F2P UIM Maxing Guide

Here's a general overview guide for maxing a free to play ultimate ironman account, including efficient and additional skilling options. This should be a good starting point for maxing your own uim account.
Huge shout-out to Autumn Elegy, Tannerdino, and Say F2P Ult for letting me use their footage, as I am too noob to make my own footage of beast methods.

[@nosleepforme2242]

Me, never planning on making a F2P UIM: “yeah I’ve got 2 hours”.

[@Vex-iy8zm]

So I'm not alone on this one 😂😂😂

[@kingofgirth8609]

I was fuming about grinding 95 rc on my p2p iron but now I'm counting my blessings. 4.7k xp/hour is an inhuman grind

[@SwitchTalkChannel]

In short: (1) Do you want to torture yourself for 6,000 perfect hours. (2) AFK/chill for almost twice as much time played. (3) Cry.

[@AlwaysNeedBait]

yes pls

[@Presearing]

It's obvious a lot of work and love went into this, great video!

[@v0idlurker]

Huge thanks for this video!

[@sebitoe]

This is amazing, thank you

[@yvezalhopery9874]

Here from Autumn Elegy, glad I was recommended this video!

Let’s goooo been waiting for this 🔥🔥

Holy shit 2 hour f2p uim guide lets fucking go

[@PuqhRS]

Great video, I appreciate the effort that went into this.

[@iodiin_osrs]

Thanks beast, still waiting on your f2p uim content

[@happym5717]

Really enjoyed this breakdown even though I never plan on maxing a f2p iron. I personally liked going for the obor club and then byro staff as good earlier goals as these realisitically take a good chunk of xp. A nice way of breaking up your skill goals is to do something like "i'll move on after 7 levels gained", as this will double your xp and keeps things feels achievable but progressively harder

[@iodiin_osrs]

That's how I've been grinding through prayer and rc, just doing a couple levels at a time then skill hopping. Seems to work for the most part!

[@rune4543]

incredible guide!!

[@TegPi]

We've reached peak f2p ironscape. What an awesome video! Great work

[@the_inducted]

rewatching this just to feel something.

[@TegPi]

This is a piece of runescape spreadsheet art. I've watched this half a dozen times. Great stuff.

[@DullsRS]

i'm not even a UIM but i watched the entire vid because iodiin is THAT guy

[@yiaro222]

This

[@iodiin_osrs]

Best time to start is now, nothing wrong with grabbing a christmas event and pisschill afking

[@TetchyyHD]

Great vid

[@darrenstiers9659]

beast guide!!!!!

[@thenextgen1able]

in the beginning you say you can only get nats through combat, then proceed to show telegrabbing them lol

[@iodiin_osrs]

What I meant was that you can’t get nats from shops like in p2p. Telegrabbing is a great way to get nature runes but it requires law runes to cast, another rune which can only be gotten through combats. There are other methods like beginner clues or camdozaal vaults, but those are very slow.

[@killzonia]

Great guide! Btw, you can toggle ammo pickup behaviour in the settings now - no need to talk to the tutor.

[@iodiin_osrs]

Yes but please consider the tutor's feelings about getting lonely

i didn't know about that 1 tick pizza trick!!

as a f2puim btw myself, fuck the wildy, i collect my rubies from oggies the good natural way. o7 to all my fellow troopers on the field

[@roysensei]

Holy fucking pog holy based greatest vid on youtube

[@iodiin_osrs]

Only until this year's f2p awards vid is out

[@twomany]

Excellent vid, i started a new F2P UIM last week right after watching this vid! For runecraft training, is it worth swapping out some Minotaur kills with Flawed golems using the Barronite mace at Camdozaal? They have a much higher drop rate for noted essence (0.86 essence/kill), but you don't get any skull pieces for sceptre charging and they have higher time-to-kill. It might be a wash if the effective drop rate is the same as minotaurs, but they also drop a ton of uncut sapph and emeralds for nice crafting xp. Have you tried this? Thanks for creating this guide!

[@iodiin_osrs]

Golems are an interesting alternative, but the ratio of runecrafting xp to combat xp is just too low to compete with minotaurs. If you are gonna kill golems, I recommend mind golems since the mind altar is right outside of the camdozaal entrance.

[@dxinz]

Thanks for this intro into F2P skilling. How do you maintain the integrity of the gamemode? (how can you verify someone hasnt used membership to train skills faster)

[@iodiin_osrs]

There are some ways like checking music tracks and achievement diaries. Luckily no one really does this

[@Orbrun]

you can track their xp gains and ehp rates it's really hard/unlikely for someone to cheat achieving high stats long term on a f2p account while still being known in the community because it only takes being caught on a members world or having unobtainable xp rates once to be on the banned f2p list forever

[@kinghrath]

Lamp rc? Why have I been lamping smithing

[@yiaro222]

11:50 omg thats old footage :0

[@iodiin_osrs]

Tried to use as much footage that I already had as I could lol

[@FatalREM]

You could do both at the same time ;)

[@hijackbyejack1729]

@@FatalREM lol that is honestly a good point

[@Dubzoid]

Nice guide! Hope it helps more people get into the game mode. One small correction: since the forestry update it is much better to cut trees with at least 10 other players. With every additional player, your wc level gets an invisible +1 boost (max +10). So definitely don't cut yews alone. The most popular yew area is either w301 edgeville or varrock palace. Varrock palace is better bc room for firemaking and 3 trees, so if one gets occupied by forestry event you can bounce between the other two.

[@iodiin_osrs]

Professional forestry hater sorry

[@DkKobaADV]

@@iodiin_osrs this comment alone makes you unqualified to make guides then, since you ignore mechanics on the basis of "not liking them".

[@Beckwourth]

By the way does this also count for hardcore ironmen? Like technically it's not far off from the same training and what not since it's free to play right?

[@iodiin_osrs]

Yes, all of these methods are also the efficient metas for Ironman and hardcore Ironman. Having access to a bank removes a lot of annoyance regarding skill hopping or wilderness risk. It’s why all F2P Ironman share ehp rates.

[@MLKOSRS]

Damn i just seen this.

[@davidbraudis2058]

Not an iron but that is a pretty cool guide m8

[@keyboardwarrior34]

bring snare while doing telegrab nats to log if needed?

[@iodiin_osrs]

That's another option, but only works against a single pker. Generally you're pretty safe once you hit singles but if you wanna sacrifice a food slot then go for it.

[@tylers2710]

Discord link not working :(. Also is there a f2p uim clan i could join?

[@iodiin_osrs]

Not just for uims, but check out "w 385" if you're looking for a f2p clan in general

[@keegancooper1080]

Why do you only start Corsair curse and not complete it?

[@iodiin_osrs]

You can complete the quest if you want, but it's not necessary. The Corsair cove area gives access to Ogress Warriors, which you just need to start the quest to access.

[@yiforlife6220]

can crack the clue 3 be done in 2 inventories?

[@iodiin_osrs]

If you mean completing the ctc3 step of digging in one spot with all the items, you unfortunately have to have everything in your inventory at once. If you have some items you can't drop, I recommend death piling to complete that step. That or you can juggle the last item or two

[@old5chool444]

I don't think praying mage helps with being snared less. Praying mage will just reduce the amount of damage taken from mage attacks.

[@EriconatorV2]

It reduces the snare time

[@iodiin_osrs]

Yeah thats the info I meant to convey, since the goal is to reach singles as fast as possible

[@ch_ub]

@@EriconatorV2 It used to, but after a PvP Balancing update in 2019 it no longer halves the snare/entangle time.

[@JakePTX]

hmm interesting.

[@tekt_real]

Nice video but your Ogress slaying spot blows, why are you running so far away? From entering the cave, I run around the circular spear thing in the middle. Then I wait for aggro timer in the normie safespot. After that you have 5 ogress to kill, most being shamans. I have seen a singular person using it after a month and it's way better than this "get smacked in the face and run around a corner to get them to stay still"-spot. Didn't know about all the crack the clue iron mining stuff though, that is neat. I've been using the ruby drops from ogresses and random events to make the rings, lol.

[@iodiin_osrs]

Haha the only footage I had from ogresses was from a couple years ago back when I was giganoob. There’s a couple decent spots around the caves so really it’s whatever works for folks.

[@tekt_real]

@@iodiin_osrs I really like the spear spot because it's so close to the entrance and (as a result?) you still get to engage with some other players. I had a guy tele grab my mithril kiteshields just today.. caught me off guard for sure. I really do appreciate the video though, I am mostly a noob and I've been just winging it and hoping I'm spending weeks doing the right stuff. I did get 70 crafting done recently for that Power and I even had the right method, hah. I saw that NiceWario guy who I saw in the video chatting at times taking MY SILVER ORE so I knew I must be on the right tracks.

[@germandrummer13]

Will you have my baby

[@mightymcbeast3594]

yeah id never

[@jimmy13morrison]

I don't like f2p and a f2p uim sounds boring as fuck but going that seems like an interesting subject to see from the outside

[@iodiin_osrs]

Haha its definitely not for everyone, only the real sickos

[@thatminerdude]

why would anyone want to play this its the most boring thing can imagine ,not only that you cant flex either because the game does not track if they account was ever members

[@iodiin_osrs]

None of us really do it for the flex, it's more for the relaxed and nostalgic nature of F2P. Those of us who wanna flex use EHP tracking sites like Temple OSRS which does track our F2P status.

[@amp4105]

yeah it does@@iodiin_osrs

[@suckonthis4253]

nice
