Confirmed new skills

Still-unrevealed new skills

The official plan names 5 new skills in total; so far only 3 are confirmed. We do not guess the remaining two names — that would be speculation, and the developers have not hinted at them publicly.

If the remaining new skill names are announced, this page will list them with their official status.

New vs returning skills

New skills are exclusive to Melvor Idle 2 and are a different category from returning skills that have been reworked — like Farming, which is coming back with major changes but is not one of the 5 new skills. Overview of everything: All Skills
