Beginners Guide: Difference between revisions

Before we get started it is recommended that you set up an account with [[Melvor Cloud]]. This provides some basic backups for save files.

The interface is split in three sections.

The bar on the left side of the screen is a menu filled with a list of buttons. There are buttons for every skill, a couple of information pages, your [[Bank]], and a [[Settings]] page. Please take note of the fact that you can scroll in this window.

In the top bar you can see what page you are currently on. You can also see if you are currently logged into [[Melvor Cloud]] on the top right. If you see a letter c in a green oblong you are logged in. If the oblong is red, you are not logged in. You can find a login button in the [[Settings]] window or by clicking on your user name in the top right.

The main section of the screen can be filled with a plethora of content. It can be filled with the [[Bank]], [[Settings]], a [[:Category:Skills|Skill]], or one of the information pages.

{{Main|Reference=Bank}}

The [[Bank]] is where your items are stored. Weapons and armour can be equipped in a menu opened by clicking on the item in the bank. Bank slots can be bought in the shop. You can sell your items with the menu opened by clicking on the item in your inventory.

One of the main aspects of the game is gathering resources with the various gathering skills and then processing those resources into more refined products with the various other skills.

Now that you have caught some fish it is time to cook them. This is done with the cooking skill. When you have opened the cooking window you will notice three columns. The first thing you should do is in the left column select what fish you want to cook. Then in the right column you should light a fire, and finally in the middle column you should select how many you want to cook. Please note that you need logs gathered with the [[Woodcutting]] skill in order to light a cooking fire. The cook 50 and cook all buttons will unlock when you have achieved a higher mastery with the specific food item you are trying to cook.

{{Main|Reference=Combat}}

To fight [[monsters]] navigate to the [[combat]] page by selecting any combat skill from the left menu. The combat page contains a map of Melvor displaying all the available locations where [[monsters]] can be fought. Selecting "Switch Map / List View" will display all the locations on the map in list form, allowing you to easily select your preferred [[combat area]], [[slayer area]], or [[dungeon]]. Selecting an area will display the enemies which can be found there, along with their Hitpoints, Combat Level, and Attack Type. Highlighting an enemy will display their [[Monster Loot Tables|possible loot drops]] and selecting an enemy will begin [[combat]]. When [[combat]] begins you will not be able to browse the map and location list until you run or die. Enemies are fought automatically, however any items enemies drop upon death must be looted manually by selecting "Loot All" or the item itself.

[[Herblore]] is used to Brew Potions. A single Potion has many Charges and can be equipped to the Potion slot available for each Skill, which is accessed from the top right of your screen. Once the Charges from a single Potion have been consumed, a new one can be used automatically if "Auto re-use potion" has been enabled in the [[Settings]] Menu. [[Bird Nest Potion I|Bird Nest Potions]] are useful in the early game when levelling [[Woodcutting]] for extra Seeds or GP.
