Ironman Starter guide

BEFORE YOU START READING, This is a guide that ultimately ends with camping the Salvation Warrior. This guide is going to be more beneficial for people that have a main account and can afk their Ironman to get it going, but it can still work for you if an Ironman is your main account. In my own personal opinion you will be a lot better off early game afking your Ironman. I'd suggest scanning over the guide first before reading. Now lets get too it!

So being an Iron you have 2 afk zones you have access to. The ::iron zone which allows you to cut the iron tree and you get your own personalized shop, and the ::afk zone.

First off you wanna start off at ::afk for the following loot. Go to ::shops and get a bronze pickaxe and a dragon pickaxe from Bob, also grab a bronze axe and a dragon axe for ::iron afk.

- Everything from the afk rock is going to be important besides the coal.

- The Crystal Keys are going to allow you to buy small cash caskets at ::ckey for extra cash.

- The Ammo Boxes will be your starter ammo.  <- These are the goal. Atrox shots/ Atrox shots (e). The difference is, is that Atrox shots have 250 range strength, and Atrox shots (e) have 500. I'd suggest using the regular ones and stack up the Atrox Shot (e)'s.

- The Mystery Boxes will allow you to get 99 prayer with ease from the altar at home. Plus you get extra cash, ammo boxes, dragonkin lamps, and Super Boxes. You can either stash the partyhats/ starter boxes in your bank or just drop them.

- The super boxes are important because it will be one of your main sources of cash starting out. Keep all the American Pernix until you have a full set of Crimson Pernix. The rest sell to the 1b shop at ::ckey.

- The Gold Keys are worth 22b at the one 1b shop at ::ckey. I would sell those there.

Mystery Box Loot -    250 Mystery Boxes -

- The only thing you want to keep from the super boxes is the American Pernix, sell everything else to the 1b shop. The money you get from Super Boxes, you're going to want to use on your American Pernix to upgrade it too, American Pernix ( Elite), and eventually too Crimson Pernix.

Upgrading into Elite Pernix costs 30b per piece with a 25% chance of upgrading, and upgrading elite into Crimson costs 200b per piece with a 15% chance of upgrading . It can add up and be very pricy, that's why its important too sell all the loot you get from super boxes. If you fail your upgrades and run out of cash I'd suggest just planting your iron back at the ::afk rocks, I personally left my iron there for 2 days and it helped out tremendously.

Now on to ::iron zone! If you haven't already grab a bronze axe and dragon axe from Bob at ::shops.

The Iron tree takes a good amount of time to stack points up. The most important item as of now is going to be the Dragon Minigun. I will be discussing the important items below in order and the prices for them. (2 items)

Dragon Minigun - This is going to be your most important weapon starting out. I would recommended buying this first. 18k Ironman points.

Collectors Neck - The collectors neck is one of the best parts of Athens, you literally don't have to pick up your loot. So you can either, watch Streamers and hopefully get Ultra or Supreme boxes from the Youtube Bosses, or just sit at the tree till you get the points. You can either open 50 boxes and get 1 or open 500 and get 0. I didnt want to put myself through that so I just afked at the tree. 215k Ironman points.

At this point we can continue on into the next grind.

Now before pushing any further. This is how your character should be looking and you should have 99 prayer at this point, make sure you buy super restores from the healer at Home. Soul Split is the goal, that is your food source on this server, minus raids. I'll discuss where to get the rest of the items that weren't covered earlier.

Full Crimson Pernix - Made through item manager at ::shops.

Collector Necklace - Either bought through Iron store for 215k Iron points or got lucky with a Ultra or Supreme box.

Ava's Accumulator - Bought at ranging store from ::shops.

Dragon Minigun - Bought through Iron store for 18k Iron points.

Barrows Gloves - Available for 100k after completing Mini-Quest Recipe for Disaster at home. (Inside slayer shack next to bravek) Really easy, just make sure you have the rest of gear above and maybe a little food from the Healer.

Snakeskin Boots - Bought at ranging store from ::shops.

At this point, you are ready for possibly one of the biggest grinds for your account. The Salvation Warrior. He is located at ::iron inside the portal in the bank.

This is the drop table for the Salvation Warrior, he is a group boss. So my best advice is, either say in help cc "Come to Iron Boss" and hopefully some players come down and kill him. if that doesn't work, go back to the iron tree to start working on your other items. You will need things in the iron store for future upgrades.

The requirement to get the loot for the kill is 10k damage inflicted, this should be no issue since you have the Crimson and Dragon Minigun.

The hardest part of this grind, is going to be to just straight up sit here and do it. I've gone days without drops and still don't have the full set. This is going to be your best option for gear by far. You can boss with it, raid with it. It's very good until you start making some of the bigger upgrades. I would recommended camping here until you at least have The faceguard, chest guards and legs, and maybe even a weapon.

Now if you're running low on Ammo, take the Super Boxes you got from the Salvation Warrior, sell off everything to the 1b shop at ::ckey and go hit the Slots that are also at ::ckey. Slots drop 250 mystery boxes, which drop ammo boxes, and a very common from doing your spins.

As you play the game, you will acquire bonds, whether it be from upgrading Limey Bows for $10 Bonds, Rainbow miniguns for $25 Bonds, or getting lucking from super boxes/loyalty boxes and pulling the $5 bond, or getting lucky from slots and getting $5 Bonds, $10 Bonds, $25 Bonds or even $50 Bonds. The main thing I'd go for first if you plan on camping the Salvation Warrior is an Infinite Prayer scroll, that will be extremely nice not having to worry about your prayer points dropping. It is 80 donor points from the Donor Shop at ::shops.

Even if you feel like you aren't doing enough damage, don't worry about it. Because if you camp the Salvation Warrior long enough you will be doing tons of damage with the gear that he drops, if you feel like you have a hard time getting the damage req, head over to the loyalty shop and grab some overloads at 100 Loyalty Points each.

This should keep you busy on your iron as it will take quite a long time to get the salvation pieces. I will be making an extended guide on this in the future, so hopefully this helped you out! There are other ironman guides here on forums that are great. My goal is to give you a little more variety. Thank you so much for checking out the guide!
