** Here the player finishes any achievements that haven't been mopped up yet, with the goal of filling the completion log with anything that hasn't been worth the time. This step's length is variable, as it depends on how much has already been completed, and how optimal/lucky the player is finishing up. Prepare to spend multiple days hunting for an item you'll never actually use!

The guide will start with an overview on how combat works, the stats, and what items affect them. After that, it describes in detail the leveling up to the first challenging dungeon of the game, the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}. It will cover the God Dungeons and conclude with guidance for late game content. Remember that the majority of things mentioned here are ''recommendations'' and are not always required or the most optimal, if you don't want to do something, you probably don't have to.

Melvor Idle is not competitive, so it is recommended to set goals that you personally want and work towards them. The game will take a very long time to complete, so anything you can do to make it more fun for YOU is hugely recommended; using a weapon that you personally think is cool or useful, or not using an item because the grind isn't fun is perfectly acceptable and makes the game more interesting!
