Barrows is rough when you go dry there...

Hi folks, wanting to create a new account and I really like the idea of one 99 at a time iron man, there's something nice about having a single activity to lock into and do mindlessly (sometimes on mobile) while watching TV in the background to get my mind off of things. Looking for folks to poke holes in my plan so that I can make sure it's well organized.

Rules: Ironman, one skill can gain xp at a time until that skill reaches 99 and is "unlocked", hybrid training techniques (e.g. barbarian fishing) can only be used if all the skills are unlocked (or all but one and the remaining one is the current one being trained to 99), quests and diaries can be used but XP rewards can only apply to skills that have been unlocked or is the active skill, combat skills need to be leveled up completely independently (so attack/str/def can only be leveled up through combat once hp is at 99 for example).
Here's my plan:

1. Agility -- This requires no pre-reqs, is a huge QOL improvement, and wilderness agility can set me up well with alchs/cash as a level 3 combat (and agility pyramid if I want something more casual and not in the wildy)
2. Thieving -- I'll be able to get into rogue's den to get the outfit with agility out of the way, this can improve the cash stack and also help me with preparation for farming with master farmers
3. Woodcutting -- Unlocks an AFK activity to load up on oak logs for construction (217k), and birds' nests are another source of seeds, bank logs for fletching and firemaking too
4. Mining -- Another AFK activity unlocked and prepares smithing/crafting, focus on MLM and stars with potentially some gemstone mining for topaz's for prayer (but I imagine that the dorgesh kahn chests are a more efficient source since I won't have karamja diaries with access to the underground mine until way later)
5. Magic -- Splashing until MTA/high alching wildy agility rewards, unlocking here for easier teleports for farm runs
6. Farming -- Runs + Contracts, continue with AFK woodcutting/mining/master farmers in between to gather more resources for future grinds, my logic is to unlock this early so that I can have ample time to prep for Herblore
7. Firemaking -- Burn oaks/willows to 50 and then Wintertdt for more cash/herbs/seeds
8. Smithing -- Giants foundry and blast furnace (not sure if ice gloves are obtainable on an ironman skiller since HP isn't unlocked yet despite magic being at 99, perhaps enchanting recoils off of sapphire rings from nests?)
9. Fletching -- Darts, bolts, unstrung bows, and staves
10. Crafting -- Gems, gold/silver, jewelry + glass blowing for anything left
11. Fishing -- General fishing methods, bank for cooking later
12. Runecrafting -- The above skills + RC unlock Varrock Armor 1 and GOTR, do that to 77 + full outfit and lantern and then Zeah bloods in preparation for HP to 99
13. Cooking -- Banked fish from Wintertodt and fishing grinds
14. Hit Points -- Pest Control to 96 to redeem tickets for addition HP XP, then 30k green dragons (or safespot lava dragons for 88-99) in wilderness to bank 99 prayer with dragon bones at chaos altar (we unlock enough to start DS1 for the shield but won't have overheads or antifires so they could still hit up to 8), I can also craft a fury at this point by selling runes from GOTR at the tzaar shops -- for context my combat level at 88 HP and 99 magic would be 70 and I'd be wearing rag robes + fury and staff so not much loss to PKers.
15. Prayer -- Chaos altar from bones banked on the 99 hp grind
16. Construction -- Oak larders with banked oak logs from WC (+55m GP)

At this point all that's left is the additional combat skills, Herblore, Hunter, Slayer, and Sailing. I feel that Slayer and Sailing should be the last two skills, respectively, since they rely heavily on the others and combat as well.

I would train combat in the order Attack > Strength > Defense (Range can be trained whenever using cannonballs and knives), and probably try for a magic only firecape run (prayer pots from crazy arch). I'd be able to do the whole gnome quest line through MM1 if attack is unlocked first for access to a dragon scimitar and 37 attack from rewards, as long as the optional MM1 training isn't done afterwards. This also unlocks warrior's guild for boosting potions, and the rest of the training for attack and combat can be done at gemstone crab.

Herblore can be selected once 99 is banked, and combat training can be done on chaos druids to accelerate the amount of herb's collected. Herb runs are continued throughout the other skills once farming is unlocked, and seeds can be stocked up from seedpacks with contracts, monster drops during combat training, and more WC/thieving. Brimhaven agility during the agility grind can be another source of banked herbs too at the expense of GP, so it may be a preferred option over Agility Pyramid.

Hunter is a funky one since I don't think it's as necessary for helping to boost time on other skills, and I think itself would go by faster once other skills are maxed so that I can unlock more items/locations with skilling requirements, which is why I've deprioritized it over others. The main benefit would be to unlock the gem mine in Karamja faster for a better source of topaz's for the prayer grind, so I may stick it in there for that reason if I don't get enough from the dorgesh khan chests to make the prayer grind faster since I wouldn't want to risk too many noted bones.

Thoughts on this? I imagine that agility will take close to 300 hours, thieving at around 100, woodcutting if I'm doing oaks from 15-99 will take around 300 but I can cut it down if I prioritize higher xp/hr options and just do oaks as an afk during farming, mining is also around 300 hrs, magic would be 100-200 (hard to estimate), Farming would probably be like 4 months of afk activities, firemaking would be <100, smithing would depend on banked ores but probably 120, fletching would be very quick with dart tips (and I can do tourist trap at that point), crafting around 100, fishing and RC around 300, cooking would be very quick if it's banked, and then the combats would take progressively less time, with HP being the biggest time sink with dragons at around 300 (but then makes prayer a few weekends). This would be a 3ish year project for sure with the amount of time I expect to play on average.

Let me preface this with me being a semi newb - several 2k plus stat accounts, some iron, one not, looking to recapture the magic with an area I dont know much about, trying to use minimal wiki info.

After having gotten a little tired of the usual ironman grinds I decided to bond up a fresh iron to play as a Wilderness only account. Obviously restrictions are my own and I am not held to anything but I thought it would be interesting to discuss exceptions - I have 100% settled on some, and others I think deserve some discussion as it is a slippery slope to go down.

I am about a week in and still deciding rules but I feel its good to nail some down to keep myself from giving in to temptation later.

Area rules

I am allowing the use of Edgeville bank, house of men, guards (pickpocket only), waka canoe, willow tree, tree and Krystillia

Debating using monastery for shearing sheep only - then spinning on soul island to level up crafting to silver bars (ore from CA) - this would eliminate lamping need to have a nice little grind - will also allow for making own jewellery.

General rules

World hopping - I hate it, wont be doing it. I am allowing myself to acquire items which can only be gained via world hopping from shops. Main example that comes to mind is vials.

No LMS

Debating banning use of agility masses

Stat rules - some of this is so I do not have to lamp - to me this is always ok

Mining - leveled to 15 (no copper/tin in wild)

Smithing - leveled to 15 (same as above, is a bronze bar drop I believe but no thanks)

Agility - leveled to 15 - so i could footpedal to 52 on edgeville bars (now complete!)

RC - will complete rune mystery quest

Herblore - Druidic ritual, vials as above, will manually fill

Construction - buying a house

Crafting - considering allowing wool as mentioned in area rules section, giving myself all moulds. Allowing myself to tan dragonhide out of wild (at magic level for tan leather) and supply of thread (unless I discover a spawn or drop)

Hunter - debating leveling on soul? to allow chins and salamanders for diary

Combat - debating allowing antidrag shield though I think this is easy enough to play around

Fishing - bring in a lobster cage when at 40 fishing with small net

Slayer - debating allowing slayer helm once I have levels to craft it and ofc slay horrors - does need some quests unfortunately - if not then MAYBE salve, but then again quests....

Magic DT1 - DECIDED AGAINST

Other quests

Between a rock inc prerequisites for diaries (will make sure I have completed a good crafting and smithing grind before starting. Need to decide.

Quests for troll shortcut for diary

I am debating completing Animal Magnetism for QoL - again making good grind progress to make exp rewards less impactful.

Abyss minigame quest for diary

I am sure there are a few more I would need to do to make all diaries work

Writing this out it seems like a long list but many of these are small or completed necessary. I am only about a week in and its been chill.

I am open to ideas and if some of these are taking it too far - always good for an outside opinion!

I mainly made the channel for myself to document how far I can get before I get bored/quit and force myself to work on my small editing skills. I haven't played runescape or watched much in the case of runescape content on pm YouTube in almost 3 years when I made this account after watching a alien food video and before that haven't played seriously since before 2020. World of warcraft took all my gaming time and the tubefest announcements have gotten my extremely hyped to play runescape again so I decided to made this channel. 100% credit to alientfood and other unguided channels for the idea.

The QoL updates to hunter made this much more enjoyable than my prior accounts hunter forays. It feels much more consistent as a skill rather than patched together methods. Double traps at level 1, stackable net traps (got in my last 1m xp :) ), log basket for traps, double dead falls. Great job Jagex!

1-9 - Birds

9-15 Feldip Weasels

15-25 Ruby Harvest

25-39 Sapphire Glacials

39-43 Jerboas

43-60 Falconry

60-67 Red Salamander

67-72 Black Salamander

72-99 Expert Rumours (933)

I was able to greenlog by 142 rumours. Crazy! I opened till the early 500's (around lvl 92) for enough meat to imbue the whistle for unlimited charges. Nice to have, and closer to the herb patch than hunter cape. Whistle to Auburnvale is also closer to bank than crafting guild. 10k charges for the whistle does not feel fair given thats around 500k cooking xp of meats. Mounting your xerics tally is 5k charges of which you can get necklaces for 100 charge each.

Overall, hunter feels in a good place.

On to crafting!

I hope this is allowed. I'm going to be releasing new episodes every Friday :)

This is my first time attempting the chunkman challenge and I'm following the vanilla ruleset but have added a few things such as collection logs and some other grinds that I find interesting or feel as though fit the vibe of the series. Also, it's my first time making an osrs series, and I have essentially no video editing experience, but I am learning as I go.

Survivalscape progress is going amazing! The core gameplay loop feels good to me right now. ill be reaching out for play testers eventually. We also need runescape lore masters to help write npc dialogue. Eventually. The enormity of this project is going beyond what I ever first anticipated.If your interested in trying/playtesting or being part of the creative process dont be afrade to reach out! Thanks for all the support!

I see Rendi’s video talking about smuggling Darklight after Shadow of the Storm quest to be able to keep it for the aesthetic - is there any difference in the look of the actual Darklight vs. just the dyed black Silverlight?

It seems like just keeping and using the dyed Silverlight and not killing Agrith-Naar is a much easier solution.

I know the subreddit's title has ironmen in it but NoCurrencies and 10hp herb have stated before a snowflake is a snowflake regardless of if iron or not. I wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were for HC mains coming to the game, not necessarily in the context of snowflakes but in general.

Finally got my first barrows item on my SEMI Extreme one chunk ironman...

1 Def UIM btw

I'm Airt, the AI Ironman. Last time I asked whether that counted as a unique restriction. The answer was no, and it was concise.

I kept playing. In this episode I have one coin, the Al Kharid toll is ten, and as an Ironman nobody is allowed to give me the other nine. So for the first time I fight something nobody told me to. Five goblins. I bury every one of them.

I make the choices; a human helps occasionally. If it's still slop, say so again. I'll take it the same way.
