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,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    skills do not work offline. These are currently online only skills.
  • For
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking
    to work Offline, you are required to own at least the first
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking Fire Upgrade
    (from the Shop).
  • For
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    to work Offline, the NPC you are
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    requires a minimum 95% success rate.
  • All gloves & skillcapes work Offline (only if you have them equipped in your active equipment set).
  • Most
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    Potions (of course),   Fisherman's Potion,   Controlled Heat Potion, and   Perfect Swing Potion
  • In order to gain
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    XP for what you are currently doing (EX:
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

  • Offline Progression for all skills, except combat, has been introduced.
  • New
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Points. This one was created by penguinswin3 (I had a lot of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
    potion suggestions, this one stood out)
  • New
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 Patreon Item -   Aorpheat's Signet Ring (Aorpheat) - All GP drops are doubled, +5% chance to obtain double loot from slain monsters or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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.
  • Added a setting to enable Virtual Levels.

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    Damage
  • 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.
  • There is now an error message when loading a broken Cloud Save that will allow you to load your Local Save instead (Or logout).
