There are some players like me who are strictly against hardcore ironman mode, due to only one life and losing the account upon dying. Should any player try out hardcore and accidently kill themselves or purposely, they would immedietely rage on losing their gaming life on RuneScape and be forced to start all over for maxed players. I would like that someone mention my complaint on the forums to tell the developers of Ironman mode what would happen if a maxed player tried the hardcore mode and died on purpose and then lose the account completely and their whole gaming life they spent most of their time in reality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.62.52.128 (talk).
ironman and hardcore ironman will be options that can only be turned on during account creation. Anybody who wants to play ironman will have to start a new account to do so is my understanding, hope this alliviates your fears :)

- From a forum post by Mod Pips here:
- "The first option for continuing after death is to unlock the ability to automatically convert your account to regular Ironman if you die. You can buy a Jar of Divine Light from Mr Ex for 100k gp which will mean the gods will see you again upon death, and allow you to return to life as a normal ironman. This is an unlock rather than a physical item (like the scroll of life from Dungeoneering). This will cost GP so players will face a tactical choice in whether they dedicate precious money towards this safety net.
- The second safety net is to play long enough to earn an extra life. If you’ve reached total level 1000 and can afford 100k gp you can buy a Divine Coin from Mr Ex, which when offered upon death will return you to life just once. You can buy another at total level 1600 for 10m gp. This means there is a maximum of 2 extra lives and no further. "

- It wonder if consuming a sign of life will count as a death. If it doesn't, having a sign equipped and a teleport handy at all (potentially risky) times seems like the way to go. Grasle (talk) 06:26, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
- I doubt it; death is death. If you narrowly escape it, you escape it. Besides, the players have to make their own signs of life to use that strategy... Which means they'll need to get a diamond (ring) for every sign of life; and they're not really that common. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 06:56, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

- Jar of Divine Light does sit in your inventory or bank, unlike the Divine Coin you can buy at skill 1000 O3 Depleter (talk) 08:23, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
New Account?
lets say i wanted to create an ironman account, but i wanted to keep my existing account. Would i have to make a new account, and pay for membership again, or would i be able to mooch off of my existing membership like in Runescape Classic?

- This requires an entirely new account with an entirely new membership subscription. Jundis (talk) 02:14, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

- Even though this is verifiable, I don't see any value in it. We've never been about tracking random achievements. MolMan 20:34, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
Gravestones
Do gravestones exist for regular Ironman? Do they work the same as in regular mode?
Article says if you die in Hardcore you lose all but 3 items. Is that items worn/inv or all items including bank? Needs to be clarified. Mamabear47 (talk) 01:34, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
..toggle off at any time...
Can you downgrade account at any time for free? Or only with Jar of Light? If actually at any time, then how? Needs details. Mamabear47 (talk) 01:36, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
You can downgrade your account, but it takes 100k to downgrade from HC to regular ironman, and another 100k to quit ironman entirely Jimfromtx (talk) 02:40, October 22, 2014 (UTC)
First 99's
I think it would be an interesting idea to note who first reached 99 in each skill in HC, as it does broadcast it to all servers. So far, I know of StuckInADaze, 99 runecrafting. Not sure if Iron Dylan x or cows R us was first to 99 dungeoneering. Printmachien, Iron Crab, and Too Spooked for 99 thieving. Potentially forum trawling would dig up exactly who was first. Though then the question is, do we do separate for HC and non-HC, as the site does, or merge them? Jimfromtx (talk) 02:48, October 22, 2014 (UTC)
Update, DIY Oddish is the first HC Ironman to skill total 1500. Jimfromtx (talk) 01:54, October 23, 2014 (UTC)
- We've been keeping track of the 99 milestones on Skill Mastery. It's better to keep this page just about ironman, and have achievements listed on the other page. MolMan 01:55, October 23, 2014 (UTC)
Achievements?
What about ironman specific achievements, such as Totem Pole Position? I don't see them mentioned anywhere in this wikia. — S a l (talk) 03:11, October 24, 2014 (UTC)
- That's as in task sets? I've seen a couple edits by people fixing tasks pages, and you're free to add any that you find to be missing. MolMan 03:14, October 24, 2014 (UTC)
Money making methods?
What about MMG for the ironmen? Serscull 15:49, November 23, 2014 (UTC)
