Public Beta v1.0 - (10th November 2021)

Introduction

Welcome to the absolutely massive Public Beta 1.0 update for Melvor Idle!


This update introduces most of the promised Major Features from the roadmap, plus a lot of other goodies to go with it.


The Public Beta is a symbol of an almost complete game. This is an achievement I never thought I would ever reach when I started this journey in September 2019.


To be able to finally declare the game is finished is an unbelievable feeling. But we aren’t there just yet. Full Release is on November 18, and this Public Beta is here to give you the content early, and also spend time focussing on bug fixes from here on until the launch.


Important: This update is the full 1.0. When the game launches on November 18, you will not see any new inclusions other than Localisation.


The next 8 days for me are dedicated to fixing as many reported bugs as possible, so I can ensure the full launch on November 18 is as smooth as possible.


This changelog is MASSIVE, so please take the time to read everything that changed, and everything that was added. There’s some amazing stuff in here and I don’t want you to miss it.

Endgame Content Pt. 3

Introduction

The time has finally come to introduce the last piece of the Combat puzzle.

Endgame Content Pt.3 introduces the final boss for Melvor Idle, as well as a lot of new Monsters, Items and balance changes across Combat.

It has been a very long time coming, and the inclusion this brings is one of the largest additions to the game we have ever done. I’ll do my best to break down exactly what we added, and what has changed.

Impending Darkness Event

The Final Boss is hidden deep inside an “Event”. Your task is to slay various Monsters who have succumbed to the final boss’ mysterious mist and eventually defeat him when the chance arises.

Event Mechanics

The event requires Level 99 in all Skills, access to all Slayer areas.

Upon beginning the Event, all Combat content will be locked and will remain locked until the Event is either finished, ended, or you die.

Upon starting the Event, you will be greeted with a popup asking you to select a random modifier combination from a selection of 3. The modifiers you select will apply to every single Monster you face during the event.

After this, your task is to trawl through the hardest Slayer Areas in the game, defeating a random number of Monsters (5-8) within that area until it has been cleared. The final monster you face within the respective areas will be a “Boss” version of one of the Monsters.

Upon clearing all of the Slayer Areas, the Final Boss will appear to try and stop you in your tracks. You must defeat him to continue to the next part of the event.

Event Cycles

The Event occurs for a total of 5 cycles. One cycle is completed after defeating the Final Boss, in which you will then begin the next cycle, repeating the above Mechanics.

The completion of a cycle will provide you with a set reward for your efforts. This reward is always the same, depending on what cycle you just completed.

When beginning a new cycle, you will be asked to select another modifier combination. This Combination you select is then added to all previous Modifiers you selected. This means by cycle 5, you will have 5 different Modifier combinations active at the same time, so choose wisely.

The very last Monster you face at the end of Cycle 5 is the true Final Boss. Good luck, you will need it.

Important Information

There’s some very important information you need to know about the event, so please read this as it will clear a lot of confusion about how the Event works:

  • The Event takes roughly 2 hours to complete, assuming you don’t die and are well prepared.
  • You only need to complete the event once for all possible rewards.
  • All Combat content is locked during the event. You cannot do any Combat outside of what the Event provides.
  • Yes, you are able to train Non-Combat Skills during the event (Just not at the same time of course).
  • Your event progress will be saved, and the only way to reset the event is to either manually end it with the provided button, or by dying. Closing the game or training a Non-Combat Skill will not reset the event.
  • Running in Combat during the event will not reset the event. If something is too hard, you may Run from Combat and attempt it again.
  • This is a safe Event for Hardcore Characters. Dying in here will not result in the loss of your character.

New Combat and Slayer Areas

Endgame Content Pt.3 introduces new Monsters for you to tackle.

New Skill: Astrology

Introduction

Astrology is the final Skill to be added to Melvor Idle for v1.0.

Now, ignore all the modern day Horoscope nonsense and let me take you back to medieval times where Melvor Idle is set.

Astrology is all about discovery of the Stars, or “constellations” as they are referred to in Melvor Idle. Utilising your knowledge of these constellations to empower your character with bonuses in almost every Skill in the game.

The idea behind Astrology was to go back to the complete basics of Melvor Idle and implement a Skill that provides nothing but bonuses to you. There are no external GP Costs, Item Costs, Level requirements or anything within this Skill. It is something that can be solely trained alone without the help of another external Skill.

Everything you need to level up and unlock new bonuses comes from Astrology itself.

At heart Astrology is a “gathering” Skill. A Skill that can be trained all the way until Level 99 without requiring anything else. It’s a breath of fresh air from the complexity the game has to offer with the recent Skills added to the game.

Mechanics

There are 11 unique constellations for you to study, each assigned two different Skills that can be boosted.

You are able to study these constellations to earn Skill XP, unlocking their benefits as you continue to progress. Studying any constellation will provide a chance for two new resources to be acquired automatically - Stardust and Golden Stardust.

Within each constellation you will find 6 different Stars that each grants a random modifier. The modifier that is applied to these stars can be rolled by you at a cost of Stardust or Golden Stardust, and are chosen from a predetermined list of modifiers that are visible within the constellations themselves.

The Modifiers you roll are active at all times, and will remain active until you decide to reroll it for a new one.

Standard and Unique Modifiers

The modifiers you are able to roll are separated into two distinct categories - Standard Modifiers and Unique Modifiers.

Standard Modifiers are largely the same within all constellations, depending on whether the Skill they benefit is Combat related or not. Each constellation houses 3 stars that can contain one Standard Modifier each. These are rerolled at the cost of Stardust

Unique Modifiers provide bonuses unique to that constellation only, and are generally great modifiers to have active throughout the game. Each constellation houses 3 stars that can contain one Unique Modifier each. These are enrolled at the cost of Golden Stardust. But be careful, Golden Stardust is quite rare to come by.

Expansion

Although Astrology is simple in terms of its mechanics and purpose in the game, it has been designed with future expansion in mind. This skill opens up a lot of different avenues for the game, and will eventually provide a lot of unique mechanics to the game which will be quite noticeable in the Level 120 Content Expansion.

Right now, the Skill is all about giving you nothing but bonuses. In the future, it will be the doorway to new mechanics and pathways when levelling up a character.

Astrology will also help you with the challenges to come in Endgame Content Pt.3 and beyond.

4th Equipment Set

With the introduction of Astrology being the final Skill added to the game, it’s time to finally give you one of the most requested additions.

You are now able to purchase a 4th Equipment Set from the Shop. It requires Level 99 Astrology and 100M GP to unlock. This will be fantastic for a Skilling setup.

New Potion

We have added a Secret Stardust Potion to Herblore which will greatly assist in your Astrology training, even well beyond Level 99.

Statistics 2.0

It’s been a long time coming, but I can finally introduce you to the new Statistics 2.0 that has been included in this update.

The aim for this rework wasn’t necessarily to provide you with every single stat imaginable, but it was more to rework the whole system behind the scenes that will allow for very easy implementation of new stats in the future.

With this rework, many stats have either been reset or are sitting at 0. This is due to it not being possible to track statistics that were never tracked in the first place.

Of course, we have added more stats for more Skills alongside this.

We have added statistics for the following:

  • Agility
  • Summoning
  • Astrology
  • Alt. Magic
  • Melee Combat
  • Ranged COmbat
  • Magic Combat
  • Prayer
  • Slayer
  • Shop

All non-Combat skills now have these additional stats:

  • Total actions performed
  • Time spent in Skill
  • Total items created
  • Total resources used
  • Total resources preserved

Some new notable Stat additions:

  • Account Age (Not retroactive)
  • Signet Ring Halves Missed

You will continue to see many new Statistics over coming updates and Expansions.


Updated Completion Log

The Completion Log has finally received its well overdue facelift!

This update brings in new UI enhancements, and some lovely celebration animations so you can party with yourself for achieving a massive Milestone in a singleplayer game.

New Completion Log UI

  • The Completion Log has moved to its own page, where you can select the Completion Category you wish to view, as well as see a total completion progress bar at the top!

Updated Item Log

  • The Item Log now as some minor UI changes to make it look nicer
  • You can now search for items within the Item Log
  • Hovering/tapping on a hidden item will now tell you the name of the Item that is yet to be discovered.
  • There’s a few new Item Log filtering options - Show All, Show Discovered Items, Show Undiscovered Items.

Updated Monster & Pet Log

  • Minor UI facelift of the Monster & Pet Log, increasing the size of the images.
  • Monster Log is now separated into Normal Monsters and Dungeon Bosses at the bottom.

New Milestone Celebration Animations

Upon reaching a Milestone, you will now be greeted with a lovely fireworks display to congratulate you on your achievement.

Milestones that activate the animation
  • Reaching Level 99 in any Skill
  • Achieving 100% Completion
  • Achieving 100% Mastery
  • Achieving 100% Items
  • Achieving 100% Monsters
  • Achieving 100% Pets

Updated Popup UI for Milestones

Some Milestones have received a new UI to better communicate the achievement you reached:

  • Levelling up any Skill now has a nice popup at the top of the screen.
  • Achieving Level 99 Mastery for any item will provide a similar popup at the top of the screen.
  • Fireworks :D

Tutorial Island

This is well overdue, but we finally got there in the end!

Tutorial Island has been added to the game which will guide new players through the basic mechanics and Skills that Melvor Idle has to offer.

Upon beginning a new Character, you will drop into Tutorial Island and be required to complete basic tasks. It’s quite similar to how Old School RuneScape does it, and it should provide the player with enough basic knowledge to get going on their adventure.

If you do not want to do the Tutorial, you can skip it with the required button.

I hope the addition of Tutorial Island will assist players with the initial overwhelming feeling you generally receive when first loading up the game. It takes roughly 10-20 minutes to complete.

Tick-Based Skills

We promised a little while ago that eventually all Skills will transition to a Tick-Based system, just like Combat and Thieving currently are.

The benefits of Tick-Based Skills means you can progress through a Skill at an identical rate online as you can offline. It also means development of skills is a lot easier for us because we do not need to manage two separate code bases for online and offline functionality.

Tick-Based Skills also provide the benefit of Mastery bonuses applying at the exact time you level up, meaning you do not need to log in to the game to activate Mastery bonuses.

This update transitions two Skills to the new Tick-Based System:

  • Firemaking
  • Mining

The transition to Tick-Based also means the Controlled Heat & Perfect Swing Potions now work offline!

Mining also received a minor QoL update in the process:

  • Mining nodes now passively regenerate 1 HP every 10 seconds.
  • Depleting a node will still act the same as before and restore it to full HP after a set time period.

A lot of reported Mining bugs were also rectified in this transition. We will detail those below in the Bug Fix change list.

Offline Time Cap Increase

Now that the game is finally complete, and we have a total of 23 Skills for you to train, I was now able to look at the whole picture and see what changes would benefit the player the most.

The Offline Time Cap of 12 hours is reasonable, up until a certain point. I solely believe that as more content is added to the game, this time cap should gradually increase alongside it.

The Offline Time Cap has been increased to 18 hours for all players.

Now, this does not mean every content update will come with an increase. It simply means that it is an area I consider upon updating the game. Nothing is always set in stone, and I’m always listening to feedback around to game in areas like this.

New Farming Plant Option (QoL)

The addition of Passive Cooking and utilisation of multiple farming ingredients made it clear that Farming needed a slight adjustment to help with your crop management.

This update comes equipped with a new “Plant All Selected” Farming option.

You can now assign any seed to a plot in the respective seed category, and the game will plant that seed in that plot when you press this button.

This means you are now able to grow many different crops at the same time with the click of a single button.

The new planting option is unlocked for everyone, there is no shop upgrade required to activate it.

Looting QoL

This is one of the most discussed and suggested changes Melvor Idle has ever seen. I don’t think there is a day that goes by where a suggestion to do something about the Looting mechanic, especially for late game players.

As the development of the game progressed, and the content you faced became harder, it became clear that the absolute requirement to have the Amulet of Looting equipped for your grinds was not a good mechanic to have.

In general, it is okay to use it for part of the game, but not for everything you face after acquiring it.

These changes aim to make Looting a bit better for all players, and also open up an Amulet slot for late game players taking on harder content.

  • Running from Combat will now automatically loot everything in the Loot container. No more accidental lost loot.
  • There is a new Looting Shop Upgrade - Unlocks the ability for all items to Stack within the Loot Container.
  • Increased the Loot Container to 100 slots, up from 16. This should allow for a majority of items to stay inside the loot container with the stacking shop upgrade unlocked.

These 3 changes when combined should provide a much better looting experience for all.

New Melvor Idle Logo & Branding

As you have already noticed, Melvor Idle has a brand new logo!

This is something I have always wanted to explore, and now with 1.0 just around the corner, it was the perfect time to get it done.

I am absolutely in love with how the logo turned out, and I believe it really shows the personality Melvor Idle has to offer.

Alongside the new logo, I have many new assets and artwork to use on various platforms to keep everything consistent and in line with the game’s design principles.

Localisation

Important Note: Localisation will not be activated until 1.0 is officially released on November 18.

Melvor Idle will now be localised in the following 13 different languages:

  • English
  • French
  • Italian
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Turkish
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Korean
  • Japanese

This will hopefully open up the game to many new players around the world, and will allow for more people to enjoy the game in their native language.

Every update, including changelogs and store pages, will be localised in the same 13 languages.


Other Changes

Here is a list of other new things and changes that did not fit in the above categories.

Changes

Alpha v0.22 - (29th September 2021)

Thieving Rework

Thieving has always been one of the most lackluster Skills in the game. Providing no real benefits to the game apart from a few items, as well as having no purpose late game other than to pickpocket the Farmer was a sure enough factor to rework the Skill.

The aim of this rework is to transition the Skill into an early to mid-game Skill while providing unique bonuses and content that you cannot find anywhere else. We also wanted to ensure Thieving remained viable and somewhat important late-game by the use of consumable items you can only obtain via this Skill.

Due to the nature of this rework, it was not possible to award any Thieving Offline Progress if you were doing so when the update dropped. You will be greeted with some flavour text upon your return.

New NPCs and Unique Drops

We have introduced 15 brand new helpless NPCs for you to pickpocket, many of which are home to unique items that can only be found in Thieving.

NPCs also now reside in different areas or locations (Kind of like Fishing). Alongside the unique drops from the NPC themselves, you are also able to find unique "area" items which only drop from NPCs within the respective location.

Some of the new drops provide bonuses to Skills or Combat, while others are simply worth a good amount of GP when you sell it.

You may even find some exotic

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Crafting materials, which can be used to make special pouches and bags to aid in your adventures even more.

The Art of Stealth

This rework introduces two new mechanics known as Stealth and Perception.

Perception is a measure of how difficult an NPC is to steal from, while Stealth is how good you are at stealing.

Your Stealth competes against an NPC's Perception

  • Your success rate is determined by: [math]\displaystyle{ 100 \times \tfrac{100 + \text{Stealth}}{100 + \text{Perception}}\% }[/math]
  • Your chance to double items is increased by: [math]\displaystyle{ 25 \times \tfrac{\text{Stealth}}{\text{Perception}}\% }[/math]
  • Your chance to receive an NPC's unique item is: [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{100 + \text{Stealth}}{100 \times \text{Perception}}\% }[/math]

Stealth can be increased in a number of ways:

  • Increasing your Thieving level
  • Increasing your Mastery level
  • Filling your Thieving Mastery Pool
  • Equipping items with Stealth bonuses
  • Potions from Herblore
  • Agility Courses

Balance Changes

Thieving has been completely rebalanced. The old NPCs have had their level requirements and xp amounts readjusted. Combining this with the addition of new NPCs, leveling Thieving should now be much smoother, and make a decent amount of gp along the way.

The level requirements of NPCs have been adjusted:

  • Golbin from 10 to 8
  • Lumberjack from 20 to 61
  • Farmer from 30 to 39
  • Fisherman from 40 to 54
  • Chef from 50 to 34
  • Miner from 60 to 70
  • Knight from 75 to 88

The base xp of NPCs has been adjusted:

  • Lumberjack from 20 to 62
  • Farmer from 30 to 36
  • Fisherman from 45 to 46
  • Chef from 55 to 31
  • Miner from 65 to 73
  • Knight from 90 to 107

The maximum GP of NPCs has been adjusted:

  • Man from 20 to 100
  • Golbin from 50 to 175
  • Lumberjack from 100 to 500
  • Farmer from 120 to 400
  • Fisherman from 140 to 450
  • Chef from 160 to 300
  • Miner from 180 to 550
  • Knight from 200 to 750

The Max Hit of NPCs has been adjusted (Standard Mode numbers):

  • Man from 10 to 22
  • Golbin from 20 to 40
  • Lumberjack from 30 to 155
  • Farmer from 30 to 137
  • Fisherman from 40 to 101
  • Chef from 40 to 108
  • Miner from 40 to 180
  • Knight from 50 to 241

Furthermore, anything that used to provide bonuses to Thieving success rate or success rate cap have been changed to provide increases to Stealth or other bonuses.

For a complete list of changes, check out the full Changelog

Interface Overhaul

The interface for Thieving has been completely redone.

NPCs are now displayed in areas, similar to Fishing. Information, such as doubling chance and thieving interval, are now also shown, similar to Smithing or Fletching.

A "Show Drops" button has been added. This allows you to see your GP gains, as well as potential loot drops from an NPC. Drops are hidden by the use of a question mark until you find them at least once.

Thieving is Now Tick Based

Thieving has now been transitioned to be tick-based system, just like combat. This has resulted in the following benefits:

  • Thieving now has the same resistance to browser throttling that combat has
  • Offline and Online thieving are now consistent with eachother as they use the same codebase.
  • Mastery now levels up offline and provides the benefits instead of using the fixed mastery level you had when you went offline
  • Food is now consumed while Thieving offline
  • You can now perform offline thieving even if your success rate isn't 100%; however, it is now also possible to die

Cooking Rework

The long awaiting Cooking Rework is here!

The aim of this rework is to provide a large rebalance to the use of Food throughout the game, while also providing more options to the Player in what they wish to produce.

Some much requested Quality of Life features have been added, alongside a new “Passive Cooking” mechanic that should provide an extra pair of hands throughout your Melvor journey.

Offline Progress will be awarded for those who were Cooking Offline when the update dropped. Your Offline Progress will be subject to the changes and new mechanics listed.

Cooking Furnace and Cooking Pot

Alongside the Cooking Fire, we have now introduced the Cooking Furnace and Cooking Pot.

These new Cooking Utilities (That's what I call them) unlock a wide range of new unique multi-ingredient products you can cook and use in Combat or Thieving.

They act the same way as the Cooking Fire does, while also providing their own unique bonuses within Cooking itself.

Each Cooking Utility is home to different types Food for you to Cook that can only be obtained by using the respective Fire, Furnace or Pot.

These are required to be purchased from within the Shop prior to being able to use them.

Active Cooking and Passive Cooking

A new mechanic you will notice straight away is the Active Cooking and Passive Cooking buttons implemented into the Cooking UI for each Cooking utility.

Active Cooking

This is your standard way to Cook Food. This will provide you with Skill XP, Mastery XP, Mastery Pool XP and all relevant bonuses relating to the Food you are Cooking.

Only one product can be Actively Cooked at any given time.

Passive Cooking

A brand-new way to Cook Food which will assist with your progression throughout the game.

Passive Cooking is a method of food production that can be done alongside the food you are Actively Cooking, at the same time.

Any Cooking utility that is not being used can perform Passive Cooking as long as you are Actively Cooking something on a different Cooking Utility.

For example: You can be Actively Cooking Fish and can start Passively Cooking Food on the Furnace and Pot at the same time.

Passively Cooked Food is added to something called a “Stockpile”. There is one Stockpile for each Cooking Utility, and this Stockpile can only house one type of Food until it is collected by you. The game will not let you Passively Cook anything if the item sitting in the Stockpile is different from the one your are attempting to produce.

Passive Cooking comes with some very important mechanics that you need to be aware of:

  • No Skill XP, Mastery XP, Mastery Pool XP or Bonuses are provided to Passively Cooked Food. This is solely a Food production mechanic.
  • It takes 5 times as long to Passively Cook a Product than it does to Actively Cook (subject to balance during Test).
  • Recipe costs are the same.
  • Passive Cooks do not count as an "action", therefore they cannot roll for Pets, Mastery Tokens, or other Global Rare Items.

Passive Cooking does work Offline, and your Passively Cooked Food will be stored in your Stockpile. The Offline Progress notification will tell you what has been stored in the stockpile.

In the event you stop Actively Cooking something, all items you are Passively Cooking will also stop. You cannot Passively Cook until you are Actively Cooking something.

Perfect Cook

Perfect Cook is a new mechanic that produces an upgraded version of the base product you are Cooking, providing extra Food Healing values as well as a much higher base Sale Price.

Each Active Cook action has a chance to provide a Perfect product. This chance can be increased using Mastery and other means. It is possible to acquire 100% Perfect Cook chance at later stages of the game.

Perfect Cook is classed as a bonus; therefore, it is not possible to produce a Perfect product using the Passive Cook mechanic.

There is a Setting on the Cooking Page and also in the Settings Page to enable or disable Perfect Cooking. If you do not wish to receive Perfect Items, you can simply toggle it off.

Successful Cook and the removal of Burnt Items

One thing we discussed during the planning process was the use that burnt food provides to the game.

We were quick to decide that burnt products add literally no benefit to the game. This led to the decision that burnt products will no longer be obtainable as we transition to a Successful Cook mechanic.

Now, products that fail to cook will be yeeted into oblivion, providing nothing for your efforts to Cook something delicious.

For those concerned about a specific item that requires Burnt Cave Fish to obtain – take a look at the drop table for the Tentacle Monster in Sandy Shores.

This also means all Burnt Food, except the Burnt Cave Fish, is no longer required for 100% item completion (They are also worth 0 GP now).

New Shop Upgrades

Along with the rework, we have two new Shop upgrades for you to purchase.

These are Quality of Life upgrades that will help streamline your progression.

  • Cooking Upgrade 1 - Automatically equip Food that is Actively Cooked if that Food is already equipped, or an empty Food slot is available. This can be toggled on or off.
  • Cooking Upgrade 2 - When running out of Food in Combat, automatically swap to a different Food Slot that contains food. This can be toggled on or off.

Food Source & Usage Rebalancing

Along with all the new content added within this rework, we need to address another part of the update.

This rework gave us the opportunity to look at the whole picture in terms of Food and how it is used throughout the game and come to a solution to balance this to our expectations of the game.

Here are the main points for the rebalance (Details below in changelog):

  • Healing value for all Farming products has been nerfed quite a lot, in favour of using these products in Cooked Products.
  • The base interval for Cooking Carps, Sharks, Cave Fish, Manta Rays and Whales has been increased.
  • The base sale price for above-mentioned Fish has been increased to accommodate for the increased intervals.
  • The minimum base interval in Fishing for all Cookable Fish has been increased. Maximum base interval remains unchanged. This means on average they will take longer to catch.

It's all well and good to address the Food itself, but we also took the opportunity to address food usage within Combat which will also provide some interesting new mechanics throughout the Combat Areas:

  • All Monsters within the Spider Forest Dungeon now have a Special Attack which introduces the brand new Poison mechanic.
  • All Monsters within the Icy Hills Combat Area, and Frozen Cove Dungeon now have a Special Attack, introducing the brand new Frostburn ailment.
  • All Monsters within the Dragon Valley Combat Area now have a Dragonbreath Special Attack (Weaker than existing ones). This also means these Monsters that appear in the Dragon's Den also contain the new Special Attack.
  • All Monsters within the Arid Plains Slayer Area now have a Lesser Sandstorm Special Attack. The Sandbeast keeps it's existing Sandstorm Special Attack.
  • The Elementalist now has 4 different Special Attacks. All with a low chance to proc, they will either inflict Stun, Burn, Freeze or Frostburn upon you.
  • The Bandit Leader in the Bandit Camp Dungeon has a new Special Attack.
  • The Elder Dragon in the Dragon's Den also has a Special Attack now.

Food Healing Changes

  • Seahorses from 130 to 120

  • Onions from 20 to 6
  • Cabbage from 30 to 9

  • Sweetcorn from 50 to 16
  • Strawberries from 60 to 20
  • Watermelons from 70 to 36
  • Snape Grass from 80 to 40
  • Carrots from 90 to 28

Base Cooking Interval Changes

Decreased the base Cooking Interval of:

  • Shrimp from 3s to 2s
  • Sardine from 3s to 2s

Increased the base Cooking Interval of:

  • Seahorses from 3s to 4s
  • Trout from 3s to 4s
  • Salmon from 3s to 4s

  • Salmon from 30 to 40

  • Fanfish from 60 to 120

  • Shark from 80 to 186
  • Cave Fish from 100 to 233
  • Manta Ray from 125 to 291
  • Whale from 150 to 400

Food Sale Price Changes

  • Seahorses from 50 to 65
  • Trout from 20 to 27
  • Salmon from 43 to 58
  • Lobster from 81 to 108
  • Swordfish from 100 to 134
  • Anglerfish from 125 to 209
  • Fanfish from 150 to 250
  • Crab from 168 to 280
  • Carp from 237 to 395
  • Shark from 337 to 674
  • Cave Fish from 269 to 538
  • Manta Ray from 812 to 1624
  • Whale from 1024 to 2048

New Agility Obstacles

  • Tier 8 - Sweltering Pools - +3% Mastery XP in Cooking, -3% Cooking Interval, +10% Healing Value for Food, +10% Auto Eat Efficiency, -20% Global Preservation Chance.

New Potion UI

The Potion UI has got a massive facelift, bringing a brand new design and functionality to help guide you through your Potion hoarding issues.

The brand new Potion UI comes equipped with:

  • Brand new UI inside of a popup that is much more pleasing to look at, with a layout that can fit more Potions on one screen.
  • You can now disable an active Potion by clicking the "Cancel" button.
  • You can now toggle "Auto Re-use Potion" on a per Skill basis from the new UI. This is no longer a Global Setting (Remember Combat is still classed as one Skill).
  • Added new filter settings to hide selected Potion Tiers. Your active Potion will always show.

Ancient Sword Rework

Something I wanted to highlight was the changes made to the Ancient Sword. It was a very lackluster Weapon, and was always overlooked in favour of other Weapon choices. This rework aims to address the issues and give it a unique place in the game.

The Ancient Sword now:

  • Provides +20% Damage to all Monsters when you have 100% HP.
  • Has a Special Attack chance of 100%, meaning it will always proc.
  • Roughly 2 times more common to obtain from the Pirate Booty chest.
  • Has a reduced Special Attack Lifesteal bonus of 20%, down from 25%.

Hopefully these changes make the Weapon a viable choice for those around the mid-game.

Alpha v0.21 - (13th August 2021)

Introduction

The Major Update is a lot different than all previous ones released. It focuses on providing an extremely important feature to the game, as well as fixing a lot of issues that have been present.

The lack of new content or changes to explore in this update might be disappointing to some, but I hope what it does provide is the functionality and stability you have been looking for in Melvor Idle.

I also want to point out that pretty much all credit for this update must be handed over to Coolrox95. He was the one who developed the Combat Rewrite and Offline Combat portion of this update. It has allowed for easier growth and scalability within the game, and also enabled one of the most important and highly requested features of the game to become a reality.

I ask that you pass on all thanks to him for this, as this update is not mine to take any credit for.

Combat Rewrite

It was well overdue, but the complete rewrite of Combat has been done. This rewrite will allow for faster development, as well as cleaning up many inconsistencies that exist throughout the previous Combat system.

What has Changed?

Most of the rework focused on the back-end side of things, changing the way Combat itself works and operates behind the scenes.

From a general player perspective, you won't notice much of a change at all. There are a few new QoL additions which are detailed below.

The most important change is that Combat has been transitioned to a tick-based system. What this means is that Combat performs its operations every 50ms, allowing for accurate calculations as well as increasing general performance.

New Stuff & QoL

There's a few new features and QoL that you will enjoy:

  • All buffs and debuffs will now display as an icon next to your HP (As well as the Enemy's). They also contain a tooltip detailing their effects and a number showing how many turns are remaining on the debuff.
  • Improved Damage Splashes allow for better visualization of when players/enemies are damaged and healed, and what source the damage is from.
  • Special Attack descriptions that contain buffs/debuffs will nwo highlight the buff/debuff in a different text colour.
  • Hot-swapping equipment is now possible, which means you can swap gear with a full bank and not have to worry about clearing a slot to unequip something if it is a direct swap.
  • Equipping a two-handed weapon, Javelins or Throwing Knives will now display that same weapon within the 2nd slot it takes up (slightly faded image).
  • There is now a Setting to disable Combat Progress bars if they are causing performance issues.
  • Due to the tick-based functionality, the new Combat system will mitigate browser throttling automatically by comparing timestamps and awarding you the correct progress if a large enough difference is detected.

There has also been some changes to Player Stat Calculations which will make them consistent across the board.

Changes to Player Stat Calculations

Several formulas for player stat calculations have been tweaked slightly to make them consistent with the stat calculations of enemies, as well as correcting some inconsistencies between the different ranged, magic and melee calculations. Overall these changes have resulted in a slight buff to players in combat. Outlined below are the changes to each of the core stats.

Melee & Ranged Max Hits

The base calculation for melee and ranged max hit has remained the same and is as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mat Hit} = \left \lfloor \text{Gamemode Multiplier} \times \left (1.3 + \frac{\text{Effective Strength Level}}{10} + \frac{\text{Strength Bonus}}{80} + \frac{\text{Effective Strength Level} \times \text{Strength Bonus}}{640} \right ) \right \rfloor }[/math]

Strength bonus rtefers to the bonus provided by equipment. Gamemode Multiplier refers to the multiplier to all HP related values for a gamemode. This is 10 for Standard and Hardcore mode, and 100 for Adventure mode. Effective Strength Level is calculated from the player's skill levels and any hidden levels. This calculation has been changed for players to be consistent with enemies as follows:

Effective Melee Strength Level

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Strength Level} + \text{Hidden Strength Levels} + 8 }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Strength Level} + \text{Hidden Strength Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Effective Ranged Strength Level

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Ranged Level} + \text{Hidden Ranged Levels} + \text{Style Bonus} }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Ranged Level} + \text{Hidden Ranged Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Note: The style bonus for the Accurate style has been changed to just provide +3 Hidden Ranged Levels. Overall this change increases the Effective Ranged Strength level by +9.

Magic Max Hits

The base calculation for magic max hit as remained the same for players:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Max Hit} = \left \lfloor \text{Gamemode Multiplier} \times \text{Spell Max Hit} \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Magic Damage Bonus}}{100} \right ) \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Magic Level} + \text{Hidden Magic Levels} + 1}{200} \right ) \right \rfloor }[/math]

Magic Damage Bonus is the percent bonus provided by equipment.

Enemies have been changed to use the same formula as players, and have had their spell selection and magic damage bonuses adjusted to produce similar max hits as before, resulting in slightly lower values overall.

Evasion Ratings

The base calculation for evasion ratings is as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion Rating} = \text{Effective Defence Level} \times \left ( \text{Defence Bonus} + 64 \right ) }[/math]

Melee Evasion

The effective defence level calculation has been changed to be consistent with Ranged and Magic Evasion.

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Defence Level} + \text{Hidden Defence Levels} + 8 }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Defence Level} + \text{Hidden Defence Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Ranged Evasion

The effective defence level calculation has remained the same as:

Effective Defence Level: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Defence Level} + \text{Hidden Defence Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Magic Evasion

The effective defence level calculation has remained the same as:

Effective Defence Level: [math]\displaystyle{ 0.7 \times \left ( \text{Magic Level} + \text{Hidden Magic Levels} \right ) + 0.3 \times \left ( \text{Defence Level} + \text{Hidden Defence Levels} + 9 \right ) }[/math]

Accuracy Ratings

The base calculation for accuracy rating is as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy Rating} = \text{Effective Attack Level} \times \left ( \text{Attack Bonus} + 64 \right ) }[/math]

The attack bonus is the bonus provided by equipment

Melee Accuracy

The effective attack level calculation has been changed:

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Attack Level} + \text{Hidden Attack Levels} + 8 }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Attack Level} + \text{Hidden Attack Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Ranged Accuracy

The effective attack level calculation has been changed:

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Ranged Level} + \text{Hidden Ranged Levels} + \text{Style Bonus} }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Ranged Level} + \text{Hidden Ranged Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Note: The style bonus for the Accuracy style has been changed to just provide +3 Hidden Ranged Levels. Overall this change increases the Effective Attack Level by +1.

Magic Accuracy

The effective attack level calculation has been changed:

Old: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Magic Level} + \text{Hidden Magic Levels} + 8 }[/math]

New: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Magic Level} + \text{Hidden Magic Levels} + 9 }[/math]

Summoning Max Hit

Summoning max hit has been changed to combine the values of both Summons. Previously it was the largest value of both Summons.

The structure of all items, special attacks, Monsters etc. has changed, so this means a lot of scripts and extensions that interact with Combat will no longer work. Please be cautious of this.

Offline Combat

Along with the rewrite, Offline Combat has also been added.

Offline Combat follows the same rules and functionality of all other Skills in the game. There is a 12 hour Offline cap, and you will be provided with your experience and items upon returning to the game.

The benefit of a tick-based system really shows here, allowing for players to log back into the game at the extact moment they would be if they were training Online.

Here is a breakdown of general Offline Combat features:

  • Offline Combat is calculated exactly as it would be if you were training Online.
  • Returning from an Offline Session will continue exactly where you would be if you were training Online. This includes the progress of a Dungeon, the HP of you or the Monster, and also how far into an Attack you are.
  • All dynamic modifiers to players and enemies are taken into account while Offline, including temporary modifiers from special attacks.
  • All Combat content can be completed Offline, with the exception of Into the Mist where you will return to the game at the start of the first boss fight (Due to the Dungeon Pause mechanic)
  • Auto slayer works Offline, and follows the same rules as Online does when selecting a new Monster to fight.
  • Amulet of Looting works Offline and will collect all Loot, as long as you have the available Bank space. Training without this Amulet will cause your loot to fill up the loot container (Max 16 slots)
  • Bone Amulet works Offline and will bury all Bones that are dropped automatically.
  • All Combat Summoning Familiars and their respective Synergies work Offline.
  • Offline Progress popup will display relevant XP gained, Monsters killed, food consumed, Prayer Points Used, Runes & Arrow consumption, Slayer Coins earned, Summoning Tablet usage, number of Slayer Tasks completed.
  • Yes, it is possible to die Offline (More details about this below)

Dying Offline

As mentioned above, it is possible to die while Offline in Combat.

Dying while Offline will result in the same consequences as dying Online. This means losing an Item for Standard/Adventure Characters and losing your Character entirely for Hardcore Characters.

If you die Offline, Combat will not progress. There is also no way of the game notifying you that you died while away due to the nature of the game.

To help mitigate the risk of accidental deaths, these have been added to the game:

  • Offline Combat is disabled by default, and must be enabled by the Player.
  • Attempting to enable Offline Combat will display a large warning screen, where a Player must agree to the listed points before being able to turn it on.
  • Offline Combat can be disabled at any time. Re-enabling will require the same points as above to be agreed upon again.
  • You can now view the stats and special attacks of Monsters you have killed from the Monster log.

Offline Combat is DISABLED by default for all Characters. You will be required to enable it for each Character if you wish to use it (You won't miss the notification in game). This can be enabled/disabled as you please from the Settings page.

Alpha v0.20 - (11th June 2021)

Summoning

Introduction

Summoning is one of the largest and most in-depth Skills to have been released to date. It plays a large role in the world of Melvor, cementing its dark and rich history waiting to be uncovered by you.

This Skill requires you to utilize almost every single other Skill in the game in order to progress and unlock more content. As you continue to level up, you will unlock more powerful and unique benefits to give you that extra edge throughout the game.

Below outlines the basic mechanics of the Skill, and also provides an insight in what to expect from Summoning.

Familiars

Discovering the existence of Summoning has provided you with the knowledge of a dark magic only told in tales.

You are given the ability to equip not only one, but TWO Familiars to aid you in your journey throughout Melvor.

There is a selection of 20 different Familiars, each one providing you with a unique passive bonus. They also use charges (Just like Ranged Ammo), and are consumed every time and action is taken relating to the passive of your Familiar.

However, great power like this must be earned, and is only given to those who take the time to learn about the Familiar's respective Mark.

Combat Familiars

Half of the Familiars are classed as "Combat Familiars" and provide general benefits to assist within Combat.

On top of this, Combat Familiars also have the ability to attack enemies. They attack every 3 seconds, and have a pre-defined Max Hit (Which is visible during Combat). Their accuracy/chance to hit is the same as yours.

And no, they cannot be hit or attacked by the Enemy :)

Marks

Hidden throughout the world of Melvor are the secrets that contain the true power of Summoning, granting the dark magic to those who discover them.

Upon discovering a Mark, you will be able to harness its power by creating Summoning Tablets based on respective Familiars, allowing you to utilize their benefits on your adventure.

These Marks can be further researched and levelled up to unlock even greater power relating to your Familiar in the form of Synergies.

If you happen to have the respective Familiar equipped while searching for further Marks, then the drop rate of the Marks will be doubled.

For those wondering - Levelling up all the Marks to the maximum Level (4) is required for 100% completion. This is due to a new Pet that is being introduced (Named Mark) that is unlocked once you achieve this goal.

Synergies

Tales tell of an ancient bond that can be formed between two different Familiars. Although this has never been witnessed, it takes true knowledge to be able to achieve such a thing.

By levelling up your Marks, you will unlock Synergies between Familiars that grants an extra unique passive that is active as long as both Familiars are equipped. These passives are unique in what they provide, and can assist greatly during your training.

Synergies are unlocked when their respective Mark levels meet the requirements. Higher level Marks unlock higher tier Synergies.

There are roughly 90 Synergies to unlock and discover.

To make it easier for you, there is also an integrated Synergy Search function within the game that allows you to search for any unlocked Synergy with ease. This search functionality also allows you to equip this Synergy directly from the search results.

Shards

Shards are the core ingredient for Summoning Tablet creation, and can be obtained only from the Shop at a cost of GP.

All Summoning Tablets use a variety of Shards in their creation, and there are 6 different coloured Shards to utilize.

Tablet Creation

Tablet Creation is very similar to all other crafting related Skills in the game.

However, Summoning adds another element to this process in the form of "Alternate Recipes". You will find that many of the Summoning Tablets you can create have multiple recipes to select from. Some even have up to 20 different recipes!

The quantity of items required within the recipes are weighted against the base sale price of the item.

There is a recipe for every stage of the game you're at, but not all of them will be efficient.

Levelling the Skill

As is the theme of this Skill, levelling it is a little bit different than all the others.

There are two ways to earn Skill XP:

  • Creating Summoning Tablets
  • Using Tablet charges, by equipping the Familiar and using them in the game

The Summoning Skill XP you earn while using charges is weighted against the interval of your action, as well as the Summoning Level required to unlock that Familiar. Generally this means that using a high level Summoning will give you more XP.

NOTE: Mastery XP can only be earned via Summoning Tablet Creation

New Items and Content

With the introduction of a new Skill, there is also new items and content that come along with it. This includes:

  • Four new equippable items in the Slayer Shop to assist with Summoning
  • Two new Agility Obstacles to also assist with Summoning
  • Yet another new Herblore Potion for (you guessed it) Summoning
  • And of course, we also have the Summoning Skillcape and the Summoning Mastery Token

Woodcutting Changes

Woodcutting has been causing some serious balance issues for the game, as well as any new content planning to be added. Specifically, it is the Multi-Tree upgrade you can purchase from the Shop that is causing these issues.

Multi-Tree allowed you to cut two trees simultaneously. This means each tree was running on its own timer and was rolling rare items for each of these actions. The result of this "double action" meant Woodcutting was always the go-to Skill for any rare items such as Mysterious Stones, Pets (Like Ty, and future global Pets), Signet Ring Half (a), and was also the go-to for the Summoning content during testing (gaining upwards of 2M xp/hr).

The upgrade you can purchase was one of the very first Shop items you could buy in the very early days of Melvor Idle (when there was only 5 Skills in total). It has stuck around since, and I'm actually surprised it lasted this long. The fact that no similar mechanics exist in other Skills should provide some evidence as to how I feel about this kind of mechanic in general.

Instead of leaving it as is and balancing around it or applying exceptions to Woodcutting only for current and future content, now was the right time to adjust the mechanics and bring the Skill back in line with the general feel of the game. However, I have done this in a way that retains the original purpose of the Multi-Tree Upgrade.

Summarized Changes to Woodcutting

  • Multi-Tree is now being combined into one single action
  • Your action's interval is determined by the highest interval out of both trees you are cutting
  • The XP you earn is weighted against the interval stated above. This means XP rates have not actually changed, and are staying the same
  • Logs are provided in the same way the above-mentioned XP is. However, the amount is rounded down as it is not possible to receive half of an item in this game
  • Rare Items in the game roll on a per action basis. Combining Multi-Tree into a single action means you will only be provided with one roll per action, even though you're cutting two trees
  • A complete visual representation on exactly what quantity of Items and XP you are receiving per action has been added

Rare Item Drop Rates

In the initial Announcement, I mentioned drop rates for rare items were not changing. After testing this change on the Test Server for the last few weeks, and gathering data and feedback from players, I have decided to adjust drop rates for some rare items. At the end of the day, it was only fair that the entire game benefits off of a change like this.

Switching Woodcutting to a single action now allows me to buff global rare items without worrying about further snowballing the effects of the old Multi-Tree upgrade.

  • Increased global drop rate for Signet Ring Half (a) to (Level Req / 16,500,000), up from (Level Req / 19,800,000)
  • Increased global drop rate for all Mastery Tokens to (1 / (18,500 / Milestones Unlocked)), up from (1 / (20,000 / Milestones Unlocked))
  • Increased global drop rate for Mysterious Stones to 0.025% per action, up from 0.015%.

Important Combat Adjustments

For those who may or may not know, there is a mechanic in the game where Players and Enemies can deal extra damage to one another depending on an existing status effect (Like being Stunned).

There was a lot of confusion around the consistency with this mechanic, and how it should actually work. With this update, we have finalised the general mechanics around these status effects.

When the enemy inflicts one of the below status effects on you, a very noticeable popup will briefly display to let you know. This notification can also be disabled in Settings.

It is very important that you read what they do, as you may die unexpectedly if you do not.

  • Stunned/Frozen - The Enemy deals 30% extra Damage while you are stunned
  • Sleep - The Enemy deals 20% extra Damage while you are sleeping

Combat Triangle Changes

The Combat Triangle for all gamemodes has received some minor adjustments to the damage values. Below are the changes.

Artisan Skill UI Updates

This update includes the start of the transition to a more clear and consistent UI throughout the game.

Starting with most Artisan Skills (Smithing, Fletching, Crafting, Runecrafting, Herblore & Summoning), the UI will be moved to an icon-based layout that will provide all necessary information you seek.

Included in these UI changes is the ability to see your Preservation & Item Doubling chances, as well as how much Skill XP, Mastery XP and Mastery Pool XP you will earn for that action.

These changes will feed into the rest of the game in some way or another.

Please note that Skills will still retain their unique design. I am simply referring to the icon and image usage when talking about transitioning this to the rest of the game.

Alpha v0.19.2 - (1st April 2021)

April Fools Event

Welcome to the next Event Update for Melvor Idle!!

This update celebrates Melvor Idle's 2nd favorite day of the year - April Fools!

This year, we've decided to turn it up a bit and provide you with something fun and chaotic to enjoy for a few weeks.

CHAOS MODE

CHAOS MODE is an all new limited gamemode for you to try! Coming equipped with an array of fun mechanics and features for you to mess around with.

The idea behind Chaos Mode is to get as far as you can in the shortest amount of time. I personally won't track the time, but the Gamemode will only be playable for a few weeks.

The rules of CHAOS MODE are simple:

  • Item Corruption is unlocked
  • 25% Interval Reduction on all Skills and Attack Speeds (Including Enemy)
  • All Enemies you face will have at least 1 random Passive
  • All equipped items are lost on Death
  • BIG NUMBERS
  • Same Combat Triangle as Hardcore & Adventure Mode
  • Golbin Raid is not available
  • Don't fight a Chicken

Item Corruption

Item Corruption is only available in CHAOS MODE.

You are given the power to use the Weapons & Gear you make or find, and turn them into completely random modifiers that either benefit you, or make your adventure a living hell.

Item Corruptions are applied to a Combat Equipment Slot, and are permanent as long as you don't roll another modifier. This means you have 10 "slots" to add random corruptions to.

These Item Corruptions cost GP to perform, equal to the value of the Item. There is a chance for the item to be destroyed, because why not? Corruptions are also based on a tier system, where the higher tier modifiers provide larger bonuses, as well as having more modifiers active at once.

Here is the tier list:

  • Tier 1 - Base Item Values < 200 GP - 1 Random Modifier - Low Modifier Value Range (+/-30) - 40% Chance to Destory the Item
  • Tier 2 - Base Item Values < 10K GP - 2 Random Modifiers - Medium Modifier Value Range (+/-50) - 30% Chance to Destroy the Item
  • Tier 3 - Base Item Values < 400K GP - 3 Random Modifiers - High Modifier Value Range (+/-75) - 20% Chance to Destroy the Item
  • Tier 4 - Base Item Values >= 400K GP - 4 Random Modifiers - Very High Modifier Value Range (+/-99) - 10% Chance to Destroy the Item

The item must be equipped to the respective Equipment Slot for a corruption to be applied. You don't need to keep the item in that slot to keep the Corruption though.

Other Silly Nonsense

In true April Fools fashion, there is a bunch of other silly nonsense through the game. Have fun with this!

Other Changes

New Features

  • Enemy Special Attack descriptions now display the damage value based on your Damage Reduction, instead of the base damage
  • Your listed Max Hit now includes values from your Damage Modifiers (Not including Special Attacks)

Changed Features

  • Adjusted the styling of Character selection to display the Gamemode Icon more prominently, as well as making the Mobile design less "squished"
  • Cloud Saving has a new save format, reducing the Cloud Save file size by roughly 50% on average. You will see no changes on your end, and local saves are still saved the same as before. Massive thanks to Coolrox95 for his work on getting the file size down by this much.

Bugfixes

  • It is now possible to purchase the Cape of Completion from the Shop again
  • Glove charges now display again in the Shop
  • Fixed issue where stun damage multipliers would be added twice on to an enemy
  • Incorrect Cloudburst Staff description in Adventure Mode

  • Cleaned up Ranged Milestones

Alpha v0.19 - (4th March 2021)

Agility

It's been a while, but now is the perfect time to introduce our next Skill into the game.

Introduction

Classed as a "Gathering" Skill, Agility is designed to provide numerous "Global Active Passives" to your character that can assist with pretty much all areas of the game. Almost all numbers can be affected by Agility in one way or another.

You are given the task of constructing your very own Agility Obstacle Course, with each obstacle you build coming equipped with different Agility XP rates, GP Rates, time to complete (Obsatacle Interval) and Global Active Passives attached to it.

Starting at the very first obstacle, your character will complete each Obstacle in their respective order until a lap is complete. Upon completing a lap, you will restart the Obstacle Course and go again. You cannot choose which obstacle to start it, it is always the first.

Strategic planning and thinking will come into effect with this Skill, and how you utilise the various Obstacles is entirely up to you.

Obstacles

For every 10 Agility Levels, you will be provided with an empty spot to construct an Obstacle of your choosing. All obstacles are categorized to suit their respective position within your Agility Course, meaning you can't place an Obstacle anywhere you like. In total, there is roughly 43 Obstacles to build, each with individual Masteries to complete.

These Obstacles, as mentioned above, come equipped with various benefits, buffs and debuffs. It is up to you to make a decision as to which Obstacle is best suits your current needs.

Building an Obstacle is not free. There is always a GP cost attached to it, and some later obstacles require various extra Items to build.

Active & Inactive Obstacles

When building an Obstacle, the Global Active Passives provided are always active in most circumstances.

An Obstacle becomes inactive if there is a gap in your Obstacle Course prior to it. Inactive Obstacles disable their respective Global Active Passives. The gap must be filled before they reactivate.

Remember, if you cannot reach the Obstacle during your training, that Obstacle will be inactive. This also means you cannot gain any XP or GP from this Obstacle. Don't worry though, the game will tell you if an Obstacle is inactive.

Obstacle Cost Reductions

I'll be honest, Obstacles are not cheap, especially late game.

You will find yourself swapping Obstacles quite consistently based on what your current goal is throughout the game. To help with this, there is many ways you can reduce the cost of Obstacles to ease the burden of costs.

Here are some ways to ease the pain:

  • Every time you construct an Obstacle, you gain +4% Item Cost Reduction for that Obstacle only. Stacks up to 10 times maximum for a total of +40% Item Cost Reduction.
  • Reaching Level 80 Mastery will grant +10% Cost Reduction for that Obstacle only.
  • Reaching Level 95 Mastery will grant +10% Cost Reduction for that Obstacle only.
  • 50% Mastery Pool bonus grants +10% Cost Reduction for all Obstacles.
  • 95% Mastery Pool bonus grants +15% Item Cost Reduction for all Obstacles.
  • Agility Skillcape (And Max/Completion Cape) grants +20% Cost Reduction for all Obstacles while equipped.

Item Cost Reduction is capped at 95%.

Agility Pet

With the inclusion of a new Skill, that also means a new Pet is introduced alongside it!

Sam +15% GP from Agility.

Agility Potion

To help you along for this journey, a new Potion has been added to the game to give you that much needed, totally not illegal boost to your Obstacle Course training.

Performance Enhancing Potion
+[2, 4, 6, 8]% Decreased Agility Interval.
[10, 20, 30, 50] Charges.

Agility Skillcape

What good is a new Skill without a nice Cape to wear and brag about?

Agility Skillcape
+20% Global Agility Obstacle cost reduction.

And yes, a new Potion means new Masteries for Herblore ;)

Adventure Mode

The 3rd and final Official Gamemode that will change everything about the way you play the game.

Adventure Mode bring a whole new challenge to the game, forcing you to make strategic decisions at every step of your journey.

In this Gamemode, Skills are locked behind a GP cost that must be unlocked individually. Every time you decide to unlock a Skill, the cost of the next unlock increases.

At the start of the Gamemode, the only Skill available to you are Attack, Strength, Defence and Hitpoints. Everything else is locked.

To help kickstart your new adventure, you are given a Bronze Weapon and 10 Basic Food. So generous, right?

Adventure Mode is also bound by the same Combat Triangle Modifiers you find in Hardcore Mode.

Sounds easy, what's the catch?

Leveling Skills in Adventure Mode is completely different to Standard. Non-Combat Skill Levels cannot go above your Combat Level.

When you eventually reach the maximum level, the Skill will still continue to train as normal, but you won't receive any further XP. You will need to go back into Combat, and level your Combat Level.

Summarized Rules of Adventure Mode

  • Skills are locked behind a GP cost to unlock.
  • Start with only Attack, Strength, Defence & Hitpoints unlocked.
  • A Bronze Weapon and 10 Basic Food is provided in your bank at the start.
  • Your Non-Combat Skill Levels cannot go above your Combat Level.
  • Hitpoints, Damage, and Healing numbers are multiplied by a future 10 (Just a visual change).
  • Harsher Combat Triangle Modifiers. Same as Hardcore Mode.

Boss Pets

Boss Pets have finally arrived to the game!

These cute little critters can be found in every single Dungeon in the game. Upon killing a Boss in a dungeon, you have a chance of obtaining one of the Boss Pets!

Alpha v0.15.4 (26th June 2020)

Greetings! Back again with another quick update.

This update is dedicated to sorting out many performance issues within the game, and hopefully sorting out memory leaks that have been occurring for some players.

I don't feel comfortable with releasing more content updates until I can sort out some underlying issues that are detrimental to the player experience, so hopefully this update handles most of those issues!

After this update, its time to get this v0.16 Major Update finished.

New Features

  • [NEW] A brand new Tooltip and Popover system has been implemented for the Bank, Item Log and Monster Log (Also in testing within Smithing for the recipe tooltip). They look very similar, but handle much differently. The bank is now extremely responsive and it should minimize 90% of the lag you tend to witness. It should also remove tooltips and menus from getting stuck on the screen (If they do, a simple click away will remove it from your screen).
  • [NEW] All game notifications now run through a completely new library. Performance issues around this should now be minimized.
  • [NEW] New Setting added to disabled the Combat Minibar when on the Combat Page.
  • [NEW] Hovering over an item in the bank with a short-hand quantity value (Eg. 355K) will now display the exact quantity (Eg. 355,676).
  • [NEW] There is now a Total XP statistic.

Changed Features

  • [CHANGE] Skill Experience gained is no longer rounded down. You now receive the exact amount of XP, instead of a whole number. This means small XP bonuses now actually apply to smaller XP-based items. You will still see a rounded down whole number when viewing your XP.

Bugfixes

  • [FIXED] Disabling the Combat Minibar setting while in combat will now hide the Combat Minibar without requiring a refresh or leaving combat.
  • [FIXED] Local and Cloud saves will now correctly compare. If they are found to be identical, you will not see the Select Save screen.
  • [FIXED] Fixed an issue where starting a skill while in combat did not stop combat correctly.
  • [FIXED] Fixed an issue where the Combat Minibar would stay on the screen if starting a different skill while you were in combat.
  • [FIXED] Fixed incorrectly calculated Magic Evasion Rating.
  • [FIXED] Fixed offline progression for devices with the experimental setting enabled.

Alpha v0.15.3 (17th June 2020)

Hello!

I have a little update for everyone which includes some fixes and nice new QoL features that I assume everyone will love. Most of these were scheduled for v0.16, but there was no point keeping you waiting for it.

New Features

  • [NEW] Introducing the Combat Minibar - This nifty little bar will appear in the bottom right of your screen upon entering combat. It shows your current HP, provides a button to eat food or run away, and clicking the HP bar brings you straight back to the Combat page.

Alpha v0.15.2 -"Case of Fortune." (4th June 2020)

Welcome to our next Event Update for Melvor Idle! With v0.16 in heavy development, I thought now was a great time to provide an update to keep you occupied.

Staying true to the theme of dumb, rediculous and sometimes obnoxious mechanics, we bring you Case of Fortune!

Case of Fortune Event

The Case of Fortune Event has arrived!.

This totally-original-not-copyrighted-or-seen-anywhere-else-before event has landed to suck your soul away and make you rage at the RNG gods because shiny pixels on a screen mean everything to you.

Upon loading the event, you will be greeted with a screen where you can select a case to open. Click the spin button and wait. This intense, interactive gameplay mechanic is one of the most unique and groundbreaking we have introduced to date.

If you run out of M-Bucks to spend - go cry to your parents and hope they give you some. If not, steal their credit card and purchase some in our totally fair, not Pay2Win shop that provides a significant advantage to those with money.

Enjoy! You might see some random changes here and there to mix it up.

Alpha v0.15 - "Return of the Gods" (16th May 2020)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! Thank you so much for your patience on this one. This update is one of the largest I have released to date in terms of content. Please be sure to read the full changelog so you are aware of what has changed!

Preface

Firstly, I'd like to provide a note about this update. Although I'm the one that developed it, pretty much all of the content and lore was planned and created by Prat. For those of you who don't know him - Prat generally provides a lot of assistance with balance, content ideas, number crunching and other random things around the game. He's my go-to person to bounce random ideas off that eventuate into content. He spent a very long time planning this update, so please pass on all thanks and credit to him for his hard work. Let's see what has been added!

The God Dungeons

With the defeat of Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor, the seal that once locked away the Gods fades with him. The Gods now prepare for their return to the world and for their continuation of war. It is up to you to stop them before they destroy it. Welcome to the God Dungeons, there are 4 Gods to defeat within their respective dungeons - Aeris, Glacia, Terran & Ragnar. These dungeons are very dangerous, and should only be attempted by the prepared and willing. Highly Recommended stats: 85+ All Combats, and yes you will need all 3 styles to complete them all (or suffer). Do not try to complete them without sufficient Damage Reduction, you will die.

Information:

  • You will find 4 new endgame dungeons to complete. These are split up in 5 floors with increasing monster difficulty as you progress.
  • These dungeons are different to your standard dungeon. Each monster kill drops elemental shards which can be collected and combined to create respective dungeon chests - Air, Water, Earth & Fire. (You can collect shards and leave without completing the dungeon).
  • Each dungeon follows the same logic, The Guards protect the first floor, The Monsters on the 2nd, The Elemental Golems on the 3rd, the God Guardians on the 4th and lastly the God on the 5th.
  • The monsters you face all have a unique, special attack of some form. Be sure to note what they do, it will save your life.

Each God inherits all special attacks from the previous monsters you fought, as well as possessing a strong, powerful special attack unique to them. Defeating a God rewards the player with their respective God Scroll. Defeating a God Dungeon for the first time also unlocks a new skills upgrade in the shop. Be sure to look for this!

Each God Scroll contains the powerful rewards, which the player has a chance to receive. The player is guaranteed to gain one of the following items from the scroll:

  1. A piece from the new God Armour sets (Sets include gloves and boots).
  2. One of the new Godswords, obtainable from the respective scroll. There's a unique Godsword for each God.
  3. Some scrolls contain unique, powerful God Weapons such as a bow, battleaxe, staff or even a special Shield.
  4. A Bank Slot Token. Claim for a free bank slot (Does not increase price of your bank slot costs)

All new God Equipment requires Level 85 in their respective levels to equip. The dungeon chests acquires by upgrading shards give you a chance at obtaining rare, unique dungeon rings and amulets. The rings provide increased combat stats, and each amulet contains a powerful, unique passive effect while equipped.

Note from Prat: These dungeons were made to be challenging and shouldn't be idle-able (maybe possible with god armour and pots). These dungeons should only be attempted by late-game players who have: Dungeon Equipment Swapping, BiS gear for all 3 combats, lots of food, prayer points and potions. Difficulty: I consider the Volcanic Cave challenging, but not overly difficult. Using rough estimates, I believe the easiest God Dungeon is ~ 6x more difficult than Volcanic, they are pretty tough.

Ranged Content Update

Alonside the inclusion of the God Dungeons, it was a perfect time to address an area of Combat that was lacking quite a bit - Ranged. Ranged has been turned upside down and re-evaluated from the ground up. I am talking new weapons, new armour types, lots of damage, lots of choice.

Here is what has been included in this update:

  • Crossbows for each tier of metal, plus Ancient, which use new Gem-Tipped Bolts as ammo.
  • Throwing Knives for each tier of metal, plus Ancient.
  • Javelins for each tier of metal, plus Ancient.
  • Dragonhide Shields
  • Ancient Dragonhide Armour
  • Ranged Armour can now be upgraded just like regular Melee armour.
  • Adjusted values for Shortbow & Longbow stats.
  • New pieces of equipment that will assist with Ranged.

There's a lot of choice here, and it will seem pretty overwhelming at first. But I can tell you now that Ranged packs a pretty decent punch. However, to be able to reach those high DPS numbers, you will need the skill levels and resources to be able to do so. Be sure to check out everything you can make within Smithing, Crafting and Fletching!

Player Special Attacks Rework

This update also includes a redesigned special attack system for Players! I have removed the silly 2 minute special attack timer, and that ridiculous box in the combat screen. This system in general simply did not suit the style of the game. Special attacks are now 100% idle. You do not need to adjust any settings at all! Weapons that possess a special attack will display so within the bank screen. The new description of the special attacks will now show a % chance. This is the chance a weapon has to activate its special attack during combat. You will notice your attack speed bar turn yellow, and the text display the name of the special attack when it is going to be used. Simply as that! There is also a little sword icon next to your attack speed that displays if there is a weapon with a special attack equipped. If you hover over this, or click it, it will display the special attack information.

Max Skillcape

Short and sweet, but the Max Skillcape has been introduced! This Skillcape is unlocked when you reach Level 99 in every single skill in the game. It inherits ALL skillcape perks. This thing is a beast.

That is it for the Major Content! Here's the full changelog:

Alpha v0.14 - Fishy Business (31st March 2020)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! This update sees one of the existing skills in the game see a complete rework, as well as some new addition to shake up Combat. Here is what has been added.

Skilll Rework - Fishing

Fishing has been completely stripped back and rebuilt from the ground up. With a fresh new look, new mechanics and some awesome items for you to obtain that will assist with future endeavors. You will be greeted with Fishing Areas (That are actually named), which allow you to select which fish you would like to catch. Each area has a base chance to catch the Fish you chose, catch a Special Item, or catch some junk (Because bank space is really important). These values can be altered with the use of the fishing potion or Mastery. There are 10 new types of fish to catch and 10 different special items to catch. See changelog in game for details. Barbarian Fishing is an area you unlock when you collect the Barbarian Gloves and equip them. This area contains fish which provide Fishing & Strength XP. The Fishermans Potion has a new effect - (x)% less chance to catch junk, where (x) changes based on Potion Level.

Balancing

This table outlines the balance changes made to all Fish.

Dungeon Rework - Volcanic Cave

This update includes a new and improved look for the Volcano Dungeon. It is now harder, and tougher than ever before (not really) and some of the Monsters have a new look and feel. There is an extra two new monsters to face, and Prat is now known as Prat, the Protector of Secrets, and both Prat & Malcs have a brand new look. Alongside this, you will now discover that some monsters have the ability to have Special Attacks. This is a new mechanic introduced to add a little more of a challenge to the Dungeon. These Specials are displayed below the monster image in combat, and the Attack Speed bar will turn yellow when they are about to use it. It is possible for monsters to only use special attacks (never uses a regular hit). In this case, Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor, will only use Special Attacks, so be careful! To compensate for the tougher, longer battles - The chance to receive Ancient Gear from the Elite Chest has been slightly increased.

New Save Compression

The compression used for saves has changed this update. The change reduces save file sizes by around 92%. If you have an old save file using the old method of compression, do not worry. You can still import it just fine.

Changed Features

  • [NEW] Fishing has been reworked.

  • [NEW] 4 of the new Fish are able to be cooked.
  • [NEW] Added 4 new special items to the game that can be acquired while Fishing.

Alpha v0.13 - A Helping Hand (7th March 2020)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! This one is a bit smaller than the usual Major Updates for this game. However, it includes the implementation of a major addition that will change a lot for most players. Here is what has been added.

Offline Progression

This has been in discussion for a while now, and finally it is here! Offline Progression simply allows your game to progress while the game is closed. You are no longer required to keep the game open to progress your skills!

How it works:

  1. When performing an action in game, you can simply close the browser and leave (While the action is still being performed).
  2. Upon returning, the game will calculate how long you were gone for and provide you with the XP, Items, Mastery XP and other various things that you would have received if you had the game open.
  3. A popup will greet you with the information above.
  4. As a nice QoL feature, the game will also continue the action (if it can) for you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OFFLINE PROGRESSION:

  • Offline Progression time is currently capped at 12 hours. This will be adjusted according to feedback.
  • All combat skills do not work offline. These are currently online only skills.
  • For Cooking to work Offline, you are required to own at least the first Cooking Fire Upgrade (from the Shop).
  • For Thieving to work Offline, the NPC you are Thieving requires a minimum 95% success rate.
  • All gloves & skillcapes work Offline (only if you have them equipped in your active equipment set).
  • Most Herblore potions work offline (If you have Auto Re-use Potion active). The potions that do not work will say so in their description. Currently, the potions that do not work are all Combat Potions (of course), Fisherman's Potion, Controlled Heat Potion, and Perfect Swing Potion
  • In order to gain Mastery XP for what you are currently doing (EX: Mining coal), you must log in to receive it.
  • Yes, you can receive Mastery Tokens offline.

Note: Offline progression will also trigger if you leave the game open in a separate tab. Browsers tend to throttle inactive tabs, so I've added a check that will hopefully detect when this happens.

New Features

  • [NEW] Offline Progression for all skills, except combat, has been introduced.
  • [NEW] New Combat Herblore Potion - Divine Potion - Chance to not consume Prayer Points. This one was created by **penguinswin3** (I had a lot of Prayer potion suggestions, this one stood out)
  • [NEW] New Combat Herblore Potion - Lucky Herb Potion - Chance to turn a dropped Herb Seed into a grown Herb. This potion idea was submitted without a username.
  • [NEW] New Patreon Item - Aorpheat's Signet Ring (Aorpheat) - All GP drops are doubled, +5% chance to obtain double loot from slain monsters or Thieving, +10% chance to gain double resources from any skill. Can only be obtained by combining / upgrading Signet Ring Half A & B. One half is found during normal combat, the other half is found while skilling. Remember to wear a Gold Topaz Ring at all times to be able to get these halves..

  • [NEW] Augury Prayer now also provides +10% Magic Damage
  • [NEW] A "Fix my Save" button has been added to the settings. If you experience issues with your local save, then clicking this button may resolve it. All it does is "import" your existing save back into the game and refreshes the window. This tactic seems to work for most save issues. I cannot guarantee that it will fix your save.
  • [NEW] There is now an error message when loading a broken Cloud Save that will allow you to load your Local Save instead (Or logout).
  • [NEW] Runecrafting now displays locked Runes (Just like the other Crafting skills).
  • [NEW] Potion Menu in the Header now displays the amount of potion charges.

  • [CHANGE] Crafting XP for Green/Blue/Red dragonhide gear has been reduced by 20%. Black dragonhide XP has been left untouched.
  • [CHANGE] Skill & Mastery Progress Bars now show exact changes in XP and now allows you to see tiny incrementals in progress (The % no longer rounds down to the nearest whole number).
  • [CHANGE] Herblore potion now provides a second potion of a random tier, rather than replacing the potion you create.
  • [CHANGE] Updated the look of the progress bar for Skills & Mastery progress when reaching Level 99.

Bugfixes

  • [FIXED] Compost All will no longer deduct 2,000 GP if it is not able to compost anything. However, if you click this button three or or times in one session for some unknown reason, it will start deducting the gold again.
  • [FIXED] Potentially fixed issue with crops insta-growing in some specific circumstances.
  • [FIXED] Hard Leather Gloves now has the correct level requirement.
  • [FIXED] Rune Essence quantity now updates correctly when mining Rune Essence in the Runcrafting screen.
  • [FIXED] Fixed milestone placements for Slayer and Herblore.

New Features

  • [NEW] There is now an option to Download your save from the "Export Save" screen when refreshing into an update.

Changed Features

  • [CHANGE] The game now auto-saves locally every 10 seconds, as apposed to after every action which would sometimes be several times per second. This should release some of the stress on your computer.
  • [CHANGE] The update notification that is displayed prior to refreshing the game has a completely new look. You are now also able to Download / Export your save from this notification before refreshing.
  • [CHANGE] The Cloud / User Settings dropdown will no longer disappear when you click "Force Save". This allows you to see the save state and ensure the game saves prior to exiting.
  • [CHANGE] Lighting a Bonfire will no longer stop/interrupt other skills.

Bugfixes

  • [FIXED] I believe the issue with the game telling you there is an update on loading has been fixed. Further confirmation required, but it worked on multiple saves within the dev environment.
  • [FIXED] Fixed issue where logging into a cloud account where the cloud save is blank would stop the game from loading completely. Now, the game will load the local save instead, and will automatically fix the cloud save upon auto saving / force saving.
  • [FIXED] Augury Prayer now provides the correct stats.
  • [FIXED] Fixed an issue where an enemy would not die if bleeding causes them to go under 1 HP (And a final attack was required to finish the battle).

  • [FIXED] Slightly optimised some combat functions.

Alpha v0.12 - A Potion's Aid (12th February 2020)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! Firstly, I just want to give an huge shoutout to every single person playing this game. It is beyond belief to see the kind of responses I have seen throughout the community. It makes me so happy to be doing this, and makes me want to push harder to produce content that everyone will hopefully enjoy. Another huge thank you to all the Patreon Supporters! You are all amazing, and I hope to get all of you involved in future of the game as best I can. Now, on to the update! Let's see what has been added.

Herblore

Herblore is also know as Potion Making. A skill dedicated to the creating of various potions that provides unique advantages throughout the game. Every single potion requires a specific Herb to create. These Herbs can be grown via Farming, where the seeds can be collected through means such as Combat or Thieving the Farmer (Who drops a Herb sack quite often). These Herbs all have an varied grow times, and can be planted in their dedicated patches in Farming. Each Potion has 4 Tiers, with each Tier increasing the benefits provided by the potion itself. These tiers are locked behind Mastery Levels, which can be leveled up by simply making the Potions. To use the potions you have in your bank, you will notice a little Potion icon at the top right of the screen. This will provide you access to use potions for the skill you currently have selected. This little menu automatically lists the potions in your bank that can be used for that selected skill. Only one potion can be active per skill. Combat is classed as one skill. You can only have one Combat Potion active at a time. Be sure to check the Settings page for the option to Auto Re-use potions when they deplete!

Special Attacks

Here is something for those who enjoy Combat! This update introduced Special Attacks for specific weapons. These special attacks can be used in combat to gain a slight advantage over the monster your a fighting. You are able to use a special attack every 2 minutes. Currently, these are the weapons that have special attacks: All Ancient Weapons, Dragon Claw, All Ice Weapons, Sunset Rapier (new), Elite Magic Wand. More special attacks will be added down the track!

Equipment Sets

This update introduces what I like to call Equipment Sets. These are basically presets you are able to customise to utilise in Combat. You can purchase two extra Equipment sets from the shop. In doing so, this will let you equip items into your desired set from the bank. These equipment sets act as extra bank slots for your weapons and armour. Within Combat, you can switch between the sets seemlessly as you wish.

Farming UI Update

Farming has received a slight make-over. With the introduction of Herblore, the existing Farming setup did not work. This UI update brings a few nifty features that I'm sure everyone will love. The Farming areas have been removed and have been replaced with 3 categories of plots - Allotments (14 max plots), Herbs (9 max plots) & Trees (4 max plots). Starting off Farming, you are provided with minimal plots, with the option to purchase more as long as you have the GP & Level requirement to do so. With the UI update also comes three new options - Harvest All, Compost All and Plant All. No explanation required as to what these do. They also cost a bit of GP per use. Due to an unexplained anomaly that passed over the lands of Melvor, existing Farming areas have been perished. Locals are baffled by this event. Nobody can explain how this occured.

New Features

  • [NEW] Herblore has been introduced.
  • [NEW] Approximately 80 Potions have been introduced.
  • [NEW] 8 new Herbs have been introduced, along with their respective seeds.
  • [NEW] Special Attacks have been introduced.

Alpha v0.11 - Slayer of Hop (17th January 2020)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle!

This update introduces two new skills in the game, as well as an assortment of additions, balance changes and bug fixes.

Prayer

Prayer provides players with the benefit of using buffs in combat to gain an advantage over the enemy. Using what's called Prayer Points, obtained by burying bones, you can activate these buffs within the combat screen at any time. There is currently 25 different prayers for you to explore, each unlocked as you level Prayer, as well as having different and sometimes unique benefits. Please make sure to read the tooltip provided so you know exactly how many prayer points you will be using so you do not lose track! Gaining of Prayer Points is as easy as burying the bones you obtain within the bank screen. Regarding Prayer XP - You gain a base of 1 xp per (damage / 10) in combat. To gain further Prayer XP, some prayers provide bonus XP when active. Be sure to read which ones! There is no limit to the amount of Prayer Points you can have.

Slayer

Surprise!

Slayer revolves around defeating specific Monsters within Melvor to gain XP. As you level your Slayer, you will gain access to unique areas, which sometimes contain unique, slayer only items that will provide massive advantageous in combat. With the introduction of Slayer comes a new currency - Slayer Coins. These coins can be obtained by completing Slayer Tasks (Obtained in Combat Screen) which can then be spend accordingly in the new Slayer section of the Shop! As well as the new currency, I have introduced 5 new Slayer Areas. These areas contain new, unique monsters for you to fight against. Some Slayer areas are gated behind a Slayer Level requirement, as well as an item requirement (Where you are required to have a specific item equipped to gain access). There is also unique drops to find within these areas. And trust me, you will want them.

There is two ways gain Slayer XP

  1. Completing Slayer Tasks (Don't worry, the game won't give you a monster that you cannot kill. However, it is possible to get a monster you cannot access. You will need to requst a new task in this case).
  2. Monsters located in Slayer Areas always provide some Slayer XP, but not as much as Slayer Tasks.

Combat Number Adjustment

This update also includes a change to the numbers game for Combat. To put it simply; all Hitpoint values, damage values, eating values, and maximum hit values have been multiplied by 10. The reasoning behind this is simply due to a progression standpoint. Playing with larger numbers allows smaller incrementals of progression, that way you can really see how you are progressing through the game. For example, prior to this change, it would take quite some time to go from a maximuim hit of 2 to 3. Now, you can increment through all values of 20 to 30. A simple change, but one I feel was completely necessary.

Statistics Revamp

This update also includes the introduction of Monster Statistics, as well as a revamp to Item Statistics. Under Completion Log Menu, you will now see a Monster tab. Selecting this will show you all the Monsters you have defeated, as well as handy stats relating to that monster (Hover over the monster). The Item Log has also been adjusted to show many many different stats per item (Hover over the item). Most stats for items will only show if you have more than 0 of that stat.

The stats that are tracked for Monsters:

  • Times killed by player.
  • Times player killed enemy
  • Times enemy killed player
  • Total damage taken by player
  • Total damage dealt to player
  • Total successful hits to player
  • Total successful hits from player
  • Total attacks to player that missed
  • Total player attacks dodged
  • Total times seen monster
  • Total times player ran away from monster

The stats that are tracked for Items:

  • Times received
  • Times sold
  • Total GP gained from selling
  • Total damage dealt with weapon & quiver (If ranged)
  • Total attacks performed with weapon & quiver (If Ranged)
  • Total missed attacks with weapon & quiver (If ranged)
  • Total damage taken with item equipped (Does not count for weapons or arrows)
  • Enemies killed with weapon
  • Times item lost due to death
  • Total amount of arrows / runes used in combat (If you preserve an arrow or rune, it does not add count).
  • Times food has been eaten
  • Total health gained by eating the food
  • Total time waiting for seed to grow
  • Total times seed has died during growth
  • Total successful grows
  • Total amount of item harvested
  • Times opened (Chests and bird nests)

Alpha v0.10 - Welcome to Melvor (5th December 2019)

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle! And the first update with a title - Welcome to Melvor

Alpha v0.10 is the largest update I have released to date for this game. Many additions have been included which will set the path this game will take from here-on. Thank you to everyone who has been here on this journey with me. I hope I can continue provide updates to this game that everyone will enjoy.

Now, let's see what the big inclusions are.

Melvor

Welcome to Melvor.

121b2e2b50.png

A vast, mystical landscape that is just waiting to be explored. Traverse the harsh lands and encountered various enemies and dungeons which await your arrival.

This map will represent Melvor as a whole. Finally adding world-building elements to the game is a big step in creating something interesting. It allows for so many possibilities in the future, which I am excited to share with you all.

Combat Area selection has been changed to physical locations that you can select from the map. The black sections of the map represent unexplored territory. Who know what we will find out there?

Magic

Magic has been added to the game!!

In its current state, Magic is solely a Combat skill, designed to output high damage, whilst trading your defence in return.

There is currently 20 damage-dealing skills to use in combat. You are required to wield a magical staff to use Magic (Will touch on this below).

My plans for Magic are to also add buff/debuff spells alongside non-combat Magic skills like Alching and Enchantment. Watch this skill closely as it develops!

You are required to equip a Staff to use Magic in combat

Runecrafting

What good is Magic without the Runes?? Here we have Runecrafting - a very basic, yet important skill for those who wish to train Magic

Craft Runes using the Rune Essence you collect from Mining, which can be then used in Combat to gain an advantage over enemies.

Air, Water, Earth and Fire Runes can be upgraded in the Bank to produce a Magical Staff. These Staffs can be upgraded further to provide more benefits.

Combat Triangle

Now that we have all three combat skills/types in the game, the implementation of the Combat Triangle as also been included.

When you face an enemy in Combat, you will now see that they have an 'Attack Type'. This can either be Melee, Ranged or Magic. This determines the evasion statistic that will be used in combat.

For example - if you are facing an enemy with the Ranged attack type, your Ranged Evasion Rating will be used as your 'Defence'. This is the same for enemies, based on your Attack Type.

The general rule of thumb is Melee > Ranged / Ranged > Magic / Magic > Melee. But this also depends on the gear you have equipped.

Skillcapes

They're here, they're finally here! For those of you who love to brag, these are just the thing for you.

Skillcapes are somewhat of a 'Trophy' that you can acquire upon reaching Level 99 in its respective skill. Once you reach that glorious max level, the Shop will allow you to purchase the Skillcape for 1,000,000 GP.

Each Skillcape comes with its own unique benefit for the skill it is acquired for. Skillcapes also provide base Melee, Ranged and Magic Defence stats of +9. If you manage to lose your Skillcape in battle, you may purchase another one from the shop.

Who can collect them all?

For those of you who are wanting more Skilling content/changes, it will be saved for v0.10.

Dungeons are basically another term to describe Bosses. Your goal is the slay all prior monsters within the dungeon to then face the beast that protects the area.

Melvor Cloud

This update also brings updated functionality to the Melvor Cloud.

Upon logging in to the Melvor Cloud, it will now attempt to automatically load your save. If the save stored in the Cloud is different to the one you already have loaded, it will prompt you with a few options to ensure we don't step on your toes.

Alpa v0.08.2 (31st October 2019)

Today I am introducing a heavily requested feature, as well as some fixes and changes based on feedback from players.

Melvor Cloud

Welcome to the Cloud!

From the Settings tab, you can access what I like to call the 'Melvor Cloud' - a starting point for exciting things to come.

It has been heavily requested that I add some form of Cloud Saving functionality to the game, and this is the start of that solution.

Upon load you will see a Login / Register page. When you register for an account, your currently loaded save will be syncronised alongside your account creation.

Upon logging in, you will be greeted with two options.

The first is a button that simply links to a text page containing nothing but the currently syncronised save file from the server. Copy / paste this into the import field to load it.

The second option is a syncronise button. Clicking this will overwrite the existing save in the cloud with your currently loaded save.

In its current state, this is a very basic system with a sole purpose to provide a Cloud Save system for your game. There is no auto-syncronise yet, or any other server based functionality. This will come later down the track, please be patient.

New Features

  • [NEW] Melvor Cloud has been introduced.
  • [NEW] Equip xAll for Food and Arrows added as an option.

Bugfixes

  • [FIXED] Fixed an issue with GP value becoming a very large decimal number.
  • [FIXED] Woodcutting stats for seconds spent cutting is now displayed correctly.

PLEASE NOTE: I am still investigating a few bugs to do with crafting skills. Hotfixes will be applied when resolved.

Alpha v0.08.1 (30th October 2019)

This update provides urgent fixes for many reported bugs.

Thank you to everyone who is actively helping me with this game. It doesn't go unnoticed, and I appreciate every single one of you for it!

Ranged combat is the latest addition to the combat skills area.

Take advantage of the large damage output from bows and arrows, as well as the inclusion of ranged armour that can assist with your combat.

Ranged combat requires a bow and arrow. Be sure to pay attention to your ammo so you do not get caught out.

Fletching

A simple, yet fast skill to train.

I won't really be advertising it after this update, but it will be there for those who wish to support. This game will still continue development as usual even with no Patreons.

Alpha v0.06 (28th September 2019)

Welcome to the next major update for Melvor Idle! This update brings along a couple of new skills for you to train, as well as some other additions and changes throughout the game.

The next update, Alpha v0.07, will focus more on balance and content for the current skills in the game.

Let's take a look at what has been added into the game.

Thieving

Thieving is a simple, yet helpful skill to train in terms of resource production.

Your task is to pickpocket various NPCs to acquire gold and other related items to that NPC. But be careful! If you are caught, you will be stunned and also injured slightly, so keep an eye on your HP. This skill is idle, as long as you don't die. If you are stunned, you will resume training after a few seconds.

Your Thieving level and mastery level play into the success rate.

Farming

Farming is the first 'Offline' skill added to Melvor Idle. Currently in its early stages, you have the ability to acquire seeds from various skills, which can then be planted to grow into something great! Your seeds are able to grow while offline. This means you can come back to the game after some time to see what has grown!

Compost is also added alongside this skill. The base success rate of plants growing is 50%, which each compost bucket adding an extra 7.5% to the success rate. Compost can be purchased from the shop.

  • [NEW] Black Shields have been added to the game... because I forgot to do this last patch.

  • [NEW] Equip x100 Food is now an option.

Alpha v0.05 (21st September 2019)

Welcome to Alpha v0.05 - The Combat Update!

This update introduces Combat - a brand new addition to Melvor Idle that will serve as one of the biggest areas of the game for player to indulge.

FIRSTLY - I'd like to put how a HUGE thank you to everyone who is playing this game, and also interacting with the subreddit & community to help find bugs and request additions to the game. It is so amazing to see a lot of you genuinely enjoying this game, and it makes me excited for what's to come.

Let's get into the updates :)

Combat

There are 4 combat skills to train that aid you in battle in various ways:

Attack - Responsible for your chance to hit, as well as what tier of weapons you can equip. Strength - Higher level = bigger hits ;). Defence - Responsible for your chance to dodge, as well as what tier of armour you can equip. Hitpoints - Level up to increase maximum HP. These skills can be trained by selecting their respective attack type in the combat screen. Some attack types are better than others for certain weapons. Hitpoint XP is earned no matter what style of combat you choose.

There are various areas for you to enter and face enemies. Each area provides a recommended level before entering, so you don't get surprised if you are face-rolled.

Combat is automated for the most part. When you begin battle, you and the enemy's attacks are based on the combat statistics shown in the combat screen. Attacks are performed when the progress bar is at full, based on your attack speed.

Attack Speed is determined by the weapon you equip.

Armour and Weapons These can be equipped from the option in the Bank when selecting the item. Upon equipping, the item will be removed from your bank and will be placed into your equipment slot (Viewed in the Combat Area). If you wish the unequip anything, you can click it in the combat screen to remove it.

Food Food is setup based on an Equip system, just like armour and weapons. There is 3 Food slots to use in combat. Each slot can fit an unlimited amount of food. Food can be equipped from the options in the Bank.

Dying If you die, there is a chance you will lose an item you have equipped. The more items you have equipped, the more chance there is of losing one.

Loot Upon killing an enemy, they will drop loot which can be collected by clicking on it. There is only 8 loot slots. Once it is reached, the oldest loot will start to disappear if not collected. If you die, the loot also disappears.

Now on to the actual changelog!

Note from Malcs - I call this the official release of Melvor Idle Alpha

It has been a long time since anything has happened with this game. But I'm back, and am ready to hit it full swing.

I have received many comments over the months with great feedback, and I really appreciate all of those comments. Thank you to everyone who did play this game, I hope I can make it into something special.

This major update introduces a complete redesign of Melvor Idle which will allow future development to be quicker and easier to implement. Everything has been redone from the ground-up including skills, bank, shop, and everything in between.

Cooking allows you to cook the resources you have gathered throughout Melvor. As of release, you are able to cook all the fish that you catch. But be careful! You may burn a few here and there.

Mining

Travel across the great lands of Melvor to mine precious materials that are essential to survival. Level up mining to unlock extra areas that contain rarer ores. Level up your areas to unlock more resources to mine.

NEW SKILLS: FISHING & FIREMAKING

This update introduces two new skills, Fishing & Firemaking!

FISHING

  • Cast your rod into the vast lakes and oceans to discover difference species of fish to acquire! A very peaceful skill to be expanded upon in the future.

FIREMAKING

  • Burn the logs acquired from Woodcutting to acquire experience. Watch your potential GP earnings light up in flames right before your eyes. A worthy sacrifice if I say so myself.
  • Increase your XP potential by upgrading your bonfire. Nothing better than lighting fires on top of more fires!

NEW BANK UI

I have redesigned the bank to better suit the design of the game. Selecting the bank now brings up all items you have, and also provides the potential to upgrade as well.

Bank upgrades are now also additive. Maximum bank capacity currently set at 7,000. Your current bank upgrades will update accordingly with this update.

NEW SHOP UI

The shop for each skills looks a bit different. This is to correlate with the new bank UI to keep it similar. Please let me know what you think.

OTHER CHANGES

  • GP values have been updated and now display in a similar form to Runescape. Hover over your GP to view the exact amount.
  • Base Woodcutting interval has been increased from 2000 to 3000.
  • Removed the ability to disabled Auto Save.

Alpha v0.02 - (30th November 2018)

CONTENT UPDATE: WOODCUTTING PRESTIGE

This update includes the implementation of Woodcutting Prestige. Achieving Skill Mastery not enough? Continue into prestige ranks and achieve levels far beyond originally possible.

  • Entering Woodcutting Prestige allows you to level passed Level 99.
  • All Woodcutting XP Rates are multiplied by 10.
  • Logs are worth much more GP.

Once you prestige, you will be required to unlock the higher level trees again through leveling. Woodcutting becomes quite profitable later on if you make it that far.

Woodcutting Prestige is optional. However, once you prestige there is no way of returning. Decide wisely!

Birds Nests

  • Added the chance of receiving a "Birds Nest" from a tree when cut. These nests have a 1 in 250 chance

of being acquired. They provide an instant GP increase of 20 times that of the tree you got it from.

  • These become quite valuable in Woodcutting Prestige.
  • Bird nests will be a feature expanded upon in the future.

Woodcutting Statistics

  • Added some small statistics for those who like to keep track of numbers. Unfortunately this does not include your stats prior to Alpha v0.02.

Changes to Woodcutting Random Events

  • Previously, a random event would cause all cut buttons to be disabled until the event finished. Throughout testing, I believe this is an unfair and frustrating disadvantage to the player, especially if they do not wish to participate in the event.
  • All cut buttons are now enabled during random events.
  • You are also able to Auto Cut the random event.

Tree XP/GP Balancing

The amount of XP and GP earned from trees later on in the game has been reduced.(In order of tree based on level)

Old XP Rates - [10,20,30,50,80,120,200,320,500]
New XP Rates - [10,20,30,50,80,100,140,180,250]

Old GP Rates - [1,5,10,20,40,100,250,500,1000]
New GP Rates - [1,5,10,20,40,80,125,200,275]

An Update on Trees Becoming Useless

Just thought I'd address this issue. Common feedback received showed a dislike for trees becoming redundant as you level up. I completely agree with this feedback, and have thought about how I can make better use of these redundant trees.

I have decided to leave it as is for now until the introduction of Firemaking. This skill will require logs as the main source to level it up. Hopefully this will provide a use for the redundant trees when released. Upon release of this skill, I will gather feedback to see if this is a suitable trade-off.

As the game progresses, more and more skills will be added to the game. If you follow RuneScape at all, you are probably farmiliar with what new skills will eventually be introduced, and how they all interact with one-another.

SKILLS PREVIEW: FISHING & FIREMAKING

This update includes a preview for the two upcoming skills, Fishing & Firemaking. The preview is designed to ahoq what the new skills will consist of, and provide an insight into a new mechanic.

Fishing: Self explanatory. Select a location to catch the designated fish assigned to that area to level up. Firemaking: Burn the logs collected from Woodcutting to level up the skill. This skill introduces a bonfire mechanic to reward consistent gameplay. More information to come...

Along with this preview you can see there has been a UI change to cater for the new skills.

Fishing & Firemaking is due for release in Alpha v0.03.

OTHER CHANGES

  • Your save game now automatically loads, rather than requiring you to press the "Load Game" button.
  • Moved position of "GP" & "Bank" to top of screen. This is due to the upcoming skill released planned for the future.
  • Removed the image for you current axe. This information is now displayed above your experience bar.
  • Added the axe images to the "Shop".
  • Updated "Insufficient Level" badges for axes in the shop to display the level requirement instead.
  • Reduced Level Requirement for 3rd Age Axe to Level 90 (Down from Level 95)

Alpha v0.01.2 - (24th November 2018)

  • Fixed progress bars.

Alpha v0.01.1 - (23rd November 2018)

These changes come from my recent Reddit post in /r/incremental_games Feedback Friday 2018-11-23.

Changes

  • Updated bank capacity upgrade values to promote more "Idle" gameplay. New values, in order of upgrade, are 200, 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2250, 3000, 4000, 5000.
  • Axe upgrades are now more clear as to what bonuses they provide.
  • Updated 3rd Age Axe price and Magic Ability in preparation for Alpha v0.02.
  • Updated changelog link to directly show .txt document. Saves me from editing multiple documents.

Alpha v0.01 - (23rd November 2018)

Welcome the the initial release of Melvor Idle. This is an ever-expanding "idle" game, based on the popular MMORPG "Runescape", where the aim is to level up your skills and reach skill mastery along the way.

  • Explore the vast landscape, where you will discover 9 different species of trees awaiting the fury of your axe.Cut down trees with a selection of 9 powerful axes, and earn GP to master the skill of Woodcutting.

Auto Cutting

Random Events

  • There is a 1 in 100 chance of a random event taking place when a tree is cut. These random events last for 20 seconds, and provide various benefits if you chose to participate.

These benefits include:

    • Double XP
    • Double Logs acquired from a fallen tree
    • Faster Cutting
  • Random events are optional, however some actions are disabled during the duration of the event. It's up to you to decide what to do.

Autosave

  • This game includes an autosave feature, so you don't have to worry about losing your progress! After every action, your progress will save. You may disabled the autosave feature if you wish.

The Future

  • This game will be updated on a consistent basis, with new features added with every new version. The vision for this game is quite large in scale, hoping to provide the player with a sense of reward for leveling up skills. Alpha v0.02 is already almost complete in terms of features. Check back next week to see what has been added/changed!
