This page was last updated for (v1.0.3).

Update v1.0.3 - (28th February 2022)

This update brings a bunch of much requested quality of life updates, as well as finalizing the transition to the new tick-based system for Skills.

The transition to a tick-based was done over 6 months, and involved rewriting every single Skill from the ground up. Now that it has been completed, this will allow for more efficient updates including efficient implementation of new content.

A note on upcoming new content

Although these latest updates have not introduced anything new for you to try, we can confirm that we have indeed been working on new content behind the scenes at the same time.

There is a massive pipeline of new content on the way, including the much anticipated Expansion 1. This expansion aims to roughly double the amount of content you see in the game, and it has been in planning for quite some time.

Now that the transition to the tick-based system is complete, we can now work efficiently towards Expansion 1 as well as everything in between. Let’s see what’s new inside the February 2022 update.

New Features

Customisable Minibar

  • There is a new “Quick-Equip Menu” for the Minibar (the menu in the bottom right of Skills). This new menu allows you to quickly equip items for the respective Skill. The GEAR icon represents the quick equip.
  • You can customize what items display in this menu for each Skill. This can be done by selecting any equipable item within the Bank, navigating to the Gear icon, and then enabling/disabling this item for each Skill.
  • The order of these items can be adjusted to your liking by dragging and dropping them from within the Quick-Equip Menu.
  • Existing default items from before this update are enabled by default inside this new menu.

Updated Combat Minibar

  • The Combat Minibar that displays during Combat has some new features and functionality.
  • The Enemy HP & Attack Bar has been added above your own, so you can see the progress of the fight more clearly.
  • Your own attack bar has been added below your HP bar.
  • You can now change your Equipment Set from the minibar.
  • New Settings have been added to the Settings Page to enable or disable the visibility of Enemy HP/Attack Bar & Equipment Set Selection.

Click & Hold to Eat

  • You are now able to Click (or tap) & Hold to eat within
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    . This will spam eat Food for you.
  • Doing this will not consume more Food than is required.
  • The button will turn green to confirm you are “spam eating”.
  • This works on Mobile versions as well.

This kind of functionality is great if you feel like attempting content before you are prepared enough to idle it.

Other New Additions

  • You can now toggle the visibility of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    &
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    Areas by clicking/tapping the header area where the new “Eyecon” is. This visibility setting is saved for that character.
  • You are now able to “Destroy Loot” by selecting the corresponding button located on the bottom of the Loot Container. This will destroy the Loot if for some reason you do not wish to actually Loot it.

Changed Features

  • The UI for the Skills &
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    section of the Completion Log has been updated to be much less stressful on the eyes, using distinguished colours to separate each Skill.
  • You can now see the Special Attack & relevant descriptions of Items within the “View Item Stats” & “Upgrade Item” popups. Now you will know exactly what the item does that you are trying to Craft or Upgrade into.
  • Removed the “Pause Skills when Minimized” setting from Mobile. This setting now defaults to “enabled” as there is no reason for this to be turned off on Mobile.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Farming
    is now unlocked on the Demo Version on Mobile.

Tick-Based Skills

These Skills have now transitioned to the new tick-based system:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Crafting
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fletching
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Runecrafting
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology

This marks the end of the transition to tick-based for Skills, and will now allow us to develop a lot more efficiently in general for the game.

Update v1.0.1 - (22nd December 2021)

Introduction

Welcome to the Melvor Idle Holiday 2021 Event!

Thank you to everyone who has offered us such incredible support over the last two years. It has been an amazing journey, and I’m so excited for all the fun that lies ahead!

With the full release out the way, I thought it would be a great idea to celebrate the Holiday Season with a small event for everyone. It may be tiny, but it has some cool rewards for you to collect!

Holiday Event 2021

Santa Chio has been involved in a rather unfortunate accident, and seems to have lost its Christmas Presents! Can you help recover them? You’ll be rewarded for your time and effort if you do…

Head to the Holiday Event 2021 page to find out what must be done!

Event Rewards

In total there are five Event Rewards for helping Santa Chio. All are cosmetic and provide no bonuses. There are also some other items available for you to collect, and you could potentially find a lot of them!

Note: Event Rewards are not required for 100% game completion, and do not appear in the Item Log unless you find one.

Mobile Premium Unlock

Purchasing the Full Version of Melvor Idle on Mobile will now unlock the Full version on other mobile versions, and the web version.

To enable this - log into your Cloud account on a Mobile Device with a valid active purchase. This will enable the Full Version on your Cloud account.

It is not possible to unlock the Steam version if you purchase on Mobile.

New Save Export and Import Setting

There is a new method to export your save and share with others!

From the your character settings on the welcome screen, you can now Create Save Link to export your save. This will generate a unique URL for your save.

This unique URL can be pasted into the Import Save box to import it into the game. You can also visit the link the see the raw save string if you wish. These save URLs do not expire.

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 focusing 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 “

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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, and access to all

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Changes to Prayer Level Requirements

The level requirement of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

have never really made sense, and the scaling and progression falls off around the

New Skill: Astrology

Introduction

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 leveling 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Extra Equipment Set

from the Shop. It requires

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

and 100,000,000GP to unlock. This will be fantastic for a Skilling setup.

New Potion

We have added a Secret Stardust Potion to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore

which will greatly assist in your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Alt. Magic
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Melee
    Combat
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    Combat
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    Combat
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 single player 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:

  • Leveling up any Skill now has a nice popup at the top of the screen.
  • Achieving Level 99
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Firemaking
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining

also received a minor QoL update in the process:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cooking

and utilisation of multiple

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

ingredients made it clear that

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

needed a slight adjustment to help with your crop management. This update comes equipped with a new “Plant All Selected”

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
  • Loot Container Stacking 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.

New

  • Equipment that provides bonuses based on other items being equipped now have colour matching borders around them to indicate that the bonus is active
  • The effects of a monster being Afflicted during the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Into the Mist
    dungeon is now viewable as an Enemy Passive.
  • If you missed it above, the Controlled Heat & Perfect Swing Potions now work Offline.

Changes

  • A large amount of code related to the game's interface has been changed in preparation of localizing the game. You hopefully won't notice any changes (if you do please let us know), but this may break Scripts/Extensions.
  • Increased the quantity of Bones from Bone Offering from 2 to 3.
  • Increased the quantity of Holy Dust from Blessed Offering from 2 to 3.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    Area effects now visually update based on your current amount of Slayer Area Effect Negation

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

  • Fixed
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Alpha v0.22 - (29th September 2021)

Thieving Rework

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

has always been one of the most lacklustre 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    level
  • Increasing your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    level
  • Filling your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    Pool
  • Equipping items with Stealth bonuses
  • Potions from
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility
    Courses

Balance Changes

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Legend
Unchanged Reduced Increased

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.

Interface Overhaul

The interface for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

has been completely redone. NPCs are now displayed in areas, similar to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

. Information, such as doubling chance and Thieving interval, are now also shown, similar to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

has now been transitioned to be tick-based system, just like

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. This has resulted in the following benefits:

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

Cooking Rework

The long awaiting

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cooking Fire

, we have now introduced the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cooking Furnace

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

. They act the same way as the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fire

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Furnace

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 0GP 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.

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

which will also provide some interesting new mechanics throughout the Combat Areas:

  • All Monsters within the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Spider Forest
    Dungeon now have a Special Attack which introduces the brand new Poison mechanic.
  • All Monsters within the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Icy Hills
    Combat Area, and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Frozen Cove
    Dungeon now have a Special Attack, introducing the brand new Frostburn ailment.
  • All Monsters within the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dragon Valley
    Combat Area now have a Dragonbreath Special Attack (weaker than existing ones). This also means these Monsters that appear in the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dragons Den
    also contain the new Special Attack.
  • All Monsters within the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Arid Plains
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    Area now have a Lesser Sandstorm Special Attack. The Sand Beast keeps its 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Bandit Base
    Dungeon has a new Special Attack.
  • The Elder Dragon in the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dragons Den
    also has a Special Attack now.
Legend
Nerfed Buffed

New Agility Obstacles

  • Tier 3 - Burning Coals - +3% Cooking Skill XP, +5% Successful Cook Chance, -5% Damage to all Monsters.
  • Tier 5 - Rooftop Run - +3% Thieving Skill XP, +20% GP gained via Thieving, -0.2s Thieving Interval, +35 Stealth, -10% Damage to All Monsters.
  • 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,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 lacklustre 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.
  • Is 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

This 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 now 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 refers 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

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

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 exact 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Into the Mist
    where you will return to the game at the start of the first boss fight (due to the Dungeon Pause mechanic).
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 Necklace works Offline and will bury all Bones that are dropped automatically.
  • All
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
    Familiars and their respective Synergies work Offline.
  • Offline Progress popup will display relevant XP gained, Monsters killed, food consumed,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
    Points Used, Runes & Arrow consumption,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    earned,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
    Tablet usage, number of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 leveled 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 - leveling 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 leveling 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.

Leveling the Skill

As is the theme of this Skill, leveling 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    Shop to assist with Summoning
  • Two new
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility
    Obstacles to also assist with Summoning
  • Yet another new
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore
    Potion for (you guessed it) Summoning
  • And of course, we also have the Summoning Skillcape and the Summoning Mastery Token

Woodcutting Changes

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

upgrade you can purchase from the Shop that is causing these issues.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ty

, and future global Pets), Signet Ring Half (a), and was also the go-to for the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

content during testing (gaining upwards of 2,000,000 XP/hr).

The upgrade was one of the very first Shop items you could buy in the very early days of Melvor Idle (when there were 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

Upgrade.

Summarized Changes to Woodcutting

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

to a single action now allows me to buff global rare items without worrying about further snowballing the effects of the old

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

upgrade.

  • Increased global drop rate for Signet Ring Half (a) to [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{Level Req}{16,500,000} }[/math], up from [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{Level Req}{19,800,000} }[/math].
  • Increased global drop rate for all Mastery Tokens to [math]\displaystyle{ \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{18,500}{Milestones Unlocked}} }[/math] up from [math]\displaystyle{ \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{20,000}{Milestones Unlocked}} }[/math]
  • 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 (

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fletching

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Crafting

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 favourite 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 Destroy 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!

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.
  • Fixed incorrect Cloudburst Staff description in Adventure Mode.
  • Cleaned up back-end unused variables and functions.
  • Item statistic for "Damage Taken" is no longer added to "Damage Dealt".
  • Greater Dragonbreath no longer displays wrong damage value in description.
  • Divine Potion no longer provides double the intended effect.
  • Combat stat tracking no longer occurs for empty equipment slots.

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    Milestones.
  • Weird Gloop now provides the +10% Harvest Bonus correctly.

Be sure to have Push Notifications enabled for your Mobile Device for these to work.

Link your Mobile Device

Within the Settings of the game, you can link your Mobile Device to your Cloud Account. This will allow the Desktop version of the game to schedule Push Notifications for you if you decide to close the game.

Just note that this can only be setup from the App itself on your Mobile Device.

New Features

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

  • Most Special Attacks that alter Player Stats have been transitioned to the new Modifiers system. Some still need to be transitioned (like stacking debuffs and other unique ones) but its a start.

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,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 (Obstacle 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 are roughly 43 Obstacles to build, each with individual

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    will grant +10% Cost Reduction for that Obstacle only.
  • Reaching Level 95
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    will grant +10% Cost Reduction for that Obstacle only.
  • 50%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    Pool bonus grants +10% Cost Reduction for all Obstacles.
  • 95%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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!

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

And yes, a new Potion means new

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Masteries

for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore

 ;)

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.

Adventure Mode

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

Adventure Mode brings 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 Skills available to you are

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Attack

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Strength

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Defence

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Attack
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Strength
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Defence
    , &
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 further 10 (just a visual change).
  • Harsher Combat Triangle Modifiers. Same as Hardcore Mode.
  • This is a safe Gamemode. It is okay to die.

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!

These Boss Pets provide a small Combat bonus to assist you in your adventures.

For those curious, the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Mist

Boss Pet requires 5 completions of the Dungeon. This is also unlocked retroactively, so there is no need to complete another 5.

Golbin Raid - Stage 2

The long awaited Stage 2 of the Golbin Raid Development Plan has finally arrived.

New Additions

  • The Raid Shop is now active. You can purchase upgrades, Items and Pets in this shop. All Items and Pets in the Raid Shop do not count towards completion.
  • Non-Combat skills will now go into offline mode during the Raid. This means you can train them while participating in Raids.
  • Added (Alt) Weapons to the Raid. (Alt) Weapons have a completely random Special Attack attached to them. You cannot see what the Special Attack will be, and the Special Attack does not change unless you pick a different weapon.
  • Prayer can now be unlocked and leveled up via the Raid Shop (for the Golbin Raid only).
  • The Combat Passive Slot can be unlocked via the Raid Shop. If unlocked, you have the option to acquire a Random Passive Item at the end of every 10 waves.
  • There is now a chance for the Golbins you face to have a random Passive attached to them. Be sure to look out for these and take note of why the Golbin you are facing is harder to kill than Ragnar.
  • You can now see the stats of items in the Item Selector. It also compares to what you currently have equipped.
  • You can now skip waves in the Raid at a cost of Raid Coins. This cost can be reduced via the Raid Shop.
  • New Item - Yellow Party Hat - Acquired in the Golbin Raid Shop. Does not count towards Item Completion.
  • New Pet -

  • Start with 500 of each elemental Rune, up from 100.

  • There's a few items in the Raid Shop to assist you with the Raid. These include increases to Quantity of Ammo, Runes and Food found during the Raid.

Check the Christmas Event 2020 Page in game for the details :D

I hope everyone has a fantastic festive season!

Alpha v0.18 - (14th December 2020)

Slayer 2.0

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

has been reworked with a new progression route, and an increased variety of content and gear.

Introduction

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

is a skill that has the ability to introduced players into new mechanics and challenges that other skills cannot do. The current system of Slayer did not really provide the variety we were after, and we knew we had to change it.

The new Slayer takes the existing fundamental mechanics and turns them into something that we feel is more enjoyable and more rewarding.

Players will see a tonne of new content including brand new high level monsters and very powerful items. The progression from early levels will feel much better, and Players are given more control to train this Skill.

Slayer Tasks

These are now broken down into 5 "Levels" that can be chosen when selecting a new task. These are categorised based on Enemy Combat Level.

They also cost

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer Coins

to select a new Task or when skipping your current task (but are free when completing a task and being assigned a new Task from the same Level automatically).

  • Easy - Combat Level 1-49 - Free (Unlocked at
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 1
    )
  • Normal - Combat Level 50-99 - 2,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    (Unlocked at
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 25
    )
  • Hard - Combat Level 100-199 - Costs 5,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    (Unlocked at
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 50
    )
  • Elite - Combat Level 200-374 - Costs 15,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    (Unlocked at
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 75
    )
  • Master - Combat Level 375+ - Costs 25,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    (Unlocked at
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 85
    )

Slayer Task Extensions

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

Tasks can be extended once at a cost of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer Coins

by clicking the Extend Slayer Task option in the Slayer Task Panel.

New Slayer Areas

There are 5 new Slayer Areas to tackle, all with brand new monsters and challenges. These Slayer Areas also have Area Effects that apply a debuff to you when fighting Enemies in it. These are the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runic Ruins

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Arid Plains

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shrouded Badlands

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Perilous Peaks

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dark Waters

.

New Slayer Dungeon - Miolite Caves

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Miolite Caves

is a new mid-game dungeon with 7 Monsters. Rewards the new Miolite Armour and Miolite Sceptre. Miolite Armour is a Hybrid

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

/

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

Armour set. Very similar to Ice Armour which is a Hybrid

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

/

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

Armour set.

New & Updated Slayer Gear, Progression & Requirements

The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

Gear in the shop that you can purchase has changed in many ways, which includes the brand new Master Tier of Slayer Gear.

Master Slayer Gear

You now able to acquire Master Tier Slayer Gear, which is much better than the Elite Tier.

This Tier of Slayer Gear provides Area Effect Negation, Damage Reduction, as well as increased chance to double dropped Loot.

New Gear Progression

It felt wrong allowing players to ignore complete tiers of items, and this didn't feel right in terms of progression. This has now changed to address this issue.

Players are now required to upgrade the Slayer Gear pieces, starting at Basic, to reach the highest tier of Armour available.

This is done by purchasing the new Slayer Upgrade Kit within the Slayer Shop for the respective tier, and combining it with the desired Slayer item to upgrade it.

Updated Slayer Gear & Benefits

With the inclusion of Slayer Task tiers, Players are now required to complete a set amount of Slayer Tasks before they are able to purchase the Slayer Upgrade Kits.

This also means we have made Slayer Gear just a little bit better in general.

These new benefits & requirements are:

  • Basic Slayer Gear - Still 10,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    - Each piece has 10% Area Effect Negation - Completion of 20 Normal Slayer Tasks required to purchase.
  • Strong Slayer Gear - Requires Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Strong) (50,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    ) - Each piece has 20% Area Effect Negation - Completion of 30 Hard Slayer Tasks required to purchase Kit.
  • Elite Slayer Gear - Requires Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Elite) (200,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    ) - Same Price - Each piece has 30% Area Effect Negation & 4% Damage Reduction - Completion of 40 Elite Slayer Tasks required to purchase Kit.
  • Master Slayer Gear - Requires Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master) (1,000,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer Coins
    ) - Each piece has +3% chance to receive double loot from slain monsters or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    & 40% Area Effect Negation, 40% Area Effect Negation & 6% Damage Reduction - Completion of 50 Master Slayer Tasks required to purchase Kit.

New Slayer Shop Items

There's a bunch of new stuff for you to purchase in the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

Shop, such as Basic Resupply,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Auto Slayer

, and more.

Updated Slayer Cape

The Slayer Skillcape has been updated to fit in nicely with all the above changes!

NEW: Bypasses Slayer Item Requirements from Slayer Areas. 60% Area Effect Negation. +5% Damage Dealt to Enemies on Slayer Task.

Endgame Content Pt.2

This update includes Part 2 of the storyline revolving around the Gods, as well as a brand new dungeon for Players to face.

The story so far

For those of you who don't know - there is a storyline in Melvor Idle. The first of this was introduced in Alpha v0.15 with the God Dungeons.

When you load into the game, you may be provided with one or two books to read, depending on your current progress.

I urge you to have a read of these books as they can provide an insight into why you're fighting the Gods, and what it is all leading up to within this update.

Into the Mist

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Mist

is the brand new Dungeon, and the first to be classed as Insane difficulty. Upon defeating the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fire God Dungeon

, you will be provided with Part 2 of the storyline and will also unlock access to this Dungeon.

You are required to fight through various random enemies from the game until you reach the final Boss.

The Final Boss is a 3 Phase battle which will test your preparation and skills in each Combat Style (

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

). Be sure to pay attention to the Enemy Passives, as it will tell you which Combat Style you must use.

This Dungeon is extremely difficult, and there is a very strong chance you will NOT be able to idle it. Luckily, you only need to beat the Dungeon once to claim all rewards.

Dungeon Mechanics
  • Most Enemies in this dungeon are Afflicted. Afflicted Enemies gain +20% Flat Damage Reduction.
  • Upon being successfully hit by an Enemy, you gain a stack of Affliction. Each stack reduces your Maximuim
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Hitpoints
    by 1% of your original Max HP. This resets after defeating the Enemy (Multi-hit Special Attacks are classed as ONE attack). Affliction is capped at 50 stacks.
  • The first 20 Monsters in this dungeon are randomised. Any Monster in the game, including those in Dungeons, can be selected if their Combat Level is between 165 & 677 inclusive. Monsters found in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dark Waters
    Slayer Area cannot be selected.
  • The final Boss is a 3 stage fight, so be prepared.
  • You are required to use a specific Attack Style (
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Melee
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    , and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    ) for each Phase of the final boss. Pay attention the the Passives to know which style to use.
  • Upon reaching Phase 1, 2 or 3; The fight will pause and allow you to read all the information. You can then press the button to continue the fight.
Dungeon Rewards
  • Item - New Dawn (it's a book, have a read)
  • Grant Access to the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dark Waters
    Slayer Area.
  • Unlocks the new Combat Passive Slot, one for each equipment set. This is a new slot where you can equip most Combat Items with passives and gain their benefit during the fight.
  • You cannot equip Weapons, Skillcapes (Including Max & Completion), Skilling Items or items that are already equipped in the same set to this slot. Some other items cannot be equipped as well.
  • Hovering or clicking an item in the bank will mention if it can be equipped to the Passive Slot.
  • You only gain the item's Passive, not the item's Standard stats (this includes flat Damage Reduction the item contains).

Infernal Stronghold

The 3rd new Dungeon added to the game is the heavily requested

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

. This is an upgraded, more deadly version of the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Volcanic Cave

.

Completing this Dungeon will reward you with the Infernal Cape as well as an Infernal Core. This Core can be used alongside your Dragon & Ancient Claws to upgrade them into the Infernal Claw.

This Dungeon requires 100 Completions of the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

to enter.

Alpha v0.17 - (14th October 2020)

Mastery System Rework

As it currently stands, the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

System within Melvor Idle is in a position where it simply requires a complete overhaul. The sense of progression and benefits in the current system are sub-par at best.

This rework aims to take the original concepts of the Mastery System, and add further avenues of progression in hopes the Player will feel a sense of reward for progressing it.

The system has been designed to be uniform in nature, where everything works together to achieve a set goal, as well as scale with ease alongside new content that may be introduced into the game without it being a detriment to the Player.

Mastery XP & Progression

Each individual item within the game still has its own {Mastery Level attached, with the maximum Mastery Level being 99.

The amount of Mastery XP required for each level has changed. The required Mastery XP to level up is now the same as it is for Skill Levels.

Mastery XP is earned per action within a Skill. The amount of Mastery XP you receive is based on these factors:

  • The time it takes to perform the action.
  • The individual Mastery Level of the item you are training on.
  • The total Mastery Level for that Skill.
  • The amount of unlocked Milestones for that Skill. Reaching Skill Level 99 is classed as a Milestone.

Mastery Pool

The Mastery Pool is a brand new mechanic introduced in this rework, and is designed to provide direct support to you in your efforts to achieve the 100% Mastery Goal.

Every time you perform an action that grants Mastery XP, an extra 25% of that Mastery XP is added to the respective Skill's Mastery Pool with the bonus increasing to 50% at Skill Level 99. This Mastery XP sitting within the Mastery Pool can then be spent to level up other items within the same Skill.

The Mastery Pool can only hold a set amount of Mastery XP based on how many items are in that Skill, so be sure to manage it efficiently.

Mastery Pool Checkpoints

Every Mastery Pool has four Checkpoints, and upon reaching these you will unlock a passive bonus. These checkpoints are reached at 10%, 25%, 50% & 95% respectively.

These bonuses will continue to activate, and deactivate depending on how you utilise the Pool within the Skill itself. So be sure to pay attention before spending all of your Mastery Pool XP.

Mastery Bonuses

Each individual item still provides a bonus, depending on the Mastery Level of that item. This existing system did not need to be changed, as I believe it works well as a whole when utlised correctly.

There are also new Mastery Level 99 bonuses for all items that provide just that little bit extra to help you along your journey.

Mastery Tokens

Now, you're all itching to know what is being done with these pesky items.

Mastery Tokens were added to the game initially as a "band-aid" fix to a much larger issue. Since then, they became pretty much the only way to make decent progress with Mastery.

Mastery Tokens within the rework act as a small helping hand. Something you can acquire, and use straight away to get a small nudge in terms of progression. It is no longer possible for them to be "wasted", and you no longer need to hoard them for 9 months before using one.

New Token Bonus: Grants Mastery Pool XP equal to 0.1% of the maximum Mastery Pool XP for the respective skill.

Important Changes Coming

The Mastery System required a large amount of balancing, and rethinking of bonuses that are currently in the game.

Due to these changes, these are the most important changes that will be included with the update:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore
    Tier unlocks changed to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    Levels [1, 20, 50, 90], up from [1, 15, 40, 65]. With the new Mastery Mechanics, it will take roughly the same amount of time to reach Level 90 Mastery in the new system as it did to reach Level 65 Mastery in the old system.
  • The Thieving Skillcape has been changed. The benefit is now: "Reduce
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    Interval by 0.5 seconds".
  • Crafting Skillcape now reduces the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Crafting
    Interval by 0.5s, instead of a flat 50% reduction.

Bank Rework

The Bank is one of the most important aspects of the game. This rework aims to address most issues with the Bank, while provided much-requested QoL additions in the process.

Introduction

The Bank has always been left behind in updates. As the game scales, and more content & mechanics are introduced, it was becoming apparent that the Bank needed a large overhaul to bring it up to scratch.

The new bank is designed to be scaled with ease alongside new content, as well as providing the Player with more options to organise their items.

The Bank will always be worked on to provide QoL to the Player, so I will be listening to all feedback regarding the Bank.

Bank Tabs

One of the most requested features for the Bank has finally arrived.

Everyone is provided 10 Bank tabs to organise their inventory. These tabs allow for easy organisation, as well as quick access to items you need.

For Desktop users, you are able to drag any item into any tab you wish. For everyone else, there is an option at the top of the bank to quickly move items into new tabs. Kind of like a Bulk Move Item mode.

The first item within the Tab determines the image that is displayed.

Bank Layout

The Bank is now separated into two sections: The Main Container and the Bank Sidebar.

The Main Container is just like it has always been, the section that stores all your items.

The Bank Sidebar is the new section which replaces the Dropdown menu you have been used to. Selecting an item will display this sidebar will all details and actions relating to your item. It's just like the dropdown, but with many more options to mess around with.

This new Bank Sidebar allows for easy scaling with new mechanics and ideas around items.

You are also able to see the Item Stats for the selected item, as well as change settings relating to the bank including New Bank Sorting Options.

On Mobile devices, this Bank Sidebar will pop-out for you when selecting an item.

More Control

The new Bank gives you more QoL control with actions you can perform with items.

The introduction of Sliders allows for quick and easy equipping, selling, opening or claiming of items. There is no need to open extra dropdowns and power through a bunch of options to get the quantities you need.

Equipping an item is also a lot more intuitive. You can select which Equipment Set you want the item to go to, as well as see what will be replaced when you equip that item. This also includes the option to equip X amount of Ammo.

Bulk Selling

Another new option you get is the ability to Bulk Sell All of your items.

By simply activating the option at the top of the Bank, you will be able to mark any unlocked item for Sale to quickly remove them from your Bank.

Game Guide

A long awaited inclusion to assist new Players.

Introduction

Melvor Idle is not your typical Idle game. For those who played RuneScape, you'll know that it's hard to simply "pick up and go".

This update includes the start of what I like to call the "Game Guide".

The Game Guide is a tutorial detailing the most important aspects a Player needs to know, and provides a helpful avenue to progressing in the game. It's short, but it gets straight to the point.

It will be worked on with every update, ensuring Players get the best experience possible.

How to Access

Players are greeted with a "Click This" tooltip that lies on the Image of the page they are currently on.

Clicking this image on any page will bring up the Game Guide that relates to that page.

Item Doubling Mechanic Changes

Item Doubling Mechanics in Melvor Idle have always been odd in the way they was handled.

Previously, each item you equipped that had a chance to double resources would roll that chance individually. This means if you had 3 items that had a chance to doubled items, it would be possible to double the item 3 times.

Now, item doubling chances are additive. This means if the item has a chance to double, these chances add up into 1 item doubling chance.

Important to Note: This only affects items that have a % chance to double. Items that specifically mention that they double items will always roll separately.

Example

Prior to v0.17 - You have 3 items equipped that provide 5% chance to double resources each. When you gather a resource, you have a 5% chance to double the item for each of these items.

It is possible to double the item 3 times. So you end up with 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 items in the end, which equals 8 items.

After v0.17 - The above 3 items now give you a total of +15% chance to double the resource. It will only roll once per action.

This means you can now only get 1 * 2 items, which equals 2.

Golbin Raid Inclusions & Balancing

Please note that this is not Golbin Raid Stage 2

This update includes some minor balance changes to the Golbin Raid Minigame, as well as two nifty inclusions.

New Inclusions

Golbin Raid Bosses have been added. These appear as the final Enemy for every 10 Waves. They are much more powerful than your regular Golbins, so watch out!

The Golbins now all have randomised names! They are all named after Past, Present and Future Elite Supporters from Patreon. They also receive a randomised Trait to give them a bit of a personality.

Balancing

Exact Numbers are in the changelog at the bottom.

  • Increased scaling for Golbin Raid Coins. You now get more the further you go!
  • Reduced Golbin HP scaling so they are no longer as beefy early game.
  • Increased Stat Bonus scaling for the Golbins. They hit a little harder now.
  • The minimum quantity of Food you can get is now equal to the Wave you are up to.
  • Reduced enemy respawn time by 50% - Faster waves, faster Raids, faster gains.

Alpha v0.16 - "The Art of Magic" - (22nd July 2020)

Magic Content Update

This update introduces brand new mechanics for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

which includes new Spellbooks, new Magic Gear, and an updated

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

.

Curses

Curses are Debuffs that a Player can apply to an Enemy, on top of using a standard

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

spell. These cost additional Runes per Player attack turn, even if you miss.

All Curses have a set % chance to apply to an Enemy and last 3 Enemy attack turns if applied.

These cannot stack, and only one Curse can be applied at a given time.

Auroras

Auroras are buffs that a Player can activate to provide a unique benefit in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. All Aurora buffs last as long as you are wielding a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

Weapon and you have the required Runes to keep them active. An Aurora uses Runes every time you attack.

You can only have one Aurora active at a time.

Tier III Auroras require the Book of Eli to be equipped to use.

Ancient Magicks

Ancient Magicks are a brand new, heavy hitting Spellbook with some satisfying effects.

Each Spell within this book requires a specific task to be completed in order to unlock them for use. Hovering or Clicking on the "?" in the Ancient Magicks spellbook will show the requirements.

Due to their unique abilities, you are not able to use Curses or Damage Modifying Auroras alongside them.

Alt. Magic (Non-Combat Magic)

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Alt. Magic

is an alternative way to level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

using Spells outside of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. These non-Combat

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

Spells provide a unique approach to certain mechanics in the game, at a cost of Runes. This is a system that will continue to be built on as development progresses to provide many optional pathways for a Player to take. You can find a new skills tab called

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Alt. Magic

to train this Skill.

Things to note:

  • There are no
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Masteries
    for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Alt. Magic
    .
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Superheating
    Bars requires the correct
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing
    level.
  • Locked items do not appear on the item selection screen.

Pets

These cute little critters have invaded Melvor and are waiting to be found!

Pets are a new addition which provide a small, permanent, passive benefit when they are eventually found. There is a very small chance you will find one when performing a specific action in game.

Right now, there are 20 Pets in game, and most of them are found by simply training Skills. They count towards your completion percentage.

Hardcore Mode

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hardcore Mode

is the second official gamemode for Melvor Idle that can be selected upon creating a Character.

This mode plays the same as Standard, but with a few nasty adjustments to provide an extra challenge.

More features, changes, and adjustments will be made throughout development of the game.

Rules of Hardcore

  • This gamemode is Permadeath. If you die, your Character is deleted permanently.
  • No Passive
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Health
    Regeneration.
  • Your Bank is limited to 80 maximum slots when buying from the Shop. This can only be increased further by claiming Bank Tokens.
  • Harsher Combat Triangle penalties.

Character Selection

Character Selection is a brand new feature that allows you to create up to 3 different Characters that you can seamlessly switch between using a single account.

These Characters can be linked to one Cloud account that you can take with you anywhere you go, on any device.

Upon loading the game, you will notice the new selection screen as well as an option to toggle the Local or Cloud saves to select. You can also create new Characters from the same screen.

Information

  • You can seamlessly switch Characters from the top-right dropdown menu.
  • A Cloud account is not required to utilise this feature.
  • Character completion is tracked per character, not account-wide.
  • Yes, it is possible to play all three Characters at the same time in separate windows on Desktop.
  • The Character Selection distinguishes between Local Save and Cloud Save.

Combat Triangle and Mechanic Adjustments

Alongside the new

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

Content, we are introducing adjustments to how the Combat Triangle is defined within Melvor Idle. Previously, there was a lack of definition for each

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

Style which allowed Players to simply choose either

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

, or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

without much consequence. These changes are aimed at providing a reason to use different styles against different enemies.

Although the changes seem highly consequential, this actually makes it possible to completely idle all current content within the game, which is one of the main issues this addresses.

The below diagram shows new buffs and debuffs a player will receive when using specific

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

Styles against certain enemies. The second diagram shows

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hardcore Mode's

more brutal adjustments.

New Manual Eat Mechanic

Another issue this update addressed was the unfortunate mechanic of manually Eating to "cheese" late-game content. With the addition of the above Combat Triangle adjustments, it seemed fitting to address this mechanic at the same time.

As it stood, you were able to spam the Eat button to continuously Heal during

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

with no consequence. This in turn allowed Players to complete late-game content prior to the intended requirements.

Now, when you eat food manually, your Attack will be reset. This also means if a Special Attack was about to activate, it will no longer proc.

Increased Maximum Hitpoints

There are now items and passives in the game that grant Increased Maximum

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hitpoints

. As the name suggests, your Maximum

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
HP

increases when the items are equipped. This also means that your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hitpoints

can be higher than the prior Maximum, which was

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

990 Hitpoints at

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

.

Updated God Armour Images

Since the release of Alpha v0.15, it has been noted quite a few times that the existing artwork of the God Armour did not suit the style and "simplicity" of the game. I agree, and it is time to change that.

This update introduces updated artwork to suit the style of the game.

All edited artwork was kindly provided by Breindahl, one of our Discord Server Moderators and long-standing Member of the Community. Please be sure to pass all thanks to him for the hard work he put into editing the images!

Removed Features

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

  • Introducing the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    page. This minibar will display on all pages, so you are no longer required to keep checking back to make sure you are not about to die. If you do not wish to see this, you can disable it in settings.
  • You can now Sell ALL but 1. This setting remembers your choice, so it will update the sale quantity for each bank item you click to easily sell all but 1 without needing to select the option each time.
  • Hovering over an item in a crafting-related skill will now show the recipe in a tooltip.

Changed Features

  • Ice Shortbows now have +37
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    Strength Bonus.
  • Ice Longbows now have +75
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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, ridiculous 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dungeon Equipment Swapping

, best-in-slot gear for all 3 combats, lots of food, prayer points and potions.
Difficulty: I consider the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Volcanic Cave

challenging, but not overly difficult. Using rough estimates, I believe the easiest God Dungeon is ~6x more difficult than

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Volcanic

, they are pretty tough.

Ranged Content Update

Alongside the inclusion of the God Dungeons, it was a perfect time to address an area of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

that was lacking quite a bit -

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    Armour can now be upgraded just like regular
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Melee
    Armour.
  • Adjusted values for Shortbow & Longbow stats.
  • New pieces of equipment that will assist with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    .

There's a lot of choice here, and it will seem pretty overwhelming at first. But I can tell you now that

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Crafting

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 v0.14.2 (10th April, 2020)

EASTER EVENT 2020

In the sidebar, you will now find a link to an Easter Event Page and will be greeted by a minigame. The goal of the game, if you are unfamiliar, is to get through as many tree logs as possible without touching the ground, or hitting the tree trunk. This will reward you with Easter Eggs that you can spend in the Easter Shop!

Simply left click the mouse, or touch the screen, to move upwards. There are three different modes for you to play as well - Easy, Normal and Hard. The harder difficulties provide extra Easter Eggs per successful clear.

High scores are tracked for each difficulty, as well as the total amount of Easter Eggs you have collected.

You can play this Minigame while training other skills freely. You are not required to participate if you do not wish. There are no exclusive items that cannot be received outside the minigame.

Enjoy!

This event will be live until Tuesday 14 April (Australian time).

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 receive a complete rework, as well as some new addition to shake up

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

.

Here is what has been added.

Skill Rework - Fishing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 endeavours. You will be greeted with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

.

There are 10 new types of Fish to catch and 10 different special items to catch. See the 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Legend
New Buffed Nerfed

Dungeon Rework - Volcanic Cave

This update includes a new and improved look for the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 are 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.

New Features

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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
    Combat
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore
    Potion - Divine Potion - Chance to not consume
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
    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.
  • You can now see how many charges a potion has from the Bank tooltip.
  • Clicking on your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Task will now jump directly to that enemy and start combat.

    Augury
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
    now also provides +10%
    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).
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Runecrafting
    now displays locked Runes (just like the other crafting skills).
  • Potion Menu in the Header now displays the amount of potion charges.
  • You can now toggle the Auto Use Potion setting directly from the Potions menu.

    UI.

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Crafting
    XP provided by all Rings and Necklaces. Diamond Jewellery XP rates increased by 200%. Gold Jewellery also provides slightly more XP than Silver Jewellery.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Crafting
    XP for Green/ Blue/ Red Dragonhide gear has been reduced by 20%. Black Dragonhide XP has been left untouched.
  • Skill &
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    Progress Bars now show exact changes in XP and now allows you to see tiny increments in progress (the % no longer rounds down to the nearest whole number).
  • Herblore Potion now provides a second potion of a random tier, rather than replacing the potion you create.
  • Updated the look of the progress bar for Skills &
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    progress when reaching Level 99.

Bugfixes

  • Compost All will no longer deduct 2,000GP 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.
  • Potentially fixed issue with crops insta-growing in some specific circumstances.

Removed Features

  • The map of Melvor has been shelved.

Alpha v0.12.2 (17th February 2020)

I promise this update won't delete your save!

New Features

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

Changed Features

  • The game now auto-saves locally every 10 seconds, as opposed to after every action which would sometimes be several times per second. This should release some of the stress on your computer.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Lighting
    a Bonfire will no longer stop/interrupt other skills.

Bugfixes

  • 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 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.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Augury
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prayer
    now provides the correct stats.

    will now only use the required amount of Compost to fill the bar to 100%.

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat
    functions.
  • The text in the Bank that tells you about the "Click and Drag" now shows up correctly on Dark Mode.
  • Some spelling errors have been rectified.

Alpha v0.12.1 (16th February 2020)

New Features

  • New
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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 shout out 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore

is also known 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

, where the seeds can be collected through means such as

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farmer

(who drops an Herb Sack quite often). These herbs all have an varied grow times, and can be planted in their dedicated patches in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

. Each potion has 4 Tiers, with each Tier increasing the benefits provided by the potion itself. These tiers are locked behind

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

is classed as one skill. You can only have one

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 you're 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), and Elite Magic Wand. More special attacks will be added down the track!

Equipment Sets

This update introduces what I like to call

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Equipment Sets

. These are basically presets you are able to customise to utilise in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. You can purchase two extra

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

, you can switch between the sets seamlessly as you wish.

Farming UI Update

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

has received a slight make-over. With the introduction of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore

, the existing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

setup did not work. This UI update brings a few nifty features that I'm sure everyone will love. The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Prayer

provides players with the benefit of using buffs in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

screen at any time. There are currently 25 different prayers for you to explore, each unlocked as you level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Prayer

XP - You gain a base of 1 XP per (damage / 10) in combat. To gain further

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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!

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

revolves around defeating specific Monsters within Melvor to gain XP. As you level your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

, you will gain access to unique areas, which sometimes contain unique,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

only items that will provide massive advantages in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. With the introduction of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

comes a new currency -

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer Coins

. These coins can be obtained by completing Slayer Tasks (Obtained in Combat Screen) which can then be spend accordingly in the new

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 are two ways gain

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 request a new task in this case).
  2. Monsters located in Slayer Areas always provide some
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    XP, but not as much as Slayer Tasks.

Combat Number Adjustment

This update also includes a change to the numbers game for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

. To put it simply; all

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 increments 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 maximum 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 the 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 to the 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)

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Slayer area.
  • New Patreon Item (Hxlmer) - Bobby's Pocket. This has a 1% chance to drop per
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving
    action. Provides a nice GP bump when sold.
  • New Patreon Item (Eliass) - Book of Eli. This is an offhand Magic Book that can be equipped to provide further
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    benefits. Only obtainable from the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Hall of Wizards
    dungeon.
  • The bankend of the Melvor Cloud has been redone. It now uses token based authentication which is stored in the form of cookies to ensure persistent logins.

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 1,000,000GP.

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?

Let's have a look at what has been introduced this update.

Dungeons

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.

Each dungeon provides a unique chest as a reward. Inside this chest are many valuable items for you to obtain.

Note: You are not able to change your equipment or food choice during the dungeons. Choose your options wisely before you start!

Let's see who can beat them all!

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.

If you are logged into the Cloud, your save will automatically upload to the cloud every 5 minutes. You can force a synchronize by visiting the dropdown menu under your username.

As always, please backup your save before performing any actions as a safeguard.

combat is the latest addition to the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Alpha v0.07 (9th October 2019)

This update focuses on updates to current content within Melvor Idle.

The main focus is on balance (except

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

), as well as an array of changes, fixes, optimizations and other QoL inclusions.

I have also added a Patreon link to the sidebar in-game. For those who wish to directly support the development of this game, and receive some benefits along the way, I would be greatly appreciative of that. 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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hitpoints

. This skill is idle, as long as you don't die. If you are stunned, you will resume training after a few seconds. Your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

level and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

level play into the success rate.

Farming

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Alpha v0.05 (21st September 2019)

Welcome to Alpha v0.05 - The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat

Update! This update introduces

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 out 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:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Attack

- Responsible for your chance to hit, as well as what tier of weapons you can equip.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Strength

- Higher level = bigger hits ;).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Defence

- Responsible for your chance to dodge, as well as what tier of armour you can equip.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 are 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 are only 8 loot slots. Once the limit 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!

Alpha v0.04 (11th September 2019)

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.

We are also own our very own domain! That's exciting!

New in this Update:

Cooking

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

!

FISHING

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

FIREMAKING

  • Burn the logs acquired from
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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 skill 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting
    interval has been increased from 2000 to 3000.
  • Removed the ability to disable Auto Save.

Alpha v0.02 - (30th November 2018)

CONTENT UPDATE: WOODCUTTING PRESTIGE

This update includes the implementation of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

Prestige. Achieving Skill Mastery not enough?

Continue into prestige ranks and achieve levels far beyond originally possible.

  • Entering
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting
    Prestige allows you to level past Level 99.
  • All
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

becomes quite profitable later on if you make it that far.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    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.

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 familiar 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,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

. The preview is designed to show what the new skills will consist of, and provide an insight into a new mechanic.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

: Self explanatory. Select a location to catch the designated fish assigned to that area to level up.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

: Burn the logs collected from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 to the new skills.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

are 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 release planned for the future.
  • Removed the image for your 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.

FIRST SKILL RELEASE: WOODCUTTING

  • 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
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting
    .

Auto Cutting

  • Tired of clicking? Lazy? Just let the game do it for you. However, you need to earn that ability via Milestones.

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!
