===== Getting started =====

==== How to become an Ironman ====

When making a new account, you have the option to create a regular account, an Ironman, a Hardcore Ironman, or an Ultimate Ironman. The starting items differ for each game mode.

<tabbox Ultimate>
{{guides:ironmanguides:ultimate_game_mode.png?nolink|Ultimate Ironman Game Mode Selection Screen}}

</tabbox>

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 ====

  * Keep in mind that this guide aims to provide tips and factual information and not be a walkthrough. Everyone has and should stay with their own playstyle. Not always is the fastest and best method the most fun method.

  * Of all the RSPSs out there, PKHonor has one of the most, if not the most, Ironman friendly server. [citation needed]

  * This guide is mostly written by Joepie in April of 2018. Updates past that date might not be considered.

  * If you see any mistake, feel free to fix it. Become a contributor by following [[info:contributing|this link]].

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

  * The Wise Old Man in Edgeville has 38 tasks for you to complete. Completing these is a good introduction to the concept of becoming an Ironman in PKHonor. Check [[guides:achievement_diaries:wise_old_man|this guide]] for more info.

  * Donator and Premium status let you train more efficiently by providing equipment and giving access to extra bosses and areas such as the [[npcs:corporeal_beast|Corporeal Beast]] and [[npcs:zulrah|Zulrah]]. 

  * The [[items:max_cape|Max Cape]] and [[items:completionist_cape|Completionist Cape]] are the ultimate items to get in PKHonor. However, they have a long list of requirements. A [[items:max_cape|Max Cape]] can take anywhere from 100-500 hours for an ironman to obtain, while the enchanted [[items:completionist_cape|Completionist Cape]] can take well over 1000 hours.

  * Almost all boss monsters have a chance at dropping a baby version of themselves as a [[guides:misc:pets|Pet]].
    * While attacking the monster of which you have a pet following you, it has a chance of being unable to attack you. 
    * If you feed them an ex-ex parrot they will give you an increased chance at receiving good loot from any monster, like the Ring of Wealth does. 

  * As an absolute ultimate goal you could get all skills to 2B xp (maximum in PKHonor), which as of writing only one person has been able to do in the [[https://highscores.pkhonor.net/?m=ironman|Ironman Highscores]].

===== 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 ====
  * To get your first combat levels you can train at Rock Crabs (from the spellbook: combat training -> Rellekka) and have a chance to get Rock-shell armor as a drop. (Rock-shell has the same defensive bonuses as rune armor).
  * Instead of training at Rock Crabs you could get an easy Slayer task at Turael to get started (which can assign Rock Crabs as a task anyway).
  * Once you have some money you can buy some additional armour at the Armour and Weapons store at ''::shops'' (enter this in the chat box). The Rune boots and Dragon gloves will give some offensive and defensive bonuses. If you have obtained some PkHonor points as well, you can buy a Fighter Torso (140 PkPts) and Barrows Gloves (70 PkPts) from the PkHonor Exchange shop.

  * Once you have gained some decent combat levels you can start doing slayer tasks. See the [[skills:slayer|Slayer Guide]] for more info about the art of Slayer. A few tips to get started:
    * Start with a medium task then do a few hard ones.
    * Make sure you buy an enchanted gem from the slayer master to find out how many monsters you have left to kill for your task and where they are located.
    * Once you have 300 slayer points and 2m cash you can buy a Slayer Helmet for extra accuracy and damage while meleeing.  The Slayer Helmet (i) is an upgraded version where the accuracy and damage bonus also apply to ranged and magic attacks but costs an extra 700 slayer points.
    * For 2000 slayer points you can buy a bonecrusher that buries (unnoted) bones received as a drop automatically for the same xp as you would have gotten if you'd used them on a Gilded Altar.

  * Kill some dragons (spellbook -> Monsters -> Dragons) and use their bones on the altar at ''::skilling'' to get a few prayer levels.
    * Don't forget an antifire shield. It can be bought at the supplies store at ''::shops''.

==== Getting gear ====
Check the [[stats:drops|Drop List]] for items you might want and then look for the corresponding [[guides:pvm_guides|PvM Guide]] if it's available.
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:welfare_gear.png|}}
  * The rune scimitar that you entered PKHonor with is decent as a start and will be your best weapon for a while. Through PvM'ing you might get a dragon weapon which is a small increase in your DPS (damage per second). To obtain a strong melee weapon you could either kill Abyssal Demons for an Abyssal Whip when you achieve 85 Slayer or kill [[npcs:lost_souls|Lost Souls]] in the wilderness for the PkHonor Points to buy a Chaotic Rapier. The Chaotic rapier has higher DPS than a whip and costs 1200 PkHonor points. 

  * Strong early defensive gear are the items obtain from the Barrows Brothers. To get Barrows items, you can do either kill each brother in their own crypt and loot their chest or do Risky Barrows. See the [[minigames:barrows|(Risky) Barrows guide]] on how to get there and more information.
    * Risky Barrows is too difficult to obtain your first Barrows gear, you will need a Dwarf Cannon as well. 
    * You will need a spade for the regular Barrows.
    * You can reset your Barrows killcount by talking to the old man or with ''::resetbarrows''

  * Getting a firecape - Bring melee for the waves leading up to Jad. The mage minions (level 360 Ket-Zek) don't attack with melee, so range them with mage protection on.
    * Check [[minigames:tzhaar_fight_cave|the Tzhaar Caves Guide]] for more tips.

  * 99 Herblore is a highly suggested skill to get when starting your Ironman. You can make Super prayer potions, Saradomin brews and Overloads for PvM'ing. Those will be your bread and butter for bossing. For the quickest leveling method and how to make various potions visit the [[skills:herblore|Herblore guide]].

  * At 99 [[skills:runecrafting|Runecrafting]] you can make teletabs. Teletabs provide a quick escape when you are on the brink of death or in an area where you are constantly under attack. Before you have access to teletabs take a law rune and some air runes with you!
==== 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 [[items:ecumenical_key|Ecumenical Key]] to skip getting the killcount. Important items to obtain are:

  * From [[npcs:kril_tsutsaroth|K'ril Tsuratoth]] (Zamorak): The Staff of the Dead is a strong magic staff that can negate the cost of some runes. The Zamorakian hasta and spear are very effective when killing [[npcs:glacor|Glacors]] or [[npcs:cerberus|]].

  * From [[npcs:general_graardor|General Graardor]] (Bandos): The full Bandos set is needed for the [[guides:quests:the_last_journey|The Last Journey Quest]]. The Bandos chestplate en tassets are extremely good armor for melee PvM, giving good defence and some strength bonus. 
    * Don't forget your hammer when getting the killcount!
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:ranged_gwd_gear.png|}}
  * From [[npcs:commander_zilyana|Commander Zilyana]] (Saradomin): The Armadyl Crossbow is the best crossbow in PKHonor. It has a special attack that activates the special ability of the enchanted bolts you have equipped. The Saradomin Godsword has a special attack that replenishes some health and prayer points, ideal for staying a bit longer while PvM'ing.

  * From [[npcs:kree_arra|Kree'Arra]] (Armadyl): The full Armadyl set is needed for the [[guides:quests:the_last_journey|The Last Journey Quest]]. The Armadyl chestplate and chainskirt are extremely good armor for ranged PvM, giving a good ranging strength bonus.
    * The easiest way to get killcount for Kree'Arra is with the use of a Dwarven Cannon. 
    * Don't forget a mithril grapple. A mithril grapple can be obtained as a drop from Aviansies.

  * From [[npcs:nex|Nex]] (Zaros): It drops Torva (melee), Pernix (ranged) and Virtus (magic) which is the absolute best armor for its respective combat category to wear. You will need to have completed the [[guides:quests:correcting_history|Correcting History Quest]] to unlock Nex.

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 [[guides:misc:ironman_spawners|spawners]] to spawn those bosses in the Wilderness for themselves. For the Wilderness diary a lot bosses will have to be slain.

  * Be careful: PK'ers like to get an easy kill on an unsuspecting PvM'er in deep wilderness. Make sure you don't risk valuable items before you enter the Wildernes. Once a PK'er kills you they get a coinstack equal to the alchprice of the items you risk. 

  * The spawner west of mage bank is in a single target zone so you cannot be oneshot by a clan, however it is very deep wilderness. If a pker were to teleblock you have very limited escapes. Taking a lock pick, obtained from pickpocketing a rogue in [[guides:quests:the_last_journey|The Last Journey Quest]] you can try to escape by entering the house north of the spawner and use ''::home'' to teleport away.

  * The [[npcs:king_black_dragon|King Black Dragon]], [[npcs:chaos_elemental|Chaos Elemental]], [[npcs:wildywyrm|Wildywyrm]] and [[npcs:frost_dragon|Frost Dragon]] each have an ultra rare special diamond drop. If you combine all four you can make a 'perfect ring' which has the best stats of any ring in the game giving +6 in all stats and has a chance of doubling any received points. Only the Frost Dragons in the Wilderness can drop the Ice Diamond. 

  * Don't bother doing the [[npcs:wildywyrm|Wildywyrm minigame]] as an ironman. If they have attacked anybody while you were not there yet you don't get a drop or points.

  * [[npcs:wildywyrm|Wildywyrm]] (through spawning) are the best way to get Pest Control points since the normal minigame you will have to do solo.

  * [[npcs:lost_souls|Lost Souls]] wander around the wilderness and give PKHonor points + Slayer points when killed. They drop pk armor and the ultra rare Salve Amulet. The Salve amulet can be upgraded at a slayer master for 2000 slayer points, 500m gp and 500 pkpoints. The enchanted Salve amulet works as a soulsplit on undead creatures and has the same stats as a amulet of fury with some added prayer bonusses. When you die while wearing an enchanted salve amulet the amulet gets destroyed and you keep your other items.

==== Prayer ====
Using the correct [[skills:prayer|Prayer]] is crucial to keep PvM'ing for as long as possible and not wasting food.
  * [[npcs:frost_dragon|Frost Dragons]] are the best way to get Prayer xp. They are located at the most northwest part of the wilderness. Once you get premium you can add a portal in your POH that lets you get easy afk-able prayer xp when killed with a Bonecrusher (giving 4x xp) (buyable from the Slayer Store for 2k Slay points).
    * Use bones on an altar for 4x the xp as burying the bones. There is no difference between the altar at ''::skilling::'' or in your PoH (if you have one). Alternatively there is an altar at the Premium Skilling Zone next to a bank.
  * For melee Turmoil is the best but has to be unlocked at the altar in Edgeville. To unlock Endless Ancient Curses it costs 3B coins and 2600-5000 PkPoints (depends on the amount of level 99 skills you have).
  * For Ranged the Rigour prayer and for Magic the Augury prayer are the best but they have to be unlocked with scrolls that can be obtained as a drop from either the [[npcs:kalphite_queen|Kalphite Queen]] or the [[npcs:chaos_elemental|Chaos Elemental]].

==== 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 [[guides:clue_scrolls|Clue Scroll Guide]] for help on how to complete challenges.  

   * Master Clue Scrolls are obtained by trading an easy, a medium, a hard and an elite Clue Scroll to Watson at Home, north of the PoH portal.
   * For a detailed comparison between master and elite clues for ironmen check the results of opening 5000 of both chests at [[https://forums.pkhonor.net/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=78953|Ironman Elite and Master Clue Drop Rate thread]].
     * Here you can also get a quick overview of all the possible rewards.
     * Thoby has released more information about the exact calculation for the ironmen rewards at[[https://forums.pkhonor.net/viewtopic.php?f=134&t=79463&start=10#p696375|this thread]]

   * On top of the normal items, Clue Scroll caskets opened by ironman have a chance of containing:
    * hard clues - an ex-ex-parrot, brown afro, rainbow afro, any colored dark bow, book of law, book of war, book of darkness, ancient prayers book (for 1 hour curses), ring of vigour or imbue scroll (on top of the normal items).
    * Elite & Master clues - any custom whip, a black partyhat, a rainbow partyhat, any of the 7 other partyhats, any h'ween mask, sled, santa hat, fancy boots, fighting boots, a chicken costume piece, powdered wig, flared trousers, pantaloons, sleeping cap, any of the elegant robes, any cane, top hat, any animal head, any animal staff, easter ring, basket of eggs, scythe, fox, chicken, camel mask, jack lantern mask, rogue mask, reindeer hat, rubber chicken, bunny ears, fishbowl helmet or a monkey gree'gree.

  * Note that an [[guides:misc:pets|ex-ex parrot]] cannot be bought by an ironman and has to be acquired through the completion of hard treasure trail clues. While PVM'ing it is recommended to wear a Ring of Wealth if trying to get certain items as a drop until you get an ex-ex parrot.

  * [[items:custom_whips|Custom whips]] cannot be bought from the donator store, instead they have to be found from elite or master treasure trail chests. (chance is estimated at 1 in 50). A Custom whip is needed to get an Enchanted Completionist Cape. Some of the Custom whips are the best weapon in PKHonor for PvM.

----
===== Skilling =====

There is a guide for every skill already available at [[guides:skills|Skill Guides]]. Below are tips for non-combat skills. 
  * Any xp amount or rate is without the use of [[items:brawling_gloves|brawling gloves]].

==== Agility ====
To be able to run for as long as you want you should get at least a few [[skills:agility|agility]] levels.
  * At level 99 Agility you will not lose any run energy anymore, allowing you to run forever.
  * To start go to the gnome agility course. (Spellbook -> Skilling -> gnome agility course).
  * At level 60 you can do the Werewolf course. **Bring a lot of normal planks** to fix the zipline.
    * If you bring the stick to the Agility Boss you get 300 xp for each level in a random non-combat skill. 
  * From level 70 you can do the Wilderness Agility course.
  * At level 90 Agility in combination with 95 Hunter you can catch Black Warlocks at ''::skilling''. They give 78750xp when caught. This is the fastest xp from that level.
  * Some Hunter gear provide bonus Agility xp. A Spotted Cape gives 20% bonus and a Spotier Cape (Donator+ only) gives 70%.


==== Thieving ====
For a bit of starting cash you can do [[skills:thieving|Thieving]] at ''::skilling''.
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:pickpocketing_rogues.png|}}
  * From level 75 you can steal gems from the gem stall. This could get you a few dragonstones for an Amulet of Glory and Ring of Wealth. 
  * From level 95 the best way to train is by Thieving Rogues at the bar north of Yanille. 
    * If your combat level is low you don't have to rightclick them. You will have to untick the setting "Always left-click to attack players or NPC's" in ''::settings''. You can lower you combat stats with the commands ''::setlevel''. **This cannot be undone**. See the bottom of [[guides:skills|Skill Guides]] for more info about the level commands.
    * Another trick is to zoom in and have the legs of a rogue between your chatbox and inventory. Then placing your cursor low enough and rightclicking on him your cursor will be above the "pickpocket" option. This allows you to train thieving without moving your cursor.
  * From level 99 you can choose to steal loot from chests at the rogue's castle located in the upper northeast part of the wilderness. 
    * The experience rate is comparable to pickpocketing rogues: 36.0mxp/h at the castle vs 37.6mxp/h pickpocketing rogues in Yanille (both xp rates are without gloves of silence/brawlers).
    * Looting the chest does yield a lot of useful items such as raw dark crabs, lava dragon scales (for extended super antifires)
    * The chest is located deep in the wildy and escaping from pkers, once attacked, will be extremely difficult. However with constant attention you can try to log out before they get to you.
==== Herblore & Farming ====
Having high [[skills:herblore|Herblore]] helps a lot for PvM. To get herbs you need to do [[skills:farming|Farming]]. So grab some cash and start farming (spellbook -> skilling -> Farming). 
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:farming_at_falador.png|}}
  * The Herblore and Farming guides both have an excellent tutorial on how to level their respective skills.
  * Almost all secondaries needed for herblore can be bought from the herblore shop at ''::shops''.
  * Make sure you plant a woad leaf in the flower patch at level 25 Farming to never have your herbs get diseased anymore. (Don't harvest them! Let them just sit there being pretty.)
  * Once your herblore level is high enough, make a big supply of brews, overloads and super prayers.
  * At Falador and Port Phasmatys the Herb patch is next to the Bank Deposite Box.
  * Donators can use super compost on a patch to let it grow quicker and provide more yield when harvested. Through the level 83 magic lunar spell "fertile soil" you can apply supercompost aswell. 
  * Once you are get Premium status you can buy Magic Secateurs in the Premium Store for 5.75m. They let you teleport to any patch by operating them and provide a 10% xp boost.
  * Also from the Premium Store an Adze can be bought for 345m that let you chop down trees easier since you don't have to get rid of the logs anymore as they are immediately set to fire.
  * The Magic tree roots obtained when removing Magic Tree stumps is used for Antidote++ potions that are needed for Antivenom potions.
  * The Bush patch at Premium island has a bank next to it, making the gathering of whiteberries for super defence potions easier.
==== Fishing & Cooking ====
To keep PvM'ing and restore your health you will need some food. Food is acquired by [[skills:cooking|Cooking]] raw fish cought by [[skills:fishing|Fishing]]. Grab a small fishing net from the supplies store to get started at ''::skilling''.
  * You will need 1500 cooked manta rays for the [[guides:quests:correcting_history|Correcting History Quest]] at one point. So while training make sure you keep that in mind.
  * Monkfish are the fastests Fishing xp, especially if you drop the monkfish you've caught while fishing (hold shift). Dropping them however, makes you miss out on the potential Cooking xp.

==== Woodcutting & Firemaking ====
[[skills: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.
  * Once you get access to an Adze Woodcutting and Firemaking are easily trained together by cutting Magic trees.
  * To get 99 Construction you will need about 8500 Mahogany planks which are made from Mahogany logs. Since one mahogany log gives 1900xp you will gain 16.2m xp woodcutting xp just by getting all the logs.
  * Cutting trees planted in your POH give a 15% xp boost.
==== 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 [[skills:smithing|Smithing]] to get a better axe (or kill [[guides:dagannoth_kings|Dagannoth Kings (DKS)]] for a chance at a Dragon axe).
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:smithing_at_premskill.png|}}
  * [[skills:mining|Mining]] can easily be done at ''::skilling''. 
    * The runite ore rocks at ''::skilling'' are only for Donator+.
    * Non-Donators can get runite ores at the end of the basement of the Heroes Guild. There is a Bank deposite box there that can be used when your mining level is at least 93. 
    * Smithing and Mining at ''::skilling'' provide a 5% experience bonus over any location outside.
  * When smithing a big amount of runite and adamant bars you have four options:
    * Dart Tips - Once you obtain a Toxic Blowpipe you will need a lot of darts to keep shooting with it. You can either get them through slayer or smith them yourself. A single rune bar will provide 12k Fletch xp.
    * Bolt Tips - After adding feathers to the unfinished bolt tips you can also enchant them by adding bolt tips. Doing so will provide even more fletch xp and some magic xp. However, you will need to have the gems to do so. A single rune bar will provide 12k fletching xp for adding feathers to the unfinished bolt tips. 
      * Adding 10 dragonstone tips will give another 14k fletching and 20k magic xp. 
      * From a single onyx gem you will get 500 bolt tips. Adding these to rune bolts yields 1625k fletch xp. Or 32.5k per 10 bolts tips.
    * Arrow Tips - From a bar you will get 15 arrow tips and adding these to headless arrows gives more xp than from dart tips. A single rune bar will provide 22.5k fletching xp.
    * Platebodies - Are the quickest to get smith xp with, but will, ofcourse, not provide any fletching xp. They can be sold for some extra cash.
  * The Supplies Store stocks Coal Bags (for 200k gp) that can hold 27 coal ore. 
    * As an example, with a Coal Bag you can smelt 10 rune bars instead of 5, in one inventory.
  * At some point you might get a Draconic Visage as a drop from dragons. This can be combined with a regular antifire shield for a very strong shield that also gives some strength bonus. It requires 95 Smithing to combine.
  * Note that to get Construction to level 99 you will need almost 8500 gold leaves which are made from gold bars. Since every bar smelts for 1450 xp this accumulates to 12.3m smith xp as well as 17.0m Mining xp if you get the ore yourself.
  * Uncut dragonstone gems that are randomly obtained during mining can be sold to the store for 1.25m or kept to make dragonbolts.
  * The Sacred clay pickaxe that can be bought at the donator store provides a 50% xp boost while mining.
  * For Premium member the anvil and furnace closest to a bank is at the premium skilling zone.
    * The closest furnace for non-premium members is in the crafting guild (requires 70 crafting to enter)
    * The closest anvil is at west-varrock. However the one at ''::skilling'' has a furnace next to it.
  * At 99 mining and 99 crafting you can mine Marble Blocks at either ''::skilling'' or the Crafting Guild while having a chisel and hammer in your inventory. This gives 15k crafting and mining xp per block.
    * When holding shift and clicking the blocks in your inventory you can mine indefinitely.
    * The 50% xp boost from the Sacred clay pickaxe also applies to the crafting xp.

==== Crafting & Fletching ====
To level up [[skills:crafting|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 [[skills:fletching|Fletching]] skill. 
  * You're going to make money if you sell the diamond bolt tips to the junk store (4.5k per diamond).
  * Be wary that sapphires are expensive in the store since they are used for Rings of Recoil. 
  * Note that for the [[guides:quests:correcting_history|Correcting History Quest]] you need 200 sets of Green Dragonhide.
    * Three hides are needed per body, two for chaps and one for vambraces making a total of 1200 hides for the sets.
  * Make yourself a few sets of Black Dragonhide that you can use while PvM'ing in dangerous areas such as the wildy. It has great defensive stats.
  * Fast Fletching xp can be obtained by attaching feathers to arrow shafts. Feathers can be bought from the supply store. Arrow shafts are obtained through Fletching by using a knife on logs.
    * [[npcs:vetion|Vet'ion]] often drops large amounts of magic logs that can be fletched into arrow shafts.
    * [[npcs:evil_chicken|The Evil Chicken]] drops a lot of feathers on every kill. Feathers are obtained faster by killing these than to wait for the shop to restock.

==== 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 [[skills:runecrafting|Runecrafting Guide]] for info on how to get started.
  * Essence can be bought from the supply store but gives only one rune per essence while pure essence that can be mined in the pure essence mine (accessible from the Mage of Zamorak at Home) give three times the essence __and__ xp.
  * Runecrafting pouches can be obtained by killing Abyssal monsters in the Abyss (also accessible from the Mage of Zamorak at Home).
    * There are four different pouches: a small, medium, large and giant pouch. Each able to hold 3, 6, 9 and 12 essence respectively.
  * A really good source of Pure Essence is [[npcs:zulrah|Zulrah]] since it drops 500, 2.5k, 5k or 10k pure essence at a time.
  * An easier source of Pure Essence is from Drakes in the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon.
  * At 99 Runecrafting you can make teletabs at a lectern from soft clay, a law rune and 3 air runes.
    * Soft clay is made by mining clay (easily mined at the Crafting Guild) and made wet in a sink (also at the Guild).
    * Using the Lunar Spell Humidify you will instantly create soft clay from all the clay in your inventory.

==== Hunter ====
[[skills:hunter|Hunter]] is a slow-paced skill to train, but it's very rewarding towards the end.
{{ :guides:ironmanguides:hunting_warlocks_kinglies.png|}}
  * At 91 Hunter you unlock the ability to catch Kingly implings. They high alch for 600k and if released or caught bare handed have a chance of dropping a royal piece, uncut onyx, uncut dragonstone or 250k cash.
    * A full royal set is needed for the [[guides:quests:correcting_history|Correcting History Quest ]] and a piece alchs for 45-60m depending on which piece.
    * If you wear a Strung Rabbit Foot your chance at loot increases with 20%.
    * You will need a lot of Onyxes (5 in total) for Clue scroll items (Onyx Amulet and Ring), Wise Old Man achievements (1000 Onyx Bolts) and of course the Amulet of Fury.
  * Gloves of silence, made from dark kebbit fur, lets you always succesfully pickpocket NPCs and gives a 15% xp boost.
  * The spotted cape, made from spotted kebbit fur, gives 20% increased agility xp.
  * The spotier cape, made from dashing kebbit fur, gives 70% increased agility xp.
  * Black Warlocks at 95 hunter (with 90 agility) give 75k agility xp when caught. Even more if you wear your spotted or spotier cape.
  * Black aswell as red chinchompas are great for quick leveling of your ranged level. Check [[skills:ranged|this guide]] on how to do efficiently do it.
    * When going for Hunting xp after level 99, Black Chinchompas have the highest xp rates. 
    * There is only one good spot at level 32 wilderness, so beaware of PK'ers and players that will take that spot by force.

==== Construction ====
Construction is a skill that takes a lot of time, money and clicking to level, but the skill is extremely worth it. 
  * There is an excellent guide for [[skills:construction|Construction]] that covers the bonuses from the different rooms and objects.
  * You will need 8500 gold leaves and 8500 mahogany planks to get 99 construction. A gold leave costs 150k to make from a gold bar and a Mahogany plank costs 60k (or 54k on a workbench in your house). So it will also cost 1.8b gp to just get the supplies.
    * Gold ore can best be mined in the Crafting Guild
    * Mahogany can be cut at the Woodcutting teleport or at ''::skilling''
  * At level 99 Construction you gain the ability to buy brawler gloves from the Estate agent. Brawlers give 30% extra exp when doing the skill they are associated with. They cost 500m + 500 pk points per set of gloves (the melee and slayer brawlers cost 750m + 750 pk points).
    * Note that the Thieving brawlers are not worth it since the gloves of silence never lets you fail and only gives 15% less xp.
    * The slayer brawlers also increase the slayer points you get by 30%.
    * The melee, ranging and mage brawlers also increase hitpoints xp received.
  * To buy and track your progress for the [[items:max_cape|Max Cape]] & [[items:completionist_cape|Completionist Cape]] you need a Cape Rack in the Costume Room.
