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. Although there are a few Discord Administrators/Moderators that (occasionally) participate in helping on the Wiki, the majority is done by Players. There is no active professional team that keeps the wiki up to date. This is done to the best of the abilities of the people maintaining the Wiki, but things do 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 If you notice something that is incorrect/misspelled/out of date or just could be better in general, feel free to create your own Wiki Account and edit it!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- Pointing out very out of date Guides that don't actually work anymore, these will usually get a huge disclaimer on them until they can be worked on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 to edit on the Wiki, simply pass on what you'd want done, or perhaps ask players in the channel 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When following guides, please check the version in which this was published; some guides are very out of date or no longer relevant.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.
There are several ways to play this game. Some choices can be found here
Why not to use this guide?
There are many reasons that this guide may not be useful:
- This guide is intended for Standard and Error creating thumbnail: File missingHardcore Game Modes:
- If you are playing Adventure game-mode then please refer to the Adventure/Guide.
- If you are playing Ancient Relics game-mode then please refer to the Ancient Relics/Guide.
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.
- This game however also has some more active/involved playing when it comes to the combat. You can spend as little or as much time as you want optimizing your farming there.
- 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 some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
- Offline 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.
- If you're unable or unwilling to log in within the 24 hour timespan, there's the option to download the "Unlimited Offline" Mod. Please be aware that the longer you stay offline with that mod, the longer it will take for the game to load in.
- There is a very small chance that this mod breaks your savegame file. Be sure to manually download your save every once in a while.
- You might lose the ability to access your gameplay file, if this is the case you will have to disable the mod and log in again, that should fix it 99 out of a 100 times.
- If you're unable or unwilling to log in within the 24 hour timespan, there's the option to download the "Unlimited Offline" Mod. Please be aware that the longer you stay offline with that mod, the longer it will take for the game to load in.
Skills That Boost Other Skills
These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses to work on other skills come in a certain order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill page for how they provide buffs for combat skills.
There is a far more comprehensive list of what Skills do exactly to be found at Beginners Guide.
If you wish to see how Skills effect other Skills please expand the column below.
Skill | Description | Order of unlocks for other skills |
---|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology |
This is the most straightforward Skill Boosting-skill. Study constellations to unlock permanent bonuses for the respective skills.

|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore |
Most skills have at least one potion that provides a bonus. For non-combat skills, these potions are usually increased output of resources, but there are some important exceptions for speeding up progression. | * Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking - Controlled Heat Potion * Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology - Secret Stardust Potion * Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining - Perfect Swing Potion * Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility - Performance Enhancing Potion * Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting - Elemental Potion
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility |
Build obstacles that provide fixed bonuses to specific skills. The higher your skill level, the more obstacles you can build, at higher tiers. However, these obstacles also get progressively more difficult to build, both in terms of money and in terms of items, but they also have some of the strongest bonuses in the game. As you progress in Melvor, you will find yourself swapping between obstacles reasonable often. | Agility has too many bonuses with complicated ordering, so it's difficult to enumerate them like in the previous sections. Please see the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility page for full information.

Choosing the Way to Play The Game
There are several ways to play the Game, depending on your goals and preferred game play. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it.
- Laid back: Only logging in once/twice per day or at least not actively playing, knowing what to set your offline times to and what to do when online.
- Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald/ Atlas of Discovery: road to 100% completion. This will be combat focused, since it involves leveling as little non-combat as possible to rush Harold for the 2% interval, after which skills and item collection will be done.
Before Settling on Desired Game-play
Before we get into the actual different way to play. It is generally advised you get a good feel of the game and how it works / interacts. This is generally achieved by leveling all the skills to around Level 30-40 and beat a Dungeon or 2. Once everything is around level 35 you should better understand how the game works and if you like it. The Core Game Mechanics won't really change much, it gets slightly more complicated especially when it comes to Combat later on, there will be more and more Skill interactions once you get to higher levels. Faster Experience Gains and you'll receive loot quicker. But this is about it. This would be an excellent point to determine if this game is for you or you'd rather move on.
The entire process of leveling everything to around level 35 should take about 2-3 hours. If you don't have that time to spare in 1 sitting, do what you can and then switch to
until the next time you log back in. There is never any harm to level
, it will only give you more benefits. At later stages you might want to switch to different skills for other benefits, for now this is your best choice.
- It is advised you start by leveling Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology for the minor gains you'll get from that at low levels.
- You can stop at Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 40 for now.
- Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 Stars (the Blue ones) in each Constellations (Error creating thumbnail: File missingDeedree,Error creating thumbnail: File missingIridan,Error creating thumbnail: File missingAmeria,Error creating thumbnail: File missingTerra andError creating thumbnail: File missingVale). If you have enough Stardust.
- This will give you 15% Global Accuracy, 5% experience and Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery gain in:Error creating thumbnail: File missingWoodcutting,Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming,Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing,Error creating thumbnail: File missingFishing,Error creating thumbnail: File missingFiremaking,Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining and 5% Experience inError creating thumbnail: File missingAttack andError creating thumbnail: File missingStrength
- Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 Stars (the Blue ones) in each Constellations (
- You can stop at
- Your next skills should be Error creating thumbnail: File missingWoodcutting andError creating thumbnail: File missingSummoning
- Summoning is a very important skill for boosting all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping summoning tablets. It levels very slowly while you do everything else, and it is nearly impossible to come back later and rush level it.
- Start chopping Normal Logs until you get your first Error creating thumbnail: File missingEnt mark.
- Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy Summoning Shard (Green) to make about 100 Error creating thumbnail: File missingEnt tablets.
- Repeat (moving up to Oak Logs and Willow Logs as they become available) until you have Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 15
- Your next skills should be Error creating thumbnail: File missingFishing andError creating thumbnail: File missingCooking (and moreError creating thumbnail: File missingSummoning)
- To get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Shop upgrades for the first 2 Axes, Fishing Rods and Pickaxes, Error creating thumbnail: File missingOctopus andError creating thumbnail: File missingPig tablets.
- Once you get to roughly Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 23 you should get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Fishng Rod to the level 20 one.
- At Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 30 Sell all the Junk that you got apart from the Fish, and about half of the fish.
- When you unlock Error creating thumbnail: File missingOctopus, stop to make some tablets and equip them.
- Make sure to save 300 Raw Herring and 300 Raw Salmon for the next section.
- Next is Error creating thumbnail: File missingCooking the fish caught fromError creating thumbnail: File missingFishing, this will be used in Combat.
- To get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Shop upgrades for the first 2 Axes, Fishing Rods and Pickaxes,
- The next skill would be Error creating thumbnail: File missingAgility
- This has some minor increases for Error creating thumbnail: File missingWoodcutting,Error creating thumbnail: File missingCooking,Error creating thumbnail: File missingAgility,Error creating thumbnail: File missingHerblore,Error creating thumbnail: File missingFiremaking,Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining andError creating thumbnail: File missingArchaeology at low levels.
- Switching Error creating thumbnail: File missingAgility Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good moneymaking Method. If you can focus on 1 Obstacle in each Tier and leave them for now, we can start switching later on.
- At Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 20, make sure to buildError creating thumbnail: File missingPit Jump as your Tier 3 obstacle with the fish you saved from the previous step. See step #15 in the guide for furtherError creating thumbnail: File missingAgility choices.
- This has some minor increases for
- After this finish the rest of the Skills to Level 30, the order in which you do this is not very important, you may not be able to progress some Artisan Skills yet as you don't have the resources from the Gathering Skills yet, just come back later to those skills.
There are several ways to earn Gold Pieces in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively.
When Combat is the main focus, it is generally recommended that your first 1,000,000 goes towards
Skill | Level | Method | Comment |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving |
54 / 57 / 77 | At apropriate Levels thieving Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fisherman, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cyclops and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Knight provides some of the best GP/h, butyou will need to obtain Chapeau Noir, Golbin Mask, Thiever's Cape, Sneak-Ers from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving, and also Gloves of Silence from Thief in Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runic Ruins, which requires Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 45 |
It takes quite a while to set up Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving correctly, be sure you don't do this before Error creating thumbnail: File missing Auto Eat as you'll most likely die. Also don't forget to enable the "Continue on Stun" option if you have plenty of Food available
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing |
?? | Fishing in general is quite bad for , but it is an easy AFK method to grind out the first 1,000,000 | |
Low Level Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining |
0 | Low Level Mining with Gem Gloves might sound like a good idea; it does give you some profit, but it yields very poor hourly gains. | |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining |
85 | Mining is a really good way to earn , but it doesn't really start generating a lot before Level 85. It also requires you to have . Pure Crystal sells for 750 each, which racks up quite quickly and should average around 4,000,000 per hour without any boosts. Perfect Swing Potion will help immensely if you wish to farm with this Method |
With this minor preparation of the Skills, we're now ready to start picking the desired Way to Play, be it Skilling or Combat you should be set for both!
Ways To Play The Game
Laid Back
This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day. If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much.
- Start by vising your Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship, Select the Aeris Worship. This grants the best benefits for a while.
- We start off with a little preparing to do some minor Combat.
- Level Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining to Level 50. This gives us access to Mithril Ore.
- Save all the Ore you mine for the next step.
- Level Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide here.
- At Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 57 Smith 2x Mithril Helmet, 1x Mithril Platebody, 2x Mithril Platelegs, 2x Mithril Boots, Mithril Gloves and a Mithril Sword
- Turn 1 set of these items in for Normal Township Task #1, this rewards a (G) Mithril Platebody and (G) Mithril Shield, saving you some time needing to gather the Silver Bar and Gold Bar.
- Upgrade the Mithril Helmet, Mithril Platelegs and Mithril Boots to (G) by pressing Upgrade in the bank (orange button on the right). The first step requires a certain amount of Silver Bar and the second upgrade will require Gold Bars after both those upgrades are done the items gain the Damage Reduction stat too. Gloves have no upgrades but do provide Evasion Rating.
- This will require 525 Silver Bar and 750 Gold Bar.
- At
- Sell all the Crafted Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing Items and sell all the rest of your Ores.
- This should get you closer to 1,000,000.
- Either go Error creating thumbnail: File missingFishing or mine Crystal inError creating thumbnail: File missingMining (Requires the Atlas of Discovery Expansion) until you reach 1,000,000
- Once 1,000,000 has been obtained, buy Error creating thumbnail: File missingAuto Eat from the Shop.
- If you still have some food from leveling Error creating thumbnail: File missingFishing to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat.
- If you're out of Food Fish up some Shrimp and cook those in Error creating thumbnail: File missingCooking so they can be eaten.
- To consume food, it must first be equipped through the Bank and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the Error creating thumbnail: File missingCombat orError creating thumbnail: File missingThieving page.
- The suggested target for now is the Master Farmer. He drops Seeds which will be needed for Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming. WithError creating thumbnail: File missingAuto Eat andError creating thumbnail: File missingHitpoints Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing Master Farmer willError creating thumbnail: File missingAuto Eat around 420 Shrimp per hour. If you have higher healing food than Shrimp you will be using less than 420 per hour.
- Either go
- This should get you closer to 1,000,000.
- Plant a few of your found Seeds in Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming Farming Plots.
- Be sure to this once every so often to passively Level Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming.

- Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology is our next Skill.
- The first large goal is to reach Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99, this increasesError creating thumbnail: File missingMastery and Stardust gains.
- Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other Constellations when they unlock.
- If they're close to Level 80 Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery.
- Once you're Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99 buy the Astrology Skillcape from the Shop and equip it.
- Keep training Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology until all Constellations are at least Level 80Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery, this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars.
- There are a few Constellations where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99 Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery and Purchase all the stars, those are:Error creating thumbnail: File missingIridan,Error creating thumbnail: File missingTerra,Error creating thumbnail: File missingNysa,Error creating thumbnail: File missingArachi andError creating thumbnail: File missingKo.
- There are a few Constellations where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99
- If the Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned, this skill can go to Level 120.
- In which case it's worth sticking to Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingHaemir is only used to levelError creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology if you're not at Level 110 yet.
- If you're already at Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 110 you can completely ignoreError creating thumbnail: File missingHaemir, the rewards from this Constellation will not provide any bonuses for now.
- If you're already at
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingRosaniya is a very good Constellation and should be fully maxed to 99Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery and Purchase all the stars.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingAshtar is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat.

This means the Synergy is active, it will use 1 Skill Related Tablet per action (in this Case Octopus) and when the Synergy is Active it will use an additional Related Tablet and 1 Synergy Companion Tablet, so in short, it will use 2 Error creating thumbnail: File missingOctopus and 1Error creating thumbnail: File missingEnt as soon as the Synergy is active.
- Synergies require Error creating thumbnail: File missingSummoning Marks to be a certain Level, their current Level can be viewed in theError creating thumbnail: File missingSummoning Menu.

Combat Focus for Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald / Age of Discover
This Method aims at clearing
as soon as possible for the Harold pet. This gives:
- Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25%
- 2% Global Interval reduction
- 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction
- 5% Global Mastery Gain
- as well as many more useful things.
Doing this first has great benefits on the entirety of your account & required Playtime to reach 100% Completion.
This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush Harold for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game.
It is recommended you completely ignore
buildings after setting Aeris as your Worship.
- Keeping Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship low will allow for cheaper rerolls of Casual Tasks.
- We will be using these Casual Tasks for free Slayer Coins.
- Tasks that provide Slayer Coins will reward 1,000 per Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer Level.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship Level has no influence on that.
- Equipment that awards extra does effect the amount, so wearing Slayer Equipment, Hunter's Ring and the Error creating thumbnail: File missingCartography Point of Interest Dark Waters do effect the amount.
- Once you feel you no longer need the Food, Prayer Points, Bolts or Arrows from them, and you have a decent Gold income, feel free to start leveling Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship.
Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills:
Skill | Level | Reason |
---|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology |
60 | Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles) in the Constellations Error creating thumbnail: File missing Iridan, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Terra, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Vale, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Syllia and Error creating thumbnail: File missing Arachi. If there is not enough Stardust obtained, try to balance out where you spend it and maximize the amount of Accuracy Gained.
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting |
85 | For Ancient Runes & decently crafted Wizard Equipment. |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining & Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing |
40 | At 40 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining and 40 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing you can mine & craft Silver Bar and Gold Bar, which are required to upgrade Melee Armour to (G), so they actually get their Damage Reduction.
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility |
70 | To start with Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 50 will be enough. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99 should be the aim once Error creating thumbnail: File missing Impending Darkness Event is beaten.
|
Later Aims should be:
Skill | Level | Reason |
---|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore or Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography |
90 | Both these Skills grant access to Damage Reduction Potion IV which is very helpful, especially in the Throne of the Herald Expansion. When Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore is chosen it will also need Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90. In Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography 1000 can be obtained at (31, 19) The Sand-Covered Treasure. These can be turned in for 5,000 Damage Reduction Potion IV with Township Task Hard 15.
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology |
90 | Only when also doing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90, since this allows access to Underwater Ruins which has the very powerful Engulfing Vortex Longbow. This is quite a grind but well worth it; the weapon shreds through Throne of the Herald content
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology |
118 | This is highly Optional Not required but very fun to play with, Merman Pendant and Pirate Hook are 2 very powerful items only obtainable from very high Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology. You can defeat the entire game without them, they will however make some parts of the game faster/more fun.

Starting Off Your Journey
Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with
at level 60,
at Level 50,
at Level 85 and
&
at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey.
- It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30.
- If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some Chicken, Cow or Golbin to get to at least Error creating thumbnail: File missingAttack andError creating thumbnail: File missingDefence Level 5.
- Craft some Steel Equipment and upgrade it twice with Silver Bar and Gold Bar to it's (G) version so it gets the Damage Reduction.
- Equip the armour and continue your Combat.
- It is suggested to do Slayer Tasks. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do.
- If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some Chicken, Cow or Golbin to get to at least
- When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to Mithril Equipment. Seeing as our Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining andError creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from Mithril Knight.
- Collect: 2x Mithril Helmet, 1x Mithril Platebody, 2x Mithril Platelegs and 2x Mithril Boots.
- Turn 1 set of these items in for Normal Township Task #1, this rewards a (G) Mithril Platebody and (G) Mithril Shield, saving you some time needing to gather the Silver Bar and Gold Bar.
- Upgrade the Mithril Helmet, Mithril Platelegs and Mithril Boots to (G) the normal way so they get Damage Reduction too.
- This will require 525 Silver Bar and 750 Gold Bar.
- Collect: 2x Mithril Helmet, 1x Mithril Platebody, 2x Mithril Platelegs and 2x Mithril Boots.
- Continue Farming Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer while leveling your Combat Skills.
- Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for Rune Equipment, completely skipping Adamant Equipment.
- We also can't craft Rune Equipment so we'll be getting it from Rune Knight.
- This will be the last Melee Armour Set needed before upgrading to God Equipment.
- A good Weapon alternative at this point is Ice Sword or Ice Dagger or Ice Battleaxe. This can be obtained from Error creating thumbnail: File missingFrozen Cove.
- Upgrade the Rune Helmet, Rune Platebody, Rune Platelegs, Rune Boots and Rune Shield to (G).
- This will require 2,000 Silver Bar and 3,750 Gold Bar.
- Once you reach Combat Levels around Level 40-45 it's time to upgrade the Armour and Weapon again. This time we'll be aiming for Rune Equipment, completely skipping Adamant Equipment.
- You will also need to level your Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic andError creating thumbnail: File missingRanged.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic Wizard Armour you can craft inError creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting.
- Simply craft the highest Wizard Armour you can craft that matches the Element of the highest Spell you can Cast. This will increase the Minimum Damage of the Spell.
- A Magic Wand (Powerful) can be crafted by upgrading 100 Magic Wand (Basic)

- D-Hide Equipment is slightly harder to come by. For this, Error creating thumbnail: File missingSpider Forest needs to be cleared several times
- This drops Green D-Hide Equipment (Level 40), Blue D-Hide Equipment (Level 50), Red D-Hide Equipment (Level 60) and Black D-Hide Equipment (Level 70).
- Clearing Error creating thumbnail: File missingSpider Forest 30 times rewards 10,000, 25,000 and a (U) Green D-hide Body through Normal Township Task #3
- Amulet of Looting also drops in this dungeon. When worn this item loots all items directly into your bank instead of the Loot Box.
- It is recommended you keep 5 Amulet of Looting for the Loot Container Stacking later on.
- There is also a Township Task to turn one in, although this only provides 25,000 and is not worth it at this time.
- You can get a Adamant Crossbow, Rune Crossbow or Dragon Crossbow by thieving Error creating thumbnail: File missingMarauder atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 21.
- An easy way to get Bolts is by buying Slayer Resupplies. This will also provide you Prayer Points and some Food.
- At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer tasks until you reachError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 77.
- At Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 77 you're set to startError creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave, you can find a guide here.
