19100_hours_and_85_years_later_i_have_maxed_4 from r/2007scapeĪs you might expect, the first maxed-out Ironman was the hardest, or at least took the most time, despite being technically the easiest option. Thus when the Group Ironman option was added, he decided to go for the four-piece. At the time he was racing another player to max all three, a race Devious narrowly lost. But nothing like when Ironman came out.'ĭevious' played a ton of the mode and, after maxing his first Ironman account, decided to move on to the Hardcore and Ultimate modes. I also made a few of the first dragonfire shields that came into the game because my Smithing was so high, so that was cool. I was within the top 10 people to get 99 in the Smithing skill on the game's release, and around top 200 for 99 Slayer. When OSRS came out I grinded pretty hard. 'I never maxed my RS3 account although it does have a lot of 99s. 'I played casually when I was a kid,' Devious told GamesRadar+. Maxing out one is an incredibly rare feat, and arguably not something the mode was ever designed to particularly accommodate, so the commitment here to the ways of OSRS is astounding.ĭevious has a long history with RuneScape, having got into the game as a kid, but it was the release of the Ironman mode in 2014 that tempted him back. Ironman characters are supposed to make even playing the game 'normally' a challenge. You can spot those details also at the top of their post.Eight-and-a-half years and approximately 19,128 hours later, Devious is the first and will possibly be the only OSRS player to have maxed a Normal Ironman, an Ultimate Ironman, a Hardcore Ironman, and a Hardcore Group Ironman (which is allowed a small circle of in-game friends). Jagex have made a few hotfixes already since the launch of Group Ironman mode to address some crashing issues and groups being booted or losing their Ironman status. The Group Ironman poll was the most-voted poll so far, receiving a total of 140,000 player votes and an 80% approval. Jagex explain in their press release today that every content addition for Old School RuneScape is voted on by players and has to receive a 75% majority to pass. I admit I'd be the member of the crew idly standing about towns to casually show off my challenge mode participation.

They also receive a special armor set with big ol' roman numerals on their chests to show the size of their group. Jagex say that grouped up Ironman players have a special name badge that separates them from other players and also solo Ironman players. Personally, I always quite like the showing off part of an MMO, which Ironman groups do have the opportunity for. Jagex share the rest of the particulars on registering and group mechanics in their announcement today. There you'll be able to form a group of up to five, choose a leader and a team name, and register with the Ironman Tutor. Similarly to solo Ironman, players start up a new account and make their way to The Node. Groups will even be able to compete for leaderboard positions and prove that their gang is the greatest supergroup of Old School RuneScape.' 'They can also trade their resources among one another, delve into new Group Storage, and visit each other’s Player Owned Houses.

'Groups of two to five players can join together and take on Gielinor’s nastiest beasts,' Jagex say. Jagex have now added the ability to form a group of up to five players who will all head out into the world as an Ironman team to tackle all of OSRS's big baddies as a crew. Now you'll be able to play alone together. As of today, Ironman Mode is getting a big new change. The special account type requires you to tackle the game without trading, PvP, and other group activities. Old School RuneScape's Ironman Mode is all about going it alone.
