Ironman Mode

Iron Man Mode and Ultimate Iron Man Mode are account-types that will be released in Old School RuneScape on 13 October 2014, as official support for the Ironman style of playing, where players are completely self-sufficient.

Both modes will only be able to be activated at Tutorial Island. There will be an option to toggle it off at any point the player wishes, but they won't be able to be turned back on after that. Players can also choose permanently stay an Iron Man, and the restrictions can never be removed. To activate Iron Man or Ultimate Iron Man modes, players will have to speak to an NPC on Tutorial Island.

Ironman players will not be able to trade (except certain quest items from Shield of Arrav and Heroes Quest), gain experience in certain multiplayer situations, stake at the Duel Arena. Players who choose to activate Ultimate Ironman Mode will, in addition to the standard Iron Man restrictions, will be unable to use a bank and teleport. Ultimate Iron Man players will also lose all their items upon death.

Iron Man accounts will be identifiable by an outfit exclusive to both modes.

There will be two new highscores added as well. One highscore table will be for all Ironman accounts, while the other will be solely for Ultimate Iron Man accounts.
