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
Farming

areas have been perished. Locals are baffled by this event. Nobody can explain how this occurred.
