Getting Gear[edit | edit source]
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 if something you obtain is an upgrade, you can always check out the Magic Gear, Ranged Gear or Melee Gear pages.
