Ironman Mode/Strategies

When starting an Ironman account, these are some strategies to help out with the start.

Making money
Skills such as Summoning, Fishing, and Combat require money. Other things, such as Boss Instances and Miscellania will also come in handy for the future. Some of the no-requirement money-making methods are going to be used here, as Ironman cannot access the Grand Exchange.
 * Fletching logs into arrow shafts and selling to the General Store (this rewards 1260 GP per inventory of logs.)
 * Running the Stronghold of Security (this rewards 10,000 GP.)
 * Killing Troll brute/Troll chucker/Troll shaman. These monsters drop a Drape, which sells for 75 gp in the store, along with Bronze 2Hs swords and chainbodies. This is a good place to start training, as you can kill the trolls fast, along with getting a cape with designated stats.

Shops
As a first resort, you are going to have to buy weapons and armour from shops.
 * 2H weapons - Gaius's Two-Handed Shop in Burthorpe. (up to adamant)
 * One handed weapons - Varrock Sword Shop in Varrock. (up to adamant, main-hand only)
 * Bows/arrows - Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock. (up to maple/adamant arrows, also sells armor)
 * Platelegs - Louie's Armoured Legs Bazaar in Al Kharid. (up to adamant)
 * Shields - Cassie's Shield Shop in Falador (up to mithril)
 * Helmets - Peksa's Helmet Shop in Barbarian Village (up to adamant)
 * Platebodies - Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock (up to mithril)
 * Higher tier gear - Seddu's Adventurers' Store in Nardah (rune / green d'hide)

Questing
As an Ironman, you will want to quest, as this is a good source of experience, along with potential unlocks/rewards. These are some quests that give a great amount of experience, that will be useful at the start. There is a list of quests with potential experience rewards, these are some of the lower leveled quests. Full list here.

 * Sea Slug - Rewards 7175 Fishing experience

Activities
There are multiple activities to do on an Ironman for fast and free experience, and are accessible at any level.
 * Nemi Forest - This is a great daily to do, as it awards Prayer, Farming, Mining, and Dungeoneering experience based on your level. There is a Reddit Forum dedicated to daily routes here.
 * D&D's - There are daily, weekly, and monthy D&D's that can be done for fast experience. The list of all D&D's is here. (Note: Not all D&D's are accessible to Ironman, such as Blast Furnace, Demon Raids, Fishing Trawler, Fist of Guthix, Flash Powder Factory, Heist, Stealing Creation, Sinkholes, Trouble Brewing, and Wilderness Warbands)
 * .The Nexus - This is a great place to start training prayer, as it is easy and free. From level one, you are allowed to gain a total of 37,224 Prayer experience, which brings you to 40.
 * Daily Challenges - Dailies are a great source of experience, as they are quite simple, and give resources back used within the challenge. One daily that most Ironman avoid are cooking dailies, as you lose most of your fish, which comes in handy with Bossing or Slayer.
