    The Mayor’s Hardcore Ironman Progress Thread


    Yesterday I had the urge to start a Hardcore ironman account. For those of you that don’t know, you can choose to make an ironman account during the account creation process. An ironman account cannot use the GE or trade items with other players; you must gather all the resources necessary to train skills yourself. If you’re a hardcore ironman and you die in-game (even due to lag etc.) your account becomes permanently locked. I thought it would be quite fun to see how far I can get.

    I plan to bot this account 100%. First I’ll start with combat skills to reduce my chances of dying from random NPC attacks, and to unlock high alchemy (probably the main source of income). Then I will train some of the other f2p skills (mining, woodcutting, fishing, cooking). I think that ironman accounts can buy bonds on the GE although it will be tough to get 6.5m without selling goods on the GE.

    I think it will be quite fun to update my progress but I probably won't be updating this daily as I've got a lot on at the moment.




    Progress after day 1 (21st October 2014)

    100% botting GAO. I got a free chargebow + bronze sword from Burthorpe shop and killed a goblin for an air staff. I'm going to get 40 all combat stats before moving on (so I can wear rune and stuff). I also managed to get over 1k herbs so far which will come in handy later for herblore.





    Progress after day 2 (22nd October 2014)

    So I left GAO on overnight and it completed the levels I had set (40 all stats).



    And what my bank looks like now:

    Gonna hit-up Varrock east mine and bank some tin and copper for the next few days.

    E: WTF rune equipment is now level 50 lel. I could swear it used to be 40 defense to wear rune.

    Update at the end of day 2: I've been mining all day (yes I'm botting 24 hours a day). I got my ironman from 1 -> 42 mining so far. I'm going to leave it overnight, and I should be close to 50 mining tomorrow morning. I still have a bronze pick axe




    Progress after day 3 (23rd October 2014)

    I left the the miner running overnight. I hit 50 mining. I'm going to switch over to Copper ore only so I can get equal amount for bronze bars.

    Progress after day 4 (24th October 2014)

    After mining copper overnight, I had equal amounts of each ore. I then used @BMWxi;'s yet-to-be-released lumbridge smelter to make just over 5k bronze bars. I also used 66 of the bars to make bronze arrow heads, which I sold to the General Store so I could buy an Addy pickaxe from the Dwarf. I’m gonna try and smith these bars into 80k bronze arrowheads with Ashas VWB smither.

    My bank:

    And my current levels:





    Progress after day 5 (25th October 2014)

    I smithed all of my bars into 85k arrow heads with @Ashaman88;'s VWB smither. Then I mined some more ore overnight. Then I whipped up a quick cray fish script to bank crayfish at Taverey bank (script is released here). I plan to cook these later, but I think I'll do a bit of woodcutting first

    My bank:

    Progress after day 6 (26th October 2014)

    I ended up doing some dungs to get level 15 so I could enter the resource dungeon to bot coal. I ended up getting 51 smithing to make a mith hatchet before beginning woodcutting (as the only way to get better than steel axe is to make it yourself). I then used @3Garrett3;'s evergreen chopper to get some woodcutting levels. I was using footballjds Al Khared cooker but ended up writing my own (released here) as his is a bit outdated.

    Bank:

    Levels:




    Progress after day 7 (27th October 2014)

    So this is the end of the first week. Hit a total level 558. I botted GAO overnight and most of today and gained another 20 levels (10 mage + 10 range). I also used 3Garrett3's woodcutter to bank another 1.7k logs I think I'll start on the old runecrafting next.

    The Mayor's New Ironman account (26th January 2015)

    So 3 months I am back in action. My old Ironman got rekt while the Runespan using an outdated script so I had to start again. I ended up just making my own AIO Runespan script. (Still need to pick colours for all the monsters but first island is done). I done exactly the same as before (GAO, Miner, Garretts chopper etc.):

    Bank:
    Levels:




    Update (29th January 2015)

    I paid Silentcore 6m to get me 50 dung, which he did very quickly (as always). I fixed up Wooty's CowToBootsCoverter (his 250 line competition script) which kills cows in Taverley, collects the hides, tans the hides, and optionally crafts hard leather boots (which alch for 600 each). I ran this for a while to get some leather.

    After collecting a ton of iron with my VEB miner, I made a resource dungeon script to mine coal:

    Progress Report by The Mayor:
    |=========================================|
    |        Mayor Resource Dungeon v1.1      |
    | Time: 10 hr 30 min 14 sec               |

    | Break in: 46 min 4 sec                  |
    |=========================================|


    I have a clay miner and softener in my ScriptFolder which I will probably use to get a bunch of soft clay. I also have a Clay crafting script that works from VEB, so I will make some smelting urns. I will probably turn the steel bars (I'm about to make) into cannon balls and use the urns for some mad XP (I will mod Ians script to do it for me ). Oh, and I also used akarigar's AIO runescape script to fish + cook + fm



    and bank






    Update (4th February 2015)

    I'm botting 24/7 evrday as I'm Hardcore. I've gained about 150 levels since my last update. Things I've done:



    I'm nearly at 1000 total levels where I can buy an extra life for 100k







    Update (5th February 2015)

    I managed to get over 1000 total levels so I bought the Divine Coin for 100k (I sold 500 Hard leather boots for 150k). I ran GAO again overnight and got just over 1k gold charms so I've got 2.3k charms now. I got my crafting up with the hard leather boots so I could make a Ring of life which is probably the #1 item to have as a Hardcore Ironman.

    I also made a 20 liner to 1) make boots from hard leather, and 2) make shafts from logs, I just change the preset:

    Simba Code:
    program That20Liner;
    {$DEFINE SMART}
    {$i srl-6/srl.simba}

    begin
      setupSRL();

      repeat
        if bankScreen.open(BANK_TABLE_BURTHORPE) then
          if bankScreen.clickButton(BANK_BUTTON_PRESET_1) then
            if tabBackpack.mouseSlot(2, MOUSE_LEFT) then
              if productionScreen.isOpen(5000) then
                if productionScreen.clickStart() then
                  if progressScreen.isOpen(5000) then
                  begin
                    mouseOffClient(OFF_CLIENT_RANDOM);
                    while progressScreen.isOpen() do wait(100);
                  end;
      until false;
    end.


    I did 2 slayer tasks legit and it was quite fun; never really done slayer before. I think I might make a Div script.









    Update (10th February 2015)

    I've gained another 200 levels since the last update. I used KeepBotting's karamja fisher to get a few fishing levels, and then my alKhared cooker to cook my crayfish (still haven't cooked the lobbys).



    If you're wondering how I got 41 prayer, well I botted the Nexus minigame using this:

    Simba Code:
    program NexusSmasher;
    {$DEFINE SMART}
    {$i srl-6/srl.simba}

    var
      x, y: Integer;
    begin
      setupSRL();

      repeat
        if mainScreen.findObject(x, y, 1919631, 19, ['ollect']) then
        begin
          mouseOffClient(4);
          wait(random(35000, 40000));
        end;

        if mainScreen.findObject(x, y, 4247784, 1, ['uri']) then
        begin
          mouseOffClient(OFF_CLIENT_RANDOM);
          wait(random(45000, 52000));
        end;
      until false;
    end.

    I did the Lost city quest to so I could get dual dragon longs:



    So basically I'm just tearing this up. Currently working on smithing atm with my VWB smither (I'll probably release this soon if anyone wants it).

    This is pretty cool Mayor, I wish luck in your quest! Personally I think you're really going to enjoy it. I've really wanted to give Ironman mode (OSRS) a try since it was released but certainly don't have the time to physically play the game. IMO I believe it's a single-player version of Runescape, experiencing the game fully without assistance from others. Although if I sign up for the Ironman mode one day I believe I'll stick to the normal Ironman mode rather than Hardcore. I'm too reliant on bank accounts.

    Edit:
    By the way, sorry for the specific request, but would it be possible to upload your images using a different image hoster? Indonesia (now, recently) blocks Imgur. One of the countless flaws of living in a strictly religious-based country.

    Current projects:
    [ AeroGuardians (GotR minigame), Motherlode Miner, Blast furnace ]

    Flight, Can't a VPN get around this?

    Nice thread mayor. I didn't think of just using your GAO script on my ironman. I'm currently runespanning to 91 rc, then I'm going to make a ton of nature runes, get goldsmithing gauntlets, and then mine gold in LRC while superheating the ore and banking the bars to get my mining, magic, smithing, and crafting up.

    I planned to do that too, as nats are probably one of the most valuable items for ironmen. What script are you using?

    we should share strategies. I'm gonna make a whole lot of bronze armour, sell it to the general store, and then buy a rune pick from that dwarf guy.

    So far this is the best money making method I can think of
    Kill spiders in lumby catacombs thing, collect spider silk
    Spin it into robe bottoms, high alch it for 600gp profit or sell it to store for 450gp profit.

    MY view is that they will never ban ironman accounts

    Because they won't affect the economy (gold farming).
    So in essence they're hinting that if you want to bot, make iron man.

    I'm a genius for thinking of this theory

    yup this. I think they'll be looking at ironman accounts a little bit harder than normal accounts (like they do with 100m+ xp accounts)
