| Another style (called Hardcore No Gathering, or HCNG), allows using some non-combat skills, but none of the gathering-skills. This means they can't use {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Fishing}}, {{Skill|Mining}}, {{Skill|Farming}}, but they can use the resources they gain from killing enemies. As a note, they will not be able to level {{Skill|Firemaking}}, as there is no way to obtain {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} without {{Skill|Woodcutting}}. | | Another style (called Hardcore No Gathering, or HCNG), allows using some non-combat skills, but none of the gathering-skills.

|
| |
| ==Starting out==
| |
| Starting out, it's quite possible you will die many times. Either because of bad luck, or because you forgot to pay attention to the game.
| |
| Before you do anything, get a stack of potatoes by punching plants.
| |
|
| |
| For the first few levels, personally, I recommend using Block, to level up {{Skill|Defence}}. Leveling defence up improves your natural evasion ratings, effectively reducing all enemies' hit chance. I don't enjoy spam-clicking potatoes 300 times a minute. After reaching defence level 15 or so, I will start leveling my {{Skill|Attack}} stat, for a higher chance to hit enemies.
| |
|
| |
| Once I get all melee {{Icon|Combat}} levels up to level 10, at least, I will try to get my first gear.
| |
|
| |
| ===Gaining gear===
| |
| ====Baby clothes====
| |
| {{ItemIcon|Bronze Battleaxe}} and {{ItemIcon|Bronze Shield}} are both dropped from {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}} at {{ZoneIcon|Golbin Village}}. With these, I will go back to grind more potatoes, until I get bored, and believe I am strong enough to get myself some steel gear from the [[Steel Knight]]. A quick note: Any weapon is better than your fists, simply because of the 4s cooldown between attacks with your fists.
| |
|
| |
| Alternatively, you might get a {{ItemIcon|Bronze Dagger}} and potentially an {{ItemIcon|Iron Dagger}} from the {{MonsterIcon|Goo Monster}}, if you're feeling brave.
| |
|
| |
| You will be able to push yourself through the first three knights ({{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight}}, {{MonsterIcon|Black Knight}}, {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}}) quite decently, getting Boots, Platelegs, Platebodies, Helmets, Shields, Swords, and Scimitars. Furthermore, the Black Knight will drop you a {{ItemIcon|Black Dagger}}, but you can ignore the black knight entirely.
| |
|
| |
| If you're having a hard time getting the first shirt and leggings, you can take a pitstop by the {{MonsterIcon|Zombie Hand}} for the {{ItemIcon|Iron Platelegs}}, and just go for the {{MonsterIcon|Zombie}} for {{ItemIcon|Steel Platebody}}. It's much easier to get the shirt from the zombie than from the knight.
| |
|
| |
| ====Some better gear====
| |
| After getting a full set of {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots}}, and possibly a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Sword}} or {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar}}... I will do what I call a Pro Gamer Move, and kill a few {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster|Purple Goo Monsters}} until they give me an {{ItemIcon|Adamant Dagger}}. The benefit of wielding a dagger over a sword is that you will save yourself 0.2s between attacks, allowing you to hoard up even MORE POTATOES.
| |
|
| |
| Also, after getting some Mithril gear, you should try killing an {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}} to get an {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}}, since the drop rate is really high, and it's pretty much on par with the {{ItemIcon|Rune Sword}}.
| |
|
| |
| At this point you should already have figured out you would benefit from the extra +7% Combat XP from the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}}, and the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}} dropped at {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}}. The {{ItemIcon|Gold Topaz Ring}} is kinda meh, for now, since we won't have access to {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} anyway.
| |
|
| |
| After having some decent clothes, a necklace, ring, and weapon... it's time for our next step.
| |
|
| |
| ===Gaining gold===
| |
|
| |
| Okay, so you're sick of being a manual autoclicker, pressing Loot All, equipping potatoes, and munching potatoes for 1001 nights in a row. Okay, so power up an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino Arduino], connect a real life potato to fuel it with energy, and turn it into a potato powered autoclicker instead. Do this until you have enough potatoes to get a million gold, and can buy [[Auto Eat|Auto Eat I]] for 1 000 000 [[Gold Coins]].
| |
|
| |
| Just kidding.
| |
|
| |
| Kill {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}}, loot {{ItemIcon|Leather}}, and get free {{ItemIcon|Bones}} for {{Skill|Prayer}}, experience, and some pennies. Upgrading {{ItemIcon|Leather}} to {{ItemIcon|Green Dragonhide}} increases the profit for each one. Do this until you can afford auto-eat. In my experience, this is the most efficient way to get gold at this stage.
| |
|
| |
| While the efficiency of Auto Eat I might not be the best, you will save yourself a lot manual labour, and can finally get yourself a shower, by consuming your hard-earned potatoes.
| |
|
| |
| ====AE2 and AE3====
| |
|
| |
| While this can (and probably should) wait until later, it's nice to know that in order to farm for [[Auto Eat|Auto Eat 2]] and [[Auto Eat|Auto Eat III]], one should do so at {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}, mainly by collecting {{ItemIcon|Oak Tree Seeds}}. The exact order of priority is the following, which can vary on your bank capacity:
| |
|
| |
| {{ItemIcon|Oak Tree Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Willow Tree Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Maple Tree Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Yew Tree Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Magic Tree Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Compost}} > {{ItemIcon|Sweetcorn Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Tomato Seeds}} > {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds}}.
| |
|
| |
| This takes drop chance, rates, and price into account.
| |
|
| |
| ==Post-AutoEat==
| |
| Okay, so you've seen the doctor, and they cured your [https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/factsheets/arthritis.htm Arthritis], and you can finally return to play Melvor Idle (which wasn't idle until now).
| |
|
| |
| Now, you should do some farming up to combat levels {{Icon|Combat}} 50, or so. At this point, you should consider getting the gear from the {{MonsterIcon|Adamant Knight}}, its gear with {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} "quite easily" farmed at {{MonsterIcon|Statue}}. The drop chance for gold is slightly higher at {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster}}. It's worth noting that it's possible to skip directly to Adamant gear without having a full Mithril set, but do this at your own risk.
| |
|
| |
| You should be ready now to get yourself an {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} from the {{ItemIcon|Spider Chest}} at {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}. While it can vary a bit on your gear, you should have over a grand of {{ItemIcon|Potatoes|Taters}} in your stock, since it will cost you around 500 potatoes per dungeon run.
| |
|
| |
| Note: '''Some people claim you can rush the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} before getting Auto Eat'''.
| |
|
| |
| ==Post-Amulet of Looting==
| |
|
| |
| Okay, so you finally got yourself an Amulet of Looting, and now you can sleep comfortable having your own automated {{ItemIcon|Potatoes|Taterfarm}}.
| |
|
| |
| The next step is to collect the {{MonsterIcon|Rune Knight}} armor (with its upgrades), and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Scimitar}} from the {{MonsterIcon|Seething Horned Elite}}. This should probably last you until you get yourself an {{ItemIcon|Ancient Sword}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}}. They are both useful for different purposes.
| |
|
| |
| ==End-game==
