Seeing as iron man accounts won't have access to the entire NMZ shop, what about making shops personalized for iron men? Those items that are gathered from shops which no players buy but mostly bots would make it even harder for iron men to buy. For example bucket of sand/soda ash/seaweed. Bots have infested the place which for an iron man, equals to buying 1-2 items every world hop.

Iron LadyJan... yeah can't wait. I am assuming I will be able to use one of my RS3 accounts that has never been members before??

To make her members, and start a new Old School account?

MistressJan, may come back to life :D

No. No you can't. RC quests are abyss miniquest, the second quest in the proselyte series, eyes of glouphrie, and What Lies Below. You can quest the majority of 1-38, but beyond that it would take a really long time to get 60 rc from lamps and tears, plus you're missing out on the astrals for superglass make, nats for alching, laws for teles/portals, and cosmics for charging air orbs.
Also my initial thought on this account was to train crafting via d'hides. But you don't really realize how frickin long it takes to kill 27 dragons (with looting bag) bank them for just 27 hides... 1674 crafting xp per 15 minute trip. That doesn't even include the time it takes to tan and craft them. And as far as long term crafting goes, that's so ridiculously bad. Good luck getting 85 crafting for a fury at 7k xp/h when you factor in the time to get the hides.


You are forgetting quests that give you XP lamps, as well as genies and exams. I never really trained RC and I have 60, so I'm talking from experience.

Dragons are commonly killed for hides and bones; there is nothing unusual about this, it is a very common moneymaking method. I also know several people who DIYed prayer and crafting this way - both in the real 07 and now. Besides crafting xp, you're also getting ranged/melee xp while killing those dragons, as well as bones for prayer xp; why are you discarding all this?

why would anyone want to go ironman mode? basically limits you with no added value. Why make it unable to get loot drops. Its fine Jagex oldschool Runescape is just dying more and more each day. Please continue to give us pointless updates, instead of attempting to revitalize the game for current players. You guys dont have time to even look at appeals for blackmarks ( mine have been pending on my main for 2 weeks now) but you have time to come up with ironmen armour suits. and then in typical fashion made it dead content before it was even released.

I really love the Ironman update, and im definetly going to play it!
I understand that Jagex want to implent the feature asap,
although some options deserve to be polled first...
- The NMZ restriction is never polled this way and many players disagree. (So do I)
- No bank acces for ultimate seems a bit too much challence (Poll this before updating such things?)

The armor seems cool but players really want a kind of icon in their chat-name,
like RuneScape 3 is getting in their Ironman update... (Why not polled this?)

Perhaps there should be a one time option to start iron man mode on a already used account, but in doing so would wipe the character clean (clear out stats, items, quests, etc.), and would have to start over again from the tutorial . I think this would be useful for people who have a extra unused character lying around, that they would like to use again, but do not want to create another character :) .
