Performing any skill | Performing an action in any skill has a small chance of discovering an Ancient Relic. Whilst it is possible to get all of the Ancient Relics without completing dungeons, it is not recommended. Achieving Skill Level 20 and 99 in any skill awards one of the Ancient Relics for that skill. Five skills will have a level cap of 25 after completing the first dungeon, so these relics can be obtained quite early.

There is currently a very small chance of being "locked" from progression by not getting enough {{Skill|Slayer}} Skill Level increases before completing the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}. | |||
This solution should only be used in the following cases: | |||
* {{Skill|Slayer}} Level is at Level 70 or below and {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} are the only 2 Dungeons left. | |||
* {{Skill|Slayer}} Level is at Level 90 or below and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} is the only dungeon left. | |||
Please note that clearing all the Barrier Dungeons up to and including {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} is required. | |||

Skills
All skill levels are initially capped to 10 which means that careful management of resources and equipment will be necessary early on.Skill XP is capped to the amount required the next level above the cap -1 XP, meaning the player can earn the majority of the experience needed for the next level above the cap and no more. Any experience earned above the cap is deleted. Mastery XP works as normal, there are no limits to earning mastery.
Skill levels for basic combat skills (Recommendations for which skills to upgrade here.
Notes:
- Skill choices don't always pop up in the middle of the screen after defeating a dungeon, if this happens the skill upgrade choices will be in green text above the Shop in the lefthand sidebar.
- The skill level increase menu can be canceled by clicking anywhere outside of it, and the choices will be waiting in the lefthand sidebar.
- Holding Enter to eat (on desktop) will cause skill level increases to be picked automatically (it will pick the left/top choice by default). If you don't wish this to happen, ensure that you don't hold Enter for the last few attacks.
- A possible bug may occur where no skill choices or combat cap increases are granted at all after clearing a dungeon. This can be solved by <solution here>
Food
There are 3 good options for Food before- 1) Error creating thumbnail: File missingThieving Level 34 unlocksError creating thumbnail: File missingChef. TheError creating thumbnail: File missingChef only has food as common steals.
- 2) Slayer Resupplies for Food and Prayer Points, while also providing Arrows and Bolts and

- Slayer Coins can be acquired by completing Slayer tasks
- Casual Township Tasks are a very good source of large amounts of Slayer Coins, they reward 1,000

Ancient Relics
Performing an action in any skill has a small chance of discovering an Ancient Relic. Whilst it is possible to get all of the Ancient Relics without completing dungeons, it is not recommended. Achieving Skill Level 20 and 99 in any skill awards one of the Ancient Relics for that skill. Five skills will have a level cap of 25 after completing the first dungeon, so these relics can be obtained quite early. All Relics in a skill can be earned before Skill Level 20 with enough time (or luck), the bonus relics at 20 and 99 are just to aid in finding them all.
Ancient Relics can be obtained through any action regardless of XP earned,Ancient Relic drop rates are affected only by specific relics that provide increased chance to find Relics, but Relics can be found more often by decreasing the interval at which actions are performed.
Lesser Relics
Each action in non-combat skills has a chance to award a Lesser Relics, which can be equipped to give bonuses to that skill and to Combat. Lesser Relics provide helpful bonuses for the early game, such as the![](/images/thumb/3/35/Mining_Lesser_Relic_%28item%29.png/23px-Mining_Lesser_Relic_%28item%29.png)
Lesser Relics have a 1/1,000 chance of dropping for every skilling action performed. They always drop in stacks of 300, and one lesser relic will be consumed for every action. They function similarly to all other consumables, they stack indefinitely and don't need to be fully consumed before acquiring new ones.
Skill Cap Recommendations
After each Dungeon is defeated, 5 Skill Cap increases (6 after Throne of the Herald dungeons) will be awarded. The following is a recommended priority of skills in descending order. These recommendations are focused on progressing quickly and efficiently, to beat the games final boss(es) as quickly as possible.
Base Game
Choose the highest priority skill listed up to the Until Level listed. Skills with the same priority can be chosen by whichever is lower level, or whatever other criteria is desired.
Priority Number | Skill | Until level | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer
|
99 | Slayer progression gives access to dungeons: Error creating thumbnail: File missing Miolite Caves and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Infernal Stronghold for more unlocks, as well as access to really good drops and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer Coins. It is literally the only skill that has no workaround at all, so when we see it, we take it.You can get locked in your progression if you don't get enough unlocks in Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer. It is technically possible for the random skill picks to still lock you by not giving this option, make sure you don't skip this choice.Not getting the last skill cap increase to Level 99 before you move on to Error creating thumbnail: File missing Impending Darkness Event will lock you out of that dungeon and all of Don't worry if you can't use the levels now, just click it. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer options are chosen when offered, this should not happen. If it does happen, there was nothing that could have been done differently to change it. A solution can be found here.
|
2 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting
|
85 | The best way to clear the Dungeons up to Error creating thumbnail: File missing Volcanic Cave is using the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Magic style so Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting is very important to level up. Almost all the early dungeons use Melee, and, notably, Adept tier robes offer 4% Damage Reduction by Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 47, which is much easier and cheaper to get than the other two styles. Therefore, it's extremely valuable to get Adept gear by the time you can use it (at Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 35), and you don't want to risk missing it at future cap increases.
|
3 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning
|
99 | Summoning levels are crucial for ![]() ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dragon is highly recommended for ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90.Additionally, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Leprechaun ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Monkey is your best source of Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning when you're not at the level cap. One important reason for this is to be ready to immediately unlock ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 100) as soon as you beat Error creating thumbnail: File missing Impending Darkness Event.
|
4 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology
|
85 | The Master Relic in this skill is VERY powerful, start by mastering all the combat-related Constellations, save the pure skilling ones until after you defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missing Throne of the Herald. This Master Relic requires you to fully max out all the attributes offered in each Constellation, this involves getting 99 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mastery in it plus buying all the options for Dust (even the crossed out ones). Going for the last Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99 unlock is suggested if the other skill cap increase is not on this table or the level has already been reached.
|
4 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Prayer
|
99 | All of your future level ups are gated behind beating Dungeons, so any source of largely free Error creating thumbnail: File missing Combat output that stacks with everything else you're doing is very strong. In addition, unlocking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Protect Item makes manually eating dungeons and trying to push for thieving stealth drops much safer. There's really no such thing as a bad prayer upgrade, so we go all the way to 99. Note that it's usually much easier to get Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer Coins in Ancient Relics mode, and we are already planning to get Food from buying ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Prayer Points to power your prayers.Note that Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stone Skin can often be the difference between idling a dungeon or not, and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Battleheart is one of the most time saving things you can acquire in the entire game. For these reasons, later Error creating thumbnail: File missing Prayer cap upgrades are even more important than early ones.
|
5 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving
|
70 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 34 unlocks first Error creating thumbnail: File missing Assistant Cook and then Error creating thumbnail: File missing Chef which is are great sources of Food and is the most important reason this skill is rated this high. Thieving is also going to be your best source of GP for Error creating thumbnail: File missing Auto Eat - Tier III and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dungeon Equipment Swapping - which is very important for manually eating through some Dungeons. Additionally, higher level thieving targets give you access to items you might not be able to get any other way or as quickly by investing cap into only this one skill. Notably, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Troll gives you access to ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cyclops gives you access to ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Woodcutting, and both give ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lumberjack alone almost singlehandedly allows you to not pick Error creating thumbnail: File missing Woodcutting until extremely late.We stop at Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 70 because after that it's mostly only unnecessary ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 75, but even that is not a huge bonus and is often made irrelevant by Skill Caps.
|
6 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility
|
55 | Note: You probably won't have the money for agility obstacles immediately after Error creating thumbnail: File missing Chicken Coop and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Undead Graveyard, so very early on Agility is not a big priority. Even after you build your first obstacles, you won't have the money to switch them around as needed until you have Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving established.That said, our biggest priorities are Error creating thumbnail: File missing River Crossing, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Climb, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mud Dive - early on Damage Reduction doesn't do very much anyway, but hitpoints does, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Climb - doing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer tasks and getting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer Coins is really important, and the damage balances out the XP penalty, and most important of all Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rocky Waters - enormous early boost to survivability.You should expect to be swapping around Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Climb with Error creating thumbnail: File missing Balance Seesaw when it's time to get Agility XP, and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Climb with Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Balance once you get the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Prayer relic that reduces cost. There are a lot of good obstacles at Agility 4 so rather than list them out, use your judgement about when to swap, and expect to do so fairly often - noting that Error creating thumbnail: File missing Gap Jump is by far the best one for Agility XP.After Agility 6, it is too slow to level Agility without Error creating thumbnail: File missing Monkey, and too hard to get the requirements both in items and levels, so don't worry about it until after Error creating thumbnail: File missing Impending Darkness Event.
|
7 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining
|
40 | Best source of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
7 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing
|
40 | To turn your ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining for reason why not higher than 40. Note that if you happened to get lucky with Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving (notably, Thieving Relic #4) and enough cap, you don't even need this much Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing as you can get the bars you need from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Golbin Chief and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Troll. However, this edge case is likely not going to happen by the time you need to upgrade Melee armor, so we include it in this list anyway.
|
8 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography
|
90 | There are several good rewards from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography in the form of Points of Interests, check out the full list here. The main goal however for Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is (31, 17) ![]() ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Township Hard Task 15. The other goal of Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is one of the requirements to unlock ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 120.
|
8 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology
|
90 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is the other half of the requirement to unlock ![]() ![]() ![]() Other worthwhile items to pick up from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology are: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Error creating thumbnail: File missing Into the Mist), ![]() ![]()
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 120 unlock can be useful for ![]() ![]() Note: it's very difficult to take advantage of Archaeology levels if the absolute level is above that of your Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography level, so keep that in mind if the game offers them to you in that order.
|
9 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Farming
|
70 | Good source of passive generating low healing Food. Which is very useful when Auto-Eating. It's also the most efficient way to progress in Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore later; make sure to have your Farming level stay ahead of your Herblore level.
|
Any skills not mentioned on this table or levels above those that are listed do not really matter, and can be chosen at will. Keep in mind the free Skill Level 20 Relics can be fun to pick up.
Throne of the Herald
Skill cap increases for the- The top priority is to get at least 2 Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting unlocks for
Archaic Rune which will be needed for
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThrone of the Herald.
Other skill options are mostly irrelevant as they are not required for progression, nor do they benefit the player's combat journey in outstanding ways. Most non-combat skills should also be low enough level that increases to their level cap will not provide anything at all for some time.
Getting locked due to no Slayer Cap Increases
There is currently a very small chance of being "locked" from progression by not getting enoughThis solution should only be used in the following cases:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer Level is at Level 70 or below andError creating thumbnail: File missingInfernal Stronghold andError creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event are the only 2 Dungeons left.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer Level is at Level 90 or below andError creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event is the only dungeon left.
Please note that clearing all the Barrier Dungeons up to and including Underwater City is required.
What to do if you're Locked |
---|
This will require the use of the Console.
Players can use the dev.Console mod to execute these commands within the Steam, Epic, Android, and iOS versions of Melvor Idle. On Web, Steam, and Epic, the console can be opened with F12. If using Steam or Epic, you must enable the dev console first before being able to open it. Once the Console is opened you can use the following code to raise theError creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer maximum Level:
game.slayer.setLevelCap(75) or game.slayer.setLevelCap(95) as appropriate. |
Starting Tips
- Township Tasks: Check out the easier Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship tasks as often these will give useful rewards such as food,
or
which can be a big boost early on. Use a
Bronze Dagger to kill 100
Plant. This will complete the township task and reward you with 2,000
Potatoes.
- Cartography: Starting Error creating thumbnail: File missingCartography will give you
50.
- Surveying the
Farmer's Market at (13, 16) which is close to your starting position for
500.
- Surveying (and staying on) the
The Academia Arcanum at (8, 15) gives +5% magic maximum hit, +10% accuracy rating, +10% magic evasion. It can cost a little to get there, however it can be worth getting it to clear at least the first few dungeons with magic.
- Surveying the
- Slayer Tasks: Selecting a new slayer task is free, and so for every task keep re-rolling until you get a low level monster. You will need to stick to
Plant,
Chicken and
Cow. Use potatoes while training combat, and save high healing food items such as
Shrimp for the
Error creating thumbnail: File missingChicken Coop dungeon. - Runecrafting: Ancient Relics uses the hardcore Combat Triangle. This means magic is powerful against melee monsters. Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting will let you unlock more damaging spells. Mine plenty of
Rune Essence to create runes and obtain staves such as the
Staff of Earth including the highest magic gear you can obtain. You can train
Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 10 on theCow.
- Township Just like a standard playthrough it is advised to go for
Aeris Worship at the start.
- Mining: The
Mining Lesser Relic provides a guaranteed gem. This makes mining ore a good source of
early on. Sell
Jewel of Rhaelyx to obtain 1,000,000
and unlock
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAuto Eat - Tier I early, as this will give a considerable advantage. - Melee: Train melee to 10 XP and unlock the
Golbin Thief. Use
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining andError creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing to create50. Make at least one
Error creating thumbnail: File missingGolbin Thief so that you can receive more marks. - Chicken Coop The Error creating thumbnail: File missingChicken Coop can be defeated once you have maxed out your magic, hitpoints and prayer XP. You should wear your strongest magic gear possible, and a good supply of runes. Use Earth Strike magic, and Thick Skin as your prayer for a small advantage. Use
Shrimp to maintain your health.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic is the suggested attack style up toError creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave orError creating thumbnail: File missingAir God Dungeon as long as you get enoughError creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting cap unlocks.
If youError creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting cap increases are not offered it is suggested you switch to Melee afterError creating thumbnail: File missingSpider Forest.
Either way forError creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave and beyond it is recommended take inspiration from These Dungeon Guides. You'll most likely have to manual eat at almost every dungeon as most of the suggested Setups and Stats don't work for Ancient Relics.
Here are some suggestions on where to go next:
- Discovering the
Wet Forest at (9, 16) will reward 60
Oxilyme Seeds, 60
Mantalyme Seeds and 60
Lemontyle Seeds which can help you get started in
Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming andError creating thumbnail: File missingHerblore. The Runed Battlefield at (7, 15) provides 1,000
Mind Rune, 1,000
Chaos Rune and 1,000
Death Rune which will give added boosts to
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic for the early bosses.- The
Holy Isles at (17, 17) will reward 100
Medium Urn and if buried will give you a big
Error creating thumbnail: File missingPrayer advantage. - The
Castle of Kings at (21, 16) gives you
Knight's Cape and
(G) Mithril Platebody which is a great way to get some early damage reduction (DR). However, you will need
Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 20 to equip these items. - Discovering
The Eye-Conic Cave at (10, 18) unlocks the
Eye-conic Cave combat area which grants access to
Blind Ghost which drops
Lesser Summoning Amulet which is extremely powerful and remains Best in Slot until you get 100% special weapons (damage wise), the only real alternative to this amulet is
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs which provides Damage Reduction and some offensive stats, which only gets better with 100% special weapons or when you need Damage Reduction over damage.
Defeating this enemy should be rather easy with a simpleBarrier Gem equiped.
- Discovering
Mucky Cave at (22, 18) unlocks the
Mucky Cave combat area which provides
Barrier Dust and
Barrier Sapping Gloves. Defeating
Vampiric Bat should also be rather simple with a
Barrier Gem.
- Discovering
Shrouded Horizon at (4, 26) provides 50,000
which can be used to purchase 10 slayer re-supplies. There is a relatively direct path available from the starting position that can be done with 10 cartography, but will cost up to 500,000
in travel.
- Discovering
The Shadow Lurkers at (8, 14) provides
500 and
500 which can be used to upgrade armour before getting the ability to mine and smith these materials.
Continue defeating dungeons to increase your skill caps and along the way you will discover new and powerful ancient relics. Good luck!
Dungeon Walkthrough
This section gives a walkthrough on how to defeat the early dungeons without relying too much on player skill and/or luck. In your playthrough, you should use the ancient relics and skills that you unlock. It is possible that your route will deviate quickly from this path. This guide does not rely on any particular skills or relics being obtained and so should work for most playthroughs, but will necessarily be optimum for your relics and skills.
For the walkthrough, it is assumed that you have levelled all of the combat stats to the maximum after every dungeon. And that all combat training is done using Slayer Tasks to give . You will need a supply of
, and it is assumed that you are either mining ore to obtain jewels, or thieving and selling items. When equipped, the
Mining Lesser Relic will give a guaranteed jewel for every ore which is a good way to make early
.
In your playthrough, it is recommended that you level every skill to 20, as soon as it becomes available, as this will give a guaranteed Ancient Relic. Ancient relics often give benefits outside of the skill itself, so so not overlook the benefits these and the lesser relics. Leveling township and farming as you go along is recommended as these passive skills will pay dividends in time.

This will take some practice but it is suggested you learn how to do this effectively at this stage of the game, as you will be needing to Manual Eat for the majority of your playthrough.

Mid-End Base Game Tips & Comments
- The Dungeons Order suggests you do the God Dungeons before doing
Trickery Temple and
Cult Grounds, it is entirely possible to do these Dungeons earlier but it is recommended you do them after the God Dungeons to make them a lot easier due to better accuracy for yourself and your Summons
- The Barrier Dungeon guides suggest you farm up (B) Gear around
Cult Grounds to do
Underwater City more effectively, in Ancient Relics you can skip farming up the (B) Gear and we'll just aim for first clears to our Skill cap increases and Dungeon unlocks.
- After clearing Error creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave it is suggested you farmError creating thumbnail: File missingUnholy Forest for a
Ring of Malice (m), this ring is Best in Slot for the rest of the game. The only ring that sometimes beats it is
Ring of Power which you get from completing
Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event. - It is highly suggested that you get a
Engulfing Vortex Longbow just before defeating
Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event.Engulfing Vortex Longbow has a low drop chance from
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMermaid Archer and quite highError creating thumbnail: File missingCartography andError creating thumbnail: File missingArchaeology requirements (Level 90 both) but it is well worth getting. It remains the best Bow you can get up till theError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 120Feather Storm Crossbow.
Water Pulse Staff is also a very strong staff that can't miss. You can get these from the
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMerman inUnderwater Ruins. It is definitely not required as the
Throne of the Herald Wands with Archaic Spells are equally powerful / stronger but require much higher
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting earlier to be used.- You only need Elite Slayer Gear to defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event.
- In Ancient Relics you completely skip getting Dragon or Ancient gear, Error creating thumbnail: File missingAir God Dungeon can be cleared in (G) Mithril Equipment if you're patient enough, (G) Rune Equipment is suggested for it. Dragon and Ancient is absolute not needed and generally a huge waste of time to get at this point in the game.
- Once you defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event it is advised to switch your Worship to
Bane if you don't have Township Ancient Relic 4. If you do have Township Ancient Relic 4 you can keep
Aeris or switch to
Bane, if you want more
Mastery Magnet to go for 100% Completion switch to
Bane.
- Just before or after Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event is a good time to take anError creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology break. This may take a while. Your cap should be atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99 at this point, Level 99 gives Mastery bonus and should be done asap. Once you're Level 99 and have the Master Ancient Relic unlocked inError creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology it is a good idea to max out the combat Constellations (Error creating thumbnail: File missingIridan,Error creating thumbnail: File missingTerra,Error creating thumbnail: File missingVale,Error creating thumbnail: File missingSyllia,Error creating thumbnail: File missingArachi and optional:Error creating thumbnail: File missingTellus) This is preferably done during a
Nightfall Season.
- If you still have questions after reading through the entire guide, free to to come ask them in the #aod-ancient-relics channel on the Melvor Idle Discord.
