The read
The skill lists land close: IdleMMO's public index lists 10, Milky Way Idle's wiki lists 11 with Combat as one of them. The difference is the ceiling. IdleMMO caps each skill separately — 100 for Combat down to 50 for Alchemy — so the grind length is a per-skill decision. We have not verified Milky Way Idle's caps, so that row stays empty rather than guessed.
On the market, Milky Way Idle publishes more of the mechanism: buy and sell listings with a flat 2% sale tax, 18% on Cowbell Bags. IdleMMO's public market data is a daily average price per item, which is what our calculators cost gold per hour with, plus a live companion exchange where 15 pets are listed for gold at a stated level.
Where the two are not comparable at all is combat structure. IdleMMO publishes 47 enemies, 18 dungeons and 11 world bosses with timed windows, which is why boss timers exist here. Milky Way Idle's Combat is one skill on a wiki page we read, and nothing more than that is verified. There are no Milky Way Idle tools on this site.
