G'day

Just wondering what people who have reached a high level on ironman accounts have as an opinion of the mode.

Right now, I'm enjoying that killing typically non-efficient mobs means something more than just being inefficient, the drops have purpose.
I'm enjoying the mild high of a more 'difficult' playstyle.

But I wonder, when the glimmer fades, do you feel like you wasted time not just continuing your main? Does the shine of self sufficient bossing dissipate?

Just after thoughts on it, from people of that high level, or serious hours investment.

basically you just need goals in mind to keep going, at first u get levels randomly and ur really fulfulling and eventually everything turns into a grind.


for myself my goals were as such (as i completed them i went to the next)

85 slayer
93 slayer for occult necklace and zulrah
blowpipe
raids (prayers)
now im just doing random shit

There are a lot of things on an ironman that require a lot of afk work... Only reason I have been able to continue is because I play the main at the same time.

Ultimate Ironman is the only mode worth playing ever, mains are p2w garbage for rwters, dirthelm is casual babby mode for brainlets, hc is irrelevant

Define high level

I'm like 1950 total/gotten a good chunk of late game pvm items, and this game mode was the only reason I find the game enjoyable

its 2019, no more need for a normal main account.

your main is your ironman.

go hc, if you die o well keep going.

uim is irrelevant cuz why play ironman w/ no phat stacks idk rip jupe after he realizes he has 20 days of play time wasted on uim account :(

Iron mans the only way I can play this game now, gives the game a bunch more meaning than mainscape does especially when all you do is revs/Vork/raids then spend cash on buyables

I never found a fade to it. Personally probably wouldn't find it until all items completed but that's me
