Note that this guide isn't completed but I wanted to post it now so I could update and build it with the help of the community. I'm fairly new to the server and the only guide that helped me and my friends was soooo outdated so I wanted to make a new a one that could be added on in the future. I'm looking for any tips you may have or better layout ideas to make this guide more helpful. Made possible by contributions to your Ironman Guide from viewers like you. Thank you. Last Updated: 06 October 2020 I've only been playing this server for a few months but I wanted to make an updated guide for ironman with heavy influence from Seto's guide which is linked at the end. If this is you're first time playing please view Seto's Guide as I won't cover account creation other than Group Ironman. If there is anything I missed or you believe you have a better strategy leave it in the comments and I'll update the guide and give you credit in this guide.

Train skills using skilling master at Edgeville this way you can work towards skill task collection log [Starter Gear] all items - Chaotic Rapier/Crossbow/Staff, Tome of fire (i), Dragon defender (t), Fused Slayer Helmet, Master wand & Infinity boots & book of infinity, Imbued god cape, Karils & Ahrims & Amulet of the damned/(t), Ring of wealth (i), Kharazi spear (e) + karamja gloves 3, Torso (e), Catalytic rune pouch, Frost/Lava/Earth slayer helmet, Lava pendant, Infernal cape, Dragon warhammer, Devout boots, Penance Gloves Tips - Dragon scimitar from Weapon wielder I (60att achievment) Chaotic Rapier/Crossbow/Staff Getting a chaotic weapon early is annoying so just donate honestly but here are several ways you could go about obtaining one: - Money Monson II achievement (complete 7 ankou dailies): gives you a free chaotic box - Task Master III achievement (kill 2000 slayer targets): gives you a free chaotic box - 1000 donator tickets (can get the chaotic of your choice) - 125k RuneX points (can get the chaotic of your choice) [NOT RECOMMENDED] - 500 Slayer points (for a random chaotic weapon) [NOT RECOMMENDED] Tome of fire (i) You can get a regular tome of fire from essence implings and then enchant it at the imbue wizard for 40,000 RuneX points The tome of fire (i) will boost fire spells damage by 75%. It's great for Fire Surge to crush barrows. Dragon defender (t) This can be achieved in the RuneX Point Store for 75,000 points, you can also get the normal limp dick one from warrior guides which you need for collection log points anyways. Normal Dragon Defender + 2,500 Guild tokens = d def (t). Fused Slayer Helmet This should be one of the early grinds of your account and is covered in slayer section. It costs a total of 5100 slayer points to get a fused slayer helmet. Master wand & Infinity boots & book of infinity Those can be acquired through the mage arena I minigame. I recommend doing it on wilderness task. If you complete the "Ace of the Arena" achievement, you'll most likely have enough magic tokens to buy all 3 items. Imbued god cape This cape has twice the magic bonus of the regular god cape and only takes 5 minutes to get. Be aware you need to complete the "Ace of the Arena" achievement before doing the mage arena II minigame. then chuck them for imbued version. 10% chance cost imbued cape, 500 rune coins and 100m gp. Karils & Ahrims & Amulet of the damned/(t) It's definitely worth to spend some time at barrows to get karils (full), ahrims (top/bottom) and the amulet of the damned. The amulet of the damned can also be obtained from the black chest (fyir shades chest). Karils + aotd is a great set-up to do zulrah. Just do daily Barrow Runs everyday to help the grind. Use Fire Surge with Tome of Fire (i) and Chaotic/Smoke Staff if you got. Ring of wealth (i) You can imbue a regular ring of wealth for 150k runex points or spend 1500 donor tickets. Row (i) will provide you with 7.5% drop rate bonus. Kharazi spear (e) + karamja gloves 3 This is an OP early game melee set-up that can be easily achieved through the kharazi minigame. The karamja gloves 3 costs 2500 trading sticks. You get a free kharazi spear for completing 5 jungle demons dailies. The spear can also be dropped by monsters inside the kharazi minigame. A guide to Kharazi Minigame is linked at bottom. Torso (e) You can attempt to make a torso (e) at the enchantment chest. It's great for wilderness slayer. Torso cost 2,500 Warrior Guild Tokens and Torso (i) cost 25k RuneX Points It costs a torso (i) + 1000 warrior guild token + 750 runecoins for each attempt. You have 33% chance of succeeding (be prepared to fail a few times) Catalytic rune pouch This will provide you with infinite blood barrage runes. (death/blood/souls) You can purchase one for 15,000 runecoins (with the 25% ironman discount) Frost/Lava/Earth slayer helmet You can upgrade your fused slayer helmet using 15,000 runecoins. The frost slayer helmet is for magic, and the lava slayer helmet is for ranged, lava for melee. Lava pendant This item will allow you to do chambers of xerics as many times per day as you want. You can get it from lava demons at a 1 in 833 drop rate or from the lava chest. Infernal cape You need to sacrifice a tokhaar-kal which cost 200k tokkul in the tokkul shop. Inferno only has 5 waves on this server and it's not that hard. Dragon warhammer You can get this from lizardman shamans at a 1 in 1000 drop rate. This item or a Bandos Godsword is pretty much necessary for efficient raids. Devout boots This boots increases soulsplit effect by 15%. You will need 84 Slayer to kill Drakes which are assigned in Hard slayer task which drop the Drake's tooth. That and Holy Sandals are required for boots. It's best in slot for raids behind Grand Boots (i) Penance Gloves Can be bought from Warriors Guild Shop for Dragon Gauntlets (from crystal key chest) and 250 guild tokens [Slayer] Do 99 Easy task for point boost then do brimstone from 99 streak till 23,600 points slayer points. This is how much you need to buy every slayer reward point item you need. Once you are 99 slayer buy a slayer cape since it gives 20% more slayer points per task if you equipped it for last kill. Below is a list of everything you'll need to buy from reward shop and the order I would personal buy them. - Do not cancel your task. This will reset your streak. - If you get a bad task early on, permanently block it. THIS WILL RESET STREAK!! Order - Slayer Helmet (i)(15% damage), Expeditious Bracelet (helps rush 99 easy slayer task), Transportation Incantations(Catacombs unlock), Lesser Slayer Emblem(5% drop rate), Greater Slayer Emblem(10% drop rate), Superior Slayer Tome(superior monsters), Insulated boots(5% damage), Prayer first if you like to afk then Melee/Range/Magic/ into Fused slayer helmet, Bracelet of slaughter(extends task), wilderness slayer task 250, Larren's Slayer Helm Items/Total - 23,850 - Slayer Helmet (i) 100 points, Melee/Range/Magic/Prayer 4k points, Fused 5k, Larren's 5k, Slayer Gloves/Boots 2k, Boots of stone 100, Bracelet of slaughter 150, Expeditious bracelet 150, instanced slayer (perk) 5k, Transportation incantations 100, Superior slayer tome 1k, Greater slayer emblem x5 750, Lesser slayer emblem x5 250, wilderness slayer task 250 Total - 23,850 Keep 25 Larren Keys for Larren's Slayer Helm Block Task - Steel Dragons(brimhaven), Iron Dragons(brimhaven), Bronze Dragons(brimhaven), Fire Giants(brimhaven) Black Demons(brimhaven) The reason I personally block these task is because it's better to get shit task in kourend for dark totem pieces. Preferred List - Jelly (kourend), Abyssal demon (kourend), Battle mages (wildy), empty, empty For the jelly's and abby demons I would blood barrage with a pet that has 3x luck and a Master fortune accessory. Jelly superiors drop Grand Crest and Superior Abby Demons drop Imbuing Stones so its a helluva worth while task. Battle Mages are for farming Larren keys and don't go in rags, like bring some tank stuff because if you get a rare drop and have 4 items you'll lose it anyways soo you might as well try and out tank a tb. Mage Arena collection logs gives 3 grand crest and 10 points so ya take the time to it. Reason: I know a lot of people will tell you rush fused but it's honestly not worth it as slayer points is passively gained and 5% off task isn't much. The drops you get from superiors is much better for account progression than fused. Depending on what you plan on doing; upgrading the fused into the better versions lava, frost, earth offer better bonuses in combat, magic, ranged. If you plan on barraging in catacombs often I would get the frost. Lava if you want to do more bosses with melee, and earth which is for people who eat crayons. If you plan on staying in wildy often I would get the Larren's slayer helm before fused. Larren keys are extremely op for ironman. You get loads of blood money each chest and can farm Chaos Elder Druids with barrage for keys.

Meet Shitletics, my runex hardcore ironman. After recently maxing my normie account i decided to up the anti, to forge my own journey from scratch. no player interactions, no dying. But this time i cant sell choccy tokens for billions. All leading up to one of Runescapes biggest challenges, the Theatre of Blood. https://gyazo.com/d820811d57acdf2794ce1b30113f126b

Hiiii I'm known as Ava in game. I was training on my hcim account at bandits with protect from melee prayer on and encountered a connection issue which caused me to logout. Due to the high respawning rates I was unable to login and this resulted in my death and loss of hcim status. I don't think I lost any items, but would ask that you please restore hcim status. Thank you - Ava

After reading Ironman's bug report about multi-combat bossing I wanted to suggest one solution to the problem. His problem was that as an Ironman, he was fighting the same boss as a regular player. He said that even though he was dealing more damage, he wasn't receiving the loot (which i'm sure is apart of the whole Ironman thing, having to deal like 90% of the damage or something like that.) My suggestion is this: Ironman accounts have access to instanced bossing How it would work: There's an NPC at home called the Instance Master (or something like this) who you would speak to. This instance master would give you a list of available bosses which you could fight, each having it's own requirement (slayer level or CB level) The catch: Some would say this would give Ironman accounts and unfair advantage. My solution to this is that these instanced boss fights, besides having a slayer or CB level requirement, cost a fair amount of Coins. For example - You've selected the King Black Dragon, this requires 75 Slayer to access and 1.5 Million Coins. Would you like to proceed? Pros: Ironman accounts don't need to wait for someone to be done bossing to be able to fight said boss. There is no impact on the economy, as Ironman accounts can't trade the loot they receive anyways. The requirements + Coins to enter these instances stop from mass farming. Ironman account's have no other real use of their coins as of now, so why not give them something to spend all these hard earned GPs on? Cons: Might make bossing a bit easier, and loot more obtainable. Requirements could be harder to meet for Supreme & Prime accounts, as normal and hard would reach them rather quickly. Any comments/criticism is accepted! Just thought I'd share my idea with you guys!

Supreme Mode This is the second hardest difficulty RuneX provides. The Exp rate is 20x that of Runescape's and when in the game you will be marked with an orange striped ironman helmet next to your name.

The Exp rate is 3x that of Runescape's and when in the game you will be marked with a red striped ironman helmet next to your name. You will get the Blurite sword, the double EXP scroll ever 12 hours and a training shield. The training shield blocks 20% of damage from monsters level 75 and under.

Quick Slayer guide! Complete slayer task to earn slayer points to buy slayer gear! Talk to the slayer master located outside the home bank to get a task. The difficulty of the task will determine how many points you will get for completing it Easy = 5 points Normal = 10 points Hard = 15 points You can check your slayer information in the Achievement tab Slayer Shop So what do we do now!?!? Well, Here is some key items you should work to get when starting up your ironman! Dragon Scimitar and Plateskirt This is simple to obtain. Once you have 60 attack(Scimitar) and 60 defense(Plateskirt) you can claim these for free by turning in the two achievements! The Slayer helmet This item gives a 15% bonus damage to any slayer monster you are assigned. It's easy to get as it only cost 100 slayer points from the slayer store. Proselyte armor This armor is great when using prayer and easy to get its a very common drop from ankous and give a +17 prayer bonus when wearing the full set! Iban's Staff This staff is needed to cast Iban's Blast a strong spell that uses easy to acquire runes. It may take a bit to grind one out but you can get lucky and get it as a drop from ankous as well. If you are unlucky finishing the task Graveyard Shift II will give you one automatically Fighter Torso and Barrows gloves This is two great pieces of gear. The Fighter torso and gloves give great strength bonuses and are pretty easy to obtain. The torso cost 45,000 RuneX Points The Barrows Gloves cost 40 Achievement Points Graceful Gear This gear makes it so your run energy diminishes slowly It takes a while to get but its worth every lap. You must gather marks of grace from doing agility. Each course gives you a different amount of marks Gnome stronghold = 1 Mark of Grace per lap Barbarian Corse = 2 Marks of Grace per lap Wild Corse = 3 Marks of Grace per lap. You need 1050 Marks of Grace to get the full set of graceful Clicking on the Marks of Grace open up the Store to buy the gear Task Bottles and Scrolls This are dropped randomly by monsters you kill in RuneX When opening a task bottle you will pick a difficulty and be given a Scroll. Completing the scroll will give you a random reward much like a clue scroll. This can be very rewarding and give amazing gear so do all the scrolls you get. Note: You may only have 1 scroll at a time. Defenders Your goal is to get a dragon defender. To do this you must gain a defender for ever metal below it. ( Bronze, Iron Black...etc.) You must do the warrior guilds minigame to get defenders. You will need to gather a full set of armor to animate and kill for warrior guild tokens. I recommend gettign a full set of adamant armor as its is easy to kill and provides 30 tokens per kill. The best way to get a set of adamant armor is to kill hill giants for a while. it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes! Note: When a defender drops make sure to leave the room and re-entering or the same defender will drop a second time! Vote Tickets Voting is super easy and only takes 2 -3 minutes at most. You will get a ticket every time you vote for each site. By clicking the tickets a shop will open up with Double EXP scrolls Triple EXP scrolls and some item boxes. This are very important as it makes like grind skills go by much faster or getting that combat level quicker! It also helps the server a ton and when RuneX becomes your new RuneScape home you and us all want it to be the best one out there so make sure to vote! I hope this guide gave you somewhat of an idea on what to do when you start your new ironman! Thanks to everyone who has made it this far into the guide. I plan to continue to work on it adding more content as time goes on If you have any comments or concerns leave a message below or PM me in game @ Iron Pray Let's play together in the game so send me a PM and add me as a friend Iron Pray If you chose to be a Prime Player my guild is looking for new members Prime United is a small group of the elite prime players We want new and active users to play with and get to know better Check it out below! Thank you again and I can't wait to see you guys in game!

So as it was brought to my attention it appears that it is literally impossible for ironmen to get an antidragon shield.... meaning to even fight dragons we'll have to get antifire pots using herblore which is quite honestly ridiculous. you were able to limit some shops so why not the melee shop so it doesnt give overpowered items but still allows you to get necessary items.

Increased drop rate for herb seeds/selling herb seeds for high prices in the shop. so alot of herbs as you'd expect have a lower drop rate but seeing as farming is around this was the chance to let people make their own herbs should they have the sufficient farming level. sadly the monsters that drop the seeds have insanely low drop rates for them. i've killed well over 200-400 chaos priests and have gotten herbs left and right but only 4 seed drops which one was luckily doubled. all the seeds that were dropped however were lower leveled ones like tarromin and guam. this could just be my ignorance of what drops what as it wouldnt be the first time i made a mistake, but even so a slight buff to the drop rate would make things alot better especially for ironmen who don't have access to the shops. also for those who can buy from the shop having a seed in there for high amounts of gold would allow someone to spend a bit of cash instead of grinding for the seeds. this would also set a price ceiling for seeds which would stop rampant price changes.
