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:

    • Fish Stall (Trout)
    • Fish Stall (Swordfish)
    • Fish Stall (Monkfishh)
    • Fish Stall (Shark)
    • Fish Stall (Anglerfish)

    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.

    Training Skills

    Crafting

    The player "Death" is performing glassblowing outside of the Lovakengj building

    The best way for Ironman accounts to train Crafting consistently is with glassblowing. Note that you will have chances to cut gems for significantly faster experience but this is inconsistent. Below are the two best glassblowing options for Ironman Accounts.

    Slow Option (No Requirements)

    1. Using the Teleport Nexus --> Burthrope --> Go directly south from where you land until you see the mining/crafting area.
    2. Purchase Soda Ash and Buckets of Sand from Crafting Tutor (South of Home)
    3. Use Soda Ash or Bucket of Sand on the nearby furnace to create Molten Glass
    4. Click on Molten Glass and create highest glass item you can.
    5. Use the ;;empty command to clear your inventory and repeat.

    Using this method you can make about 800 glass items per hour.

    Faster Option (Requires 77 Magic)

    1. Have a bulk amount of Astral Runes, Air Runes, and Fire Runes in your inventory (Tip - Having a Staff of Air and a Tomb of Fire equipped makes it so you only need astral runes.)
    2. Using the Teleport Nexus --> Port Sarim --> Go directly south from where you land until you reach the bottom most dock.
    3. Purchase Soda Ash and Bucket of Sand from any of the Trader Crewmember
    4. Cast the Superglass Make spell to instantly turn your inventory into Molten Glass.
    5. Click on Molten Glass and create highest glass item you can.
    6. Either use the ;;empty command or sell all items back to the Crewmembers to clear your inventory and repeat.

    Using this method you can make about 1200 glass items per hour. (Note - You also receive exp for 120 casts of Superglass Make)

    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

    Mining

    AFK/Slower Method

    1. Levels 1-15: Copper/Tin
    2. Levels 15-40: Iron
    3. Levels 40-68: Gem Rocks
    4. Levels 68-77: Lava Flow Mine
    5. Levels 77-80: Concentrated Coal
    6. Levels 80-99: Concentrated Gold

    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.

    Magic

    A player casting Smoke burst at level 142 Skeletons in the Ape Atoll Dungeon

    The fastest way to train Magic is with Ancient magicks and Protect from Melee at the Ape Atoll Dungeon.

    • Get a minimum of level 62 Magic by casting normal splels (E.g. Wind Strike/Bolt/Blast/wave at Sand crabs)
    • Swap to Ancient magicks at the Arceuus building (North-west of home) at the Altar of the Occult
    • Purchase necessary runes in Burthrope, shop is east of Agility course.
    • Use the Teleport Nexus to travel to the Ape Atoll Dungeon.
    • Follow the path until you meet Lv. 142 Skeletons. Group them together, and barrage them.

    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. However, it can be extremely tedious to gather the secondaries necessary to make pouches, progress in the skill, and eventually summon a Pack Yak and Steel Titan. The following table shows Familiars with particularly easy secondaries to obtain, followed by detailed descriptions of how to get them.
