BIG DISCLAIMER The site is currently being activey worked on, please check back in a few hours for an updated version of this page. The Fishing Advice was removed as it was a terrible suggestion, alternative methods for bank slots / GP will be offered in the new version
Melvor Idle is a cut down RPG game with many hidden depths. There is no right or wrong way to progress in the game, and you will rarely (if ever) be punished for experimenting. Melvor Idle is about the journey not the destination.
Enjoy!
The Wiki
The Melvor Wiki is a majority community lead project. The raw data is imported directly from the game, this includes the pages with Monster, Item, Area, Spell, Skill Information/Data. One can almost guarantee that the information on those pages matches in-game content 100%.
As mentioned, the rest of the wiki is written by users/players such as yourself. There are a few Discord Administrators/Moderators that (occasionally) participate in helping on the Wiki, the majority however is done Players. There is no active professional team that keeps the wiki up to date. This is done to the best of the abilities by the people participating on maintaining the Wiki, things do however fall through the cracks. If you notice something that is incorrect/misspelled/out of date or just could be better in general, feel free to create your own Wiki Account and edit it!
Every edit is monitored by other Players and Discord Moderators, egregious edits will be undone/removed, they can also be discussed on the "talk" pages on the Wiki or on the Melvor Discord in the #wiki-discussion channel. This channel is open for:
- Reporting incorrect data or spelling that you either don't know how to edit or simply don't want to edit.
- Suggestions of what need to be changed to be more optimal for User experience
- Pointing out very out of date Guides that don't actually work anymore, these will usually get a huge disclaimer on them until they can be worked on
- People wanting to Contribute and feel like they have things to say / information to impart
- If you don't have the time or the know how how to edit on the Wiki, be this to simply pass on what you'd want done * or perhaps players in the channel being able to teach you how to do it
When following guides, please check the version in which this was published, some guides are very out of date or no longer relevant, there's work being done on updating them, but writing a good guide takes time and the current dedicated editing team is small. We'll welcome any help we can get, no matter how small or big.
Goal of this Guide
This guide gives one method for how to start your Melvor Idle journey. The goal is to give players a helping hand in the early stages of the game. It is in no way complete, or optimal for all play styles.
There are several ways to play this game. Some choices can be found [|here]
Why not to use this guide?
There are many reasons that this guide may not be useful:
- If following steps is not your thing then look elsewhere, these steps take a long time to complete and are very prescriptive.
- Do you have a preferred play-style? For example, combat is great! Why not give it a try? This guide is focussed on skilling and obtaining some important long-term benefits from some hard-to-get items and boosts.
- This guide is intended for Standard and Error creating thumbnail: File missingHardcore Game Modes:
- If you are playing
Adventure game-mode then please refer to the Adventure/Guide. - If you are playing Ancient Relics game-mode then please refer to the Ancient Relics/Guide.
- If you are playing
Before you start
In general:
- This game is meant to be idled - this means that it is intended that you do not actively play this game, but instead do other things, such as go on a walk, or visit the zoo! And when you come back, hopefully you will start to see some progress, but do not expect to complete this game in a week.
- This game however also some more active play when it comes to the combat. You can spend as little or as much time as you want optimizing your farming there.
- Items and equipment will give you small benefits that stack up over time, so do not expect to be a Melvor god after you have completed all of the steps outlined below - you will still have a lot of gameplay left, and the expansions are a great investment if you are yearning for more!
- You should expect some parts of these guide to take many days and weeks to complete, so feel free to deviate from the guide at any time.
- Off-line progress is capped to 24-hours, and so once you start following these steps, you may feel it necessary to keep the game running continuously, or feel the need to check-in on progress regularly. If you do need a break, this is ok - the progress cap might feel like a limitation at first, but it also means that your township doesn't fall into disarray after a long break. If you're unable or unwilling to log in within the 24 hour timespan, there's the option to download the "Unlimited Offline" Mods, please be aware that the longer you stay offline with that mod, the longer it will take for the game to load in.
Types of skills
Because this game is complicated, these categories are not perfect (e.g.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agilityis categorized as a meta skill, but it can also be used to good effect to generate money). With this in mind, here is a high level grouping and description of each skill and what it's for.
Meta skills
These skills are mostly centered around "if you invest in this skill, other skills will get stronger". Some of these skills also provide some direction about what order to work on other skills, because the bonuses to work on other skills come in a certain order. For the sake of simplicity, this section only discusses non-combat bonuses. See the full skill page for how they provide buffs for combat skills.
| Skill | Description | Order of unlocks for other skills |
|---|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology |
This is the most straightforward meta-skill. Study constellations to unlock permanent bonuses for the respective skills. It takes a lot of investment in Astrology before Astrology buffs itself. | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Farming Error creating thumbnail: File missing Woodcutting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fletching Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crafting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning |
Create Summoning tablets that provide a small bonus to the corresponding skill, using a combination of materials that use ingredients from the skill and materials you buy for GP. Unlock much stronger bonuses by using synergies after progressing in multiple different summons. | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Woodcutting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crafting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fletching Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking |
Firemaking provides flat percentage bonuses for all skills: skill XP in the form of  Firemaking Skillcape and mastery XP, from the pool checkpoint and achieving 99 item mastery. It's also required to unlock better cooking fires. |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore |
Most skills have at least one potion that provides a bonus. For non-combat skills, these potions are usually increased output of resources, but there are some important exceptions for speeding up progression. | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking -  Controlled Heat Potion Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology -  Secret Stardust Potion Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining -  Perfect Swing Potion Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility -  Performance Enhancing Potion Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting -  Elemental Potion
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility |
Build obstacles that provide fixed bonuses to specific skills. The higher your skill level, the more obstacles you can build, at higher tiers. However, these obstacles also get progressively more difficult to build, both in terms of money and in terms of items, but they also have some of the strongest bonuses in the game. As you progress in Melvor, you will find yourself swapping between obstacles reasonable often. | Agility has too many bonuses with complicated ordering, so it's difficult to enumerate them like in the previous sections. Please see the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility page for full information.

Raw Material Gathering Skills
These skills provide items that usually aren't useful for themselves, but are very important for doing other skills.

Farming is passive output, you don't activate Farming. | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore - Herbs for all potions are made in Farming.

Ways to Play The Game
There are several ways to play the Game, depending on your goals and preferred game play. Here are some suggested ways to play the game and a guide on how to do it.
- Laid back, only logging in once/twice per day, what to set your offline times to and what to do when online
- Skilling Focused, max out everything to 99/120 then start combat while having access to everything and being as overpowered as possible
- Max efficiency without Throne of the Herald , mix of the 1st and 2nd but then choosing the most optimal way
- Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald road to 100% completion, this will be combat focused, level as little non-combat as possible to rush herald for the 2% interval, after which skills and item collection will be done.
Before we get into the actual different way to play. It is generally advised you get a good feel of the game and how it works / interacts. This is generally achieved by leveling all the skills to around Level 20-30 and beat a Dungeon or 2. Once everything is around level 30 you should better understand how the game works and if you like it. The Core Game Mechanics won't really change much, it gets slightly more complicated especially when it comes to Combat later on, there will be more and more Skill interactions once you get to higher levels. Faster Experience Gains and you'll receive loot quicker. But this is about it. This would be an excellent point to determine if this game is for you or you'd rather move on.
- It is advised you start by leveling Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology for the minor gains you'll get from that at low levels.
- Your next skill should be Error creating thumbnail: File missingFishing to get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Shop upgrades for the first 2 Axes, Fishing Rods and Pickaxes. Once you get to roughlyError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 23 you should get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the 3rd tier Fishing Rod, Sell everything that you get apart from the Fish
