Ironman Mode

The preferred difficulty of those looking for bragging rights.

#### Added Limitations

1. Cannot interact with the economy, trading, PvP staking, drop passing or using the Trading Post.
2. Accept help from other players, being either by the use picking other drops, slaying the same monsters with the exception of World Bosses.
3. Hardcore Ironman will keep it's status as long as it doesn't die, with the exception of Raids, World Bosses and Black Market.
4. Ironman can also create groups between themselves, with the added that hardcore ironman being kicked of the group once they lose their status badge.

# Guide List

The following guides are written with the perspective of a hardcore ironman, whenever in the position of normal ironman or a group of hardcores will give some leeway to players, some of the guides whomever don't need differentiation, thus still linking to the same one used by normal player.

### Agility

This won't affect you much, I recommend getting to lv 70 in order to get access to most spots needed (including the top area of the fishing spot at the skill zone) and then you can forget this until you remember you want to 99 everything.

### Construction

You might end up using most of your wood with fletching and firemaking, but many slayer targets and other enemies you will farm can drop materials, and you will have spare blacksmithing options, being able to make nails and such.

### Cooking

All of the experience dropped on this skill will come from fishing, i recommend going directly into fishing to cook, most of the fishing spots on the server are nearby a campfire, so you can fish, cook and drop stuff on a deposit box, allowing you to have healing options for when you are training combat skills.

### Crafting

I usually recommend using gems for this, just cut the gems you might get while levelling slayer or woodcutting on gem tree's, having the then cut gems be used to level up fletching.

### Farming

This skill is normally neglected quite a bit, but if you plan on doing late game content you will need to get your timing ready to plant herbs, this will be the main way you can get herbs apart from drops that aren't as consistent.

### Firemaking

Don't leave this for later, once you have already managed to get fletching to the level of the next type of wood you may start burning the spares until you unlock the next step, this is the best way of doing so without needing to go back and cutting lower level wood again.

### Fishing

I recommend trying to get a lot of level in fishing during weekends when we have bonus exp, so that you may get to the fishes from shark and above, since they will provide a decent heal per eat for combat healing.

### Fletching

Get ready to make and discard a lot of bow's, arrow shaft's aren't as useful since you will be mostly creating bolts, they are a good way to save on materials not taking the extra wood, also later on for ranged you will want to use crossbows, for a toxic crossbow and bolt combo or double twilight.

### Herblore

You will need to make a lot of anti-poison, anti-fire and then ebonchill, they will be basically necessary until you have a higher survivability, then you will need to work on the grand potions, aggressions, overloads and the raid and titan forge potions, even with the resource cost they will help save time.

### Hunter

Throw lamps on this until level 65, then you can actual hunt something useful, with lava kebbit's and above being used on good potions and on the titan forge.

### Magic

I recommend levelling this mostly on the top floor of the warrior guild, this will allow for you to kill the giants quickly and without much risk, odds are this and melee will be your best guess on late game, with some bosses having both as a weakness, magic does require quite a bit of resources, so you might be more dependent on melee until you get access to Amulet of Eternal Fire, not only will it provide infinite fire runes but also a decent magic bonus, other than that you will end up being dependent on weapon exclusive spells.

### Melee

For this one you will be relying on higher attack speed weapons, with the exo sword being one you can acquire rather early and might last you until near the end-game.

### Mining

This goes without saying, try to get the achievement of smelting 50 iron bars in order to get yourself a coal bag, then have the bag, a free space (important) and a hammer on your inventory and the pickaxe equipped on the main hand, you will be able to fill the bag in 4 inventories, then by filling it again with mithril you will be able to mass produce mithril bolts, without need to stop at the bank until you start fletching later, you will be looking at some good hours of mithril if you play on King difficulty, then you can adapt to also carry feathers and gem tips, a sweet spot is having around 20 free slots in order to get the coal bag in 5 inventories, then picking 16 adamantite ores, when going onto runite you will need a few more slots, the best pick is to get 14 runite ores, filling the coalbag and 12 more coals, that means having only the spot for the hammer and the coal bag, meaning you should deposit the unfletched runite bolts after making them.

### Prayer

Level up slayer first, then drop 12 points for the ring and the next 25 for the bonecrusher, always carry this with you, this will keep your prayer constantly increasing, there's also a tier strategy for this, by levelling to 43 you will have unlocked the protect prayer for the 3 kinds of damage, allowing for you to ease off prayer until later in the game, when the next tier is at 71, thus unlocking the deflect option on curses, other than that every time you get noted bones store them and then make sure to use them on the altar at the home, for the bonus exp.

### Ranged

It might be worth investing some time into hunting aquanites, they drop ava's that will auto-pick ammo, this plus some good drops at the chest's might allow you to get a high damage low cost setup pretty early, turning the grind that usually is involved in ranged a lot more bearable.

### Runecrafting

Runecrafting is slightly problematic, since you can usually just buy runes, so just go for the highest one possible and pray for it to end quickly, the only bag that is reaaally worth is the latest one, other than that I found quicker it to just have 1 slot for money, 2 for the current rune and just buy, teleport and repeat.

### Slayer

Ring of Slaying > Bonecrusher > Special Drops > Buy anything you want and once you are near lv 94 start stocking for Ebonchill (Its important to get this before firelands, since without an ebonchill potion a fireland task will force you into resetting your streak) > Firelands > Superiors > The Rest.

### Smithing

You will make bolts and nails, until you are tired of it, then you will continue doing them because life is painful.

### Thieving

Just remember to spam Bennie on discord, asking him to lower the level of the medium cash stall so you don't have to grab fur for too long, oh also only the cash and gem stall is any useful.

### Woodcutting

Highest Wood or Gem possible always, once you get to 68 you can spend any afk time cutting the ivy's behind the bank at home, they don't give much EXP but give no items, meaning you can stay there while you go to work, sleep or even, and I cannot believe I'll say this, touch grass.

# FAQ

Here are some of the most asked questions and some just general tips that can help.

### What should I buy with x?

Vote Points: I recommend starting with the Lunar Chisel, then waiting a really long time to get the titan master's gauntlet, only then you should work towards any other item on the shop.
Achievement Points: The choice here is a bit more open, i prefer to go with Gemstone Hatchet first, but in reality any of the non-pets option can be good.
Exo Shop: You can push this back a lot, wait for you to get some useful weaponry and you might not even need to buy the Exo Gear, then save up to get the Hellcat, this item may sometimes even feel mandatory in the long-run, since it will basically give you infinite prayer and healing.
Loyalty Shop: Get the Donator Rank, the extreme one is not worth waiting all the way, since with the donator rank you will get access to a unique skilling zone that will be needed for skilling later on.
ZStorm Shop: I would recommend getting the boots of the zombie king set but other than that i would only go for the infernal tools, death grip and the first 2 transmog items (they require 2500 zombies killed in order to tmog)
Credit Shop: Drop Catcher, definelly, other than that I actually recommend using the in-game help channel since the most optimal pick will vary wildly from your current setup and future goals.

### What can i do with x item?

Most items that are not self-explanatory will have a special tooltip, by holding ctrl and hovering your mouse over them you will get most of the information needed.

### I got these monster machine pieces, what are they used for?

At home near in=front of the building directly north of spawn point there's a table, that will allow you to turn materials into mystery boxes, other than that it is recommended to keep most of the materials since they can be used to level up combat pets, it is not recommended to level up the starter goblin pet, but anything high-tier or above is worth levelling. (you can check the tier of all combat pets at the Pet Guide.

### I got this key called x, what can I do with it?

Scorpion Key: Used to directly enter the Scorpion Cave boss room, recommended to have at least the block melee prayer and anti=poisons.
Loop Half or Tooth Half: Combine both to get an enchanted key.
Enchanted Key: Used on the purple chest located south of home.
Blurite Key: Usually considered the best chest on the game, doing ::giantorc will put you right near it.
Frostfire Key: Can open chest's dropped at the Celestial Cave.
Burning Key: Can open chest's dropped at the Magma Dungeon
Muddy Key: Can open the chest at the Wilderness Lava Maze.
Deep Rock Key: Can open chest's dropped at the Deep Rock Dungeon
Dravonic Key: Can open the chest at the Dravonic Dungeon
Magma Key: Can open the chest at the Magma Dungeon
Twilight Key: Can open any chest usually people use these on Blurite Chest's.

### Is there any way to transfer x to my other account?

Only way for any player to get something you have is by either losing the ironman status and trading or by meeting the other account on the wilderness getting skulled and letting them kill you, this off course brings it's own risk's.

### How can I get credits as an ironman?

Either by buying them on the server's website or by winning giveaways on our server discord.

### Why can't I interact with x npc?

A lot of npc's have the ironman exception on, some of them can still be interacted by talking but not by directly trading, if you need any tool you can use the Global Teleport to teleport to the iron house, where an npc will have most of what you need, other than that the center npc on the south shop at spawn and the magic npc on the same shop are also good ones to get used to, with the first one being used to sell most items to and the second one selling runes.
