The Ironman Mode looks great - especially the ultimate option. I just wanted to throw in a few thoughts, though these may already have an answer to them.

- No Staking is mentioned, but fun duels should be allowed only if they give no experience (this can be a superior training method otherwise without the need for food - one of the biggest grievances on an Ironman)
- This would also allow Ironman access to the level 3 coordinate clue in the Obstacles arena
- There should be a poll option to determine whether Ironman accounts should have access to the free for all Clan Wars portal. As of current, upon entering and leaving it, your account's run energy is restored to 100%, lowered stats returned to normal**** skull lost, poison removed.
- Access to Player Owned Houses other than your own should be forbidden. If this is not plausible, experience from combat rings/pvp mode should be removed, and more should be taken into consideration (no access to friend's teak shelves, etc)
- I don't think this would be an issue since I can't imagine that the Ironman option on Oldschool is linked to the same RS3 account in any manner. But anyways, Oldschool Ironman accounts should still be able to trade on RS3, since a lot of us (myself included) purchase bonds for membership.

If I'm able to come up with more, I'll be sure to post again and/or edit this post.

Yes, please do something about the lvl 3 coord. in the duel arena. Seems very unfair to make people drop clues because of this.

@420 MI.G SWAG

Dragon scim is a rare drop from scorpia, therefore shops wouldn't sell that either. (according to your interpretation of that question)

I'd like a jmod to expand on this question, especially on buying runes from various shops.


The rule states that if an item is only obtained through monster drops, it can still be obtained from the shop as well. As long as it cant be crafted

I dont think people are getting it.., the thing is that we dont have SoulSplit, Turmoil, or even Overloads, corping wont be effective as it used to be beacuse the use of more supplies and banking more often..
If you nerf the divine shield it will be unfair for people who do corp to obtain a decent split..
Original Divine Shields stabilized at 500m-600m.
However, Nerfd Divine Shield might stable at 250m-350m because of that 5% reduction.
Its a big difference and might lead people not to corp in the future, as we dont have that many Bosses in the game atm high level PvMers might quit the game in results..
Its a true fact, people should take everything into consideration before they vote " NO "
just because they cant afford one or its too " Overpowered "?? like wat? its called DIVINE SHIELD for a reason.

Will vote yes for iron man aswell just to keep game going.

Yes I do, but I don't agree with Spirit shields in any form. They de-value current shields from wilderness bosses/mage book etc.

Really don't want to encourage people to edge towards spirit shields when they have plenty of other alternatives for drops to be considered.

A yes vote just generally means everyone will rush towards spirit shields and it doesn't matter how rare or how hard corp will be, they will be put into the game slowly (even if it is just a 1 or 2 a day). They are just now what this game needs.

Where'd this all come from that people wanted Divine buffed/reworked?

I'm pretty sure I read a few "No spirit shields/sigils" in the last blog postings...?

what's the point in Wards from wildy bosses if they're to be outdone months later?

Please reconsider drop list and place new items instead of sigils or the vote is a NO from me despite loving Corp.

the wildy shields are already dead content, absolutly noone is killing the solo bosses (especially with orion insta hop (teams can now hop all worlds in 5-10mins))

Btw the ss wont have any influence on the range shield (the more expensive one) and the mage shield is worse than a mage's book(botting item) anyways

@ppl who say they will devalue the dfs:
you still need dfs for steels, miths, blacks and kbd and for 50% of the other slayer monsters with low def to get the maxed str bonus ( with high att lvl( low lvls could not afford a ss anyways))
And who the f*** has to sell a 20M shield which is a lot better in the most cases for a ss
Ppl who can afford a ss have tons of cash anyways
The dragon defender would have ruined the dfs price because the dfs wouldnt be the best slot item for str anymore(same str as d defender but significant less att) 1. German Trimmed Comp Cape Pre EOC

1.)Elixir could easily be used on a Crystal shield or Ward from Wildy boss' to create a much better shield.

2.) Elixir on Crystal bow to make an Ethereal/Corporeal Bow.

3.) Dragon Warhammer/Dragon Crossbow.

4.) any form of new helmet considering when not slaying you have any barrows for defence or a Neits for offence. Not really much alternative to a Neits, unless you opt for accuracy with penance helm.

the list goes on this is just a few ideas I came up with off the top of my head... really isn't hard to rethink what this game needs and what people "want" the community has because spent too much time in RS3 or pre RS3. This is a new game not a re-run... geez.


And Xyzd, , all the more better to opt for my idea of making these shields more useful via the Elixir?

Just think we shouldn't add stuff for the sake of it. Just think about what this game has already and ways to improve and add onto it. Not just bulk in a new item as often as we can as that's what the main game does and is too much equipment in that game for its own good.

1./2. why crystal items?
crystal items can be bought in a shop without any afford , thats STUPID!
we dont need best slot shop gear(chaotics ruined all gwd and slayer weapons, port gears ruined nex gears) not again lol

elixir on male ward would be a good idea altough i liked the design of the arc much more :P

3. what would be the specs?
drag cbow cant be valueable(acb must be better(lvl70) and is just worth 15M)
warhammer(sth like statius warhammer spec - bgs useless? , any other spec --> useless)

4. a new helmet is really needed - hopefully we will get few more maxed lvl bosses and one of this will drop a better helm ( best att helm = shop item - thats dumb!) 1. German Trimmed Comp Cape Pre EOC

I'm not sure if it has been said already--I got to this a bit late and there are tons of responses--but I would be more than willing to sacrifice all of the possession in my bank, and whatever equipment I might be carrying at the moment, to hope on the Iron Man thing. I saw it written that it would be unfair for existing accounts to be allowed to join, but to be honest, a fair portion of all have already "started over" when we came back to Old School with our existing accounts. While I have made a couple of trades, for the most part, I was playing the game pretty close to Iron Man mode, without even being aware that there was such a thing.

Could it be possible to allow existing accounts to just have their possessions wiped away, instead of having to begin anew? I suspect that those would do not really want to Iron Man it, will abandon that style of play, even if they are already of high level.

Just a thought.
