Best Melee Gear in Idle Clans, Slot by Slot
259 items give a melee bonus across 13 equipment slots in the official combat calculator data. The best item in every slot adds +198 melee accuracy, +218 melee strength and +404 melee defence. Each slot below shows that pick, the cheaper steps that lead to it, what it costs on the player market, where it comes from and how many tracked top players wear it.
How this page ranks gear
Best in slot is the item with the highest melee strength bonus; ties go to the higher melee accuracy bonus, then the higher melee defence bonus. There is no combined score and no DPS figure, because the game does not publish how bonuses become max hit or hit chance. A piece is listed for melee when it lowers none of the melee bonuses and is not offence for another style only (a robe adds magic accuracy and nothing for melee). The upgrade path orders a slot by official base value and keeps only items that no cheaper item matches or beats on all three melee bonuses. The data has no level requirements, so none are shown; a crafted item shows the level of its crafting task. Pets are left out: the data lists pet tiers and pet boosts as separate entries. Items with identical stats (enchanted jewellery, mastery capes of one tier) are shown as one row.

Melee armour sets by tier
Armour families that share a name (Bronze, Iron, Steel, Platinum, Meteorite, Warrior's, Citadel, Titanium, Astronomical, Otherworldly), cheapest first by total official base value. Totals add up one piece per slot. A family counts when at least two of its pieces lean to melee: melee is the style with their highest accuracy plus strength bonus (plate armour counts as melee because it lowers archery and magic accuracy).
"Incomplete" means at least one piece has no market offer, so the set has no full price. "Pieces worn" adds up, piece by piece, how many tracked top players wear each one.
