Ironman is out!

[Beric]

Ironman Mode - How to Start

To create an Ironman account, right-click on the 'randomise' button in the 'Design your Hero' section of the character creation screen to unlock an 'advanced' section of the interface.

 

From there, you'll be able to select Ironman or Hardcore Ironman mode for your new account.

 

Ironman accounts have the following restrictions:

• No player-to-player trades
• No Grand Exchange trades, except Bonds
• No picking up drops from other players
• No Lootshare
• No XP or loot in PvP
• No multiplayer minigames
• Most facilities in other players' houses cannot be used
• No assist or accept aid
• Dungeoneering is solo only
• No Sinkholes or Warbands
• No Treasure Hunter
• No Wicked Pouch from Solomon's Store
• No Refer a Friend
• No Social Slayer
• XP gain from clan citadel plots is reduced
• No benefit will be received from group buffs, abilities or spells cast by others
• Any group abilities or spells cast by an Ironman players will only affect the caster
• You must deal more than half the total damage to a monster before you will receive drops from it.
• Combat XP is reduced if you do less than 100% of the damage needed to kill an enemy (i.e. if someone else is fighting it as well)

Ironman accounts come with titles and chat badges to show off their prestigious status, and there are Ironman hiscores to compete on. The real reward, though, is knowing that every hard-won victory is yours alone.

 

Hardcore Ironman accounts take the challenge one step further: all the restrictions of an Ironman account…with permanent death.

 

If you die in Hardcore Ironman mode, that's it. Your account will no longer be playable, and all gear, items, money and currency - including any RuneCoins or items purchased in Solomon's Store - will be gone for good.

 

Note that 'Safe' activities carry no risk of permanent death.

 

Hardcore Ironman players can purchase two extra lives from Mr Ex in Edgeville: one at total level 1000, and another at 1600.

 

The first costs 100,000 coins, and the second 10 million. Once these two extra lives have been purchased, you can't get any more for that account.

 

This is an optional safety net, in case you want to protect your investment in your Hardcore character while keeping death dangerous.

 

Mr Ex can sell you a jar of divine light, which will change a Hardcore Ironman character to an Ironman character. He'll also sell you a book of diplomacy, which will change an Ironman account to a normal account. Note that all changes of both types are irreversible.

 

Finally, please note that Jagex will not reverse the death of a Hardcore Ironman character for any reason - even in the event of connection issues, or account hijacking. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you use the RuneScape Authenticator to ensure that your account is as secure as possible.

ain't about that life

[Beric]

I had forgotten how terribly slow divination is.

[Babylon Sky]

Good luck to those taking this challenge    

 

Btw James you look pretty     how will you ever make it, without trying to dress your girl up.      

[Tyxi]

I wonder if the Jar of Divine Light would be automatically used upon the last available death of a hxc Ironman player?

Jagex has difficulty with what "permanent death" is.

[James]

I made an ironman account and now Jagex is insisting the login information I used for it (twice, in fact) no longer exists. Though the account is still in our clan chat roster.

I also made a hardcore ironman account. We might have fun with that and see how far I get before I die and stuff.

Not really interested in this update, just seems like a way for Jagex to increase "accounts created" and to make more money since you have to pay for membership again on your ironman account? (I think that's right?)

Correct.

[Deathstar]

Sounds like how runescape used to be minus trading.

 

It's basically how people like urza285 played runescape.

 

so it should be called - "UrzaScape"

Correct.

Well then I am not going to be making an account, money grubbing jagex.

[MiniMoonPies]

Not really interested in this update

Ditto   

For some reason, this update reminds me of Bear Grylls though. 

[Grave Wizard]

Isn't this a copy of how Diablo III has hardcore mode?

[Steven]

Isn't this a copy of how Diablo III has hardcore mode?

Just like how Diablo copied from hundreds of other games that had a hardcore mode before it?

 

It's not a new idea, and the concept hardly changes from game to game.

[James]

You don't need P2P.

[Maggie]

You don't need P2P.

 

You don't but it has more benefits. F2P sucks lol
