Efficient Uim Guide

Since there doesn't seem to be any guides for UIMs out there atm, I've decided to give you my in thoughts on how to max.

I've broken this guide down into a few key categories for anyone new interested in trying the game or for the people who already have an account.

## **Getting Started**

Ultimate Ironman has a Normal mode **OR** A Gilded mode (A combination of the Ultimate & Hardcore Modes)

### Restrictions:

* Cannot access banks
* Cannot access Trading Post
* Cannot trade other players

What you can do:

* Use items on a bank to swap between its noted and unnoted form
* Access the Vote/Achievement Shops

### **Planning**

With all these restrictions on a Ultimate Ironman, planning ahead of time is a key skill in order to avoid constantly having a full inventory. As space is one of the most important assets a UIM has, taking advantage of this will really set you off in the right direction. With this in mind it is highly recommend to prioritise training skills that require a lot of inventory space in order to be more efficient.

Alongside this, Wilderness related tasks may be better to get done early while you have minimal risk, especially if you plan on getting the achievements done **(For Completion cape)** as doing this later with a lot more risk can be very stressful.

Skilling is usually your **first priority** when starting out as once you begin training combat and slayer, your available inventory slots will **rapidly diminish**.

Getting yourself a looting bag should be a **high priority** once you find yourself needing to hold onto items for other skills, bossing etc in order to maintain as much free inventory space as possible. As UIM is so restricted, it's not uncommon to grind one skill out at a time as switching skills can be time consuming due to the nature of the gamemode and its lack of access to a bank.

### **Storage Options**

As a Ultimate Ironman you will have access to a very limited selection of storage options, these options include:

* Looting Bag
* Item Retrieval Services such as Zulrah/Vorkath/Cerberus/Instances.
* Your own Untradeable Storage bank (50 spaces unlocked with storage tickets\*)

Looting bags are a UIMs best friend, they act as a second inventory which can be extremely useful. However there are a few restrictions. You may only put items into the Looting bag when you are in the Wilderness. You may also only retrieve an item from your Looting bag from the grand exchange at home, **Be very wary when putting items into your Looting bag and always check your surroundings before entering the Wilderness.**

### **How to obtain a Looting Bag:**

Looting bags are dropped by most NPCs in the wilderness, however it is recommended to kill Thugs/Chaos Druids in the Edgeville Dungeon as they are low level and relatively safe from the usual pkers.

Edgeville Dungeon can be accessed via a training teleport under Edgeville Dungeon;

Item Retrieval Services allow for a temporary storage solution allowing you to completely free up your inventory, you can also claim back your items for a **fee off 500k**. There is one major drawback to this storage however as if you die while your items are in storage, **everything in there will be lost**. For this reason it is *highly* recommended that you only do safe activities while using this service.

### **Additional Misc. Storage**

There is one extra storage options that can be useful for that extra storage space which is your Untradeable bank;

### **Obtaining Storage Tickets;**

* Slayer monsters (Instance ones are the best because of Multizone barraging)
* Donator store

## **Ending**

Down to you now, You can go do some combat and gain amour or skill but make sure you don't over fill your looting bag, because if you're wanting to max your uim...You need to horde as less possible till you have all the skills out of the way!

***GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!***
