Updated Ironman Guide 2020 (Work in progress)

Recommended Posts

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 I'm fairly new to the server and the only guide that helped me and my friends was soooo outdated so I wanted to make a new a one that could be added on in the future.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. 

Contents: GIM Stuff, General Tips, Slayer, Starting Gear, Mid Gear, Endgame Gear, Achievements, RuneX Points, Rune Coins, Guide Contributes, Skilling

GIM Information updated 06 October 2020

  • Solo GIM can raid with anyone
  • 4/5 GIM tend to quit per team, 5 is max amt. per team

  • Talk to GIM Jim (Elder) north inside GIM area to manage teams (you can see account creation date here)
  • If all your teammates or if 1 of your teammates quit you can ask a staff member to remove you or them from group0

[General Tips] please leave any tips in the comments and they will be posted here.

  • 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.
