V0.11
Alpha v0.11 - Slayer of Hop (17th January 2020)
Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle!
This update introduces two new skills in the game, as well as an assortment of additions, balance changes and bug fixes.
Prayer
Prayer provides players with the benefit of using buffs in combat to gain an advantage over the enemy. Using what's called Prayer Points, obtained by burying bones, you can activate these buffs within the combat screen at any time. There is currently 25 different prayers for you to explore, each unlocked as you level Prayer, as well as having different and sometimes unique benefits. Please make sure to read the tooltip provided so you know exactly how many prayer points you will be using so you do not lose track! Gaining of Prayer Points is as easy as burying the bones you obtain within the bank screen. Regarding Prayer XP - You gain a base of 1 xp per (damage / 10) in combat. To gain further Prayer XP, some prayers provide bonus XP when active. Be sure to read which ones! There is no limit to the amount of Prayer Points you can have.
Slayer
Surprise!
Slayer revolves around defeating specific Monsters within Melvor to gain XP. As you level your Slayer, you will gain access to unique areas, which sometimes contain unique, slayer only items that will provide massive advantageous in combat. With the introduction of Slayer comes a new currency - Slayer Coins. These coins can be obtained by completing Slayer Tasks (Obtained in Combat Screen) which can then be spend accordingly in the new Slayer section of the Shop! As well as the new currency, I have introduced 5 new Slayer Areas. These areas contain new, unique monsters for you to fight against. Some Slayer areas are gated behind a Slayer Level requirement, as well as an item requirement (Where you are required to have a specific item equipped to gain access). There is also unique drops to find within these areas. And trust me, you will want them.
There is two ways gain Slayer XP
- Completing Slayer Tasks (Don't worry, the game won't give you a monster that you cannot kill. However, it is possible to get a monster you cannot access. You will need to requst a new task in this case).
- Monsters located in Slayer Areas always provide some Slayer XP, but not as much as Slayer Tasks.
Combat Number Adjustment
This update also includes a change to the numbers game for Combat. To put it simply; all Hitpoint values, damage values, eating values, and maximum hit values have been multiplied by 10. The reasoning behind this is simply due to a progression standpoint. Playing with larger numbers allows smaller incrementals of progression, that way you can really see how you are progressing through the game. For example, prior to this change, it would take quite some time to go from a maximuim hit of 2 to 3. Now, you can increment through all values of 20 to 30. A simple change, but one I feel was completely necessary.
Statistics Revamp
This update also includes the introduction of Monster Statistics, as well as a revamp to Item Statistics. Under Completion Log Menu, you will now see a Monster tab. Selecting this will show you all the Monsters you have defeated, as well as handy stats relating to that monster (Hover over the monster). The Item Log has also been adjusted to show many many different stats per item (Hover over the item). Most stats for items will only show if you have more than 0 of that stat.
The stats that are tracked for Monsters:
- Times killed by player.
- Times player killed enemy
- Times enemy killed player
- Total damage taken by player
- Total damage dealt to player
- Total successful hits to player
- Total successful hits from player

- Enemies killed with weapon
- Times item lost due to death
