We're extremely excited to announce our 3rd Major Expansion - Melvor Idle: Into the Abyss.

This expansion provides an incredible amount of new content and mechanics for you to explore. It is a late-game expansion designed to add all content after you defeat Bane in the Impending Darkness dungeon.

[h2]Expansion Details[/h2]
Melvor Idle: Into the Abyss unfolds a new chapter in Melvor Idle, where the defeat of Bane has unforeseen consequences, shaking the very foundation of the game's world. A disruption has caused a massive fracture on the worlds surface, signaling the start of a dire new threat.

Emerging from this chaos is Xon, the Abyssal King, a powerful new antagonist. The defeat of Bane has drawn Xon's attention as he seizes this opportunity to bridge his realm, the Abyssal Realm, with the overworld. His goal is clear: to conquer the overworld using his vast and fearsome armies.

You will find yourself on the frontline of this new conflict, tasked with the monumental challenge of stopping Xon before his dark ambitions come to fruition.

This expansion invites you to embark on a treacherous descent "Into the Abyss," a journey filled with new challenges and mechanics not seen in the base game. As you delve deeper, the stakes get higher, and the challenges become increasingly difficult. Each depth of The Abyss, a new Combat challenge, presents a unique environment and a minion of Xon, each more formidable than the last.

Hey everyone!

We've got a large update on the horizon for the Mod Manager - so large we decided to declare it "Mod Manager v2". The headliner here is the addition of Mod Profiles, a long-awaited feature to easily control what mods are enabled (or none at all) on a per-character basis. The Mod Manager interface has been rewritten and cleaned up to improve the user experience with clearer visuals and more intuitive interactions.

Please note this is due to release next week (hopefully!).

Keep reading on for more in-depth details on what's new.

Mod Profiles
The biggest addition with the new version of the Mod Manager is the concept of Mod Profiles. These profiles allow you to easily control what mods are enabled on a per-character basis.



[h2]Customizing Profiles[/h2]
When you first log into the game a "Default mod profile" will be created automatically based on your current subscribed mods' enabled/disabled state. You can make changes to this profile (including changing the name), create new profiles (up to a maximum of 6), and delete profiles from the My Mods tab in the Mod Manager. In addition, there is a built-in "No mods" profile (all mods are disabled) that cannot be modified and does not count against the 6 profile limit.

[h2]Changes to auto-enabling of Mods when Subscribed to[/h2]
Previously, newly subscribed mods were automatically enabled in the My Mods list. That default behavior is now changing, where newly subscribed mods will need to be enabled per mod profile after being subscribed to. This keeps mod profiles predictable and prevents accidentally enabling unwanted mods on a character that you may only want to use a couple quality-of-life mods on. A mod profile can be set to follow the previous behavior of automatically enabling everything new, via the "Auto-enable new mods" flag in the edit profile menu.

[h2]Loading Into a Character[/h2]
When loading into a character with a mod profile, the save file now contains a copy of the profile that was active when loaded. If a different mod profile is active when the character is selected in the future, you'll be prompted to either reload the game with the previous mod profile active or continue with the new profile instead.

If you import a save or have deleted the mod profile that was last used on the save, you'll have the option to import the mod profile upon selecting the save.

This extra step helps ensure you don't accidentally load into a save with the wrong mod profile active. (A game reload is required when switching mod profiles because mods have to be loaded before character select)





[h2]That Which Is Still Account-Wide[/h2]
A couple Important things to note that are not controlled at the mod profile level:

• Mod subscriptions, as these are tied to your mod.io account. This means unsubscribing from a mod removes it from all profiles as well.
  
• Mod load order, as there isn't much benefit in allowing per-profile load orders.
  

• The Browse tab now has infinite scroll.
  
• Quickly toggle all mods' enabled state in the My Mods more (...) menu.
  
• The mod details panel will now display up to four of the images added to the mod's mod.io profile.
  
• The most recent changelog for a mod is always visible in the mod details planel, regardless of if you're subscribed or not.
  
• Mods without any platform tags are now treated as being available for any platform.
  
• Subscribed mods that are not available on the current platform will now show up in the "My Mods" tab, but still not be installed/loaded. (They also won't be dropped from your load order list anymore!)
  

[h2]Atlas of Discovery[/h2]
[h3]New[/h3]

• "Donate Generic Artefacts" now has a Settings button which will house customisation settings for the mechanic (Added over time)
  
• Added an "All but 1" setting which can be toggled. When enabled, donating Generic Artefacts will always leave 1 remaining in your bank.
  
• The "Show Artefacts" popup will now display if an Artefact is classed as Generic or not, as long as you have located at least one.
  
• The tooltip for Artefacts will now mention if it is classed as a Generic Artefact.
  

• Fixed issue where Barrier amount could go into negatives.
  
• Fixed issue where increased damage reduction with active Prayer modifier was being calculated after all of DR calculations, resulting in higher/lower effects than intended.
  
• Fixed issue where Slayer Relic 1 was granting Slayer Coins regardless of actual poison damage dealt
  
• Fixed issue where some Artefacts were classed as a Generic Artefact when they had a use around the game. For example, items required for Township Tasks.
  

• "Upgrading" a charge stone of Rhaelyx back into a mysterious stone is now classed as a downgrade.
  
• Fixed issue where Township worship tooltip was missing the 2x season multiplier (Visual only)
  

• Fix Summoning Shard quick buy using the new summoning packs instead of individual shards for purchase.
  
• Fixed visual error with the Superior Woodcutting Skillcape name.
  
• Fixed incorrect visual damage reduction calculation for Barrier damage when out of combat.
  

[h2]Preface[/h2]
If you have already obtained 100% completion in Atlas of Discovery, then this update will remove that status as you will be required to obtain the new content to reach completion.

If you currently have the Completion Cape (Atlas of Discovery) equipped, then this will be removed automatically when loading into the update.

If you die upon loading into the update due to an item being automatically unequipped, you will not lose any items on death.

Hey everyone!

Weve been blown away by the support from the community around Atlas of Discovery. Its amazing to see so many players enjoying and participating in the content made available from the expansion. Seeing the discussions around the content on all our social platforms has been a delight to read.

This level of support allows us to continue to create massive expansions that extend the gameplay of Melvor Idle in new and exciting ways, and allows us to explore new mechanics for content.

Over the last few weeks, weve been monitoring all channels of community feedback to see what and if anything needs to be addressed within the expansion that may not be sitting right with players.

What weve seen is that Atlas of Discovery requires quite a lot of adjustments to get it to the point where it becomes a viable choice of content throughout someones 1-99 journey, and it should also provide some use after youre done with it.

This announcement aims to talk about the most prominent pain points weve seen, and what were doing to address the concerns raised by the community.

Preface
This announcement details upcoming changes to Atlas of Discovery. These changes are not yet released, and there is not an exact ETA on when this update will be released.

Well break down this announcement into Barrier, Archaeology and Cartography so you can see what has been changed/added.

Its important to note that every pain point weve seen will not be addressed with this update. It may take a few updates to get right with the communitys help. However, we hope these initial adjustments to Atlas of Discovery are a step in the right direction.

Barrier
This mechanic is by far the largest topic of discussion, and requires the most attention in terms of changes and adjustments to bring it in line with the progression we want to see during someones playthrough.

[h2]Notable Feedback We are Addressing:[/h2]

• Barrier Combat is Unrewarding: It's more beneficial to outlevel the rewards than to invest in upgrading barrier-specific items. This renders the whole barrier combat mechanic redundant as you can simply bypass it for better results.
  
• Barrier Mechanic Feels Bad: With summoning attacks fixed at 3-second intervals, you often deal no damage to the Barrier if accuracy is low. On top of this, Barrier regenerates which makes the fight last much longer.
  
• Overly Grindy Nature of Upgrading: The Barrier combat mechanic requires an excessive grind to upgrade gear effectively, especially when the main item to upgrade (Barrier Gems) only comes from a single source and has limited availability.
  
• Slow Kill Times: Attempting to approach AoD Combat without using TotH gear leads to incredibly slow kill times and very long grinds to obtain upgrades.
  

• Early-Mid game Monsters will no longer have Barrier Regeneration (Eye-conic Cave, Mucky Cave, Tree Overgrowth, Collapsed City, Golem Territory, Unholy Forest)
  
• Every time a Monster regenerates Barrier, they will receive a stacking debuff which applies a slow, and also reduces their Accuracy and Evasion. One stack is applied per regeneration, up to a maximum of 5 stacks.
  
• Monsters with Barrier Regeneration will now display it as a Passive.
  

• Were increasing the drop rates of various high-level Barrier Items.
  
• Monsters with Barrier now drop Barrier Dust on death (like bones). The amount of Barrier Dust dropped scales with the Monsters maximum Barrier value and can also be doubled.
  
• Granite Golem will now drop Imbued Bronze Bars.
  
• Ranged Golem will now drop Imbued Steel Bars
  
• Earth Golem will now drop Imbued Mithril Bars
  
• Magic Golem will now drop Imbued Mithril, Adamantite and Runite Bars.
  
• Golem Chest from Golem Territory will now drop Imbued Bars instead of generic Bars.
  
• Ritual Chest from Cult Grounds will now also drop Imbued Runite & Dragonite Bars
  

• (B) Upgraded God gear will provide a massive increase in Barrier Damage
  
• Each God piece provides +40% Summoning Familiar damage added as extra damage to Barrier (Total of +160%)
  
• Cost to upgrade is the same as Ancient Gear using the base God Item.
  
• Obtainable if you can complete the God Dungeons + Cult Grounds dungeon
  

• As mentioned above, we have more Barrier Dust and Imbued Bar drops around the game. Note Imbued Dragonite Bars are more plentiful as well.
  
• Ritual Chest from Cult Grounds dungeon now also contains Barrier Exalted Shards & Siphoning Barrier Gems.
  

• Summoning XP received per damage to Barrier is increased from 0.45 -> 0.67 per damage dealt.
  

• Reduced Hitpoints Gem: Enemy has -3% Maximum Hitpoints. Obtained from Cult Grounds chest.
  
• Combat Doubling Gem: +3% chance to double items in Combat. Obtained from Unholy Forest chest.
  
• Maximum Hitpoints Gem: +20 Maximum Hipoints. Obtained from Cult Monster.
  
• Slayer Gem: +3% Slayer Coins, +5% Damage dealt to Slayer Task monsters. Obtained from Magic Golem Monster
  
• Dungeon Gem: +5% Damage to Dungeon Monsters. Obtained from Trickery Temple Chest
  
• Combat Gem: +5% Damage to Combat Area Monsters - Obtained from Raging Maple Monster
  

• Theres Too Much Junk - Archaeology has too many items that provide zero use other than to sell. This feels bad and clogs up Bank Space.
  
• Archaeology is Too Slow - The high base interval and lack of interval reduction makes the Skill feel like a slog.
  

• Base Archaeology Interval is being reduced to 4 seconds, down from 5 seconds.
  
• Weve also added a new consumable that further reduces Archaeology interval by -10%.
  

• Enhanced Spyglass Lens: Allows you to upgrade the Old Spyglass to the Enhanced Spyglass, significantly increasing the Survey & Sight Range.
  
• Travel Tokens: -10% Travel Costs in Cartography
  
• Archaeologists Consumable - -10% Archaeology Interval
  
• Dig Site Tokens: +6% Archaeology Skill XP.
  
• Summoners Pack I: Provides 2 Red & 2 Green Summoning Shards using Museum Tokens + GP (50% cheaper than buying Shards directly)
  
• Summoners Pack II: Provides 4 Red, 4 Green, 2 Blue & 2 Silver Summoning Shards using Museum Tokens + GP (50% cheaper than buying Shards directly)
  
• Summoners Pack III: Provides 6 Red, 6 Green, 4 Blue, 4 Silver, 2 Gold & 2 Black Summoning Shards using Museum Tokens + GP (50% cheaper than buying Shards directly)

• Diamond Bolts (Enchanted): Can now be purchased directly from the Shop using Museum Tokens + GP (GP Costs is 4x the sale value of the Bolt)
  

• It's too expensive: The Skill is too expensive for meaningful progression to actually be made in AoD alongside the rest of the game.

• Reduced base travel cost by 50% for hexes up to Level 60 - 99 Cartography requirement.

I'm so happy to announce that our 2nd expansion, Atlas of Discovery, is now available!

If you're thinking about starting fresh, now is a fantastic time to do so! This expansion focuses on adding content from Levels 1-99. If you're brave enough, you could try out the new Ancient Relics Gamemode!

If you're looking to purchase it, or see more information regarding the expansion, you can do so below.

I want to preface this by saying we are always listening to the community. We have for the last 4 years, and that itself won't change.

We've been reading all the feedback on various platforms since the release of v1.2 and have re-evaluated some of the changes we made to the Township Trader boxes.

This update aims to add more Tasks to the base game, bring back Herbs to Herb boxes, and slightly reduce the amount of Tasks required to obtain T2/3 Boxes (allowing you to skip many more tasks you don't enjoy).

The Task requirements themselves will remain, as it is an important requirement to balance the power of the boxes.

We appreciate the feedback we have received on this matter, and will continue to monitor it over the coming days/weeks.

New

• Added 10 new Tasks to the base game, 2 per difficulty up to Elite, increasing the total amount of Tasks available in the base game to 110.
  

• Reminder that there is now a total of 110 tasks in the Base game, up from 100.
  
• Tier 2 Boxes now require 85 Task completions out of 110 total Tasks available to you in the Base Game, down from 95 out of 100 available Tasks.
  
• [TotH only] Tier 3 Boxes now require 110 Task completions out of 130 total Tasks available to you with Throne of the Herald, down from 115 out of 120 available Tasks.
  

• Herb Boxes now provide Herbs again instead of Seeds, up to 75 per box.
  

• Fixed an issue where the building repair cost modifiers were not applying correctly during certain seasons, causing 100% reduced repair cost.
  

UI Adjustments

• Woodcutting will now display all locked trees instead of only the next tree.
  

• Fixed a bug where repair costs for Township buildings were factoring the total building count across all biomes instead of only the biome it resided in. This unintentionally increased repair costs by 2-3x.
  
• Fixed an issue where starting a Golbin Raid would crash the game.
  
• Disabled the CPU/GPU performance setting for steam temporarily until it is stable enough to re-release.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Game Guide and Statistics for expansion skills would display in the base game.
  
• Updated some translations.
  
• Fixed issue where the Clown Hat was missing from the Shop.
  
• Fixed some black progress bar issues in Super Dark mode.
  

A client update has been released for Melvor Idle on Windows.

This client update fixes a memory leak caused during Combat.

We are extremely excited to announce our second major Expansion - Melvor Idle: Atlas of Discovery!

This expansion comes packed with new Skills, a new Gamemode, new Combat encounters, and much more for all stages of the game!

[h2]Melvor Idle: Atlas of Discovery will release on Thursday 7th September 2023[/h2]

Wishlist:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2492940/Melvor_Idle_Atlas_of_Discovery/

Whats Included?

[h2]Cartography - New Non-Combat Skill[/h2]
Our most technical Skill to date.

Cartography focuses on discovery, where you will be greeted with a massive interactive World Map of Melvor. Covered with a blank Hex grid, youll be tasked with surveying the Map and slowly uncovering what lies beneath.

The World Map is similar to something like Google Maps, where you will be able to zoom in/out and pan around the Map of Melvor.

Throughout your journey of training this Skill, you will discover many locations, rewards and bonuses that can be used throughout the game. There are over 100 locations to discover!

Cartography is the heart of this expansion, directly synergising with the 2nd new Skill, as well as being the gateway to unlocking new Combat areas.

Cartography will have a maximum Skill Level of 120 in this expansion.

[h2]Archaeology - New Non-Combat Skill[/h2]
Yep, thats right. Archaeology is making its way in Melvor Idle as an official Skill!

The Grand Museum of Melvor has tasked you to locate and donate all possible Artefacts hidden around the world of Melvor. Artefacts have a variety of uses, including rare and unique equipable items for all stages of the game.

To be able to dig for Artefacts, you must first discover the locations of Dig Sites in Cartography, which youll then be required to create Dig Site Maps to be able to begin your Artefact hunt.

Theres over 160 unique items to locate in Archaeology across 18 Dig Sites.

Archaeology will have a maximum Skill Level of 120 in this expansion.

Important Disclaimer: Archaeology has no relation to the Archaeology Skills submitted for the recent Create a Mod contest.

[h2]Ancient Relics Mode - New Gamemode[/h2]
Our 3rd official Gamemode is making its way to Melvor Idle, known as Ancient Relics Mode.

This is a brand new and unique way to experience Melvor Idle, providing harsh limitations like disabling all preservation & doubling, disabling Cooking & Fishing until late-game, and locking Skill progression behind Dungeon completions.

All Skill will be unlocked from the beginning, but will only have a maximum Skill level of 10. This maximum Skill level can be increased by completing Dungeons.

On top of this, this Gamemode introduces something called Ancient Relics. These are rare powerful permanent modifiers that can be obtained by simply training Skills.

Every Skill in this gamemode has 6 Ancient Relics to discover, each providing additional permanent bonuses that will assist throughout the game.

This Gamemode is not for everyone, as it will require some active gameplay in the form of manually eating to defeat Dungeons.

[h2]New Combat Areas, Slayer Areas and Dungeons[/h2]
Weve also included an array for new Combat areas for you to tackle.

All new areas will either need to be located in Cartography before gaining entry, or will require an item to be located in Archaeology.

In total, there will be:

• 8 new Combat Areas
  
• 3 new Slayer Areas
  
• 5 new Dungeons
  

• 2 New Skills - Cartography and Archaeology
  
• New Gamemode - Ancient Relics Mode
  
• 600+ new Items

Hello everyone!

The Township Rework is almost upon us, so I thought now would be a good time to announce details about the changes, and what you can expect from the updated Skill.

This breakdown has been created to provide as much information as possible around the rework. I'll do my best to breakdown all of the changes so you can get a detailed understanding of what to expect. If I did miss anything, I will include them in the official changelog when the update releases.

The rework is due to release in the next few weeks. This post is for information purposes, and it not an official game update post.

[h2]The Issues[/h2]
Township was one of the most ambitious Skills we had ever created which required 2 separate parts to fully complete. Part 1 was released alongside the Throne of the Herald expansion with Part 2 scheduled for release some time in the future.

Based on the vast community feedback, we came to the conclusion that the Skill in its current state did not suit the core premise of what Melvor Idle is meant to be. It took away from the core experience that we hoped to achieve with the game itself.

Instead of attempting to band-aid fix a lot of the issues that arose, we decided to rework the core mechanics of the Skill instead in hopes to bring it more in line with the game.

We greatly appreciate all the feedback we received since release on this, and I thank your for your patience while we worked behind the scenes to get to this point! One of the many great things about building a community-driven game is the feedback we receive on content like this, and it helps us shape the game for the better.

Whats Changed?
[h2]Removal of the risk of failure[/h2]
The risk of failure was one of the most highlighted points made when discussing the issues around the Skill. The simple fact that a small decision by the player could lead to an entire Town dying, failing and requiring a restart was frustrating. It was extremely demotivating as a mechanic, and after one or two failures it became old very fast.

With the rework, we have removed the risk of failure entirely. It is no longer possible to fail in any way while training the Skill. The core premise of the Skill now is to grow your Town, and only focus on growth. Decisions you make will not impact your Town in a negative way like it did before.

[h2]Transitioning to a Passive Tick System[/h2]
The removal of the risk of failure means that we will be transitioning to a completely passive Town Update system for Township. We have removed the manual tick function of the Skill, and it will now instead progress automatically alongside the game.

A Town Update functions the same way a tick does, enabling your Town to progress in the background without any worry.

Your Town will now update every hour. This period of time will allow you to spend the new resources gained, and provide necessary maintenance to your Town where required (more on this below).

The new Township is balanced in a way where you can check in once or twice a day without worry.

[h3]What happens to my stored ticks?[/h3]
If you still have ticks to spend when the update hits - dont worry! They will still be available to spend within the rework.

Your ticks will automatically convert to a Legacy Tick system where you can spend your ticks as you please until it reaches 0. Once your ticks reach 0, this system will disappear and progress will rely on the new passive Town Update system. It will not be possible to earn ticks to spend in the update.

The amount of ticks you have to spend will also be adjusted based on the new tick length (1 hour). For every 12 ticks you currently have, you will be granted 1 legacy tick to spend. Its important to remember that Township is balanced based on time, not ticks. Spending 1 legacy tick is the equivalent of spending 12 normal ticks in one go.

[h2]Population, Happiness, Education and Health[/h2]
These mechanics have been slightly reworked to fit in with the updated Skill.

Population (Earning Skill XP)

• The XP you earn per Town Update is now equal to your Population.
  
• At Level 99, this can reach around 120,000.
  
• At Level 120, this can reach around 410,000.
  

• This now increases your population by (Happiness)%
  
• Happiness can go over 100%.
  

• This increases your resource production rates by (Education)%.
  
• Education can go over 100%
  

• Your population (after Happiness bonus) is then multiplied by (Health)%.
  
• Health starts at 100%, and goes down by 1% each Town Update.
  
• Spend Potions or Herbs to increase this back to 100%.
  

• Map selection
  
• Biome land, and the purchasing of this land. Everyone will get refunded the total GP spent purchasing land when loading into the update.
  
• Citizen age
  
• Citizen death
  
• Workers and Jobs
  
• Citizens menu
  
• Trader GP limit
  
• Food, coal and clothing usage per tick.

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your patience with us while we waited for translations to be completed for this update. This is the first of what I assume to be many updates to Township.

This update focuses on UI & Balance. We want to get Township to a point where we are okay with the power it provides, as well as what it looks like before we begin exploring concerns around other mechanics.

If you had concerns around the general mechanics of Township, then this update won't resolve that unfortunately. We are already hard at work on Township Update #2 which focuses on the general mechanics. It might take a bit of time until release as we will be doing a lot of play testing to see how it all feels.

Now, let's get into the patch notes.

[h2]Preface[/h2]
For those who use Mods, please be aware that some may break when an update like this is released. While we do our best to not have this happen, some times it cannot be avoided.

If you are having issues loading into the update, try with Mods disabled.

Hey everyone!

As the dust settles on the massive week of releases, I thought it would be a good idea to let you know what were currently working on.

Firstly, Id just like to put out a massive THANK YOU to everyone for the incredible support on the Throne of the Herald expansion. It was a lot of work to put this expansion together, and it took a team of amazing people to make it happen. To see so many people enjoying it as much as they are is something that means a lot to us.

The continued support of this community is what keeps us going. It allows us to continue working on Melvor Idle, and produce more and more content for you to enjoy.

It means a lot to all of us that work on the game, so thank you so much! We are so excited to begin work on Expansion 2 and continue growing the game.

What were working on
With such a large release like this, we have been looking at all feedback provided on all areas of the game. This is something we always do with development,as we take all community feedback seriously to improve Melvor Idle.

[h2]Township[/h2]
There are some obvious flaws that we need to address, so I wanted to provide this update to tell you that we are indeed reading all feedback and starting to make plans to improve these flaws.

I dont have exact details on what we will be doing to fix these flaws, as we need some time to continue reading the feedback and making adjustments accordingly.

Some things we are currently working on though include (Note: This list will change as we continue going through feedback):

• Major adjustments to the UI to make it look more like a game, rather than a 1998 Excel spreadsheet (rip).
  
• Increased clarity around important mechanics, including UI improvements to direct players smoothly during the early stages of the game.
  
• Adjustments to actual mechanics that are of most concern and frustrating for players.
  
• An updated and very much improved Tutorial and onboarding process.
  
• Adjustments to the Task system, while also providing a reason for it to be contained within Township.
  
• Adding more personality to the Skill so it actually looks and feels like a real Town with real People.
  

Our massive Throne of the Herald expansion is now available on all platforms!

This expansion has been in development for quite some time, so we do hope the wait was well worth it! We put a lot of effort into making Melvor Idle even larger, and packed in so much new content for you to explore.

Hey everyone!

As we gear up for the release of Throne of the Herald on 20 October 2022, Id like to inform you on how the release of this expansion will actually work.

The release will be a lot different compared to prior updates, so please read this carefully so you know exactly what to expect.

[h2]Staged Release[/h2]
We will be doing what is called a staged release for the expansion. A staged release means we are releasing the update in two stages, rather than all at once.

It also means that you will be able to play new content sooner than the 20th!

[h2]Stages Guide[/h2]


Stage 1 will be released first on Tuesday, 18 October 2022.

This stage includes:

• The Free Content portion of the expansion release
  
• Township, Official Mod Support, Astrology Rework and other mentioned free additions
  
• QoL updates, balancing, changes and bug fixes to the Base Game
  
• Updated framework of the game in preparation for the Throne of the Herald Release
  

• Throne of the Herald content added and unlocked for those who purchased
  
• The ability to purchase Throne of the Herald DLC is unlocked (No pre-ordering is available)
  

[h2]Melvor Idle: Throne of the Herald will be released on 20th October 2022 on all platforms![/h2]

Wishlist Melvor Idle: Throne of the Herald

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2055140/Melvor_Idle_Throne_of_the_Herald/

Expansion Details Announcement Timeline:

• Part 1 of 5 - Level 120 Non-Combat
  
• Part 2 of 5 - Lore & The Herald
  
• Part 3 of 5 - Level 120 Combat
  
• Part 4 of 5 - Township, Official Mod Support, Astrology Rework & More
  
• Part 5 of 5 - Everything we missed YOU ARE HERE
  

True Completion (Combined completion for the above two categories, and future Expansions)


Each section tracks the progress of their respective categories. For example, Base Game completion will only show you the progress of Base Game content.

This means purchasing the Throne of the Herald expansion will have no effect on your existing progress, as the content contained within is completely separate.

Another great thing about the separation is the ability to choose which progress is visible to you. You can select any of the three categories to be visible in the sidebar and Completion log.

This image example shows Throne of the Herald as the selected Completion category, with the respective percentages updated according to progress in the expansion only.



[h2]Mod Manager Preview[/h2]
For those who were asking, here is a previous of what the in-game Mod Manager looks like.

You can see the Manager is currently populated with some Mods. Our awesome modding community is already hard at work converting existing Mods to the new Mod Support & API!

Main screen and browser window:


My Mods list & load order:


[h2]FAQs[/h2]
Will the Throne of the Herald Expansion have new Skillcapes?
Yes! Every Skill is getting their very own Superior Skillcape at Level 120. These capes are an upgraded version of the Level 99 Cape.

There is also a Superior Max Skillcape for when you reach Level 120 in all Skills!

Will I lose my Max Cape when Township is released?
No, you will not. You get to keep and wear the Max Cape even when Township is level 1.

With the addition of Township, we thought it would be unfair if players lose the ability to wear the Max Cape until they reach Level 99.

The Max Cape will still inherit all Skillcape abilities. However, it wont inherit the Township Skillcapes benefits until Level 99 Township is achieved.

Im 100% completion, will I lose my Cape of Completion?
For this specific cape, the answer is yes.

Those who have reached 100% completion will be required to reach that again when the expansion update drops if you wish to wear that Cape.

It is important to note that you only need to reach 100% Base Game Completion if you do decide to purchase Throne of the Herald. No Throne of the Herald content is required to wear the Cape of Completion.

Astrology - Will we get a refund?
With the Astrology rework, the bonuses provided by your constellations will be reset to 0 (Skill XP, Mastery Level and XP are not affected).

Because of this - you will receive a 100% Stardust and Golden Stardust refund when loading into the update.

What platforms is the Throne of the Herald Expansion releasing on?
It will be released on all Platforms that Melvor Idle is available on at the exact same time.

Will installing Mods disable our Steam achievements?
No, they will not. Achievements will still be active and available to obtain if you use Mods.

Will I need to unlock Township in Adventure Mode?
Due to the nature of the Skill, Township will be unlocked from the beginning in Adventure Mode. There is no need to purchase it and unlock it.

[h3]Conclusion[/h3]
Were getting closer and closer to the release date announcement. Be sure to keep an eye on announcements to be the first to know!

Update v1.0.5
[h2]Introduction[/h2]
Hello everyone!

With 100% of development is focused on the upcoming Expansion 1, I come bringing a small surprise update for everyone to enjoy while you wait.

As a thank you for the support so far on the Cool Rock Plushie sales I have decided to release a new temporary custom gamemode for you all to enjoy.

Were currently at 80% of our funding goal for the Cool Rock Plushies with only under one week to go to reach our sales target! If you would like to help us reach that 100% target, you can do so here: https://shop.makeship.com/3KRnjqa

Nonetheless, even if we dont reach that target, I believe everyone deserves something as a thank you from us to show our appreciation to the community that continues to support us through and through.

[h2]New Temporary Custom Gamemode[/h2]
Say hello to Internal Suffering Speedrun Mode!

Available until: August 31 @ 23: 59:59 GMT

We took the concept of the previous Hardcore Adventure Speedrun Mode and turned it up to 11. The idea here is to bring a fresh take on how the game is played, and really make you think about your next actions moving forward.

This gamemode will test your strategic decision making, forcing you to slowly disable Skills the further you progress. You will need to make the call as to what Skills you can do without, and what will help you defeat the final boss.

And yes, this is super fast again.

So, what exactly does this gamemode entail? Read carefully as there are quite a few important mechanics to keep in mind.

• As usual, the goal is to defeat the final boss as fast as you can.
  
• This is a safe gamemode. No character loss on death.
  
• Uses the Hardcore Combat Triangle.
  
• However, the Combat Triangle has been reversed! This means Melee now beats Magic, Ranged beats Melee, and Magic beats Ranged. Check the numbers inside the small triangle tooltip next to your Max Hit and Damage Reduction numbers to see the exact numbers.
  
• All Skills except Firemaking and Farming are available to you at the start.
  
• Your Skill Level is capped at Level 10. This cap can be increased at any time by permanently disabling any Non-Combat Skill. This can be done from the new menu item in the Sidebar.
  
• For each Skill you disable, not including Firemaking or Farming, the Skill Level cap will increase by 10. This means you need to disable 10 Non-Combat Skills to be able to reach Level 99.
  
• You can continue training Skills when you reach the level cap, you will just earn no further Skill XP.
  
• Accessing the final boss requires Level 99 in all Combat Skills to access.
  

• -80% Attack Intervals for you and the enemies.
  
• -80% Skill Intervals (This now also reduces Thieving stun intervals).
  
• +800% Global Mastery XP.
  
• -2s Monster Respawn Timer.
  

This update introduces a new Save Slot UI to hopefully assist current and future players with their understanding of how the save system in Melvor works.

Our full focus at this stage is on Expansion 1, and progress is looking great! We will have a lot more news to share soon as we delve closer to the release.

New Save Slot UI
There are no functional changes to how the system works, this is just a visual update to provide clarity around the system that is currently present in the game.

You can read about the new Save Slot UI in detail here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1267910/view/3173358927557497208

Note: Your characters are already stored inside a Save Slot (The little number to the left of the save). This is the Save Slot the game will use for this update.

Heres a breakdown of the changes:

• The game will now display all Save Slots available to you, instead of hiding empty ones.
  
• Slightly adjusted the UI of Save Slots to provide clarity around what slot your save is in.
  
• The Settings button has moved to a dropdown menu in the top right corner of each Save Slot.
  
• An empty save slot will now warn you if an existing Cloud save has been detected in that slot.
  
• When attempting to load or import a save, the game will now display exact details of what save will be overwritten in the popup.
  
• You can now delete Cloud Saves from the Settings menu dropdown.
  
• Cloud saves can now be refreshed inside the game by using the new Refresh icon sitting next to the Show Cloud/Local Saves button.
  
• If a save produces an error, it will no longer stop the entire game from loading. Instead it will adjust the UI of the save slot to show the save is corrupted. This will help us debug issues you may run into.
  
• Downloading a save now includes the Date & Time of the download in the filename.
  
• You can now disable the warning popup when attempting to load a save. This setting is not yet localized. I will sort this out ASAP.
  

• Your current gamemode and total level.
  
• What non-combat skill you are training, the action you are performing and the level of that skill.
  
• What Enemy you are fighting, and the area/dungeon you are active in.
  

• Locked Summoning Synergies in the search UI now displays the Marks and Levels required to unlock that Synergy. This is also colour coded: Green = requirement met, Orange = Requirement not met. If you have not found the first Mark yet, the name will display as ???.
  
• When clicking into the Summoning Synergy search from the minibar, it will default to only showing Synergies for that respective Skill.
  
• You can now double click Bones to quickly bury them in the Bank. Only works if the item is not locked.
  
• You can now double click Chests to quickly open them in the Bank.
  
• You can now click the Slayer Task image to see detailed stats, special attacks and passive of that enemy.
  
• Perfect Fish can now be used to create Pig and Wolf Summoning Tablets.
  
• You can now downgrade Perfect Fish into normal Fish at a 1:1 ratio. This is just a temporary addition as I will soon be implementing a feature that allows Agility obstacles that cost normal Fish to accept Perfect Fish as well.
  
• Slightly updated the UI for buttons in Thieving and Artisan skills.
  
• [Mobile only] When selecting a recipe category or item in an Artisan skill, the UI will now automatically scroll to the respective area.
  

• The issue that causes offline progress to get stuck (and produce a timestamp error) will no longer cause the game to become unplayable without a save fix. This doesnt fix the bug itself (which we are still looking into). Please report offline progress issues if you do run into them after this update.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused an error during a cloud save (Cloud save still worked as intended even with this error).
  
• Fixed Pet Log completion number not updating automatically.
  
• Fixed issue where connecting your Mobile Device for push notifications would get stuck on the loading spinner.
  
• When wearing the Bone Necklace, the first item in the Loot container will no longer hold its place.
  
• Quick Buy modal no longer appears under the Cooking recipe selection modal.
  
• During Sell/Move Item mode in the bank, the borders of selected items will no longer be removed when moving items to new tabs or positions.
  
• Modifiers that affect Enemies now function correctly in the Golbin Raid.
  
• Leveling up the Mastery of a Rune in Runecrafting now dynamically updates the UI to show changes.
  
• Adjusted the text on the Render Combat Progress to now mention it disables Non-combat progress bars as well.
  
• Fixed incorrect styling to popup buttons in some circumstances.
  
• You can no longer sell the Basic Magic Wand during the Tutorial (which bricks tutorial progress).
  
• Fixed undefined translation in Thieving Game Guide.
  
• New Adventure Mode characters now correctly start with 100% HP, instead of only 10%.
  
• Fixed issue that breaks the save settings function due to there being an apostrophe present in the character name.
  
• Astrology Mastery token is now named correctly, and now has its description.
  
• Fixed Golbin Raid shop purchases disappearing after 1 purchase.
  
• Fixed visual issues that cause dropdowns to extend above available screen space.
  
• Dragonfire Shield now has its original description restored.
  
• Quick Equip menu now closes when closing the Skilling Minibar on mobile.
  
• Corrupted saves no longer break the game, and instead are isolated to their save slot only.
  
• Fixed incorrect Milestone for Normal Shortbows.
  
• The Bank Sorting method now correctly displays your current sorting method on load.
  
• Fixed typos in some special attacks.
  
• Ragnar Godsword and Terran Godsword now display their correct special attack description.
  
• Adjusted the wording on the 50% Firemaking Mastery checkpoint to correctly reflect the actual mechanic.
  
• Adjusted item description loading for Artisan skills that should hopefully reduce some CPU usage (It used to reload every action, now it only loads once).
  
• Corrected grammar for Ancient Magic locked tooltip.
  
• Fixed incorrect description of the Ranged Game Guide.
  
• The Venom special attack can now miss.
  
• Gems now appear correctly in the bank when searching Gem or Gems.
  

Hey everyone!

Today I bring you information about an update to the Save Slot system in Melvor Idle, due to release in the next week or two.

The existing save slot system in its current state is prone to many issues, particularly with accidentally overwriting saves. This issue became evident during the temporary gamemode where reports were coming through of saves being deleted or overwritten by their new save.

This issue wasnt due to a bug in the game, but more around the lack of clarity as to how the save slot system works and what actually happens when creating/deleting characters. These issues also appear for players who play on Mobile as well as Steam (using the same Cloud account and saves).

These issues are due to bad UI on our part, and we will continue to listen to feedback and adjust where required.

Be sure to join our Discord server where you can provide direct feedback and talk with us: https://discord.gg/melvoridle

[h2]Increasing Clarity[/h2]
This update focuses on the UI of the save slots to ensure everyone is given the opportunity to manage their saves effectively.

Heres how Ive gone about doing this.

[h2]Visual display of Save Slots[/h2]
The game will now display all save slots in front of you, whether they are empty or not. This gives you the freedom to choose where your new characters will save, and will also allow you to see how your saves are set up.



[h2]Existing Cloud Save Detected[/h2]
Creating a new local character when a Cloud Save already exists in that save slot is where most of the accidental overwriting issues stemmed from.

Now, on top of being able to actually choose which save slot to use, the game will also warn you when an existing Cloud Save is detected in that save slot.

It does this in a few ways:

• A warning on the empty save slot itself.
  
• A popup when attempting to create a new character
  
• A popup when attempting to import a character.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks so much to those who tuned in to our Live Stream yesterday. It was amazing to see you all there and being able to finally announce details of Expansion 1 made me so happy!

This is a TL;DR / TL;DW summary of what we discussed on stream.

A YouTube VOD will be available soon to see extra information around what we discussed. I will post a separate new thread here on Reddit when it goes live.

General Expansion Discussion

What is coming in Expansion 1?

• Level 120 Content for all Combat and Non-Combat Skills
  
• Township - New Skill
  
• Official Cross-Platform Mod Support
  

• 7 new Dungeons
  
• 8 new Slayer Areas
  
• 50+ new Monsters
  
• A final boss fight, where the Boss is the only Monster in the Dungeon.
  
• New gear and items at almost every stage of Combat to help prepare for what is ahead. This is not including the insane amount of items from Non-Combat Skills.
  
• Brand new Prayers.
  
• A brand new Spellbook for Spells at Level 100 - 120.
  
• New Curses & Auroras.
  
• 9 new Lore books (Massive expansion to the Story)
  
• All new Slayer Areas and Dungeons follow the story.
  
• 100+ new Special Attacks (Mainly for enemies, but the player gets some as well).
  

• All dungeons except for the Final Boss fight can be idled just like the existing God Dungeons. They will follow the same format as regular Dungeons where you complete it and obtain a Chest of rewards.
  
• Preparation will be required for these dungeons.
  

• New mechanic is being added where a Monster can lower the Damage Reduction of the Player. This will require the Player to find better gear (that we provide) to prepare for future fights.
  
• Enemy HP levels will still scale in a linear fashion.
  
• Damage will also continue to scale in a linear fashion. This will help with increased XP required per level as Damage is responsible for XP.
  
• More unique horizontal scaling items will be added, with new unique special attacks and passive effects to prepare for unique situations.
  

• The entire Level 120 content was designed and developed around a story. You will be able to read about your entire journey to the end of the Expansion. It will detail why youre doing this, and will hopefully provide answers to what is going on in the Melvor world.
  
• Reading the Lore is not required (pls read it)
  

• Every single Non-Combat Skill is also increasing to Level 120.
  
• All Skills will receive content every 1, 2 or 3 Levels.
  
• 500+ new items are being added (Including Combat Items)
  
• Some new mechanics will be explored, creating new Skilling synergies.
  
• Most of the content will stay true to the original Skill mechanics, keeping it simple and easy to Idle.
  
• Items obtained in Non-Combat Skills will directly assist in beating the Combat portion.
  
• You can level up Skills to 120 whenever you want. However, some items created require certain Levels or Dungeon Completion Milestones to equip/use.
  

• One spoiler - Training Astrology provides a small chance to spot a Meteorite falling from the sky. This will then allow you to mine Meteorite Ore within Mining. Meteorite Ore does not have a maximum HP, and you can continue spotting Meteorites in Astrology for as long as you wish. Meteorite Ore does not respawn when depleted in Mining. It can only be located via Astrology.
  
• Brand new Skilling gear, and some new mechanics for Skills that feel lacklustre (Like Firemaking)
  

• Agility is getting 5 more tiers of obstacles that can be added on top of the original 10. This means there will be roughly 20-25 new obstacles that can be built.
  
• Agility is getting another Pillar selection when reaching Level 120.
  
• The Level 99 Pillar will stay active after reaching Level 99. The new Pillar will be an additional bonus on top of the already active Level 99 Pillar.
  
• Summoning is getting 8 new Farmilars.
  
• All non-combat Skills except Farming are getting a new Familiar.
  
• New unique Combat Familiars are on the way.
  
• Over 100 new Synergies will be added.
  

• No. Mastery is not increasing to Level 120. It will remain at the maximum Level of 99.
  
• This will allow you to train to Level 120 while completing your Level 99 Mastery grind.
  
• New Items being added from Level 100 - 120 will have Mastery.
  

• All Skillcapes can be worn when reaching Level 99. They can be worn while training to Level 120.
  
• The Max Cape can be purchased and used when all Skills reach Level 99.
  
• The inclusion of Township does not mean your Max Skillcape is removed. You can keep it.
  
• A decision is still being made as to what is provided at Level 120 for Skills. We cannot confirm this just yet.
  
• We have not decided what is being done with the 100% Completion Cape either. We cannot confirm our plans for this just yet.
  

• Astrology re-rolling mechanics are getting reworked.
  
• The theme and general mechanics of the Skill will remain the same.
  
• We will most likely be removing the RNG aspect from obtaining modifiers, and designing it in a way that allows players to Complete Astrology.
  
• New constellations are also on the way from Level 100 - 120.
  

• Township is a town management simulator integrated into Melvor Idle.
  
• Many resources will need to be managed within Township. This is mainly done passively by your Town.
  
• Township resources stay within Township, they do not go into the Players Bank.
  
• Township is still in heavy development, but it will most likely provide quite few unique bonuses and items to your general game.
  
• A player can use their own resources to assist with Township.
  
• We are looking at a mini Quest system for Township, however this is very much in development and will require a lot of play testing to ensure it suits the Idle nature of the game.
  
• Township is a passive Skill that can be trained alongside any other Skill in the game (Just like Farming).
  

• Township is the largest Skill we have ever created.
  
• It is designed to be expanded upon in the future with a lot more content.
  
• Township has no Mastery to worry about.
  
• Township will integrate a lot into the world building aspect of the Melvor world.
  
• We hope Township will provide players with something to do while training other Skills that respects the Idle nature of the game at the same time.
  

• Township has been broken down into 2 Parts.
  
• Part 1 is the passive Town Management and a way for us to get the fundamental framework correct before proceeding onto Part 2.
  
• Part 2 is the Combat Expansion to Township. Your town is not the only one that exists inside Melvor, so you will need to manage allies and enemies effectively.
  

• Official Cross-Platform Mod Support is coming to Melvor Idle.
  
• Development is led by the creator of Melvor Mod Manager.
  
• Will include an in-built Mod Manager to browser and subscribe to Mods that will synchronise on all devices.
  

• Custom Items, Monsters, Gamemodes, Skills etc.
  
• Custom UI elements
  
• Ability to hook into in-game events and perform certain actions when something occurs inside the game.
  
• Dedicated settings for Mods that provide extra control.
  
• Unified location for all Mods to be discovered.
  

• The Expansion will have a Paid aspect.
  
• The Paid aspect will cost $4.99 USD.
  
• You will only need to purchase it once on a single platform to use it on all other platforms.
  

• Level 120 Content
  

• Township Part 1
  
• Official Mod Support
  
• Any additions or new mechanics to existing content (Up to Level 99).
  
• Any new Quality of Life features added.
  
• All bug fixes and performance improvements.
  

It's April Fools day (in most places)!

Hey all!

These fixes have just been released. Simply restarting the game will apply them for you:

• If the above issue reappears, clicking the eat button again should reset it.
  
• Decreased sensitivity of Hold to Eat to assist with accidental double eating.
  
• Added padding to the bottom of the screen so the new Combat Minibar does not block content.
  
• Fixed bug where the game would heal you for 1HP if your food slot was empty every click.
  
• Also fixed the console error spam from above bug.
  
• Fixed Thieving NPCs not unlocking when levelling up offline.
  
• Fixed Runecrafting bonus Rune modifier giving 0 Runes.
  
• Fixed Fishing Special Chance calculation.
  
• Fixed Fishing text colour not turning green when changed.
  
• Fixed Bear & Salamander Synergy not doubling Silver Bars.
  
• Fixed issue where crafting Cyclops tablets offline would cause the game to freeze.
  
• Minor adjustments to Combat UI Monster Skill Levels to stop buttons moving positions.
  

Note: To receive this update, simply restart the game. Your client does not require an update.
Updates for Melvor Idle become available at the exact same time on platforms (Steam, iOS, Android).

Be sure to join us on Discord for sneak peek and discussions with the developers: https://discord.gg/melvoridle

[h2]Preface[/h2]
This update brings a bunch of much requested quality of life updates, as well as finalizing the transition to the new tick-based system for Skills.

The transition to a tick-based was done over 6 months, and involved rewriting every single Skill from the ground up. Now that it has been completed, this will allow for more efficient updates including efficient implementation of new content.

[h2]A note on upcoming new content[/h2]
Although these latest updates have not introduced anything new for you to try, we can confirm that we have indeed been working on new content behind the scenes at the same time.

There is a massive pipeline of new content on the way, including the much anticipated Expansion 1. This expansion aims to roughly double the amount of content you see in the game, and it has been in planning for quite some time.

Now that the transition to the tick-based system is complete, we can now work efficiently towards Expansion 1 as well as everything in between.

[h2]Update Changelog[/h2]
Lets see whats new inside the February 2022 update.

Hello everyone!

Its already that time of the month where I share some details on what to expect for the February 2022 update.

This update focuses on the Minibars that exist in the game, adding some much requested features and UI elements.

Customisable Skilling Minibar
Since the inclusion of the Skilling Minibar (The UI element with a bunch of icons in the bottom-right of the screen), it has been suggested to add many different items to this area for quick and easy access.

Up until now, the Minibar only contained items that benefit that Skill only with the exception of the Max Skillcape.

Now, this has completely changed and you are now able to select what items are displayed in any Skill. You are now in complete control of the Minibar.

[h2]Quick-Equip Items Menu[/h2]
The items you can quickly equip have now moved into their own little popout menu of the Minibar. This saves much needed real estate on the Minibar, and gives you more room to play with by adding as many items as you want to it.

Example of a customized Quick-Equip Menu for Woodcutting (the Lemon is a placeholder image)



[h2]Adding Custom Items to the Minibar[/h2]
Its very simple to add any item to the Minibar! Simply select an equipable item in your Bank, head on over to the Item Settings (Gear Icon) and you will be greeted with a new Minibar Settings category.

Within here, simply select or deselect what Skills you would like this item to appear on.



[h2]Adjusting the display order of Items[/h2]
Another nifty feature is that the display order of items within the Quick-Equip Menu can be adjusted with ease.

Just like the bank, you can drag and drop items within the Quick-Equip Menu to change the order they display. This display order is saved until you remove that item from the Minibar (In which case it resets).



All new items added to the Minibar default to the bottom of the Quick-Equip Menu.

Updated Combat Minibar
Continuing on from the trend of updating the Minibars, we decided to give some love to the Combat Minibar as well.

The Combat Minibar now comes equipped with more vital information at a glance, which should provide some peace of mind when fighting Enemies without looking at the Combat Page.

New information displayed on the Minibar includes:

• Enemy Attack & HP Bars.
  
• Your own Attack Bar.
  
• Equipment Set Selection
  

• Fishing
  
• Cooking
  
• Runecrafting
  
• Fletching
  
• Crafting
  
• Summoning
  

• Adding a "Destroy Loot" button to Combat at the bottom of the loot container. This is great if you dont want the loot.
  
• "View Item Stats" and "Update Item" popups now contain equipment Special Attack information.
  
• The UI of the Skills & Mastery Completion Log pages are being updated to be more clear and friendly to the eyes.
  
• Many many bug fixes!
  

[h3]Update v1.0.2[/h3]
Please note that updates do not require a Client Update. Simply restart your game for the update to be applied.

If you have Extensions or Scripts enabled, please disable them when loading into a new update just in case they are not compatible with new content. Before reporting them as a bug, please make sure they are disabled and that the bug occurs without Mods active. Thank you in advance :)[h3]New Astrology Icons[/h3]
I forgot the show this during the update Sneak Peek. This update includes a refreshing new look for Astrology with custom Constellation images. Massive thanks to our artist for putting together these amazing images.


[h3]Newly Added:[/h3]

• You can now set custom Icons for each Bank Tab, using the Item Settings to do so.
• You can now see the value of each Bank Tab.
• You can now quickly "Sell All" items within a Bank Tab.
• You can now lock and unlock all Items within a Tab. There is a confirmation popup for this.
• You can now lock and unlock all Items in the entire Bank. Use with caution, but there are confirmation popups to get through just in case.
• New Astrology Icons have been added for each Constellation.

• You can now Pause and Resume Raids.
• Added a difficulty selection to Raid. You can choose from Easy, Medium or Hard.
• Added a new Random Modifier system to Golbin Raid, where you select permanent modifiers prior to beginning the Raid.
• Added over 30 custom items exclusive to the Golbin Raid. These can be added to your selection pool by finding them inside the new Golbin Crate inside the Golbin Raid Shop.
• Remove many useless items from the Passive Item selection pool.

• Herblore
• Woodcutting
• Smithing
• Alt. Magic

• Dragonfire Shield now has an extra bonus: -30% damage taken from Dragonbreath.

• When leveling up Herblore Mastery Offline, it will now automatically start creating the new Tier of potion. This means Potions Tiers will no longer be skipped over during offline training.
• Fixed Ring of Spirit Power obtainable in Golbin Raid, but can't get spirit runes to use it.
• Alt. Magic should no longer stop the action when retuning from an Offline session.
• Smithing Category Selection on Mobile should now be fixed.
• Golbin Raid Coins in Raid History now display correctly.
• Fixed issues where Multi-tree Woodcutting would prevent task switching.
• Fixed display issues for Lethal Toxin, Hinder and Famished Potions in Herblore.
• Fixed grammar issue with Generous Resupply.
• Astrology actions should no longer stop on full Bank, when you have "Ignore Full Bank" enabled.
• Fixed display issues with Herblore Mastery.
• Golbin Raid progress will no longer stop when closing the game. It will be paused instead, allowing you to resume. This will remove the risk of random lost progress.
• Fixed display issues with Woodcutting Axe on the Woodcutting Page.
• Correctled display issues with recipe requirements in Smithing.
• Pressing Escape at the 'Select New Equipment' modal will no longer end a Golbin Raid
• Offline Woodcutting now uses the correct amount of Summoning Tablets.
• Fixed rare case that Woodcuting level ups were not reported during Offline Progress breakdown.
• Item Alchemy III should now produce correct values consistently.
• Fixed missing Secret Stardust Potion image in Herblore.
• Fixed Impending Darkness Event showing up after running from Golbin Raid
• Fixed rare cases where the game would not allow you to continue any action until restarting the game.

Hello everyone!

As we near the release of the January 2022 update, I thought Id share some information around what to expect inside this update.

Lets get straight into it!

Bank Quality of Life
We have included some extra functionality for the Bank that will hopefully improve your experience around organization and management.

[h2]Bank Tab Value & Bank Tab Settings[/h2]
When loading into the update, you will notice a new UI element below your tabs. This contains some information you will appreciate, including the GP value of the tab.

Within the settings menu here, there are some options to assist with organizing your bank. These include:

• Sell all unlocked items in Tab
  
• Unlock all items in Tab
  
• Lock all items in Tab
  

Choose the Tab(s) you wish to apply this item image to.

You can use the same image for any and all tabs as you please. Not sure why you would want to do this, but you can.



[h2]Other Bank Inclusions[/h2]
We have made some minor UI adjustments to clean up the UI a bit with the Bank.

There is also a Unlock All & Lock All setting hidden away if you wish to use these.



Golbin Raid - Stage 3
Were moving into Stage 3 of the Golbin Raid minigame development plan.

This stage includes a bunch of additions, as well as much requested features.

[h2]Pause / Resume Raid[/h2]
You are now able to Pause and Resume your Raid and any given time. Pausing the raid can be done during the Raid, and also during the Item Selection screen.

Upon pausing, the game will store the exact state of your raid and will wait for you to manually resume it from the Golbin Raid Page. You will resume the Raid at the exact moment you paused it.

[h2]Difficulty Selection[/h2]
Theres now 3 ways to participate in the Raid, depending on how dangerous you like to live. These come in the form of Easy, Medium and Hard Golbin Raid difficulties.

Each setting makes the Raid progressively harder, but rewards are increased to make up for that.

Golbins will have increased damage, hitpoints, and extra random modifiers.



[h2]Random Modifiers[/h2]
If you decide to participate in a Medium or Hard Raid, you will be greeted with a new modifier selection screen.

You will be asked to select some Modifiers that will be applied to every Golbin in the Raid, and some that apply to you. These Modifiers are permanent during the raid, and are also randomized. Be sure to read what they do, and select with care.



[h2]Custom Items for the Raid[/h2]
Included in the Raid shop is a new purchase you can make called a Golbin Crate. These can be purchased with Raid Coins.

When a crate is opened, you will unlock a new Raid-exclusive item that is then added to your pool of items to select during future Raids.

There are more than 30 new items to unlock, adding another element of craziness to future Raids.

[h2]Passive Item Selection Pool[/h2]
We have removed the useless items from the Passive Item selection Pool, including Slayer Gear and most of the basic Magic Gear.

This will make the pool of items much healthier, that way rerolling your passive item is not a burden or a waste.

Tick-Based Skills
As promised prior to full release, as well as the December update, we are transitioning all Skills in the game to a tick-based system.

The benefits of a tick-based system means the game will perform actions exactly the same offline as it does online.

Mastery progression and bonuses acquired during an offline session are applied instantly, removing the requirement to log into the game and collect your mastery experience.

In the January 2022 update, these Skills will be transitioned to the new system:

• Herblore
  
• Woodcutting
  
• Smithing
  
• Alt. Magic
  

Herblore is a great example of why a tick-based system is beneficial. No longer will you skip potion tiers while training offline. As progress is calculated offline, you will start creating new tiers of potions at the exact moment they are unlocked.

A lot of existing bugs are also rectified during the transition of Skills. These fixes will be listed in the changelog once the update is released.

The last of the tick-based transition should be completed in the February 2022 update.

Release Date
This update will be released on 31 January 2022.

Conclusion
The aim of these monthly updates is to provide necessary changes to the game, as well as include much requested quality of life updates to aid in the experience.

We are always listening to your suggestions. Expect some more goodness for the February 2022 update!

Speak soon!

Hey everyone!

Its been some time since weve updated you all on whats going on behind the scenes. And with plenty to look forward to over the coming months, weve got a lot to talk about!

A Successful Launch
The full release of Melvor Idle was (in our opinion!) a success. Seeing so many new faces say hello on Discord and Reddit and reading everyones amazing messages has been truly fantastic and the experience of a lifetime. Thank you all so much!

The full launch of Melvor Idle marks a new chapter for the game, and one that weve been planning for quite some time. When new content hit Melvor Idle during Early Access, we previously referred to it as Major Updates. From now on well instead be using the term Expansion.

What does that mean? Read on to find out!

Expansions - What to expect
The planning, care and effort well be putting into these Expansions eclipses anything weve done before - we want to really push the boundaries, both of Melvor Idle and of the idle genre.

The timelines for Expansions will be much longer than we saw for the previous Major Updates, but the wait will be worth it! And the build up to each release will see more teasers, blog posts and excitement than ever before!

Expansion 1 will be MASSIVE, with the inclusion of Level 120 content (for every Skill), a brand new skill, new Lore, loads of quality of life and so much more!

But our lips are sealed for the time being! Well fill you in on more details about Expansion 1 as it continues to evolve

Update Schedule
The increased scope and development time of the Expansions DOESNT mean the updates will stop for Melvor Idle! Work on the game never stops, and improvements will continue to roll out based on community feedback.

Every month well be updating the game with quality of life improvements, bug fixes, performance tweaks, skill balancing and much more. All of this will provide the foundation for a user-friendly game that everyone can enjoy, and changes such as transitioning all skills to a new tick-based system will develop the framework for future Expansions,

The size of these updates will vary, and we cant promise that every fix youre hoping for will always arrive as quickly as you might like. But by pledging to continue regularly improving the game, hopefully that provides the guarantees youre looking for surrounding ongoing support and feedback response. Were here for the long haul!

December 2021 Update - A Sneak Peak
The December 2021 Update will include many requested quality of life features and performance improvements. Heres a look at some (but far from all!) of the things you can expect:

[h2]Default Page on Load - Active Skill[/h2]
One of the most requested features will finally be added! The default page on load setting will now include an Active Skill option.

This is how it works:
