experience Fish you can, there is a list of the experience/second to be referenced here. Alternatively you can installed the "ETA" Mod which will tell you exactly how much Experience per Hour you'll get on each Fish.
    • Just pick the highest one until you get to Shark then keep fishing Shark until
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 85
    • Open any Treasure Chest you get in the hopes of getting a
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Amulet of Fishing      . Equip it as soon as you find one.
    • When a Pirates Lost Ring is found, you should also Equip it as soon as possible.
      • At
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
         Level 85         it is best to switch to Manta Ray until
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
         Level 95
      • At
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
         Level 95         it is best to switch to Whale
    • Keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       until you find a
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus       Mark
      • Make a bunch of
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Octopus         Tablets and Equip them in the other slot than where
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ent         is equiped
        • 2 different Familiars together offer what is called a Synergy, when the Synergy is active the arrows in between the 2 Familiars will turn Green. This means the Synergy is active, it will use 1 Skill Related Tablet per action (in this Case Octopus) and when the Synergy is Active it will use an additional Related Tablet and 1 Synergy Companion Tablet, so in short, it will use 2
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Octopus           and 1
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Ent           as soon as the Synergy is active.
          • Synergies require
            Error creating thumbnail: File missing
            Summoning Marks             to be a certain Level, their current Level can be viewed in the
            Error creating thumbnail: File missing
            Summoning             Menu. In this Case with
            Error creating thumbnail: File missing
            Octopus             and
            Error creating thumbnail: File missing
            Ent             it will require both Marks to be Level 2. As soon as you find enough
            Error creating thumbnail: File missing
            Octopus             Marks for another Level, the Synergy will activate.
      • Keep
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing         until your
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Summoning         reaches Level 25 and your
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Octopus         is Mark Level 3.
  10. Start by
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking     the Fish you caught in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing    .
      • We're looking for
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig         Marks here
      • Once you receive your first Mark, craft some
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig         Tablets and continue
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking        .
      • Keep Cooking your Fish until your
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig         is Mark Level 3.
        • If you run out of Fish you can buy Bag of Flour and turn those into Bread.
        • For this the
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Basic Furnace           will be needed. If your
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Pig           is already at Mark Level 3, you can skip these steps for now and move on to point #6 .
  11. The
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Pig     SynergyIcon.png
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Octopus     will give a 75% chance to give you a Cooked version of the Fish you're fishing.
    • Keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       selling all the Raw and Cooked fish you obtain. Your goal is around 47,000,000GP to prepare for
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
    • You can also keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing       for more GP to buy some Bank Slots. How many slots is up to the Player, a minimum of 100-150 would be suggested.
  12. This is also a good time to upgrade to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier II     for 5,000,000GP and then
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier III     for 20,000,000GP. This makes your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat     more effective.
  13. Visit
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township     and check out the Tasks some are quite easy to do and very worth your time.
    • You can buy Bar Box I, Wood Box I and Herb Box I after completing 40 Tasks and having Level 40 in the relevant skill. These boxes will help a lot while leveling
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Smithing      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fletching       and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Herblore      .
    • Now that you have a way to make GP start investing in your Town. Build buildings that increase your resource generation.
      • You can't completely mess up your Town, if you don't notice in time that one of your resources is running low and you're not producing very much of it, all that it is gonna do is cost you time. Production of resources never falls to 0 so you will be able to build some buildings eventually. It just might take time.
      • Looking up a Guide for how to build your Town is not needed, almost all guides relating to that are from before the rework of
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Township         and are no longer relevant.
  14. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility     is next.

  18. This is where the Guide ends. Feel free to look up how to level other Skills by visiting their Guides.
    • The order in which Skills get leveled does not matter a whole lot, as the remaining Skills don't have Global Bonusses. There is however a relationship between Gathering and Artisan Skills, this can be found here.
  19. When you're active and online it is advised you do some Combat. Especially at the start Combat sessions don't last long and desired items are gotten rather quickly.
    • You can also follow the Combat Focused Guide from this point, you'll have a leg up when you start that after following this Guide, just skip the steps you've already done.
  20. Please don't forget to return to the Step you were on when you're going offline again. Offline Combat can kill you if you run out of Food.


Alternative Money Making with Atlas of Discovery

This takes a while to set up due to having to grow Herbs to level
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore. There is a guide to leveling
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore here.
It is however much more GP per hour than
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing.
  1. Start by leveling
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining     to Level 85.
    • Make sure to buy all the Pickaxe Upgrades from the Shop.
    • Craft a
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mole       Tablet as soon as you receive the Mark.
  2. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore     to Level 53.
    • Craft Perfect Swing Potion, preferably until you reach
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 90      .
      • The higher Tier Potion, the better effect you're getting.
  3. Buy Mining Gloves from the Shop.
    • Keep an eye out for how many charges you have left on your gloves, they double all the Pure Crystal you get.
  4. Mine Pure Crystal for profit and sell them all.
    • This will net you approximately 4 to 39.5 Million GP per hour.
      • Ways to increase the profit per hour can be found here

Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Atlas of Discovery

This Method aims at clearing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Throne of the Herald as soon as possible for the Harold pet. This gives:
  • Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25%
  • 2% Global Interval reduction
  • 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction
  • 5% Global Mastery Gain
  • as well as many more useful things.

Doing this first has many benefits to every skill.

This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush Harold for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game.

It is recommended you completely ignore
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township buildings after setting Aeris as your Worship.
  • Keeping
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township     low will allow for cheaper rerolls of Casual Tasks.
  • We will be using these Casual Tasks for free SCSlayer Coins.
  • Tasks that provide SCSlayer Coins will reward 1,000SC per
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer     Level.
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Township       Level has no influence on that.
  • Once you feel you no longer need the Food, Prayer Points, Bolts or Arrows from them, and you have a decent Gold GP income, feel free to start leveling
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township    .


Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills:

Skill Level Reason
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology		 60 Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles)
in the Constellations
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Iridan,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Terra,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Vale,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Syllia and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Arachi. If there is not enough Stardust obtained, try to balance out where you spend it and maximize the amount of Accuracy Gained.
It is worth it to keep training
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology above Level 60 to obtain more Stardust.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting		 85 For Ancient Runes & decently crafted Wizard Equipment.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining &
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing		 40 At 40
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining and 40
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing you can mine & craft Silver Bar and Gold Bar, which are required to upgrade Melee Armour to (G), so they actually get their Damage Reduction.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility		 70 To start with
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Level 50 will be enough.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Level 99 should be the aim once
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event is beaten.

Later Aims should be:

Skill Level Reason
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore or
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography		 90 Both these Skills grant access to Damage Reduction Potion IV which is very helpful, especially in the Throne of the Herald Expansion.
When
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore is chosen it will also need
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Level 90. In
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography 1000 can be obtained at (31, 19) The Sand-Covered Treasure. These can be turned in for 5,000 Damage Reduction Potion IV with Township Task Hard 15.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology		 90 Only when also doing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Level 90, since this allows access to Underwater Ruins which has the very powerful Engulfing Vortex Longbow. This is quite a grind but well worth it; the weapon shreds through Throne of the Herald content
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology		 118 This is highly Optional Not required but very fun to play with, Merman Pendant and Pirate Hook are 2 very powerful items only obtainable from very high
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology. You can defeat the entire game without them, they will however make some parts of the game faster/more fun.

Starting Off Your Journey

Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology at level 60,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility at Level 50,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting at Level 85 and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining &
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey.
  1. It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30.
    • If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some Chicken, Cow or Golbin to get to at least
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Attack       and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Defence       Level 5.
    • Craft some Steel Equipment and upgrade it twice with Silver Bar and Gold Bar to it's (G) version so it gets the Damage Reduction.
      • Equip the armour and continue your Combat.
      • It is suggested to do Slayer Tasks. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do.
  2. When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to Mithril Equipment. Seeing as our
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining     and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing     isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from Mithril Knight.
  3. Continue Farming
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer     while leveling your Combat Skills.
  4. You will also need to level your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic     and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged    .
  5. At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer     tasks until you reach
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 77    .
    • At
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
       Level 77       you're set to start
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Volcanic Cave      , you can find a guide here.
  6. This is where this guide ends. You should have grasped the basics of Combat and Upgrading at this point.
    • Further Guides can be found with each Dungeon. They all have a list of recommended/required Equipment and Skill Levels.
    • The Dungeon Guides have been kept as low as possible on the Requirements and Gear needed.
    • If you want to know what the next objectives are, look at the Next Dungeon guide. This should give you Items and Skill Levels to aim for.
  7. After defeating
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Throne of the Herald    .
    • Fully max out
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cartography       if Atlas of Discovery Expansion is owned. Including Hex Mastery.
    • Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility       to Level 120. Guide to which obstacles to pick for minimum effort/other skills can be found here at step 15.
      • It is suggested to get
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Crafting         to Level 115 for Stamina Pouch to lower interval even further.
    • You will need several Skills at high Levels to be able to build
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility       Obstacles.
    • Build your
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pillar of Expertise       when available.
