Ironman & Drop Table Reworks
Originele tekst
Steel yourselves for self-sufficient 'Scaping and rewarding combat in RuneScape this week.
Ironman mode is here - a community favourite now supported in-game, where you'll forge your own path in the world: making everything with your own hands, claiming every precious drop yourself - all without the help of others.
It's a fresh challenge for experienced players, and there are prestigious titles and chat badges, plus dedicated hiscores to conquer.
Beast and ghosts' drop tables have also been improved, following your vote earlier in the year. Fighting them is more rewarding overall, and can yield new, tradeable boots for mid-level rangers, or ghostly essence, which can be used to upgrade the ectoplasmator.
Read on for full details!
Ironman Mode
To create an Ironman account, right-click on the 'randomise' button in the character creation screen to unlock an 'advanced' section of the interface.
From there, you'll be able to select Ironman or Hardcore Ironman mode for your new account.
Ironman accounts have the following restrictions:
- No player-to-player trades
- No Grand Exchange trades, except Bonds
- No picking up drops from other players
- No Lootshare
- No XP or loot in PvP
- No multiplayer minigames
- Most facilities in other players' houses cannot be used
- No assist or accept aid
- Dungeoneering is solo only
- No Sinkholes or Warbands
- No Treasure Hunter
- No Wicked Pouch from Solomon's Store
- No Refer a Friend
- No Social Slayer
- XP gain from clan citadel plots is reduced
- No benefit will be received from group buffs, abilities or spells cast by others
- Any group abilities or spells cast by an Ironman players will only affect the caster
- You must deal more than half the total damage to a monster before you will receive drops from it.
- Combat XP is reduced if you do less than 100% of the damage needed to kill an enemy (i.e. if someone else is fighting it as well)
Hardcore Ironman accounts take the challenge one step further: all the restrictions of an Ironman accountwith permanent death.
If you die in Hardcore Ironman mode, that's it. Your account will no longer be playable, and all gear, items, money and currency - including any RuneCoins or items purchased in Solomon's Store - will be gone for good.
Note that 'Safe' activities carry no risk of permanent death.
Hardcore Ironman players can purchase two extra lives from Mr Ex in Edgeville: one at total level 1000, and another at 1600.
The first costs 100,000 coins, and the second 10 million. Once these two extra lives have been purchased, you can't get any more for that account.
This is an optional safety net, in case you want to protect your investment in your Hardcore character while keeping death dangerous.
Mr Ex can also change Hardcore Ironman characters to Ironman characters, and Ironman to a normal account, for a sum of gold at each stage. Note that all changes of this type are irreversible.
Finally, please note that Jagex will not reverse the death of a Hardcore Ironman character for any reason - even in the event of connection issues, or account hijacking. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you use the RuneScape Authenticator to ensure that your account is as secure as possible.
Beast & Ghost Drop Tables
You voted for better drops from beasts and ghosts, and we've brought them to you today.
The following monsters have had their drop tables overhauled, so fighting them is now far more lucrative:
Beasts:
- Rock slugs
- Terror dogs
- Wall beasts
- Gargoyles
- Kurasks
- Turoths
- Basilisks
- Bloodvelds
- Mutated bloodvelds
- Dark beasts
- Spiritual warriors
- Spiritual rangers
- Spiritual mages
- Ghasts
- Mighty banshees
- Banshees
- Ankou
- Aberrant spectres
- Three new sets of boots for rangers: these come in level 40, 50 and 60 varieties, and are dropped by basilisks, turoths and kurasks respectively. Drop chance increases if you're on a slayer assignment for those creatures.
- Ghostly essence: this stackable material can be used to upgrade the ectoplasmator to an attuned ectoplasmator. This charge-based item gives increased Prayer XP when killing ghosts, works alongside prayer-restoring necklaces from dungeoneering, and scatters ashes automatically when they drop. 500 ghostly essence are needed to convert the ectoplasmator, and more essence can be used to recharge it once converted. Finally, the chance of essence dropping is increased and drop quantities doubled while on a slayer assignment for the ghosts you're killing.
It's a beast-wrangling, ghost-grappling week for RuneScape slayers and survivalists.
Hang tough, have fun, and join the discussion on the forums.

Er is ook een Hardcore Ironman mode. Als je daarin sterft, kun je niet langer spelen en verlies je alles, inclusief aangeschafte RuneCoins. Veilige activiteiten gelden niet als dood. Bij 1.000 en 1.600 total kun je wel bij Mr Ex in Edgeville twee extra levens kopen. Deze kosten respectievelijk 100.000 en 10.000.000 gp. Hierna kun je geen levens meer kopen. Dit is gedaan als extra vangnet voor je investering. Een dood kan niet worden teruggedraaid, ongeacht de reden van je dood. Verbindingsproblemen en hacks zijn dus voor eigen risico.
Mr Ex kan ook Hardcore Ironman in Ironman en Ironman in normale accounts omzetten. Dit kost ook gp. Veranderingen zijn onomkeerbaar.
De Ironman modi kun je aanzetten door met de rechtermuisknop op 'randomise' te klikken bij het maken van je account.
Droptabellen beesten en geesten
De volgende monsters hebben vernieuwde droptabellen, waardoor je waardevollere drops zult krijgen:
Beesten:
- Rock slugs
- Terror dogs
- Wall beasts
- Gargoyles
- Kurasks
- Turoths
- Basilisks
- Bloodvelds
- Mutated bloodvelds
- Dark beasts
- Spiritual warriors
- Spiritual rangers
- Spiritual mages
- Ghasts
- Mighty banshees
- Banshees
- Ankou
- Aberrant spectres
Geesten kunnen ghostly essence achterlaten, dat maar één plaats in je inventory inneemt. Met 500 kun je een ectoplasmator omzetten in een attuned ectoplasmator. Je krijgt hiermee extra Prayer xp bij het doden van geesten. Hij werkt samen met prayerherstellende necklaces van Dungeoneering en as wordt automatisch omgezet als dat wordt gedropt. Iedere keer dat je een geest doodt, verliest het apparaat een lading. Je kunt de attuned ectoplasmator opladen met de essence. Je hebt extra kans op en krijgt meer essence als je de geesten voor Slayer doodt.
Nog iets...
Ter voorbereiding van de lancering van de Impling Collector tweede helft van Prifddinas zullen nu de types van de implings die je vanaf nu vangt, worden bijgehouden. Je mag ze in de wereld en in Puro-Puro vangen.
