What to wear at each Combat level

Each row is a gear tier. The number under each piece is its main stat: attack power for weapons, protection for shields and armour. "Set" adds up helmet, chestplate, gauntlets, greaves and boots from that tier, before upgrades.

How gear tiers work

A full armour set goes from 7 protection at Combat 1 to 160 at Combat 70. The step between tiers grows as you climb: the last jump, Combat 65 to 70, adds 35 protection on its own, while the first adds 7.

The official wiki caps Standard and Refined gear at 5 upgrade tiers and Premium and Epic at 10. Every upgrade uses the slot's own stone (Weapon Upgrade Stone, Helmet Upgrade Stone and so on), and higher-quality pieces take more stones per upgrade. The slot pages show the exact cap and stone count the item data gives each piece.

To train the Forge itself, the Forge leveling guide gives the fastest route, and the Forge calculator ranks all recipes by XP and gold per hour.

Frequently asked questions

What Combat levels unlock new gear in IdleMMO?

Forgeable weapons and armour unlock at Combat 1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 65, 70. Each tier also needs Strength (swords and daggers), Dexterity (bows) or Defence (shields and armour).

What is the best forgeable armour in IdleMMO?

The Combat 70 tier. A full set of helmet, chestplate, gauntlets, greaves and boots from it gives 160 protection before upgrades, the most of any forgeable set.

How many times can IdleMMO gear be upgraded?

The official wiki lists tier 5 as the cap for Standard and Refined gear and tier 10 for Premium and Epic. Each slot page shows the exact cap the game's item data gives every piece. Upgrades consume the slot's own stone: Weapon Upgrade Stone, Helmet Upgrade Stone and so on.
