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. Although there are a few Discord Administrators/Moderators that (occasionally) participate in helping on the Wiki, the majority is done by Players. There is no active professional team that keeps the wiki up to date. This is done to the best of the abilities of the people maintaining the Wiki, but things do 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 If you notice something that is incorrect/misspelled/out of date or just could be better in general, feel free to create your own Wiki Account and edit it!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  • Pointing out very out of date Guides that don't actually work anymore, these will usually get a huge disclaimer on them until they can be worked on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 to edit on the Wiki, simply pass on what you'd want done, or perhaps ask players in the channel 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When following guides, please check the version in which this was published; some guides are very out of date or no longer relevant.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:

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.
  • Offline 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" Mod. Please be aware that the longer you stay offline with that mod, the longer it will take for the game to load in.

Skills That Boost Other 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.

There is a far more comprehensive list of what Skills do exactly to be found at Beginners Guide.

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

page for full information.

Choosing the Way 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.

Before Settling on Desired Game-play

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 30-40 and beat a Dungeon or 2. Once everything is around level 35 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.


The entire process of leveling everything to around level 35 should take about 2-3 hours. If you don't have that time to spare in 1 sitting, do what you can and then switch to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology

until the next time you log back in. There is never any harm to level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology

, it will only give you more benefits. At later stages you might want to switch to different skills for other benefits, for now this is your best choice.

  1. It is advised you start by leveling
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
    for the minor gains you'll get from that at low levels.
    • You can stop at
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 40
      for now.
      • Buy the the first 5 levels of the first 2 Stars (the Blue ones) in each Constellations (
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Deedree
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Iridan
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ameria
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Terra
        and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Vale
        ). If you have enough   Stardust.
      • This will give you 15% Global Accuracy, 5% experience and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery
        gain in:
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Woodcutting
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Farming
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Smithing
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Firemaking
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mining
        and 5% Experience in
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Attack
        and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Strength
  2. Your next skills should be
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
    • Summoning is a very important skill for boosting all your other skills, and it is leveled by equipping summoning tablets. It levels very slowly while you do everything else, and it is nearly impossible to come back later and rush level it.
    • Start chopping   Normal Logs until you get your first
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent
      mark.
    • Sell some of your logs and use the money to buy   Summoning Shard (Green) to make about 100
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent
      tablets.
    • Repeat (moving up to   Oak Logs and   Willow Logs as they become available) until you have
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 15
  3. Your next skills should be
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking
    (and more
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Summoning
    )
    • To get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Shop upgrades for the first 2 Axes, Fishing Rods and Pickaxes,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pig
      tablets.
    • Once you get to roughly
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 23
      you should get enough Gold Pieces to upgrade the Fishng Rod to the level 20 one.
    • At
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 30
      Sell all the Junk that you got apart from the Fish, and about half of the fish.
    • When you unlock
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Octopus
      , stop to make some tablets and equip them.
    • Make sure to save 300   Raw Herring and 300   Raw Salmon for the next section.
    • Next is
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cooking
      the fish caught from
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing
      , this will be used in Combat.
      • Make sure
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Level 25
        before you switch to
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking
        , so you can unlock
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig
        .
  4. The next skill would be
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Agility
    • This has some minor increases for
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cooking
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Herblore
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Firemaking
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mining
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Archaeology
      at low levels.
    • Switching
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      Obstacles can be quite pricy at these levels, especially before you have a good moneymaking Method. If you can focus on 1 Obstacle in each Tier and leave them for now, we can start switching later on.
    • At
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 20
      , make sure to build
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pit Jump
      as your Tier 3 obstacle with the     fish you saved from the previous step.
  5. After this finish the rest of the Skills to Level 30, the order in which you do this is not very important, you might run into not being to some Artisan Skills yet as you don't have the resources from the Gathering Skills yet, just come back later to those skills.

There are several ways to earn Gold Pieces in this Game. Below are some suggestions on how you can obtain them effectively.

When Combat is the main focus, it is generally recommended that your first 1,000,000  goes towards

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Auto Eat


Skill Level Method Comment
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving
54 / 57 / 77 At apropriate Levels thieving
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fisherman
,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cyclops
and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Knight
provides some of the best GP/h, but
you will need to obtain   Chapeau Noir,   Golbin Mask,   Thiever's Cape,   Sneak-Ers from
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving
, and also
  Gloves of Silence from   Thief in
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runic Ruins
, which requires
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 45
It takes quite a while to set up
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving
correctly, be sure you don't do this before
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Auto Eat
as you'll most likely die. Also don't forget to enable the "Continue on Stun" option if you have plenty of Food available
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fishing
?? Fishing in general is quite bad for  , but it is an easy AFK method to grind out the first 1,000,000 
Low Level
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining
0 Low Level Mining with   Gem Gloves might sound like a good idea; it does give you some profit, but it yields very poor hourly gains.
 
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining
85 Mining is a really good way to earn  , but it doesn't really start generating a lot before Level 85. It also requires you to have  .   Pure Crystal sells for 750  each, which racks up quite quickly and should average around 4,000,000  per hour without any boosts.   Perfect Swing Potion will help immensely if you wish to farm   with this Method

With this minor preparation of the Skills, we're now ready to start picking the desired Way to Play, be it Skilling or Combat you should be set for both!

Ways To Play The Game

Laid Back

This Guide is aimed at people that don't have a lot of time, or don't want to log in more than once or twice a day. If you have 10-20 minutes to play and want to do something else than is suggested here, feel more than free to do so, the majority of these things will take a long time, 10 to 30 minutes won't impact the overall progress that much.

  1. Start by vising your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    , Select the   Aeris Worship. This grants the best benefits for a while.
  2. We start off with a little preparing to do some minor Combat.
  3. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining
    to Level 50. This gives us access to   Mithril Ore.
    • Save all the Ore you mine for the next step.
  4. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing
    to Level 57. - Has a minimal Guide here.
  5. Sell all the Crafted
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing
    Items and sell all the rest of your Ores.
    • This should get you closer to 1,000,000 .
      • Either go
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing
        or mine   Crystal in
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mining
        (Requires the  Atlas of Discovery Expansion) until you reach 1,000,000 
      • Once 1,000,000  has been obtained, buy
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat
        from the Shop.
      • If you still have some food from leveling
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Fishing
        to Level 30, equip the food and you're ready for some Combat.
      • If you're out of Food Fish up some   Shrimp and cook those in
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking
        so they can be eaten.
      • To consume food, it must first be equipped through the Bank and then selected using the food drop-down menu on the
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Combat
        or
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Thieving
        page.
      • The suggested target for now is the   Master Farmer. He drops Seeds which will be needed for
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Farming
        . With
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat
        and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Hitpoints
        Level 30 this should be completely safe as long as you don't run out of food. Killing   Master Farmer will
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Auto Eat
        around 420   Shrimp per hour. If you have higher healing food than   Shrimp you will be using less than 420 per hour.
  6. Plant a few of your found Seeds in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Farming
    Farming Plots.
    • Be sure to this once every so often to passively Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Farming
      .
  7. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
    is our next Skill.
  8. The first large goal is to reach
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 99
    , this increases
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery
    and   Stardust gains.
    • Start with Deedree and work your way up through the other Constellations when they unlock.
    • If they're close to Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery
      it will be worth waiting a little while then switch as soon as they reach Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery
      .
    • Once you're
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 99
      buy the   Astrology Skillcape from the Shop and equip it.
    • Keep training
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Astrology
      until all Constellations are at least Level 80
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mastery
      , this allows you to Purchase 5 of the 6 Stars.
      • There are a few Constellations where it's worth to Level them all the way to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery
        and Purchase all the stars, those are:
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Iridan
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Terra
        ,  
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Nysa
        ,
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Arachi
        and
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ko
        .
    • If the  Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned, this skill can go to Level 120.
      • In which case it's worth sticking to
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Astrology
        .
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Haemir
        is only used to level
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Astrology
        if you're not at Level 110 yet.
        • If you're already at
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Level 110
          you can completely ignore
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Haemir
          , the rewards from this Constellation will not provide any bonuses for now.
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Rosaniya
        is a very good Constellation and should be fully maxed to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery
        and Purchase all the stars.
      • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Ashtar
        is also extremely powerful, but can be skipped until you start combat. If you do combat in the times you are online, it is highly recommended you max out this Constellation to 99
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Mastery
        too and Purchase all the stars.
  9. The next step is to make some Gold Pieces  
    • We start by
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting
      .
    • Keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Woodcutting
      until you find the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ent

        reaches Level 25 and your
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Octopus
        is Mark Level 3.
  11. Start by
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking
    the Fish you caught in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    .
      • We're looking for
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig
        Marks here
      • Once you receive your first Mark, craft some
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig
        Tablets and continue
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Cooking
        .
      • Keep Cooking your Fish until your
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Pig
        is Mark Level 3.
        • If you run out of Fish you can buy   Bag of Flour and turn those into   Bread.
        • For this the
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Basic Furnace
          will be needed. If your
          Error creating thumbnail: File missing
          Pig
          is already at Mark Level 3, you can skip these steps for now and move on to point #6 .
  12. The
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Pig
     
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Octopus
    will give a 75% chance to give you a Cooked version of the Fish you're fishing.
    • Keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing
      selling all the Raw and Cooked fish you obtain. Your goal is around 47,000,000  to prepare for
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
    • You can also keep
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fishing
      for more   to buy some Bank Slots. How many slots is up to the Player, a minimum of 100-150 would be suggested.
  13. This is also a good time to upgrade to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier II
    for 5,000,000  and then
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier III
    for 20,000,000 . This makes your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat
    more effective.
  14. Visit
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    and check out the Tasks some are quite easy to do and very worth your time.
    • You can buy   Bar Box I,   Wood Box I and   Herb Box I after completing 40 Tasks and having Level 40 in the relevant skill. These boxes will help a lot while leveling
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Smithing
      ,
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Fletching
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Herblore
      .
    • Now that you have a way to make   start investing in your Town. Build buildings that increase your resource generation.
      • You can't completely mess up your Town, if you don't notice in time that one of your resources is running low and you're not producing very much of it, all that it is gonna do is cost you time. Production of resources never falls to 0 so you will be able to build some buildings eventually. It just might take time.
      • Looking up a Guide for how to build your Town is not needed, almost all guides relating to that are from before the rework of
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing

        and are no longer relevant.

  17. This is where the Guide ends. Feel free to look up how to level other Skills by visiting their Guides.
  18. When you're active and online it is advised you do some Combat. Especially at the start Combat sessions don't last long and desired items are gotten rather quickly.
  19. Please don't forget to return to the Step you were on when you're going offline again. Offline Combat can kill you if you run out of Food.


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 or Atlas of Discovery

Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald and Atlas of Discovery

Combat First Max efficiency with Throne of the Herald road to 100% Completion

This Method aims at clearing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Throne of the Herald

as soon as possible for the   Harold pet. This gives:

  • Max Pool Mastery Cap increased by 25%
  • 2% Global Interval reduction
  • 0.1s Attack Speed Interval reduction
  • 5% Global Mastery Gain
  • as well as many more useful things.

Doing this first has great benefits on the entirety of your account & required Playtime to reach 100% Completion.

This will be combat focused. Level as little non-combat as possible to rush   Harold for the benefits, after which skilling and attacking will be faster/easier. It's the biggest boost one can get in the entire game.

It is recommended you completely ignore

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township

buildings after setting   Aeris as your Worship.


Before going into Combat it is recommended to Level these Non-Combat Skills:

Skill Level Reason
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology
60 Max out the first stars (They give Global Accuracy which applies to all Attack Styles)
in the Constellations
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Iridan
,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Terra
,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Vale
,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Syllia
and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Arachi
. If there is not enough   Stardust obtained, try to balance out where you spend it and maximize the amount of Accuracy Gained.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting
85 For   Ancient Runes & decently crafted Wizard Equipment.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining
&
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing
40 At 40
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining
and 40
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing
you can mine & craft   Silver Bar and   Gold Bar, which are required to upgrade Melee Armour to (G), so they actually get their Damage Reduction.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility
70 To start with
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 50
will be enough.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99
should be the aim once
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event
is beaten.

Later Aims should be:

Skill Level Reason
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore
or
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography
90 Both these Skills grant access to   Damage Reduction Potion IV which is very helpful, especially in the  Throne of the Herald Expansion.
When
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Herblore
is chosen it will also need  
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 90
. In
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography
1000 can be obtained at (31, 19)   The Sand-Covered Treasure. These can be turned in for 5,000   Damage Reduction Potion IV with Township Task Hard 15.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology
90 Only when also doing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 90
, since this allows access to   Underwater Ruins which has the very powerful   Engulfing Vortex Longbow. This is quite a grind but well worth it; the weapon shreds through Throne of the Herald content
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology
118 This is highly Optional Not required but very fun to play with,   Merman Pendant and   Pirate Hook are 2 very powerful items only obtainable from very high
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology
. You can defeat the entire game without them, they will however make some parts of the game faster/more fun.

Starting Off Your Journey

Once you've got all the skills at around Level 30, with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology

at level 60,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility

at Level 50,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

at Level 85 and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining

&

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing

at Level 40. You're ready to start your Combat Journey.

  1. It is assumed that Combat Stats are also at Level 30.
    • If your Combat Skills are not Level 30, go beat up some   Chicken,   Cow or   Golbin to get to at least
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Attack
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Defence
      Level 5.
    • Craft some Steel Equipment and upgrade it twice with   Silver Bar and   Gold Bar to it's (G) version so it gets the Damage Reduction.
      • Equip the armour and continue your Combat.
      • It is suggested to do Slayer Tasks. Since they are free to reroll at this point, keep getting new tasks until you see a task you can easily do.
  2. When you're roughly level 20-25 in Combat Skills (or 30 from Leveling everything to 30), it's time to switch to Mithril Equipment. Seeing as our
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing
    isn't high enough to craft this, we can get these items from   Mithril Knight.
  3. Continue Farming
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    while leveling your Combat Skills.
  4. You will also need to level your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    .
  5. At this point you should have all 3 Combat Styles available to you. Keep fighting
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    tasks until you reach
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 77
    .
    • At
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 77
      you're set to start
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Volcanic Cave
      , you can find a guide here.
  6. This is where this guide ends. You should have grasped the basics of Combat and Upgrading at this point.
    • Further Guides can be found with each Dungeon. They all have a list of recommended/required Equipment and Skill Levels.
    • The Dungeon Guides have been kept as low as possible on the Requirements and Gear needed.
    • If you want to know what the next objectives are, look at the Next Dungeon guide. This should give you Items and Skill Levels to aim for.
  7. After defeating
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Throne of the Herald
    .
    • Fully max out
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cartography
      if  Atlas of Discovery Expansion is owned. Including Hex Mastery.
    • Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      to Level 120.
      • It is suggested to get
        Error creating thumbnail: File missing
        Crafting
        to Level 115 for   Stamina Pouch to lower interval even further.
    • You will need several Skills at high Levels to be able to build
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      Obstacles.
    • Build your
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Pillar of Expertise
      when available.
