Melvor Idle - News - Update Preview - v1.3.1 - New Realm Select, Bank Filters, ItA Balancing and more

Hello everyone!

It’s been a minute since I’ve provided an update on what we’re working on behind the scenes, so I thought now would be a good chance to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming v1.3.1 update (no ETA yet).

This update primarily focuses on Into the Abyss and addressing feedback we’ve received around it.

Important Notes

98% of these changes relate to the Into the Abyss Expansion.
This update is not yet released, and there’s no ETA just yet. Once balancing and translations are finalised, we will release it.
I'd also like to release the Offline Client - Stage 2 at the same time as this update, so hopefully everything aligns and I can get everything out in one go.

The changes are not final, as we still have general balance changes and fixes to implement.

You can play the Beta of this update at https://melvoridle.com/beta/

It uses different saves, so just log into your Cloud account and import your live save.
DO NOT export from the Beta back into the Live game before the update is released publically. It won't work and will corrupt your save! You can do so once we release the update and the versions match (Eg. v1.3.1).

New Realm Select

One of the primary points of feedback comes around the Realm Select that was implemented, and how it works between Skills. It was a bit confusing or frustrating to be constantly navigating dropdowns to select your desired Realm and the content within.

We are introducing a new Realm select feature that separates Realms even more, and hopefully aligns more with how Realms ended up being implemented in the end.

Summary of Features:

Realm Select has moved from Skills themselves to the Sidebar
Added a new “Enter/Leave Abyssal Realm” button that controls the Realm for every Skill.
Skills no longer show their Realm select. Instead, they only show the content available in your current Realm.
Artisan Skills and Combat will only show categories for the Realm you are currently in.
If there are more than 2 available Realms, a new “Select Realm” dropdown in the sidebar will appear allowing you to select other Realms.
Entering/Exiting the Abyssal Realm will automatically change the sidebar to show/hide Abyssal Levels, AP, ASC and Soul Points.
Skills in the Sidebar will have a slight transparent style applied to them if it contains no content for the Realm you are currently inside.
Sidebar adjusts its style when inside the Abyssal Realm.
The Abyssal Realm will show as Locked in the sidebar, and clicking on it will display its unlock requirements.
Ability to swap back the “Legacy” Realm select from settings if you preferred that.

Enter/Leave Abyssal Realm

The sidebar now has a new “Enter/Leave Abyssal Realm” button that will control the Realm for every Skill including Combat. Clicking this option will change the Realm for every Skill, and will adjust menu options and available Skill content based on the Realm.

Select Realm Option

If other Realms are available, whether it be from Mods or the game itself, you’ll be able to select them from a new dropdown menu. This menu only appears if other Realms are available. If the Abyssal Realm is the only other Realm, then this option is hidden.

Bank Filters

The Bank is getting some predefined filters that will allow you to show/hide certain types of Items that you may not want to see. It’s only in a basic state at the moment, so options are limited for this release.

Using the Bank Search will adhere to your filters. If its hidden from the Bank, it will be hidden from the search.

Filters for everyone:

Ability to toggle visibility of items per Expansion.

Additional Filters for Into the Abyss (only shows if you have the Expansion loaded):

Show/Hide weapons that use Normal Damage/Abyssal Damage
Show/Hide equipment that has Damage Reduction/Abyssal Resistance.
Show/Hide items that modify Skill XP
Show/Hide items that modify Abyssal XP

Into the Abyss Recipe Costs

We’re making some of the recipe costs for Into the Abyss a lot nicer to train on:

Heavily reduced the costs to create Arrows, Javelins, Bolts and Crossbows in Fletching.
Removed one Item completely from the recipe cost of most Abyssal Rings & Amulets in Crafting
Reduced the quantity required of Abyssal Rings & Amulets required for upgraded version (II).
Removed the Ring/Amulet item requirement for Obzurian Rings & Amulets in Crafting.
Removed the Brumite Bar cost for Gloomite Gear in Smithing.
Removed the Gloomite Bar cost for Witherite Gear in Smithing.
Halved the Witherite Bar cost quantity for Netherite Gear in Smithing.

Into the Abyss Early-Mid XP Balancing

We’ve reworked the early to mid-game XP rates for Into the Abyss, allowing progression in the early stages to be a lot faster for most (not all) Non-Combat Skills. This will allow you to get into ItA content a bit faster than before.

Early game content sees double the XP rate, which scales downward until around Abyssal Level 30-35ish.

See the changelog below for a detailed run-down on the XP changes.

v1.3.1 Changelog as of 29 August 2024

*Not yet final, changes and bug fixes still to come

New

Implemented a new Realm Select. This appears in the sidebar instead of within Skills themselves.
Added an “Enter/Leave Abyssal Realm” option in the Sidebar, allowing you to easily enter/exit the Abyssal Realm. It will show as locked if not available.
Added “Select Realm” sidebar menu item that will appear if more than 2 visible Realms are available, allowing you to change Realms from here.
Skills with category selection (Like Artisan Skills) will now only display categories from the Realm you are currently in.
Combat will now only show Categories that contain at least 1 area from the Realm you are currently in.
Skills in the sidebar will now have a slightly transparent look if they contain no content for the Realm you are currently in.
The Abyssal Realm now applies a special theme to the Sidebar when inside.
Added a new Setting to re-enable the Legacy Realm selection for those who prefer that over the new one.
Added Bank Filters via a new icon next to the Bank Tab summary. This allows you to show/hide items based on some predefined filters. Those with Into the Abyss will see more filters than those who don’t own it.
