Ironman Starter Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Zeah, in this short guide we will be going over Restrictions and a starter guide for Money and Gear you might need for your adventure. Below this will be a small list of restrictions so you can be 100% clear on what you can and can't do whilst playing on an Ironman restricted account. Please give these restrictions a quick pass so you can easily traverse the land of Gielinor.

Restrictions

Standard

Ironman players are NOT able to do the following:

• Trade with other players (except certain quest items from Shield of Arrav and Heroes' Quest, as well as receiving Old school bond|bonds
• Use the Grand Exchange to buy or sell any item except for Old School bond|bonds, which are purchasable (but not sellable) via a unique ironman-only interface.
• Pick up drops from other players' kills, including PvP
  • No loot will drop whatsoever if another player has attacked that monster. Even zero points of damage dealt by another player will prevent the ironman from getting any loot. This does not apply if that monster was weakened by other monsters. In addition, if the monster attacks other players too much, the ironman will not get loot to prevent tanking.
• Gain experience from player-versus-player encounters (base Magic experience from casting spells is still gained, however)
• Use the Accept Aid feature
• Enter another player's player-owned house
• Buy items from other players through overstocked shops or take advantage of higher sell prices of understocked shops
• Receive items via balloons in the Falador Party Room

Hardcore

Hardcore Ironman players will only have one life, in addition to the standard restrictions given to all ironmen. If a Hardcore Ironman dies, they will be converted to a standard ironman. In addition, their experience and total level on the Hardcore Ironman highscore table will be locked, with their name slashed across like this

Safe deaths, such as those in minigames, will not cause the player to become a standard ironman. The following activities are deemed safe:

• Barbarian Assault
• Castle Wars
• Chambers of Xeric
• Clan Wars
• Inferno
• Last Man Standing
• Magic Training Arena
• Nightmare Zone
• Pest Control
• Death within a player-owned house
• PvM Arena
• Soul Wars
• TzHaar Fight Cave
• TzHaar Fight Pit

PvP minigames such as Last Man Standing, Clan Wars, and Castle Wars are still safe deaths for hardcore group ironmen.

Furthermore, hardcore group ironmen are unable to challenge Nex with members outside of their group, regardless of Group Prestige.

Ultimate

Ultimate Ironman players have the following restrictions, in addition to the standard restrictions given to all ironmen:

Storage:

• Cannot withdraw, deposit or note items at a bank. They are still able to unnote items at banks.
• Cannot create item sets using the Grand Exchange
• Cannot send items with Coal Trucks, the Dwarven Boatman or Daeyalt essence to the bank.
• Cannot send their Servant to the bank or the Sawmill.
• Cannot store anything in the seed vault or POH Spice rack.
• Cannot store duplicate items in the POH Costume Room or withdraw items before first depositing the entire set an item belongs to.
• Cannot utilize the looting bag's mechanics on a PVP world outside of the Wilderness.

Death:

• Cannot protect their 3 most valuable items on death.
• Cannot take advantage of the Protect Item prayer.
• Cannot utilize graves, instead, their items will drop directly to the ground. Inside instances and the God Wars Dungeon items will still be put outside, with supplies dropped on the floor. Item retrieval services work as normal, with the exception of at Zulrah.
• Items dropped on death will remain where they are for an hour after death until despawning.
• Ultimate Ironmen may always retrieve items from Zul-Gwenwynig, and do not have an interface to reclaim their items from. Instead, being given directly into the inventory when reclaimed.
• Untradeable items are always dropped on death, if killed in the wilderness most items are converted into coins and dropped for the player who killed the Ultimate Ironman.

Starter Money

Voting

• You can start this by simply typing ::vote you will be met with the voting screen asking you to vote on 5 separate websites.
• Once you've managed to get to this screen make sure to vote on all 5 of the websites provided (be aware that one of the websites require you to login to vote, the easiest way is to just link your discord).
• Once you have voted on all 5 websites you can now use the ::claim command (only at home) and you should be met with your total count of votes at the top you can spend and some goodies you can spend those vote point on
• Spending your vote tickets can look like an endeavor with all the choices however, for money's sake you can purchase some crystal keys to get some fancy loot and possibly some flat GP for your trouble. Another option is to just take the monster drop boxes in hopes you get some valuable loot you could either high-alch or sell to a shop.

Stronghold of Security

This is quite the no brainer for the old players of Runescape. Successfully completing the SOS will reward you with the stylish boots, 4 unique emotes and some extra cash (10,000gp).

• You can get to the Stronghold of Security by going ::home and using the Teleport nexus.
• From the teleport nexus go to Dungeons which should have the red exclamation mark on the left side of the menu.
• Page 4 of the Dungeons should be the home for Stronghold of Security.

Daily Login Reward

Another easy way to get some fast cash is to simply just login. A great addition to Zeah is that the server actually rewards your persistence to login. Simply hitting the X on the top right of your screen will take you to the logout screen and above logout should be the rewards button. Hitting the REWARD button will take you to the daily login screen to claim your reward

Squeal of Fortune

Go to the bottom of your screen and click on the wheel icon and you should be brought to a screen for Squeal of Fortune. You are given 2 of these spins every time you vote so make sure you vote every day for double the rewards.

Agility Pyramid

Agiliy Pyramid is a great way to get some early game GP and train Agility at the same time. Simply go to the Teleport Nexus at ::home go to the skilling tab, click agility and then agility pyramid should be the first option. Happy training!

Ironmen Gearing
