Alpha v0.09
Released: 11 November 2019
Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle!
This update focuses on content for combat with the inclusion of Dungeons, as well as many new items to acquire. Some minor changes to other skills have also been introduced.
For those of you who are wanting more Skilling content/changes, it will be saved for v0.10.
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 contains 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 syncronise by visiting the dropdown menu under your username.
As always, please backup your save before performing any actions as a safeguard.

Alpa v0.08.2
Released: 31 October 2019
Today I am introducing a heavily requested feature, as well as some fixes and changes based on feedback from players.
Melvor Cloud
Welcome to the Cloud!
From the Settings tab, you can access what I like to call the 'Melvor Cloud' - a starting point for exciting things to come.
It has been heavily requested that I add some form of Cloud Saving functionality to the game, and this is the start of that solution.
Upon load you will see a Login / Register page. When you register for an account, your currently loaded save will be syncronised alongside your account creation.
Upon logging in, you will be greeted with two options.
The first is a button that simply links to a text page containing nothing but the currently syncronised save file from the server. Copy / paste this into the import field to load it.
The second option is a syncronise button. Clicking this will overwrite the existing save in the cloud with your currently loaded save.
In its current state, this is a very basic system with a sole purpose to provide a Cloud Save system for your game. There is no auto-syncronise yet, or any other server based functionality. This will come later down the track, please be patient.
Changes
- [NEW] Melvor Cloud has bee introduced.
- [NEW] Equip xAll for Food and Arrows added as an option.
- [FIXED] Fixed an issue with GP value becoming a very large decimal number.
- [FIXED] Woodcutting stats for seconds spent cutting is now displayed correctly.
PLEASE NOTE: I am still investigating a few bugs to do with crafting skills. Hotfixes will be applied when resolved.

A simple, yet fast skill to train.

Released: 9 October 2019
This update focuses on updates to current content within Melvor Idle.
The main focus is on Balance (Except Combat), as well as an array of changes, fixes, optimizations and other QoL inclusions.
I have also added a Patreon link to the sidebar ingame. For those who wish to directly support the development of this game, and receive some benefits along the way, I will 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.
BALANCE CHANGES It was too hard to show all the balance changes here, so I created a Google Sheet showing all the changes.
