Money Making
There are many different ways to make money in Melvor Idle, below are some methods that provide the highest rates of GP gain.
On the right from each method, there is information for which version of the game this method was checked. The results may vary in the most recent patch.
For the game version 1.0, the methods below are still viable and have roughly the same power. That means that the most profitable method remains on top, but it could yield a different amount of money compared to what is written there.
Beginners are advised to start with the Fishing method because it doesn't require any additional skills to level, gives viable GP yields, and is the only source of 
Ancient Ring of Mastery and 
Ancient Ring of Skills that are very helpful in the long run.

+25% Resource Preservation |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility Obstacles providing Resource Preservation

The mining-related boosts for crafting 
Headless Bolts will be acquired naturally. The 
Perfect Swing Potion IV will not affect the result much.
Method
- Thieve from the Error creating thumbnail: File missingPrincess. When you get a sizeable amount of
Jadestones, proceed to the next step. - Mine
Iron Ore, Get 
Iron Bars through Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlt. Magic orError creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing, Forge Headless Bolts with Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing, - Fletch Jadestone Bolts from Jadestones,
- Sell common drops. Use Error creating thumbnail: File missingItem Alchemy III on the drops worth more than 15,000
. - Get 24,740,000 per hour on average.
Thieving is not better than the 
Dragon Javelins method by default.
Both methods heavily depend on the buffs from items, passives, and skills.
The most important boosts to get this method even started are all buffs to Stealth and Thieving Interval Reductions.
Once this is survivable, the next important one is the
+
synergy to increase the number of Jadestones gathered.
Also high resource preservation and Item doubling during Fletching is very beneficial. Using Crown of Rhaelyx and its Charge Stones is strongly recommended here.
Without most of the buffs, the thieving gains can be as low as 4,000,000 per hour.

Method
Equip Fishing gear and fish for Magic Fish. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. Fishing is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.
Alternative Fish
Players who do not yet have level 80 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

Method
This method is recommended to use if you play 
Adventure and there's no better money-making method at hand.
- Buy Gem Gloves,
- Mine Adamantite Ore or anything below it until you unlock it,
- Sell gems and ores that you got.
The method relies on the Gem Gloves that increase the gems drop chance to 100% when mining anything but the 
Rune Essence. The average value of a Gem is 381.25, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only 250. Thus 131.25 of profit is earned per mining action from gems.
With the
and
, you will get around 470,000 per hour.
A fully juiced setup with the Dragonite Ore will give around 1,350,000 per hour.
Please note that this setup already includes the
which is unlocked after beating the
. This upgrade is quite essential to reach GP rates this high. Players at this point have probably already better money making methods at hand. Without the
upgrade and only 
Perfect Swing Potion III the GP rate already drops to 787,000.
The calculation does not include any
modifiers.

For each hour of Fletching you'll need to spend (on average):
- 00:01s mining Rune Essence
- 00:11.5s mining Dragonite Ore
- 00:23s mining Runite Ore
- 00:27s runecrafting Spirit Rune
- 01:04s runecrafting Lava Rune
- 01:21s Superheat IV'ing Dragonite Bar
- 37:16s Woodcutting Redwood Logs and Yew Logs
- 09:38s Smithing Dragon Javelin Heads
and it'll generate 50,297 Dragon Javelins, selling for 32,693,142 GP and leave as byproducts:
- 8.09
Mastery Token (Fletching) - 2.60
Mastery Token (Smithing) - 0.70
Mastery Token (Woodcutting) - 0.02

and consume:
- 2.57 Charge Stone of Rhaelyx
- 0.08 Mining Gloves
- 0.39 Perfect Swing Potion IV
- 0.64 Elemental Potion IV
It is recommended to combine Circlet of Rhaelyx and Jewel of Rhaelyx into Crowns of Rhaelyx and selling them using Item Alchemy III and GP boosting items, this will add (per hour of fletching) 0.02 seconds to sell crowns and 0.04 seconds to sell the leftover Jewels of Rhaelyx, with the profit from that and selling the other leftover elements normally you'll end up with a maximum possible output of 18,265,154 GP per hour all things considered.

- Making diamonds into Diamond Luck Potions with the Herblore Skillcape more than doubles their value. This requires:
- Aorpheats Signet Ring for a 10% chance to double ore, bar, platebody, and potion gains
- Perfect Swing Potions to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.
- Increasing Mastery Level of items provide additional resource-saving and doubling benefits.
Method
- Gather Dragonite Ore, Runite Ore and Coal Ore in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the Mining Skillcape. Depending on Mastery Levels and whether or not Diamond Luck Potions are being made, either Gem Gloves or Mining Gloves should be worn.
- Make Dragonite Bars while wearing the Smithing Skillcape.
- Make Dragon Platebodies
- Make the diamonds into Diamond Luck Potions with the Herblore Skillcape if possible.
- Sell the Gems, Diamond Luck Potions and Dragon Platebodies for profit
GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery
The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make Perfect Swing Potions has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the Barrentoe Herbs for creating Diamond Luck Potions is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

- (Optional) Aorpheats Signet Ring
- (Optional) Skilled Fletching Potion IV
Method
By utilizing the output doubling of the Fletching Skillcape, the value of magic logs can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using Skilled Fletching Potion IV and Aorpheats Signet Ring. To calculate the maximum GP per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:
- Cut yew logs and magic logs simultaneously while wearing the Woodcutting Skillcape. The yew logs should be sold.
- Fletch the magic logs into Magic Longbow (u) while wearing the Fletching Skillcape.
- Purchase bowstrings from the Shop and fletch the unstrung bows into Magic Longbow.
- Sell the longbows for profit.
Without using Aorpheats Signet Ring and Skilled Fletching Potion IV profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.

Combat
Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game.
is the most profitable, but it can differ based on the gear and skills in your possession. In general, you need a best-in-slot setup of Melee or
and have 99 in relevant combat skills to be on par with level 85 Magic in God Armor. The exact rates are difficult to determine, but the best targets are as follows:
, 
Master Farmers, 
Black Dragons.
The two items that make this method good are 
Chapeau Noir and Aorpheat's Signet Ring.
Calculating the specific GP/hr depends on your stats and gear. The Combat Simulator in Scripting and Extensions can help you to calculate the gains for your build.
One of the most profitable dungeons is the
because it drops a lot of pure GP that gets doubled with the Aorpheat's Signet Ring. The pure GP gain with the ring is 250,000 per clear.
It also drops the 
Infernal Cape and the 
Infernal Core that will net you 402,400 additional GP per clear if sold with Item Alchemy III.
For one clear
