Editing Ironman Gear Progression

== Getting Gear==
<div style="margin: 0 2em; padding: 0 1em;">
As an Ironman account, getting gear does not follow your typical upgrade paths. The [[Starter Set]] does provide a very good chunk of power right out the gates so there is not a huge rush to replace your gear immediately.

That being said, there are some upgrades you want to try and get as soon as you can as the benefits and stats will be very helpful.  Unfortunately, because of the Ironman playstyle, a lot of this is up to RNG and getting lucky.

'''Armor upgrades:''' Attending Drop Parties at ::dp when they are triggered is by far the easiest way to obtain your initial gearing upgrades for each of the 3 combat styles:
:* [[Omen Set]] for Range
:* [[Poseidon Set]] for Magic
:* [[Masterwork Set]] for Melee

'''Weapon upgrades''' are definitely more tricky to define a path.  The [[Starter Staff]], [[Starter Pistol]], and [[Starter Sword]] are very strong in the early game and can carry you for quite a while. However, there are a few weapons that you want to keep an eye out for that will allow you to access harder content.
:* [[Skotizo Bow]] or [[Skull Descimator9000]] set for Range
:* [[Sanguinesti Staff]] or [[Elemental Fury Staff]] for Magic
:* [[Slayer Master Hammer]] or [[Masterwork Sword]] for Melee 

'''*Note: Melee is not competitive enough with Magic or Range weapons until either of these weapons are acquired for Ironman.'''

'''Boots and Gloves:''' It is '''highly''' recommended that once you obtain 92 Prayer that you farm out [[Dreamland]] to get [[Ultimate Tribrid Gloves]] and [[Ultimate Tribrid Boots]].  Both of these items provide incredible power in the early game and are decently easy to obtain. Doing [[Dreamland]] during the Dreamland rotator event that occurs randomly throughout the day will save you a lot of time in the long run.

'''Cape upgrade:''' Doing the [[Arcade]] and obtaining the capes from that activity is a good starting point.  Your first major cape upgrade to target is the [[Slayer Master Cape]].  This can be obtained once you hit Prestige 3 in [[Slayer]].

'''*'''If you are ever unsure which Gear is the following upgrade, you can always check out the [[Magic Gear]], [[Ranged Gear]] or [[Melee Gear]] pages. These pages also show you the weaponry in order by stats. <br>
