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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Prayer

provides players with the benefit of using buffs in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Combat

screen at any time. There are currently 25 different prayers for you to explore, each unlocked as you level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Prayer

XP - You gain a base of 1 XP per (damage / 10) in combat. To gain further

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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!

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

revolves around defeating specific Monsters within Melvor to gain XP. As you level your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

, you will gain access to unique areas, which sometimes contain unique,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

only items that will provide massive advantages in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Combat

. With the introduction of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

comes a new currency -

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer Coins

. These coins can be obtained by completing Slayer Tasks (Obtained in Combat Screen) which can then be spend accordingly in the new

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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 are two ways gain

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

XP:

1. 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 request a new task in this case).
2. Monsters located in Slayer Areas always provide some
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Slayer XP, but not as much as Slayer Tasks.

Combat Number Adjustment

This update also includes a change to the numbers game for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Combat

. To put it simply; all

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

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 increments 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 maximum 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 the 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
• Total attacks to player that missed
• Total player attacks dodged
• Total times seen monster
• Total times player ran away from monster

The stats that are tracked for Items:

• Times received
• Times sold
• Total GP gained from selling
• Total damage dealt with weapon & quiver (if Ranged)
• Total attacks performed with weapon & quiver (if Ranged)
• Total missed attacks with weapon & quiver (if Ranged)
• Total damage taken with item equipped (does not count for weapons or arrows)
• Enemies killed with weapon
• Times item lost due to death
• Total amount of arrows / runes used in combat (if you preserve an arrow or rune, it does not add to the count)
• Times food has been eaten
• Total health gained by eating the food
• Total time waiting for seed to grow
• Total times seed has died during growth
• Total successful grows
• Total amount of item harvested
• Times opened (chests and bird nests)
