A few weeks ago, I sent out a strawpoll asking you all what series you'd be most interested in watching, and the *#1 result* was an Ironman Tips & Tricks video. I've compiled nearly *60 Tips* so far, and to keep the videos to a digestible length, I've split up the first series into 15-tip segments. After low-level, we'll move on to medium, and so on.

[@Wool_Scarf]

Timestamps are common but literally summarizing the whole video is underrated. GJ on the quality!

[@TheFX]

Update: I added chapters to the description, so you should be able to hover over the play bar to see where each tip starts!

@@TheFX just getting here but I only just started as Ironman and learned I knew nothing about this game so thanks. Really helped me get a proper start, instead of just killing rock crabs for hours

[@JohnSmith-if7kx]

Tip: Don't get too attached to your cat, as it will make it harder to trade it in for death runes later.

[@TheFX]

Once you look them in the eyes, it's all over.

[@I3uttermilk]

dont even think about giving her or him a name

[@Labyrinth6000]

But those evil spices for evil stew are still helpful?

[@ForeverJade.D]

Wait where can I trade it in for death runes? It’s sat in my bank since I got it lol, and my mage pure is broke.

[@cs1234512345]

@@ForeverJade.D In West Ardougne you can use him on any Civillian (once fully grown) for 100 death runes (200 if Ardy medium is completed). This only works for fully grown cat, and if your cat has turned into a hellcat you can use a bucket of milk on him to turn him back into a normal cat. I know this was asked a while ago but I'll reply in case this helps anyone else!

[@sicariiarumosrs5387]

I 100% did not expect the bonus tip. It also raises so many questions about my diet.... Great stuff! Can't wait for the next one!

commenting for the algorithm. Great video man

[@TheFX]

Thanks, you're the best :P.

[@joedude967]

This is so oddly specific when it comes to picking up random items during said quest---not gonna remember ANY of that. But thank you for the general tips! Made my first ironman account a couple days ago, been playing very casually on mobile🤗

[@iHogle]

feel free to add me if you want! I just got back into osrs again, RSN: iH o g l e :D

[@TheFX]

I was aiming to come up with some more obscure tips so I'm not just regurgitating everything all the other guides out there list.

[@joedude967]

@@TheFX Well you did a good job at that, I'll definitely be looking through your video a few times to jog my memory about stuff. I'm a little demotivated as I got PK'd last night selling holy symbols to the bandit trader in wildy😭 30K worth. I'm probably just gonna give a bond to my ironman from my main so i can start slayer. Thanks again!😁

[@joedude967]

@@iHogle okay! I'm not on too often, but my ironman name is 'Iron Stamp' and my main is 'Braulick' 😁

[@EJHigz]

@TheFX Just a tip for the early thieving tip, Kourend isn't the best place if you have a slight chance of being caught. This is because the eastern most tile on the north side of ardy bakery is 100% safe from any aggro. So you can loot an entire inventory whilst AFKing.

[@KIRI77]

where is that

[@Nikoslam83]

Ye where is that❤

[@OSRS_KQs]

Tip: You can make snakeskin boots/hat/shield by killing the hoop snakes on fossil island. That's what I did.

[@trash6960]

Ty for the tip sir

[@ethanwasme4307]

here's me spending an hour killing snakes in the minigame for an hour

[@FenerAttack]

Incredible video super glad to be subscribed now!

[@TheFX]

Thank you! I'll keep 'em coming.

[@Trick_Pony]

8:26 NO, the bast place to steal cakes is on ardougne bakery stall under the npc that sells cakes etc, you never get caught there!

[@bjornvanderlande7491]

An even better alternative to snakeskin boots are the shayzien boots 5, you can easily heal guards to 86 favour (or if you have higher stats fight organised crime (great loot btw)) and then kill the soldiers in the fighting pit. 20 defense needed and give 4 ranged bonus

[@sinshere9590]

Just started a hardcore ironman so your videos are amazing for me

[@TheFX]

Love to hear it. Enjoy the journey, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

[@PinkBunnyCorporation]

Tip 11 is op. Just used it after hunting out in the wildy to cook my kill.

[@TheFX]

Perfect application of these tips! Glad it could be of use ;)

[@arjanmijnster2461]

Great tips and videoquality👌

[@Radtastical]

Re-bonded my Hcim last night, thank you so much for this! Rsn - Deep Scars

Hope it goes well! Feel free to add me in game if you have any questions.

[@ForeverJade.D]

I’m thinking about starting one, but I already borderline play my main as an iron

[@corysteiner1218]

Really good tips video! My only bit of feedback is the background music is sometimes drowning out your voice.

[@jackieanderson401]

Always great content

[@AnxietyLad]

On my main I did all the quests, and all hard diaries and it didn’t feel like I earned it? As I just bought all items from GE. With that being said, I started an Ironman, and followed BRUHsailor Ironman guide which has been amazing, and gets you doing exactly what is explained in this video, I definitely recommend it if you’re feeling overwhelmed to start one, you can even venture off whenever you want, it’s just really efficient if that’s something you’re looking for.

[@silenity999]

The ardy cake stall you can now stand under the baker and steal and never get caught. It used to not be this way but for some reason you can now do it. And its much easier to get to than the Zeah cake stall.

[@TheFX]

That's a good tip!

[@T3hPUGZ198]

You can also pick the pineapples next to brimhaven dungeon and note them with the leprechaun nearby.

[@TheFX]

That's news to me. Mind if I use that in a future vid? With credit, of course. I'm editing Tips & Tricks #3 now, but I'll still need some more for #4!

Awesome tip video, just started a hc myself :)

[@selkokieli843]

someone mentioned potion seller, there's basic atk def and str pots for sale in warrior's guild as well as the superpotatoes :) the guild also has a less known weapons shop on one of the floors useful for selling cyclops drops for high alch price.

That would be Tip #10 :P

the doritos one got me good 😂

Shaiyzen (5) boots are better than snakeskin as well.

[@mitchellwilliam95]

When you said, "Kourend-proper," all I could think of was Matthew Mercer.

[@TheFX]

I know he does VA work and is on Crit Role, but I've never seen it. Is that a meme from the show or something?

[@heppiheijaa]

Tip: Level you fishing from 63 to 65 at Karambwanjis which is the bait for Karambwans. I did that and I had about 180k Karambwanjis when i hit 65 fishing, thats about 60k Karambwans assuming each takes three baits to catch. This takes about 15 hours, but most of the early game grinds are around the 15 hour mark like graceful set etc so should not be a problem :P

[@CTBuddz-Enh]

Best part the potion seller :D

[@handydan6273]

For ironman, if you don't wanna wear rune go straight to granite. It's like 90k and only armor from barbarian assault you don't spend points on.

[@ethanwasme4307]

you're going to need dragon slayer lol it's better to suggest it for it's pure defensive bonuses

i think theres a tip that should be known before even starting a iron-thing. get a membership or your gonna hate it basically.

id rush karambwam, graceful and potatoes if I was to ever do this again

[@4KGofMaul]

Overlapping quests is great in theory, but need quite a bit of game knowledge or a fair bit of research time. For me its not worth it as the time investment I'd have to put in would probably end up longer than if I just did them one by one

[@TheFX]

Absolutely. For those who've played off an on since the early RS2 days, it's a lot easier to do than for those who are newer to the game in general. Many players have played standard accounts for years and look for tips before trying out an ironman account, so some tips are geared toward that. I wanted to include more obscure tips so I'm not just repeating the same thing that other videos do.

[@Ben_Gates]

@@TheFX It would be amazing if there was a list compiled with all the quests that can be done at once

[@dannyU2g]

ur voice sounds like u actually have a very hi pitched voice and you just pitched it down xD

Noted, but it's actually the other way around. I try to talk with a lighter voice so it doesn't sound as gravelly and monotone.
