The prayer xp alone is worth doing it, I remember the early levels being awful to get on my iron. I went from low 60's to low 80's in a few days doing rumors, was lucky enough to green log around 220 rumors. The somewhat varied tasks help break up the repetitiveness too.

99 hunter might genuinely become the new iron meta after so many years, it's nice to have an early game resource generator that isn't as miserable as WT. Couple tips for people who want to do this route for early game iron because I'm also currently doing it; - get graceful, ardy cape, and fairy rings first; you do a ton of running and run energy is really the only limiting factor when it comes to spamming rumors - to counteract run energy, take all the harrlanders you're going to get from the rumors and turn them into energy potions, chocoloate dust is effectively free from gnome stronghold

[@Lichtkrieger13]

[@joonasmakela7435]

Also when you are doing 99 hunter you can get easy glory on the way. Starting combat on your ironman and having glory is lit

[@Phil_Derup69]

It sort of was the meta for a while. Ppl would rush whatever the level was for d imps to get glories

[@Subvaries]

The main reason people start with Wintertodt is the scaling damage. It's better to do at 10-14 HP. The problem with hunter rumors is the pitfall traps. Some of those mobs can hit pretty hard and it's going to be even harder at 10-14 HP. So if you raise your HP level Wintertodt is going to be more of a pain later. It's better imo to just get it out of the way, also the firemaking cape counts as a light source which is very useful in a lot of places. Also Wintertodt rewards. Yes you have a chance at better rewards with higher skills. However i'd argue that the early game supplies are better for your account overall. Lets be honest here. No one is doing Wintertodt at a high level for late game or even mid game supplies...

I think this has skirted around some of the requirements to do this well, teleports, crafting pouches, crafting whistle etc. it focuses heavily on the benefits without giving a clear indication as specifically when you would start. I think someone forging this as a planned starting route would be an awesome idea.

[@doubleshine]

oh yeah, now we're talking

[@coreymanno8946]

Well, besides the pitfall traps requiring you to have a higher hp level, solo Wintertodt can easily get you close to 70 Con, WC and Fletching after the grind. I agree with doing this after a few quests though. One thing you forgot to keep in mind, how are you going to teleport everywhere if you go straight to rumours? You need fairy rings and teleports.

Great video, had just done 99 fm grind prior to Varlamore and have jumped across to Hunter, currently 87 from rumours on my new iron. Love the new content.

[@Fleabane-z8d]

I actually still think its worth doing fm to 99 prior to starting hunter. You will take a lot of dmg from deadfalls on a lowbie acct so do wt (even to just 85) while your hp is still low, then shift to rumours is my advice.

[@dogamidstwind4159]

Overall, a good point. I think that the part about the moths/butterflies should have been listed before the prayer note but after all the herbs you get. My fingers were itching to type "you forgot about these busted things though!" Lvl 1 herblore, just need the supplies and hunter level to catch the moths and you have good prayer potion alternatives without having to tediously grab snape grass or pray for the right herbs. You get the moths as rumors and can specifically hunt them outside of rumors.

[@nigellh1153]

I see two problems there: 1. HP struggle at hunter with new accounts 2. have fun getting to all hunter locations without almost any teleport option I'd say: 1. Get your Con to about 25 2. Do WT solos only and just collect the crates (took my about 85 solos?) so you dont waste much of bank space 3. unlock important teleport options (with this you can also get higher HP) 4. grind out hunter rumors In the end... just play the game the way you enjoy, but i cant agree with this video

I tried this, the loot is fantastic but this isn't easily done on a fresher account. So it's good to unlock fairy rings, regular book teleports, and other methods. Then this gets better. The XP isn't the best but you get loot. What's I'm choosing to do is just rush to 83 Hunter on my ironman first. Finishing 99 fm at WT. Then I'll do some rumors because it gives good early prayer xp and Guild Hunter Outfit will be worth getting. However, I think it's still best to focus on herbivores as herblore is tough on an iron.

[@alexdenommee3219]

Just to give in perspective on why this is actually a really good idea for newer/current mid ironmen: Hunter has a lot of "little secrets", go look at the dragon impling, ninja impling drop tables, early access to glory amulets, no one goes for nature so tons of irit seeds +, basically full bark wizard armour except legs and plate (from wildy bosses), food, herbs, bird nests, coins (bout same as wintertodt), prayer xp in blessed bone shards and other various bones, a new way of getting early magic logs as even the basic sac can give 4 magic logs. The other thing is the general rule for ironmen is put all skill lamps into herblore/smithing early, and any combat into prayer/magic if you can. With the new herblore minigame, it could ease the pain of the 70 smithing grind on mid ironmen as most lamps would instead be used on smithing. TL;DR: I agree with you. My secret on my ironman was soul wars, followed zealgains and had like unreal amount of uncut rubies and diamonds, adamant and rune bolts, adamant and rune arrows, snapdragon seeds (now just snapdragon unf pots that I am too lazy to grind eggs for rofl), etc. The other secret, now, is undead pirates using wilderness food/pots from LMS, etc.

I agree. I'm a new ironman that did wt first. only 1k total xp. last four days I just started my hunter grind at 32 at novice and currently at 62 now at adept. I waited till I unlocked fairy rings to do this. which btw if fairy rings are not unlocked this method is pointless. Ive done almost 50 rumors and the only thing beneficial would be the food and herbs for herblore. I still think for early levels that wintertodt and temporos to 82 are far better choices

[@Lorentari]

You can always do rumors - The pitfall trap rumors especially will benefit from higher HP You can't always do Wintertodt (at least you would be stupid for delaying after leveling hitpoints) Also... the Tome of Fire is likely the main the reason most ironmen grind Wintertodt until 99 - It is equip-able fire runes for your Iban's Staff

[@GigaChad-kg4yo]

Wintertodt, Guardians of the Rift and Hunter Rumours did change progression a lot. This video though tries to pit WT vs Rumours. Youre supposed to just do both. Until Jagex gives us QoL changes for WT, its best to do the WT grind first. Not necessarily 99 but definetely for quite some time, 95+ recommended. GotR should be done asap until you reach the altars that are gated behind quests. This will supply a good amount of runes for any starting Ironman and all it needs are the related quests and a pickaxe. Side benefit of getting Tears of Guthix later to stop going into RC. Hunter's Rumours though, its best to get Fairy Rings first, some health and maybe some extra teleport. As you said aswell, 66 crafting for a meat pouch. Perhaps also not doing it till 99 since its a very slow grind, but doing it until atleast 70 for quest reqs is recommended. Rumours 100% belong into the "Setting up your iron" category but its not only upsides.

[@12171010011010]

Misleading All of the benefits you mention are the exact reason why wintertodt is better. You aren’t doing the grind for the loot, especially if you are a UIM. Also for levelling, lighting logs is faster. But wintertodt is an inevitable hurdle because of the pet and clothing needed for clues. And since it’s easier at a low hp level, wintertodt early is objectively optimal. And let’s be real, if you aren’t playing a hcim or uim, you should be going for variety instead of grinding a skill from 1-90+.

[@jacobnorfolk]

Wintertodt is terrible for anything but completely useless firemaking xp. Ironmen shouldn't bother going here unless they need magic logs for DT considering the rewards are horrible and every single thing you get from there can easily be obtained elsewhere while actually progressing your account

[@12171010011010]

@ Before the recent update, if you planned on maxing, you would atleast get it to 80 via wintertodt since that meant you had all the necessary content unlocked and could wrap up the rest of your levels the faster way. The only issue being that if you wanted all log slots, 80 typically wouldn’t be enough. Nothing has really changed now except you can do it at any level.

unfortunately hunter packs won't get me 200m fm xp very quickly which I need in order to have a chance for the phoenix considering I did wt solos until I was over drop rate dry (based on calculated total loot rolls). Now I'm going for wt on mass worlds and I guess we'll see if I go kc dry for wt (given each kc is *at least* 2 rolls, going for 2500kc at wt would guarantee being above drop rate for phoenix.)
