level (Base game constellations only)

grind since release resulting in higher
levels, we wanted to make things right with the extra refund.

, Official Cross-Platform Mod Support, and more!
A Special Thanks
Before we get into the release notes, I’d like to put out a massive thank you to those who made this expansion release possible. This was not a one-person achievement, and it was only made possible by a group of amazing people:
- Prat (Game designer)

v1.1 Release Notes
IMPORTANT PREFACE
It is incredibly important that you disable and remove every single pre-expansion mod or script you have installed before loading the update.
YOUR GAME WILL NOT LOAD IF A BROKEN MOD IS LOADED. THIS PUTS YOUR SAVES AT RISK.
New Skill - Error creating thumbnail: File missing Township
A brand new Town Management Simulator built directly into Melvor.
The general goal of this new Skill is to create a Town that becomes a passive resource generating machine in the late game. An ideal Town is one you can ignore at later stages of the game, and using the Trading mechanic is can provide resources to you.
Key Features:
- Build a Town that will become a passive resource generating machine that will assist with all aspects of the game.
- Manage resources that your town needs to grow (These are unique to Township and do not require Bank space).
- 50+ unique buildings to help your Town expand.
- Keep track of your Citizens and their Health, Happiness, Education and age.
- Select a Map to build on with unique Biomes to manage.
- Choose a God to Worship (or none) and receive unique Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship bonuses.
- This is a passive Skill, meaning you can progress without interrupting other Skills.
- Ability to Trade with your Town by either giving bank materials to it, or collect items from your Town.
- Integrated Task system with some fantastic rewards for all players at any stage of the game.
- Brand new Shop items that can be purchased after certain conditions have been met. These unique items will assist with the general game.
- There’s no time waste with this Skill - You can ignore it and continue to earn Offline time to catch up at any time. Complete this skill at your own pace!
Important Mechanics:
- Buildings that generate resources require Workers (your population). Each time you Tick, your population will move in to a Job and being that production.
- Keep your Food production in the positives! As soon as you run out, the Town will begin to die at a high rate every Tick.
- Pay attention to Biomes and how buildings are affected in them. Some Biomes require consistent resources to upkeep.
- Don't be afraid to fail and kill your Town a few times. You can start again and give it another go.
It is important to note that this Skill is not designed to be hard focused to the max level. It is designed to be adjusted when needed, and to assist with passive resource and GP generation for the main game.
This is not a simple Skill to digest. There is a lot of information to take in with
. Please take it slow, explore the options you have available, and don’t be afraid to restart your Town if something doesn’t go right!
Good Starting Place for Township
When you first enter the Skill, you will be greeted with a Map & Worship selection. You can have a browse here but feel free to leave the options as default and continue.
When you enter the Skill, have a browse of all the menu items and different options made available to you. There is a lot here, so take your time.
When you're ready, head over to the Tasks menu and begin with the Getting Started Guide.
Township in Adventure Mode
Since we announced that
would be unlocked by default in 
Adventure Mode, plans have unfortunately changed leading up to release.
will no longer be unlocked by default in Adventure Mode.
The reason behind this change is that
is too powerful of a Skill to have unlocked in the beginning. The amount of bonuses, items, and GP you can obtain from this Skill is substantial so it didn't make sense to leave it unlocked at the start of Adventure Mode.
We apologize if you were looking forward to jumping in straight away in Adventure Mode.
Official Cross-Platform Mod Support
Melvor Idle now has Official Mod support which is available on all platforms of the game! This is made possible by utilizing Mod.IO to host and manage Mods for the game.
If you wish to use this feature, be sure to enable it in the Settings page!
In-Game Mod Browser:
- Explore available Mods within the game with a handy browser tool.
- Search, filter and find Mods that spark your interest.
- Subscribe and install mods which synchronize on all Platforms using your Cloud account.
- View more information about how to create Mods from the handy guides found within the browser.
Modding API
We have worked hard to make modding for Melvor Idle easier by providing an API that you can use to take control of the entire game as you please.
Key features:
- Add game objects, such as skills, items, recipes, combat and slayer areas, custom gamemodes, and much more.
- Hooking into the game life cycle for more control over when your mod performs actions.
- Define player-configurable settings for your mod.
- Storing and retrieving free-form data to and from a character or player account.
- Hooking into or patching game functions.
There’s no limit to what you can achieve with Mod Support. We very much look forward to seeing what the community can create!
Important: Unfortunately Mod.IO is not available in China. There’s currently no ETA on when it will be made available, but we will update you when the time comes.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology Rework
We have adjusted the Skill by completely removing the RNG aspect of rerolling modifiers.
Here is a breakdown on the changes:
- Stars inside constellations now have a predefined modifier. This is the same for everyone (some Stars have 2 modifiers in 1 star).
- All modifiers start at 0%, and are leveled up using Stardust or Golden Stardust. This is a set cost and there is a maximum limit of upgrades on all Stars.
- The modifiers you level up are permanent and are always applied to your character.
Stars inside constellations are still locked behind
level. These changes will allow you to "complete"
. There’s no need to reroll anymore, or rely on RNG for a modifier you’re hoping to achieve.
You will receive a very generous Stardust refund when loading into the game. Don’t forget to go straight into the Skill and spend it to get bonuses back.
New Quality of Life Features
New Consumable Equipment Slot
When loading into the update, you will be greeted with a brand new Equipment Slot - the "Consumables" Slot. This new slot will now be home to all equippable consumable items that are not classed as Ranged Ammunition.
Now, you are no longer required to sacrifice Ranged Ammunition for a Consumable.
Combat Quick-Equip
We have designed a new system to enable an easier gear-swapping experience for everyone.
When clicking on an equipment Slot in Combat, you will be greeted with a new “Quick-Equip” menu. Here you will be able to set up to 3 different pieces of equipment for that specific slot, enabling you to quickly switch between these items without the requirement of opening your Bank.
These slots are unique to their respective Equipment Set. This means you can have different sets of items in each Equipment Set.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility Blueprints
A common suggestion we have received is the ability to make
Obstacle switching less tedious. With the introduction of the Throne of the Herald expansion (which brings even more Obstacles), we felt now was the right time to introduce something to assist with this. An
Blueprint is a fancy name we have given to what is essentially an
Loadout or
Set. It provides the ability to Save and Load predefined Agility Obstacles as you please.
When setting up an Obstacle Course, you can save that course as a Blueprint. At any given time, you may load that Blueprint to quickly build the Obstacle Course again. You can even apply a custom name to these Blueprints.
This feature is super helpful for those who would like to switch from a Combat-based course to a Skilling-based course.
It is important to note that a Blueprint does not make the Obstacles free. You are still required to front up items and GP equal to whatever it would have cost to manually switch back.
Core Framework Changes (Boring but important)
- Game data structure has completely changed to allow for easier Expansion and Mod development. This will break all pre-expansion Mods. It is important to disable them before loading the update.
- The game now handles all loading tasks before showing you the character selection screen. This includes Cloud authentication, language and data loading, mod loading and auto updating.
- Melvor Cloud authentication has changed. It should be faster to authenticate with the Cloud on load now. Your game should automatically convert your session to the new version on load (can take up to a minute or so, this only occurs once).
- The game now asks you to log in on load (with a fancy new login screen). This can be skipped if you wish to play without the Cloud.
- Completion is now separated into Base Game and Expansion content (if you own the expansion). There is also a True completion progress.
Other New things

- Added a new item -
Generous Fire Spirit. This is a random drop which can be opened to obtain 1 of 4 new Error creating thumbnail: File missingFiremaking Amulets. - Added a new item -
