Introduction

This page presents one of the ways to start your Melvor journey. Note that this advice predominantly applies to the Standard and

Hardcore

Game Modes, for Adventure the skill unlock orders described in Adventure/Guide are likely to be more suitable.

The goal of the provided steps is to make your overall progress to 100% completion as fast as possible. However, it is unknown whether this approach is the fastest one, so feel free to diverge from it if you want to.

This page is a wiki version of the following reddit post.

Steps

  1. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
    up to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ameria
    and get Ameria to 80 mastery.
    That will give you access to 3 basic astrology bonuses and 2 unique bonuses. Use the dust you got from leveling Astrology to roll some
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    bonuses in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ameria
    .
    In Standard Modifiers, aim for at least 5% total Fishing XP bonus. In Unique Modifiers, aim for at least 5% Special Chance increase or 3% Interval Reduction otherwise.

  2. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    . Do it until you get both the skill and mastery rings. You will probably hit
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 99
    by the time it happens. Keep Diamonds. Sell anything else. Now it shouldn't be an issue to spend money on any of the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing Rods
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Multi-Tree
    upgrade, and so on.
  3. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
    further. Equip the mastery ring and level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Deedree
    to 80 or 99 mastery. In
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ameria
    , roll for some
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Firemaking
    bonuses.

  4. Level
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Woodcutting
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Firemaking
    . Our goal is
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 99
    for the Skillcape. As soon as you get Redwood Logs, save all of them. Only burn Yew Logs to get Firemaking to 99. Skip Magic Logs. This means
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    double axe-ing
    Redwood and Yew.
    • Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Summoning
      . Make a bunch of
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Ents
      for your woodcutting. Try to always have Ents going. You will get more wood and, more importantly, level summoning.
    • Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Farming
      . Open your birds nests. Start farming. Keep Strawberry Seeds for thieving potions. Keep Watermelons for
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      .
    • Level
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Agility
      . Second obstacle has a Firemaking bonus, and a third one has a wood/fire bonus. Definitely get these as you get to
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 30
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 30
      for the requirements.

  5. Back to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology
    . Level it to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 99
    .


At this point, you have an 8% skill ring, a 5% skill cape, and a bunch of other bonuses. Jump back to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology

to roll on bonuses with what you're working on.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mining

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Smithing

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fletching

would probably be next for the Dragon Javelin money-making method, which is one of the best in the game. That's where you will use your saved Redwood Logs.
