Today we had a alch value update on adamant platebody. As I know we do not have changed alch value off the rune platebody in rs3, I still believe we should do so in oldschool.
I mean a rune platebody alch for 39k while rune platelegs, rune plateskirt, rune 2h sword all alch for 38.4k each. Not only is there 600 gp different but the store sells it for 84500 gp.
I do not know a reasonable price, all up to you and the players.

I know ppl voted for ironman mode but it's lacking. A dedicated outfit? Some ppl are still begging for some kind of icon. Arguments over whether certain things should or shouldn't be blocked. The final decision on what the ironman challenge is... whatever. The challenge is whatever challenge players put themselves to.

Like "pures" ironman players should be able to show their items and stats as proof of what they've accomplished. And that's all, because that's more than enough. Much better than a "dedicated mode" why not have stats that actually apply to this challenge?

Banking, teleporting, trade with other players, minigames, all things that some but not everyone agrees whether or not to be considered ironman things. So a compromise mode is going to decide instead of players choosing which things can be done, and there will be no way to prove for example that you got so far without ever using NMZ, or teleporting, or any other related statistic you want. So I'm disappointed. I really wanted to see a new stats roll for people who set such creative challenges for themselves and the ironman modes don't do that.

There should be a way to prove that you are an iron man, other than having some useless armor set wasting your inventory space.

It could be chat icon, emote, or maybe your name in different color?

The question of only using NMZ for Imbued was not polled and therefore this is a joke! How do you expect Ironmen to max? There is no way people are going to mine that amount of essence or sit at the shop for 100 hours to get crafting supplies.

This needs to be polled and it will fail. people play a game to complete it and enjoy a challenge but this is too far and I know it needs to be "GrindScape" but its just not right when the Shops poll failed.

NMZ is a shop, we buy stuff with points but its no different to using BA to get tons of items like on the LiveStream Last night...


Poll This or you wont get any many Ironmen sticking with this for as long....
We have a chance to create a good mode which after many years has an end.
You don't want someone to get 99 in everything and be stuck on 90rc and needs to spend 300 Hours mining P Ess to complete the game!

It's around 1.47M Pure Essences to get 99 Runecrafting. This would take myself who can only play a limited amount of time about 300 days to mine.

I think it would take around a month or two doing NMZ.

I think buying crafting supplies would also take around 140 hours buying from the charter ships, this would take around half the time and you would be gaining some Combat Experience and having fun.

Ironman is about making the game harder but also its about being Single player, if you take away the NMZ for Pure Essence and Crafting Supplies then you should make instance shops so we don't have to hope and buy 2 supplies and hop again, i want to actually play the game and not just hope because BOTS are taking all the supplies i can get from SINGLE PLAYER mini game.

I am only asking it be polled in the spirit of the 2007 game!

Can everyone who agrees please show there support as things will change if enough people ask for this! ! !
