File:Ironman map icon.png Ironman mode and Ultimate Ironman mode are account-types that were released in Old School RuneScape on October 13, 2014, as official support for the Ironman style of playing, where players are completely self-sufficient.

Ironman Mode setup

The Ironman setup interface

Both modes can only be able to be activated at the Tutorial Island by speaking to either Adam or Paul before being teleported by the Magic Instructor. There will be an option to toggle it off at any point the player wishes after the tutorial, but they won't be able to be turned back on after that. Players may also choose to permanently stay an Ironman, and these restrictions cannot be removed in-game (players on permanent ironman mode may contact Customer Support to have it removed).

Restrictions

Ironman chat badge Ironman players are not able to do the following:

  • Trade with other players (except certain quest items from Shield of Arrav and Heroes Quest)
  • Pick up drops from other players' kills, including PvP
    • No loot will drop whatsoever if an ironman has dealt the most damage on a monster but not 100% of it. An exception is if only NPCs do the other damage to the monster (i.e. the Guards on Neitiznot). In that case, the Ironman only needs to do 1 point of damage to get the drop.
  • Gain experience from player-versus-player encounters (base Magic experience from casting spells is still gained, however)
  • Use the Accept Aid feature
  • Enter another player's player-owned house
  • Buy items from other players through overstocked shops or take advantage of higher sell prices of understocked shops
  • Play the Fishing Trawler minigame
  • Receive items via balloons in the Falador Party Room
  • Stake in the Duel Arena
  • Play Nightmare Zone (solo mode only and cannot purchase resources from the reward chest)

Ultimate ironman chat badge Furthermore Ultimate Ironman players are not able to do the following:

Ironmen and Bonds

Old school bond Ironmen can get bonds as gifts from other players or through the official OldSchool website. However, it is less expensive to purchase one month of membership than it is to purchase bonds (with real-world money) for membership, so this should be considered when purchasing membership on an ironman. They can also turn untradeable bonds into tradeable bonds, but ironmen cannot use bonds on any other players.

Ironman accounts will be identifiable by an outfit exclusive to both modes - the Ironman armour and Ultimate ironman armour. In addition, both modes have their own chat badge to denote their status: Ultimate ironman chat badge for an ultimate ironman and Ironman chat badge for a standard ironman.

There are two hiscores for Ironman mode, one highscore table displays all Ironman accounts (including ultimate ironmen), while the other highscore table solely displays Ultimate Ironman accounts.
