There should be an ironmen clanchat that is free to join for any ironman. Ask players online what the current ironmen clanchat is and join it to ask any questions that you might have.

Notes

Goals

There are a lot of goals that can be set in PKHonor. Here are a few things you could aim for.


PvM

Player versus Monster (PvM) is a good way to get money and supplies for skilling, especially when killing bosses. PvM'ing is the most efficient if you have good gear and good combat stats which are ironically (btw) both acquired through PvM itself. Keep in mind that as an ironman you have to do all the damage to a monster yourself and if anybody tanks a hit for you, you won't get the drop. Luckily for ironmen most bosses are instanced (you room for only them) and Wildy bosses can be spawned.

Starting out

Getting gear

Check the Drop List for items you might want and then look for the corresponding PvM Guide if it's available.

Godwars Dungeon

GWD (Godwars Dungeon) is a unique dungeon where 5 bosses roam. To enter the lair of a boss you need get a killcount of 40 by killing minions associated with the god. Or you can bring an Ecumenical Key to skip getting the killcount. Important items to obtain are:

Note that Ecumenical Keys are dropped by wilderness bosses. Those keys let you skip getting the 40 killcount. Keeping one in the bank for the unfortunate moment you die at a boss in the GWD is recommended. You can then easily get your gear back before it disappears forever.

Wildy PvM

The Wilderness contains some strong bosses for players to kill. They have some very good drops such as supplies, alchables and double the chance of dropping clue scrolls. Ironmen get acces to spawners to spawn those bosses in the Wilderness for themselves. For the Wilderness diary a lot bosses will have to be slain.

Prayer

Using the correct Prayer is crucial to keep PvM'ing for as long as possible and not wasting food.

Treasure Trails

Treasure trails are done through Clue Scrolls that are obtained through PvM or some skills (Woodcutting, Fishing and Mining). A clue scroll contains a challenge or clue on how to obtain the next clue or reward chest. Check the Clue Scroll Guide for help on how to complete challenges.


Skilling

There is a guide for every skill already available at Skill Guides. Below are tips for non-combat skills.

Agility

To be able to run for as long as you want you should get at least a few agility levels.

Thieving

For a bit of starting cash you can do Thieving at ::skilling.

Herblore & Farming

Having high Herblore helps a lot for PvM. To get herbs you need to do Farming. So grab some cash and start farming (spellbook → skilling → Farming).

Fishing & Cooking

To keep PvM'ing and restore your health you will need some food. Food is acquired by Cooking raw fish cought by Fishing. Grab a small fishing net from the supplies store to get started at ::skilling.

Woodcutting & Firemaking

Firemaking as of writing doesn't provide much functionality. There is an easily accessible range at ::skilling for cooking. Woodcutting however is needed to train Construction.

Smithing & Mining

You may have noticed that the Pickaxes and Axes store doesn't sell a higher tier axe than bronze. So you will need to do some Smithing to get a better axe (or kill Dagannoth Kings (DKS) for a chance at a Dragon axe).

Crafting & Fletching

To level up Crafting gems are the easiest way. Buy uncut gems and a chisel from the crafting store then cut them. From these cut gems you can make bolt tips through the Fletching skill.

Runecrafting

Since the magic store only sells astral runes to ironmen you will have to craft runes yourself when you want to cast spells. Check the Runecrafting Guide for info on how to get started.

Hunter

Hunter is a slow-paced skill to train, but it's very rewarding towards the end.

Construction

Construction is a skill that takes a lot of time, money and clicking to level, but the skill is extremely worth it.
