Melvor Idle 2 Skills

What the developers have officially confirmed about skills in Melvor Idle 2 — including the level cap, new skills, reworks and Mastery Guilds.

Confirmed skill system

  • 29 skills in the base game, including 5 brand new to Melvor Idle 2.
  • Maximum level 120 for every skill — above the original's level 99 cap.
  • Familiar skills are reworked or updated to fit the new gameplay.
  • Skills interact and synergize with each other (per the official announcement).
  • The June 2026 update added 12 new skills to the Alpha in one update (8 combat, 4 non-combat) alongside the entire Combat system.

Skills named so far

The developers have not published the full skill list for Melvor Idle 2. Across official updates, Thieving, Agility and Herblore have been named among the non-combat skills arriving with updated or reworked mechanics. Practice skills traditionally include gathering, production and combat lines, but we do not extrapolate a full list from Melvor Idle 1.

Mastery Guilds

Mastery Guilds are the reimagined Mastery system in Melvor Idle 2, covering every skill — including Combat. Per the June 2026 update, they replace the original per-Item Mastery with a task-based system. The next major Alpha update is scheduled to bring Astrology and the Combat Mastery Guilds.

Skill progress tracking

The game's Current Action Tracking shows your rates for the action you are doing — XP per hour, items gained per hour and more. The in-game Codex is planned to stay up to date with mechanics and item uses and sources.

Skill rates, recipes, experience curves and any recommended levelling order require a playable build. Until then, we only report what the developers have confirmed.
