Beginners Guide: Difference between revisions

To fight [[monsters]] navigate to the [[combat]] page by selecting any combat skill from the left menu. The combat page contains three tabs containing the locations where [[monsters]] can be fought, above a section for equipment and combat stats. Select browse [[combat areas]], [[slayer areas]], or [[dungeons]] to reveal a menu containing all the relevant locations. Selecting a location will display the enemies which can be found there, along with their Hitpoints, Combat Level, and Attack Type. The "Drops" option will display the [[Monster Loot Tables|possible loot drops]] a monster can give and selecting "Fight" will begin [[combat]]. When [[combat]] begins you will not be able to browse the 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.

Combat skills are levelled by damaging enemies with weapons, and magic. To train a specific combat skill match your Attack Style icon with the relevant combat skill. The available Attack Styles will change depending on the type of weapon you have equipped. Most combat skills have a passive effect even when the relevant style is not selected. Weapons, armour, and [[food]] can be equipped for use by selecting them in the [[Bank]]. Weapons and armour provide various bonuses and penalties to your combat stats, while [[food]] can be used for healing in combat. Upon death a random piece of [[Equipment]] worn will be lost forever, however unique items lost this way like [[Equipment#Capes|Skillcapes]] can be repurchased at the [[Shop]].

[[Magic]] allows you to cast [[Magic#Spells|Spells]] from your Spellbook provided you have the required [[Runecrafting#Runes|Runes]] in your [[Bank]] and a [[Equipment#Magic_5|magic weapon]] equipped. [[Magic]] increases your Accuracy Rating with [[Magic#Spells|Spells]], which increases your chance to hit while using them. [[Magic]] also increases your Magic Evasion Rating, which decreases the likelihood you will be hit by magic wielding enemies.  Higher tiers of [[Equipment#Magic_5|magic weapons]], and some [[Equipment#Magic_2|armours]] require higher [[Magic]] to be equipped.

[[Fishing]] allows you to catch [[Fishing#Fish|raw fish]] which can be [[Cooking|Cooked]] for [[food]]. At level 30+ [[Fishing]] you will find a [[Treasure Chest]] 1% of the time while fishing. The [[Treasure Chest]] will contain an [[Amulet of Fishing]] 1% of the time, which increases your fishing catch rate from 70% to 100%.

Equipment and items with the "Patreon Item (''Username'')" tag are available to all players. Players who have supported the development of Melvor Idle through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patreon Patreon] have had their ideas implemented into the game and the patreon item tag distinguishes which items are player made.

When any skill reaches the maximum level of 99 a [[Shop#Skillcapes|Skillcape]] will become available for purchase from the [[Shop]] for 1000k GP. [[Shop#Skillcapes|Skillcapes]] often have very powerful effects, like giving you [[Mining Skillcape|bonus Coal Ore for every mining action]] or [[Herblore Skillcape|doubling your potion production]].

[[Amulet of Looting]] has a 1.87% [[Spider Chest|drop rate]] from a [[Combat]] Level 157 [[Spider King|boss]] in the [[Spider Forest]] [[Dungeon]]. This amulet allows you to Autoloot, although you likely won't be able to grind the [[Spider King|boss]] that drops it until the mid-game when you are fairly strong.
