There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of GP gain. '''Please refer to each section to see if that method has been updated for the current game version or not.'''

! Know of a good money making method?
For the game version 1.0, the methods below are still viable and have roughly the same power. That means that the most profitable method remains on top, but it could yield a different amount of money compared to what is written there.
<inputbox>
 
type=create
'''Beginners''' are advised to start with [[#Fishing|Fishing]] because it doesn't require any additional skills to level, gives viable GP yields, and is the only source of {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} that are very helpful in the long run.

=== Method ===
# Mine {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} and {{ItemIcon|Runite Ore}} in a 1:2 ratio, ideally with {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} equipped, and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV|Perfect Swing Potion}} active.
# Mine {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} while {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are equipped. No need for the potion because {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} respawns fast.
# Cut {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}}. You can enable {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion IV}} to sell the {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} afterwards.
# Runecraft {{ItemIcon|Fire Rune|Fire Runes}}, {{ItemIcon|Nature Rune|Nature Runes}}, and {{ItemIcon|Spirit Rune|Spirit Runes}} in a 7:2:3 ratio.
# Smelt {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Bar|Dragonite Bars}} using {{Icon|type=spell|Superheat IV}} while {{ItemIcon|Magic Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Mystic Earth Staff}} are equipped (avoids the need for any {{ItemIcon|Earth Rune|Earth Runes}}).
# Smith {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin Heads}}. For a better GP rate, equip {{ItemIcon|Crown of Rhaelyx}} and use {{ItemIcon|Charge Stone of Rhaelyx|Charge Stones}}.
# Fletch {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}} while the {{ItemIcon|Fletching Skillcape}} is equipped and {{ItemIcon|Skilled Fletching Potion IV}} is active. Using {{ItemIcon|Charge Stone of Rhaelyx|Charge Stones}} while the {{ItemIcon|Crown of Rhaelyx}} is equipped during this step provides a significant increase to the GP rate.
 
== Smithing Dragon Platebodies (Max 2117k/hr) ==
{{OldStrategy|0.14}}
=== Requirements ===
* {{SkillReq|Mining|99}}
* {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}}
* {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}
* {{ItemIcon|Smithing Skillcape}}
* [[Dragon Pickaxe]]
* 500k GP to purchase {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}
 
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* Making [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] more than doubles their value. This requires:
** Level 99 [[Herblore]]
** Level 80 [[Farming]]
* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] for a 10% chance to double ore, bar, platebody, and potion gains
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.
** Level 53 [[Herblore]]
** Level 50 [[Farming]]
* Increasing [[Mastery]] Level of items provide additional resource-saving and doubling benefits.
=== Method ===
# Gather [[Dragonite Ore]], [[Runite Ore]] and [[Coal Ore]] in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the [[Mining Skillcape]]. Depending on [[Mastery]] Levels and whether or not [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] are being made, either [[Gem Gloves]] or [[Mining Gloves]] should be worn.
# Make [[Dragonite Bar|Dragonite Bars]] while wearing the [[Smithing Skillcape]].
# Make [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]]
# Make the [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] if possible.
# Sell the [[Mining#Gems|Gems]], [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] and [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]] for profit
=== GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery ===
The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the [[Barrentoe Herb|Barrentoe Herbs]] for creating [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

=== Calculating the GP Rate ===
The Skill requirements listed in each method are the ''minimum'' required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like [[Skillcapes]], or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.
The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

NOTE: The Fishing Skillcape and Level 99 Mastery bonuses will stack, causing at least four fish to be caught each time. The Signet Ring, pet bonus and Fishermans Potion and the 50% Mastery Pool Checkpoint will provide a 32% chance of catching eight fish.
 
==== Method ====
Equip [[Fishing]] gear and fish for [[Raw Magic Fish|Magic Fish]]. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. [[Fishing]] is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.
 
=== Alternative Fish ===
 
Players who do not yet have level 80 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

== Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr) ==
{{OldStrategy|0.14}}
=== Requirements ===
* Level 99 [[Woodcutting]]
* Level 99 [[Fletching]]
* [[Dragon Axe]] Upgrade
* [[Multi-Tree]] Upgrade
* [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]
* [[Fletching Skillcape]]
* (Optional) [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]
* (Optional) [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]]
=== Method ===
By utilizing the output doubling of the [[Fletching Skillcape]], the value of [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] and [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]. To calculate the maximum [[GP]] per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:
# Cut [[Yew Logs|yew logs]] and [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] simultaneously while wearing the [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]. The yew logs should be sold.
# Fletch the magic logs into [[Magic Longbow (u)]] while wearing the [[Fletching Skillcape]].
# Purchase [[Bowstring|bowstrings]] from the [[Shop]] and fletch the unstrung bows into [[Magic Longbow]].
# Sell the longbows for profit.
Without using [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] and [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.
 
== Mining with Gem Gloves (Max 729k/hr Idle) ==
{{OldStrategy|0.15}}
=== Requirements ===
* 500k gp to purchase {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}
=== Improves GP Rate ===
* The {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} provides additional coal to sell
* Higher tier [[Shop#Pickaxes|Pickaxes]] increase the rate that ore is mined
* The {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}} god upgrade decreases the mining interval by 20%
* Higher {{Icon|Mastery}} levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] ({{SkillReq|Herblore|53}}) can increase idle GP rates by decreasing the amount of time spent waiting for ores to respawn
* Mining and selling {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate when using [[Perfect Swing Potion III]] and below. When using {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate.
* Actively switching to the highest tier [[Mining#Ores|ore]] yields higher GP rates
 
=== Method ===
This method relies on {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}). The average value of a [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] is {{GP|381.25}}, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only {{GP|250}}. Thus {{GP|131.25}} of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the {{Skill|Smithing}} skill.
 
With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}}, {{MasteryReq|Dragonite Ore|99}}, and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}s, and the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}, an average of 2,423 {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, the gems from the gloves, and the coal, {{GP|279}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|728960}} profit per hour.
 
With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} and {{MasteryReq|Adamantite Ore|50}}, an average of 2,117 {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, and the gems from the gloves, {{GP|219}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|486114}} profit per hour.
 
==Woodcutting==
{{OldStrategy|0.18.2}}
==== Improves GP Rate ====
* Higher tier [[Shop#Axes|axes]] increase the rate that trees are chopped
* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Bird Nest Potions]] increase the rate at which [[Bird Nest|bird nests]] are gained
* [[Clue Chasers Insignia]] can further increase the rate of [[Bird Nest|bird nests]]
* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] grants an additional 10% chance to double logs cut.
* The [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade allows the player to also cut a second log for additional profit
* The [[Master of Nature]] god upgrade decreases the Woodcutting interval by 15%.
* The [[Woodcutting Skillcape]] decreases the Woodcutting interval by 15%.
* Higher levels of log [[Mastery]] increase the chance to receive double the amount of logs
* [[Woodcutting#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|50% Woodcutting Mastery Pool Checkpoint]] increases all logs sell value by 50%
 
=== Chopping Magic and Yew Logs (Max {{GP|1243}}k/hr) ===
==== Requirements ====
* {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|75}}
==== Method ====
Simply cut down [[Magic Logs]] and your chosen secondary log (if the [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and [[Bird Nest]] for profit.
==== Expected Resources Per Hour ====
The maximum rates assume [[Dragon Axe]], [[Multi-Tree]], [[Aorpheat's Signet Ring]], [[Clue Chaser's Insignia]], [[Beavis]], [[Master of Nature]], [[Woodcutting Skillcape]], 95% Woodcutting Mastery Pool Checkpoint and 99 log mastery.
Bird Nests are only provided once per action.

Please note: Although the requirements seem low, using [[Bird Nest Potion IV]] and minimum action time ([[Dragon Axe]], [[Woodcutting Skillcape]] and [[Master of Nature]] god upgrade) are advised or else the GP rate drops significantly.
==== Method ====
Cut down [[Normal Logs]] and your chosen secondary log (if the [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade has been purchased) and sell the logs and [[Bird Nest]] for profit. A portion of the nests can be opened for [[Potato Seeds]] to make more potions.
With [[Bird Nest Potion II]] and below, players should cut [[Normal Logs]] and [[Magic Logs]] for maximum profit.

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

== Combat ==
{{OldStrategy|0.18}}
Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game. {{Skill|Magic}} is the most profitable, but it can differ based on the gear and skills in your possession. In general, you need a best-in-slot setup of [[Melee]] or {{Skill|Ranged}} and have 99 in relevant combat skills to be on par with level 85 Magic in God Armor.
The exact rates are difficult to determine, but the best targets are as follows: {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}, {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}}, {{MonsterIcon|Black Dragon|Black Dragons}}.
The two items that make this method good are {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} and {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}.
Calculating the specific GP/hr depends on your stats and gear.
The Combat Simulator in [[Scripting and Extensions]] can help you to calculate the gains for your build.
One of the most profitable dungeons is the {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}} because it drops a lot of pure GP that gets doubled with the {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}. The pure GP gain with the ring is 250,000 per clear.
It also drops the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} and the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core}} that will net you 402,400 additional GP per clear if sold with [[Item Alchemy III]]. The doubling chances don't work on them.
For one clear {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}} will yield a total of 250,000 + 402,400 = 652,400 GP per clear.
Some of the setups are listed below, but it is advised to use The Combat Simulator to check your build. By default, all of the listed setups have {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} in the ring slot with no [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]], {{Skill|Prayer}}, or {{Skill|Herblore|Potions}}.
==== Magic (Max ~12652k/hr)====

85 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Fire Surge (12,850 runes/hr), 10,5 kills/hr = 6,840,750 gp/hr
Full {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia God Armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Magic}}, {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Air Imbued Wand}}, {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}},
85 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Slicing Winds (15,010 runes/hr), 12,93 kills/hr = 8,423,895 gp/hr

99 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Gust (16,900 runes/hr), 15 kills/hr = 9,772,500 gp/hr
Full {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia God Armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Magic}}, {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}}, {{ItemIcon|Warlock Ring}} ({{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring|Signet}} in [[Combat Passive Slot|Passive slot]]),
99 {{Skill|Magic}}, using Water Surge (10,380 runes/hr), 19,42 kills/hr = 12,652,130 gp/hr
The time required to mine and craft runes was not accounted in the calculations above. For instance, the build above uses 10,380 runes. At maxed-out Mining and Runecrafting, it will take around five minutes of mining essence and fifteen minutes of runecrafting. The overall GP rate is then adjusted to 9,5 million gp/hr.

Know of a good money making method?

<inputbox> type=create width=30 break=yes prefix=Money Making/ preload=Template:MoneyMakingGuide/preload buttonlabel=Create a new guide </inputbox>

The Skill requirements listed in each method are the minimum required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like Skillcapes, or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.
