Ironman tips

  • Masters: Turael/Spria (Burthorpe/Draynor), Mazchna (20 combat), Vannaka (40), Chaeldar (70, Lost City), Konar (75), Nieve/Steve (85), Duradel (100 + 50 Slayer).
  • Slayer points: Slayer helmet (400 pts + 55 Crafting + Malevolent Masquerade), Broader Fletching (300), Bigger and Badder (150), Herb sack (750).
  • Turael skipping: if you have points, swap bad tasks with Turael and go back to the high master.
  • Cannon (Dwarf Cannon) + cannonballs (Smithing 35) speed up tasks.
  • Key drops: Whip (85 Abyssal demons), Dragon boots (83 Spiritual mages), Trident (87 Kraken), Occult (93 Smoke devils), Dragon sword/harpoon (62 Wyrms), Hydra (95).
  • Konar's chest gives Brimstone keys: herbs, seeds, runes.
