This guide has NOT been fully updated for Melvor Idle 1.1, there are a few significant changes (such as
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township) included in the update that change the early game. Follow the guide at your discretion
Introduction
This page presents one of the possible ways to start your Melvor journey. Please note that the instructions below are for the Standard and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hardcore Game Modes. For
Adventure, please refer to Adventure/Guide.
The goal of the provided steps is to give you a helping hand in the early stages of the game, and introduce you to the basic concepts of the game and some inter-skill synergies. It is not guaranteed that this is the fastest method, nor is there a right or wrong way to progress in the game. Therefore, new players are encouraged to try a larger diversity of skills as soon as they feel more comfortable with the basics.
This page is inspired by the following reddit post.
Notice that the guide is missing instructions for
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township, which despite its high learning curve, can be a great source of
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP income for a new account (through taxation via Town Halls), as well as enabling buyable pets (like
Ace) and hats (like
Clown Hat) that can work across many skills simultaneously.
Steps
- Level
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology until the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ameria constellation is unlocked (Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 20)
- Once
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 10 is achieved, training on the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Iridan constellation is the fastest path to Ameria. Generally speaking, the fastest method for training a skill is the one with the highest level requirement.
- Continue training
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology on the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ameria constellation until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery level 80 is achieved in Ameria.
- Doing so will provide access to 3 basic modifiers and 2 unique modifiers from Ameria, which can then be activated and then upgraded by consuming
Stardust and
Golden Stardust. All of these bonuses are good, however, be aware that the cost doubles for each upgrade you purchase. For now, we recommend not purchasing past the following upgrade levels:
- For
Stardust modifiers, be careful upgrading past star level 5-6
- For
Golden Stardust modifiers, be careful upgrading past star level 3-4
- You can always come back for more bonuses later!
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting until you obtain one
Mark of the Ent
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning by creating Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent Tablets until about Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 10.
- We will use these Tablets in
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting to further level Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning to unlock the Ent/Octopus Synergy for Fishing later in the guide. You can see all possible Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Synergies here.
- Summoning can be fairly expensive and unintuitive at first, however, as you collect higher level resources, you will use less of each to make each batch of Tablets, making them significantly easier over time.
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting with your Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent Tablets equipped, until 5 more
Marks of the Ent have been discovered, making your
Mark of the Ent level 2, enabling one half of the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent/Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus synergy.
- 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
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Tablet equipped that works in the skill you're training increases the amount of Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning XP you gain per action.
- Once at least 1 batch of Tablets of the appropriate Mark has been crafted, you have enabled finding additional Marks of that type even when the Tablets aren't equipped or present in your Bank. However, the drop chance for Marks is higher when respective Tablet(s) are equipped.
- We want to prepare unlocking the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent half of the synergy now, so that it is immediately ready while we're training Fishing later. Having a synergy active further improves Summoning XP gained per action.
- If not already
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15, train Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15. You can train Summoning by either:
- Preferably, equipping and using Tablets in its appropriate action (e.g. equipping
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent while Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting)
- Alternatively, but slower and not recommended, creating additional Tablets (e.g. creating
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent Tablets)
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing until you receive one
Mark of the Octopus.
- Don't forget, after the first Mark is found, you must create at least 1 batch of Tablets of the associated Mark to be able to find any additional Marks of that type.
- Create at least 1 batch of
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus Tablets to enable finding additional
Marks of the Octopus
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing with both Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus equipped until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 25
- Equipping both prepares you for the likely chance that you accumulate enough
Marks of the Octopus to enable the Ent/Octopus synergy, enabling even faster Summoning XP gains
- Synergies use both Tablets in the Synergy simultaneously, so expect the Tablet usage for both to go up when the Synergy is active.
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cooking until you find a total of six
Mark of the Pig.
- Again, remember to craft at least one batch of
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig to be able to find more than one
Mark of the Pig.
- As Mark drop rates don't scale with action time, it is recommended to cook something with a fast cooking time, e.g.
Shrimp .
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing with Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig equipped until both the
Ancient Ring of Skills and
Ancient Ring of Mastery have been acquired.
- It is likely that
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99 will have been reached by the time this happens due to the rarity of these rings.
- Like with Woodcutting's Axe upgrades, Fishing Rods also provide a significant decrease to catch time and should be purchased as soon as they become available.
- Open any
Treasure Chests, equipping the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Amulet of Fishing if it drops, as this greatly reduces the catch time for all fish.
- Consume any
Mastery Tokens acquired to increase your Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery Pool, as long as you don't cap your pool.
- Keep any
Diamonds gained along the way as these are required for a number of highly desirable things later, notably
Diamond Luck Potions and the Ice Jump Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility obstacle.
- Use the raw fish you catch to create
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopi and the cooked fish you earn from the synergy to create Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pigs. Some resources cannot be used to create Tablets.
- Once you start making more raw and cooked fish than you need to create Tablets, sell the excess for spare
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP.
- Most summoning Tablets allow you to select the recipe, changing the type and quantity of resources consumed per action. For example,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig needs 50
Shrimp available at Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 1, making good Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig Tablet uptime hard, but only needs 7
Swordfish which is available at Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 50.
- Once you've obtained a decent amount of of
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP, you can begin saving any
Emeralds, and
Sapphires obtained from fishing, as these will be useful for creating Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Devil Tablets later, and for various other skills further down the line.
- Sell everything that isn't a rare special drop acquired while Fishing, which should provide enough
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP to fund fishing rod upgrades
- Once the 2M
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP for the Dragon Fishing Rod upgrade is acquired, all gems can reasonably be saved at this point.
- Catching the following fish is suggested:
- Below
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99:
- See Fishing Training. Your fish selection should always be the highest XP/h fish.
- Keep leveling
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning simultaneously by always having the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus/Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig Synergy equipped, and making sure your selected fish can actually cook. It is preferable to only pick fish that work with this synergy, even if it means losing a bit of Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing XP/h.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99 with Fishing Skillcape unlocked (requiring Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99 and costing 1M GP):
Whales for GP and eventually so they can be cooked into valuable food and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cooking XP, or turned into Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning Tablets (Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Wolf, and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig), as well as other uses, including as a resource for an Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility Obstacle.
Magic Fish are generally not recommended if using Summoning. If you're not using Summoning, they are technically worth approximately 1% more GP/h than Whales, which makes Magic Fish require the least amount of setup to be effective for GP. However
Whales seriously outweigh Magic Fish in flexibility in other uses in the game, as well as severely outvaluing the GP/h when Whales are used with the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus/Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig synergy.
- For maximum special drops, once
Message in a Bottle is acquired: (Only suggested if stacked on cooked fish and GP):
- By reading the
Message in a Bottle, you unlock the Secret Fishing area which has a 5% special catch rate, the highest in the base game. With Level 50 Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery in the respective fish, the special catch rate is 8%.
- Equipping the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent/Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus Synergy for an additional +6% chance to acquire special items will push the special chance to 11%, or 14% with Level 50 Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery in the respective fish.
- The Level 20
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery Unique star from the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ameria constellation in Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology can further increase the special catch rate by another +1% per point invested.
- For the most special rolls per hour:
Seahorses
- Fastest catch speed in this area, which maximizes the chance of acquiring both rings
- Contrary to the other fish in the Secret Area, Seahorses can be synergized with
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus/Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig if Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent resources are hard to come by.
- For prayer points:
Skeleton Fish
- Can be redeemed for 3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Prayer points each, but can not be cooked
Magic Fish is not recommended for special drops, as their catch rate is the one of the slowest in the base game, with
Skeleton Fish having an almost 100% increased rate of special catches per hour in comparison.
- Any spare GP can be spent on bank slots. It is advised to leave a sizeable buffer of GP (at least 3M) remaining to be able to afford Shards for additional
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning Tablets, as well as other upgrades.
- When your
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing Mastery pool exceeds 95%, you can start spending your Mastery pool to increase your Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 it is below 88 Mastery.
- Level 88
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology further. Equip the
Ancient Ring of Mastery and study Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Deedree until level 80 Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery.
- Like suggested in the start of the guide, purchase modifiers as you see fit, but as earlier, upgrade costs double each time for each respective area upgraded.
- For
Stardust modifiers, be careful upgrading past star level 5-6
- For
Golden Stardust modifiers, be careful upgrading past star level 3-4
- Alternate between training
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15
- The ultimate goal here is
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99 to unlock the
Firemaking Skillcape.
- Equip the
Ancient Ring of Skills before starting.
- Any Axe upgrades should be purchased as soon as possible, as they significantly decrease the amount of time required to cut trees
- Open any
Bird Nests dropped for seeds, then plant those you can in Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming. Don't forget to buy new Farming plots when available.
- Keep all
Strawberry Seeds for
Gentle Hands Potions used in Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving, and keep 3000x
Watermelons for Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility.
- High Mastery level in Farming gives a chance to return seeds (to the point where crops sustain themselves), so a surplus of Strawberry Seeds can be planted if its Mastery level is high enough.
- Manually lighting bonfires is not recommended
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 10 is reached. This will allow the Monkey Bars Agility obstacle to be created, providing a 4% decrease to the Firemaking interval
- Train to
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 35 and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 30
- If you haven't already trained
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township a bit (Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15), it is worth doing this now to unlock
Warm Beanie for additional Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking boosts. If you've followed the full guide up to this point, you should have plenty of Township ticks to easily reach Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 80 or higher, so it is highly recommended to be mindful when spending ticks.
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility once more, this time until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
- Continue training
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99
- Having
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus equipped will increase the number of
Bird Nests dropped and continue to grant you more summoning XP.
- If you have reached
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 90, as soon as you obtain one
Mark of the Devil you can begin to craft Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Devil and use them for Firemaking to increase your summoning XP/action considerably as well as your Firemaking XP/h.
- Once again, keep planting seeds awarded from Bird Nests and keep the ones noted in the first
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting section.
- Skip cutting
Magic Trees due to the long cut time
- It is highly suggested to have the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree upgrade by the time you reach
Redwood Trees as this allows you to level Woodcutting with the best XP rates while keeping the primary Firemaking resource (
Yew Logs) intact
- This means using
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree to simultaneously cut
Redwood and
Yew logs.
- Save any
Redwood Logs gained as these should be turned into
Dragon Javelins later, burning only up to and including
Yew Logs to achieve Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99.
- Although lighting bonfires will increase the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking Skill XP gained, this is very manual to maintain and uses significantly more logs per hour.
- Purchase and equip the
Firemaking Skillcape
- It might be worth checking your
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery pool and seeing whether the 95% checkpoint is active. This provides an additional +5% Global Mastery XP - if not, go back and finish this this up now. Continuing on your moderately mastered
Yew Logs you should be getting a bit more than 1% pool per hour.
- Reaching maximum level in a skill increases the amount of pool provided per action from 25% to 50% of the Mastery XP.
- Train
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology once more, this time until Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99 is reached in order to unlock many more bonuses, including the
Astrology Skillcape, which - when equipped - further speeds up the rate at which you find both types of Dust.
- Go back to
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology and ensure all your constellations are at least Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery Level 40, and train those which are not.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery Level 40 unlocks the 2nd tier of normal modifiers, which contain Skill XP or Mastery XP (or both) bonuses.
- Many
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery Level 60, 80 and 99 unlocks provide modifiers that are rarely seen elsewhere in the game, with some of them only being useful in edge cases, so it is suggested to only further master the constellations that you know you will be benefiting from. You can see the list of constellation modifiers on the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology page.
At this point, you have both Ancient rings (providing +8% Skill or +7% Mastery XP, depending on which is equipped), the
Firemaking Skillcape (providing +5% Skill XP to all skills), and a variety of other bonuses from
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility.
The choices on what path to take next start to open up, some suggestions are:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving for GP, and various Area unique & NPC unique items, a number of which provide various bonuses to other skills.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing, and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fletching for the
Dragon Javelin money-making method, which is one of the best in the game. This is where any saved
Redwood Logs from Woodcutting will be used.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility to unlock further 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.
