Melvor Idle is a cut down RPG game with many hidden depths. 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.

Enjoy!

The Wiki

The Melvor Wiki is a majority community lead project. The raw data is imported directly from the game, this includes the pages with Monster, Item, Area, Spell, Skill Information/Data. One can almost guarantee that the information on those pages matches in-game content 100%.

As mentioned, the rest of the wiki is written by users/players such as yourself. There are a few Discord Administrators/Moderators that (occasionally) participate in helping on the Wiki, the majority however is done Players. There is no active professional team that keeps the wiki up to date. This is done to the best of the abilities by the people participating on maintaining the Wiki, things do however fall through the cracks. If you notice something that is incorrect/misspelled/out of date or just could be better in general, feel free to create your own Wiki Account and edit it!

Every edit is monitored by other Players and Discord Moderators, egregious edits will be undone/removed, they can also be discussed on the "talk" pages on the Wiki or on the Melvor Discord in the #wiki-discussion channel. This channel is open for:

• Reporting incorrect data or spelling that you either don't know how to edit or simply don't want to edit.
• Suggestions of what need to be changed to be more optimal for User experience
• Pointing out very out of date Guides that don't actually work anymore, these will usually get a huge disclaimer on them until they can be worked on
• People wanting to Contribute and feel like they have things to say / information to impart
• If you don't have the time or the know how how to edit on the Wiki, be this to simply pass on what you'd want done * or perhaps players in the channel being able to teach you how to do it

When following guides, please check the version in which this was published, some guides are very out of date or no longer relevant, there's work being done on updating them, but writing a good guide takes time and the current dedicated editing team is small. We'll welcome any help we can get, no matter how small or big.

Goal of this Guide

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 in no way complete, or optimal for all play styles.

The guide was inspired by the following reddit post.

Why not to use this guide?

There are many reasons that this guide may not be useful:

• If following steps is not your thing then look elsewhere, these steps take a long time to complete and are very prescriptive.
• Do you have a preferred play-style? For example, combat is great! Why not give it a try? This guide is focussed on skilling and obtaining some important long-term benefits from some hard-to-get items and boosts.
• This guide is intended for Standard and

Before you start

In general:

• This game is meant to be idled - this means that it is intended that you do not actively play this game, but instead do other things, such as go on a walk, or visit the zoo! And when you come back, hopefully you will start to see some progress, but do not expect to complete this game in a week.
• Items and equipment will give you small benefits that stack up over time, so do not expect to be a Melvor god after you have completed all of the steps outlined below - you will still have a lot of gameplay left, and the expansions are a great investment if you are yearning for more!
• You should expect this guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
• Players are encouraged to try out all of the skills as soon as they feel more comfortable with the basics.
• Off-line progress is capped to 24-hours, and so once you start following these steps, you may feel it necessary to keep the game running continuously, or feel the need to check-in on progress regularly. If you do need a break, this is ok - the progress cap might feel like a limitation at first, but it also means that your township doesn't fall into disarray after a long break.
