  1. Ironman Maxing Guide Welcome to my complete guide to making your Ironman the best it can be. Ironmen cannot trade any other players or use any of the many shops available to normal players, so it provides an interesting challenge where you have to get every item you want by yourself. Where do I start? Same as a normal Elyx account. Use the command ::starter or ::refer-<name> to get a starter package containing some gear and a weapon of your choice that helps a ton with leveling early combat stats. Are there any shops I can use? Yes! At Home there are just a few shops that Ironmen are able to use. Two Ironmen specific shops can be opened by talking to the Iron Man Tutor at home. First Ironman Store This has your basic skilling supplies and some armor for training combat stats. Herblore Ironman Store This has Herblore secondaries so you don't have to go collect them. Very big time saver. Boss Points Store This is where things start getting good. Each time you kill a boss you get a number of Boss Points depending on the difficulty. Earn enough boss points and you can buy things like Elite Void, Rune Pouch, Imbuement Scrolls, Overload Potions, and Ring of Wealth! Slayer Shop The only other shop Ironmen have access to is the Slayer Shop which has amazing rewards such as the Blood Fury, Slayer Helmets, and Pet Mystery Box. Where to start? After gearing up your character its time to start training those stats! Take your starter weapon with you and teleport to one of the training locations like Rock Crabs or Experiments until you have maybe base 70-80 combat stats. Early game for Ironmen can be a bit difficult since we cannot buy the best supplies from the stores and the supplies we can buy are expensive early on. If you ever need some Blood Money you can ::vote and use your vote tickets on Blood Money caskets to earn you a few hundred thousand BM per casket. Doing the Thieving skill at home can also earn small amounts of Blood Money early on. Another easy source for Blood Money is by collecting Clue Scrolls from monsters or while skilling. Each clue scroll rewards you with Blood Money and combining all 3 clue scrolls into a Master Clue Scroll gives even more money! Now that you have some basic combat stats and a little bit of money, buy some food if you need it and head to the Green Dragons in the wilderness. Teleports -> Wilderness -> East Dragons Collect all the bones you can and bank them. Once you have a couple inventories saved, withdraw a full inventory of Dragon Bones and teleport to KBD (Bosses -> King Black Dragon) and run South-West until you find the Chaos Altar. Use the bones on the altar for massive prayer XP. Now you are ready to start slayer! Slayer is a wonderful skill to train for Ironmen. You will be able to pick up various skilling supplies as well as Slayer Keys which you can use to open a chest at home for great early to mid-game rewards such as Barrows items, whips, furys, etc. One long-term goal to work towards is to buy all the Slayer Helms and upgrade them into the Twisted Slayer Helm which gives attack bonuses for all styles of combat; even off task! If you want to know more about how to train slayer check out this guide: Once you obtain a decent amount of gear and unlock Prayer Potions it is a good idea to start farming the Giant Mole boss both for Boss Points as well as the Niffler pet. Niffler picks up all monster drops and is able to bank them upon request. This pet is huge for Ironmen since we rely quite a bit on these supplies dropped by monsters. Skilling Eventually you will need to start making your own supplies like Prayer Pots or Sara Brews to make your slayer trips last longer. You may even want to train Fishing and Cooking to make your own food. There are plenty of guides on the forums for how to train these skills , but one early goal to set is to get 38 Herblore so you can make your own Prayer Pots. All of the materials for this are available from the Ironman store, you just have to make them yourself. For Ironmen some of the skills can be a bit daunting to try to train since we cannot just buy supplies from other players to train the skill. These skills are: Runecrafting, Smithing, Herblore, Fletching, and Crafting. Here are the best methods I have found to train each of those skills. Runecrafting/Smithing/Fletching Kill Gargoyles located at Slaying -> Slayer Tower for a chance at Pure Essence, Gold Ore, Steel Bars, and Mithril Bars. If you smith the Steel and Mithril Bars into Dart Tips or Unfinished Bolts then you can use those for some Fletching XP as well. Just buy the feathers from the Ironman store. Crafting The best crafting method would be cutting gems but since the only way to acquire lots of gems is from raids we need to find out another method. Luckily the Ironman store has supplies for glassblowing. Buy a Glassblowing Pipe, Buckets of Sand, and Soda Ash then head to Al Kharid (Skilling -> Al Kharid Tanning). Bring Buckets of Sand and Soda ash in your inventory to the Furnace to make Molten Glass which you then use to make glass items for XP. Quite the slow and boring grind but its doable. Herblore The best method for leveling Herblore is to just make as many Prayer Potions as you can since Ironmen can freely buy the materials needed for them from the store. If you are able to to raids you will receive large amounts of herbs to train Herblore, otherwise its best to try and Farm the herbs yourself since getting them from monster drops isn't very reliable. End Game Now that you have trained all your skills up and hopefully Maxed your character, start setting goals to acquire specific items and work towards those one at a time. Most items are going to be obtained from bosses so here are a list of bosses to try in order to build up your character. Cerberus Can drop 3 magical crystals used to empower Dragon Boots, Ranger Boots, or Infinity boots Kraken Drops Trident of the Seas which is a FREE magic training method for Ironmen. Really nice upgrade mid-game. Also drops the Kraken Tentacle which can be combined with a whip to make one of the best melee weapons. Demonic Gorilla Drops all of the Zenyte jewellery. These can also be upgraded in the Fortifying Flame. Zulrah Drops the coveted Toxic Blowpipe, Toxic Staff of the Dead, and Trident of the Swamp. Toxic Blowpipe and Trident of the Swamp are both great weapons for starting Raids. After getting a few or more of these drops you can go onto the harder bosses like Vorkath, Alchemical Hydra, or even start raids with anyone doing them! Good luck to everyone on Maxing your characters and getting the best loot out there!
  2. Woodcutting Guide Hello and welcome to my woodcutting guide! Here I'll provide everything you need to know to get 99 Woodcutting! First, talk to the Tool Leprechaun at Home and buy an Iron Axe, Black Axe, Mithril Axe, Adamant Axe, and Rune Axe. The required level for these is listed below. Required Woodcutting Level for Axes Bronze Axe - 1 Iron Axe - 1 Steel Axe - 6 Black Axe - 11 Mithril Axe - 21 Adamant Axe - 31 Rune Axe - 41 Dragon Axe - 61 Woodcutting XP Rates Normal Tree 750 xp Oak Tree 1125 xp Willow Tree 2025 xp Maple Tree 3000 xp Yew Tree 5250 xp Magic Tree 7500 xp Redwood Tree 11400 xp Next we can start training Woodcutting! Start by using the Teleport interface and selecting Skilling > Camelot Trees Now chop down 4 of the regular trees to get to level 15. Congrats. Now its time to equip the black axe move on to Oak Trees. Luckily there are 2 Oak Trees close by! Chop down 10 of these until you get to level 30. Now equip the mithril hatchet and run north to the willow trees. There are a number of willow trees to the north of Camelot to keep you busy! This time you need to cut down 24 willows to get to 45 Woodcutting. Once leveled up head directly east to the Maple Trees and equip the Rune Axe. Directly north of the Camelot bank are quite a few Maple Trees that you will need to chop down next. Chopping 71 logs should be enough to get you all the way to 60 Woodcutting. Now we can move on to the Woodcutting Guild. Teleport to the Woodcutting Guild using the Teleport interface and selecting Skilling > Woodcutting Guild then click the gate to your left. Once inside follow the path to the west until you find the patch of 5 Yew Trees. There is a bank close by if you want to save the logs for Fletching or Firemaking. 180 Yew Logs should give enough experience to get to level 75. Just north of the Yew Trees are 8 Magic Trees that you will be cutting until 90 Woodcutting. This is the first section of the guide that requires a bit of a grind. Cut down 552 Magic Logs until you get to 90 Woodcutting. North of the Magic Trees are ladders to the Redwood Trees. Use the ladders to climb to the top. Now comes the final stretch! Just 675 Redwood Logs and you should make it to 99 Woodcutting! Congratulations!
