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 to provide updates to this game that everyone will enjoy.

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

Melvor

Welcome to Melvor.

 
The Map of Melvor.

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 knows what we will find out there?

Magic

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

has been added to the game!! In its current state,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

is solely a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

skill, designed to output high damage, whilst trading your defence in return. There are currently 20 damage-dealing skills to use in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. You are required to wield a   magical staff to use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

(will touch on this below). My plans for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

are to also add buff/debuff spells alongside non-combat

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

skills like Alching and Enchantment. Watch this skill closely as it develops! You are required to equip a   magical staff to use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

in combat.

Runecrafting

What good is

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

without the   Runes?? Here we have

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

- a very basic, yet important skill for those who wish to train

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

. Craft   Runes using the   Rune Essence you collect from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining

, which can be then used in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

skills/types in the game, the implementation of the Combat Triangle as also been included. When you face an enemy in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

, you will now see that they have an 'Attack Type'. This can either be

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

, or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

. This determines the evasion statistic that will be used in combat. For example - if you are facing an enemy with the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

>

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

/

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

>

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

/

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

>

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 .

Each Skillcape comes with its own unique benefit for the skill it is acquired for. Skillcapes also provide base

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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?
