The Restless Ghost: Completes early prayer training and RuneScape gold grants experience.
Imp Catcher: Provides access to air, water, earth, and fire runes, which are essential for your magic training.
Rune Mysteries: Unlocks Runecrafting, a critical skill for an Ironman since rune crafting is required to create your own runes.
Additionally, certain quests unlock new areas that are essential for progression, such as The Grand Tree (which grants access to the Tree Gnome Stronghold) and Lost City (to access the Dragon longsword and other Dragon-related content).
Make a Sustainable Resource Gathering Plan
You can’t rely on other players to provide resources, so you’ll need to gather everything. Prioritize essential resources early on:
Woodcutting: Woodcutting is an excellent early-game skill for gathering logs, which are useful for Firemaking, Fletching, and Construction. A bronze or iron axe is sufficient initially, and your goal is to quickly access yew logs for future crafting needs.
Mining: Mining allows you to gather ores for smithing, which is essential for gear upgrades. Copper and tin are the first ores you’ll mine, and you’ll eventually move on to iron, coal, and mithril.
Fishing: Fishing is a reliable source of food, and early access to shrimp and anchovies can get you through the initial stages of combat. Eventually, aim for salmon, tuna, and lobsters as you progress.
Woodcutting and Firemaking: These two skills are perfect early-game activities. You’ll need logs for both skills, and Firemaking can be trained while you cut logs, making it a natural combo.
Herblore: While this can be a grind later, early on, herb farming and the creation of basic potions such as strength, prayer, and RuneScape gold for sale combat potions will help you survive longer in combat scenarios.
