UPDATES: 1. Bow swapping doesn't work anymore so just melee with your pickaxe to kill ice walkers. 2. Rhys will only accept 10 lapis, and 10 of two other ores. I'd recommend coal and redstone. 3. Ender monocles are optional due to the high combat requirement so do as you see fit.

For unlocking the Dwarven mines you can enchant a golden axe with smelting touch to turn wood into charcoal. You can then turn the charcoal into coal blocks that can be turned into Enchanted coal, it's a real fast way to get 30 ecoal compared to normal mining.

Great guide so far, I've gotten to the point where I'm farming pumpkins for the helmet. Everything went far smoother than I expected, all in all, and this helped me finish my first entrance level dungeon. Only thing I'm wondering is how and when to transition from farming to mining after you're done with it?

[@vasilikos6142]

just do you daily commissions while you focus on farming, and once you are full fermento with decent equipment you can fully focus on just mining and farm to get cookies

Your videos have been all over my youtube as I have just started an ironman, I didn't enjoy normal skyblock. I assume this is a guide to 'speedrun' I have watched the first 2-3 minutes multiple times as I have been focusing on things other than combat and it seems oriented toward that.

later in the video i talk about mining and farming, this video just quickly talks about what to do after super early game, and it goes more in depth with what to do when you actually start your profile. there additional information in my mid game guide

Can you make a slower version of this video (explaining what everything you say means), it would be better for newer players.

It would actually be faster to wiki what you don't understand about what he says, the majority going ironman already have a normal profile

But like low key this all makes sense. Clear, concise; it makes me want to start and Ironman profile just to see.

Do you plan on doing a midgame guide as well? I've just about done everything you've suggested this video, and I've been a little clueless on what to do for a while now.

[@vasilikos6142]

if i were to do a midgame guide i would end up covering everything ive already covered in my other guides. id say focus on farming until you have a very good setup, then transition into other parts of the game

[@quixotix9540]

Hey! Love the video, I've been loosely following it for my own profile, but I was wondering about the dungeons grind. Is it supposed to be super tedious? It seems really slow to get all 240 frags, so I was wondering if there was any optimization.

[@vasilikos6142]

you could try skipping dragon armor or grinding summoning eyes, getting 240 frags from dungeons really isnt that bad though. you only have to get 80 of one, 70 of another, and 40 of another because there will always be a good non dragon helmet (tara helm, dark goggles).

[@tisonarrow]

Great guide, it's really helped me progress. Is there something I can do in between the end and entrance floor, really struggling to kill anything with a void sword especially lost adventurers

[@vasilikos6142]

go tank and kill dreadlords with seismic wave

I decided to start an ironman profile a few months ago, but I do have a question. Is mining necessary? I am close to getting a ruby drill, but the actual fine ruby is the annoying part. I want to get gauntlet asap so I can start grinding for yog armor. Would you recommend I just skip mining as a whole or at least for a while and just farm, and then I can focus on mage instead of juju/term for archer?

mining makes 2x as much as farming so i would recommend getting into mining, also you’ll definitely want full yog before gauntlet
