- Here we go. Five tips that should apply to pretty much any version of this game. Sure some bits may change here and there, but I think the overall list will hold up well. Time stamps are below to jump around.
Tip 1 "Combat Triangle" - • 5 Things I Wish I Knew...
Tip 2 "Enter FTW" - • 5 Things I Wish I Knew...
Tip 3 "Locking Things Down" - • 5 Things I Wish I Knew...
Tip 4 "Mastering Masteries" - • 5 Things I Wish I Knew...
Tip 5 "Making Money" - • 5 Things I Wish I Knew...
Learned some useful stuff, thanks bossman. I downloaded this game a long while ago since I've been a long time runescape player and a cooking channel I watch mentioned it and I knew it was something I'd be into, I've essentially maxed all noncombat skills (except summoning) and just recently started training my combat skills for the first time. I subscribed and look forward to watching both your older uploads and the videos to come :)
Happy to help! Haven't played RS myself, but have heard how close this is to that so maybe I'll check it out some day.
@@Ken_Cikas Id recommend trying out ironman mode if you ever do, and thanks for the great guide
Hardcore or something else?
@@Ken_Cikas Not OP, but hardcore ironman is just like regular ironman except you downgrade to regular ironman the first time you die. If you have friends to play with, Group Ironman can be really fun, and Ultimate Ironman is a very large challenge. I'd personally recommend Hardcore just to see how far you can go without dying, and after that it's a great gamemode that makes you actually play the game. Main accounts are fine too, but the whole game revolves around making money and spending it for gear upgrades, working on skills, etc. It's a very different gameplay loop. Hope that helps
Melvor is a game produced of the concept of runescape actually. Somethings are differently however seeing as I've played runescape for years I would go to say this is like and version of Runescape. I downloaded melvor about.. 3 months ago and have 4 99s and i believe about 3 or 4 in the low 90s. I like that you mentioned the XP Pool. I had to figure that part out on my own and I am happy you shared that so others can get faster completions. This was a really well made video props bossman!
Man.. I wish I would've seen this a few days ago before I dumped like 50+ hours into mining because it looked great for money xD. A quick google search of fish prices would've had me jumping ship right away.
Late reply so apologies, but didn't get an alert for whatever reason. Mining is solid for making money and you'll have the level built up anyway :) Toss on the gem gloves and sell whatever gems you get and it does well. Fishing does some work though lol
Late game smithing is great money
Tis game is so fun, started playing it coz it looked very relaxed, but didn't think there was so much content and depth to it, thx for vids always learn something new
Yea you'll be busy with Melvor for a while, enjoy!
thanks for the mastery tip, i didn't even know about the "view checkpoints" thing. i've been wasting mastery haha
Lol...been there done that
Ha! I knew this mastery thingy was more complex than it appears to be. So glad I found your videos!!!
Glad to help!
Excellent content my man. I shall be watching more of your channel as I progress through this game myself.
Thanks! There is both a hardcore and adventure series depending on what your playing
Heyo! Just wanna stopped by and say you’re voice is awesome and thanks for the guide!
Thanks! Glad to hear it was helpful
The hold down to eat is a game changer thank you sir! Fire cape obtained !
Congrats!
18:11 “3m isn’t anything to bark at…” *BARKS*
heh...its amazing how quickly things change :)
@@Ken_Cikas I'm glad you saw the humour in my comment!! I laughed for several minutes, hah hah.. Great way to start my day! Love ur content man, keep it up
Thanks!
Timestamps:
0:22 Memorize the Combat Triangle (melee > ranged > magic > melee) and adjust your combat style according to the enemy type
3:13 Click the FOOD button then hold ENTER to manually "auto-heal" without waiting for your HP to drop to near-death
5:24 LOCK items in your bank to avoid accidentally selling them
8:12 Skill XP vs Mastery XP vs Mastery Pool: non-combat skills have THREE different XP bars, learn what each one means and how to build up each one.
(Mastery Pool can be spent to upgrade any SINGLE skill. Mastery XP for each skill can unlock bonuses at certain levels. Leveling up skills adds into the Mastery Pool.)
14:42 Early money farming via mining (with gem gloves), woodcutting, fishing, thieving (with agility), farming (barrentoe)
18:40 Advanced money-making by combining & leveling up a few skills
Thanks for your guide there were some good tips that I hadn’t considered.
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
Who came here because it became free on epic
Me right Now got pinged
Hehe

Selling Gold bars is actually great for first starting out from my experience so far
Gold bars is a good money maker early, but they can also be saved to upgrade equipment so its kind of a toss up
Just started up and this guide is perfect. Much appreciated 👍
Thanks!
I'm a 25 year old gamer and I'm learning and enjoying your videos, good to see all ages groups coming together to enjoy games!
lol thanks!
imagine Ken waking up today like HOLY SHIT BOYS I'M FAMOUS
I will not be playing personally, because my brain is pea size. but GG epic, way to change the algo!
Lol definitely a surprise
Aight... after 1 year of avoiding this game... I'll finally give it a shot. Gotta watch several guides on this and see what'll happen.
You'll have a nice side game to look forward to every day lol
Started playing the game since epic gifted it. I was very confused about the mastery stuff, this cleared my doubt and learned some other tips. Thank you 😄
No problem!
I made all my early game money selling Gold bars making well over couple million over night few hours of mining gold ore than few hours smelting bars. This also really propelled my gear above my combat level and made fighting easier. :)
And they keep adding money makers to the game lol. I should probably redo this video at some point because the game has drastically changed since then
selling gold and silver ores are actually s good source of start up money
Yea mining, fishing and woodcutting are all good early
@@Ken_Cikas sorry i said ore i meant bars
i just got this game today and this video helped me a ton thanks for making it! i'm playing in adventure mode i guess i like to challange myself
Thanks! Have fun, this game is a blast to play
My additional tip would be to Train Astrology when going offline. Astrology buffs make training other skills faster.
That's an older video. Think it's from before full release too so a few skills are missing. I really need to update those old videos...
this was really good, thanks alot
Thanks!
With Superheat IV you don't have to use coal, so it can be good to make the most coal heavy bars, but it is also very lategame, to the point that it often hardly mathers, if you use the cape combos of miner/bsmith
Yea it's a nice perk but it is so late it's hardly worth it. Then again, hardcore combat only may utilize it?
@@Ken_Cikas Combat Only rules can't use Superheat because Superheat requires you to have the smithing level to be able to make the bar normally.
Cross that off the list then lol
Superheat II is also amazing starting out. It cuts your coal requirement in half and you save time because you don't have to smith. It gets even faster when you unlock lava rune because you runecraft for less turns. Great companion to making javelins.
Thank you so much for the video, I just downloaded and this was very nice to have :)
You are very welcome!
Got hooked on the free version, upgraded to full plus first expansion and holy hell what is this. There is so much stuff and it all feeds into the other thing... At least I'm starting with level 80 woodcutting and firemaking plus level 50 farming...
Yea there is a ton of crossover
Thank you.
You're welcome!
thank you. This will help for me
Thanks!
Appreciate the tips mate
You are welcome!
I recently finished township in the base game (except townhall and trading halls) and was wondering whether the townhall is worth the investment. The only info's I found about that topic were on reddit giving contradicting advice.
I know it's a bit of topic, but I didn't know where else to ask.
Very much worth it. Expensive investment but prints gold after a while
Tendrás una guía de la habilidad de municipio? En español?
I have some Township videos but I think they are all old and from before the rework. Let me see what I can come up with
I made it 14 minutes into this video about 4 days ago and then I decided to download the game on my phone and realised you had to get premium to unlock everything so spent like 30 minutes figuring out the best way to buy it so I could link accounts, ended up buying it on Steam and now I've had it open ever since. Haven't really used mobile, tried it last night but the ui is horrible imo. Anyway here we are, back again to actually absorb the information this time.
Welcome and enjoy! Mobile is what I use for typical stuff all day like checking the non combat stuff or checking lightweight combat. Anything serious I'm either on Steam or the web version.
@@Ken_CikasYep, the Steam version seems nicely polished to me. Really enjoying it. I saw on another one of your videos you were discussing in the comments about combat and melee being comparatively bad. I am a melee dps player in mmo's so I just gravitated toward it and haven't worked on ranged or magic at all (attack is 25). Should I stop doing the melee thing and start working on magic?
Yea don't make the mistake I did when starting out. The various combat styles are not a choice like you'd expect from other RPG type games. You'll need them all eventually, but melee can get you to the end game. I'd just tinker around with it all and see what you like. There is a combat triangle of rock paper scissors that you'll want to memorize with each of the combat styles being good against another and worse against another. Melee is weak to magic but strong to ranged for instance.
@@Ken_Cikas Sounds good, I heard you mention the triangle never really payed attention to the little triangle on the combat page before. Appreciate the help
I was trying to justify spending the money to buy the steam version when I can just play it on my phone and browser. I do want the Herald dlc so that's the only thing that's different but let's be honest Im still having fun on vanilla.
If you do grab the Steam version it includes mobile and web too I believe
Hey, I just wanted to know if it costs money for this full game. I tried mobile and it was great but then it said I needed to pay $10 for the full version. Just wondering if it’s the same case with pc
I think the web version is free still. Mobile used to be ad or ad free for a price and Steam has a cost but it's all different since I bought in. Whatever I have let's me use any client but I think I'm grandfathered in.
@@Ken_Cikas ok I will try the web version thanks!
thank you
clear & informative, great video!
Thanks!
Ragnar Godsword is great with the Blade of Echos Ring but the ring is very hard to craft
Yea I'll be trying those out more in adventure. Mix things up a bit from standard. Mostly used claw there so I can have a shield
Man, I was playing this game all wrong haha.
lol
How about an item/weapon tier list for each spec my man? Would love to see that.
Will see what I can do
Super cute boy and helpful video. Whats not to love? 😊
Thanks!
Do you play os or rs3 bro kinda cool to see someone in an older age genre than me playing this stuff keep up the content. I'm just curious because alot of this is pretty common knowledge in those games In the sense that melle>ranged>magic type of combat
Never actually played RS myself and this is my first idle game. I've heard this was pretty much copy paste of RS mechanics
@@Ken_Cikas I kind of think of it as playing runescape with bots because of the "idle" aspect of it. You should try out oldschool or rs3. Rs3 has a different combat mechanic system so I'd say os is more like melvor. Its got the exact same mechanics its just in a 3d world.
Yea I'd like to check it out some day...Steam library is uh, how you say, backlogged though lol
ty so much
No prob!
Just curious as to when you think a base player should upgrade to the expansion. I’m level 47, mainly been mining/smithing for cash but I’ve almost got full rune. Game seems fun for now but $14 seems to be a lot for an idle game. Is there any chance of multiplayer in the future? I think I’d be more incentivized to buy the whole game if that was the case. Cheers
The expansion can be added at any time and a decent chunk can be used in the base game. Combat gear and areas are locked out until you beat the base game though. Won't be any multiplayer but I think someone tossed out a trading mod.
i havent played this game for over an year, i wish i found this video earlier
Fire it back up if you haven't already. A lot has changed in that year.
Gem gloves for me are 500k. How come you have shop discounts?
Its a thieving perk from getting a merchant scroll from the merchant at around 45 thieving. It takes awhile to get it sometimes. Just make sure youve got food, thieving glove charges, and autoeat strong enough to survive a hit and you can get it while you sleep hopefully
You know, I'd completely forgotten about the discount thing.
@@darrellvillegas5123 Nice thanks! Might have to unlock Thieving next. I'm playing on adventure mode atm.
@@Ken_Cikas It seems really good. I'll go for it soon I think. :D
And as I say I don't delete things I accidentally deleted one in the held for review section...rookie move there
I just waited to get to Mithril mines and waited a day cause I had to sleep and I had 120k gp and like 10 of each type of gem so i got gem glove I came back and i had like 1k gems it’s op
Decent money for sure
This game is based off of RuneScape if you have ever played RuneScape before you know all you need
What is the reason for running multiple characters?
Different game modes. Right now just standard and hardcore but I have had an adventure one and then multiples when speedruns go up
@@Ken_Cikas ah, gotcha! Thanks!
Can you make a guide for the fire dungeon
I would highly recommend the wiki page. Green W in the game takes you there. I may do a dungeon guide at some point, but all I'd really be doing is following that so easier to just point to it
i cant find any gameplay all i see is people in this menu
Got to click buttons
What buttons@@Ken_Cikas
i fished magic fish at 99 with the cape and max mastery for 10 mins and made 100k. farm magic fish for money
Yea fishing the higher end stuff makes decent money. Good early game $'s.
i suggest using the semi mod if you're using mods since its extremely helpful
Just vanilla for me right now
"Attack, Strength, and Defence are all melee"
Defence is used in all Melee, Ranged, and Magic, and can also be trained with all styles.
This is odd. Was this made by Jagex? Because this is virtually idle RuneScape.
Sort of? The developer really like RS I guess and decided to make this or something along those lines and recently partnered with Jagex.
it is by jagex im pretty sure.
Published by them now. Been playing since just after it hit early access on Steam and Jagex never came into the picture until just before 1.0 hit. Then their name was all over it
Is there any kind of pvp??
Nah its SP only. Mod support may bring bring it but the devs have said no official multi
Did you never play runescape?
I hadn't up until very recently
@@Ken_Cikas aah. Ive played it since 06 so most of these concepts are in my blood
Games for people who couldn’t make it in RuneScape lol
Heh
The main thing that this game does that normal RS doesn't is taking a well known scam and turning it into a real game mechanic. I'm actually trimming my armor....instead of getting yelled at on the forums for falling for such an obvious scam....hypothetically.
lol
bruh TIL about item locking
Words you can feel. I still remember the day I figured that out after staring at the damn lock icon for probably months....
Epic games what is this?
Best idle game out there
why is your health so low?
Standard account would be my guess if your used to seeing an Adventure characters health bar.
@@Ken_Cikas ye i am used to adventure health cause i play adventure but what makes it change
Standard and hardcore get like a normal health pool. Adventure gets everything times 10 which includes damage, health and all that
@@Ken_Cikas ohhhh ok thanks
Me
:D
Epic wtf is this game
Idle game ftw
He nags so much. I cant fathom his main points. He did not prepare his main points.
I still don't get what's appealing about this game.... It's offline... It's no different than fiddling my thumbs in a room for hours alone.
Its basically a game you can play pretty much any time and anywhere because it's on phones, web browser, Steam. I've adjusted things waiting on a multiplayer game to load or on vacation. Then gone into a dungeon on my pc. It's mostly a chill game that fits in amongst everything else
skipped a year later... and jumping in and out of dozens different games... yea... I start seeing the appeal of this game@@Ken_Cikas
It's a better version of runescape, it's got better lore items and design and you literally don't have to do anything. Of course real life is better, this is an alternative to runescape not a real life job or hobby.
Game is garbage.
