Ironman tips

  • Planks: Varrock sawmill (100 gp wood / 250 oak / 500 teak / 1,500 mahogany) or Plank Make (Lunar 86).
  • Gp: High Alch of Slayer drops, Kingdom of Miscellania, Pyramid Plunder, Agility Pyramid.
  • Mahogany Homes (Kourend): contracts with oak/teak/mahogany; gives xp + Carpenter's outfit (+2.5%) and Plank sack. Uses fewer planks than oak larders.
  • Goals: 50 Demon butler, 75 Gilded altar, 82 Fairy ring, 83 Ornate pool, 87 Spirit tree + fairy ring, 92 Portal nexus, 99.
  • Teaks from Fossil Island (Farming 35) = teak planks. Mahogany (55).
