Skills in Melvor Idle often follow a natural progression order, you need {{Skill|Mining}} to get [[Mining#Ores|ore]] for {{Skill|Smithing}}, which allows you to make armour and weapons for {{Icon|Combat}}. Deciding which skill to level first becomes a more intuitive choice once you understand which items are needed for your chosen goal. Typically players will choose to level {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Mining}}, or {{Skill|Fishing}} first, because they are a great starting point for several progression routes and also have efficient [[Money Making]] strategies associated with them.

If your goal is to prepare yourself for {{Icon|Combat}} you'll probably want some [[Equipment]] and [[food]]. You can find equipment while fighting [[monsters]], however it's slow going to begin [[Combat]] without any [[Equipment#Weapons|weapons]] or [[Equipment#Helmets|armour]]. First, you'll need to do some [[Mining]] to collect [[Mining#Ores|ore]], once you have some [[Mining#Ores|ore]] you can move onto [[Smithing]], using the [[Mining#Ores|ore]] you just collected to make weapons and armour. Now that you have some basic armour and weapons, you can equip them from the [[Bank]] and start fighting [[Monsters]].  

Without [[food]] you'll only be able to fight for short periods, before having to wait for your health to regenerate naturally. [[Food]] allows you to heal during [[Combat]], so you can keep fighting without the need to take breaks. You can get [[food]] through {{Skill|Cooking}}, which requires {{Skill|Fishing}} and some {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, or through {{Skill|Farming}}, which requires [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] found through {{Skill|Thieving}} in the early game. To use [[Cooking]] for [[food]], you'll need to do some [[Fishing]] to catch raw fish, then cut a few logs with [[Woodcutting]] to light a fire with [[Cooking]] to turn the raw fish into edible [[food]]. Now you have some [[food]] which you can equip from the [[Bank]] and along with your other equipment, you're properly prepared for [[Combat]].
