Beginners Guide

Melvor Idle is an idle game and as such much of the time spent playing you can be away from the game. However, the game does have some interaction and on this page we will try to teach you the basic interactions.

Before we get started it is recommended that you set up an account with Melvor Cloud. This provides some basic backups for save files.

The interface

The interface is split in three sections.

The left menu

The bar on the left side of the screen is a menu filled with a list of buttons. There are buttons for every skill, a couple of information pages, your Bank, and a Settings page. Please take note of the fact that you can scroll in this window.

The top bar

In the top bar you can see what page you are currently on. You can also see if you are currently logged into Melvor Cloud on the top right. If you see a letter c in a green oblong you are logged in. If the oblong is red, you are not logged in. You can find a login button in the Settings window or by clicking on your user name in the top right.

The main section

The main section of the screen can be filled with a plethora of content. It can be filled with the Bank, Settings, a Skill, or one of the information pages.

The bank

The Bank is where your items are stored. Weapons and armour can be equipped in a menu opened by clicking on the item in the bank. Bank slots can be bought in the shop. You can sell your items with the menu opened by clicking on the item in your inventory.

The shop

The shop is where you can spent your hard earned gp. Here you can buy things like better pickaxes and axes, more bank slots, a couple of ingredients for various skills and a bit more.

Basic info on gathering and processing skills with links to the pages of the skills.

Basic combat

Early game goal

A good early game goal to keep in mind is to prepare yourself for combat. So you will need armour, weapons and food.
