Ironman/Strategies

Money Making

Making money is very important due to the variety of shops Ironmen can access outside of the custom home shops. Ranging from early game gear, food, runes, and other useful tools it is important to have the funds required to purchase these items.

Thieving

Using the fishing stalls east of home, different tiers of fish can be stolen and sold to Dodgy Derek for XP and a profit. Stalls include:

Thieving Stalls


Piscarilius Fish Stalls

Fish Type		XP Per	GP Per
	Perfect Trout	698	2,000
	Perfect Swordfish	1185	3,000
	Perfect Monkfish	1863	4,000
	Perfect Shark	3810	7,500
	Perfect Anglerfish	6773	10,000




Slayer

Slayer is arguably the most important skill an Ironman can train. Progressing this skill will result in the passive accumulation of combat XP, resources, better gear and Money. The following are the main reasons why slayer is such a good form of money making:

• Alchables: Casting the High Alchemy spell on most items will convert that item into an amount of coins. Notable alchables received from slayer include: Armor pieces, weapons, jewelry and more.


• Slayer Points: Completing slayer tasks rewards slayer points. Achieving certain task milestones, such as 10 tasks in a row, reward bonus points on top of that. These slayer points can then be used to purchase a variety of items in the slayer rewards shop. Whether you use the items you worked hard for or sell them to players for GP is completely up to you.


• PVM / Bossing: Slayer is the quickest path to follow towards end game PVM. Whether your plan is to go straight towards level restricted content such as Cerberus (91 Slayer) or Alchemical Hydra (95 Slayer), or to just train combat efficiently for other challenges, slayer is a one-way street towards any goal on the PVM spectrum.



Hunter

For Ironmen, Hunter is a beneficial skill for one primary reason: Implings.

Implings offer a plethora of obtainable loot that will fill your pockets in no time.

Catching the 4 main implings: Ninja, Dragon, Crystal, and Kingly will almost always result in either instant profit or have a practical use in the future of your account.

Supply Gathering

Due to the inability to trade other players, resources such as food, skilling supplies, and more are important to gather out early on to better prepare you for future endeavors. The following resources are especially difficult to obtain as an Ironman, followed by some tips on effective methods to stock up on these items:

• Herblore Ingredients: Important for the creation of Overloads, Saradomin Brews, Super Restores, and more.


• Summoning Secondaries: Crucial to the advancement of the Summoning skill, which further results in the ability to summon familiars to store items, damage enemies, and more.


• Food: A must have for any player planning on reaching endgame PVM content.

Skills

Crafting

• Purchase Soda ash and buckets of sand from Ironman tutor (South of Home)
• Use Soda ash or Bucket of sand on a furnace to create Molten glass
• Click on Molten glass and ceate highest glass item you can.

Hunter

You can purchase necessary hunter tools at the Hunter shop in Yanille. Use the Teleport Nexus to get there. TIP: Unlock Huntsman before starting your Hunter training.

1. Levels 1-43: Capture Crimson swifts on the beach north of Oo'glog with a Bird snare
2. Levels 43-63: Use Falconry to capture Spotted and eventually Dark kebbits
3. Levels 63-77: Catch Red chinchompas with a Box trap
4. Levels 77-99: Capture Grenwalls with a Box trap

Prayer

This method doesn't involve any combat at all, but is considered substantially long as it involves leveling other skills to a high level.

• Obtain level 91 Hunter (See section above)
• Travel to Puro-Puro. Obtain jars and net.
• Capture Dragon and Kingly implings.
  • Dragon implings directly give bone loot. Kingly implings give Crystal keys, which in turn grant bone loot.
• Use bones on Chaos altar (wilderness) to save bones and get maximum experience




Herblore

The first step to Herblore is obtaining the herbs necessary to make potions. The foundation for obtaining these herbs is planting their respective herb seeds into herb patches, then harvesting the herbs afterwards. After getting 38 Thieving from the stalls at home, use the teleport nexus and teleport to the Draynor Market where you can pickpocket the Master Farmer. At least 38 Agility is recommended as well for a chance to receive double loot from one pickpocket.

Summoning

Summoning is an invaluable skill to train, due to the benefits familiars provide. It is trained by combining charms, shards, a pouch, and a secondary unique to each individual familiar.
