Someone must have managed to skip the tutorial and was playing as an ultimate Ironman all along, and is now broken as a person because of the revelation that they could've been banking items.

Accidental Ironman is the dumbest, yet strongest of all the ironmen.

Forgot to do the Golden Partyhat stuff and I'm missing out on one of the most valuable items in recent history.

I'm jumping into RS3 for the first time. I created an non-ironman account. Did I make a mistake? From what I've read, ironman is the way to play, even as a beginner.

I don't think you made a mistake. Economy and player interaction is fun. Enjoy yourself and don't overthink it.

I played runescape a ton from 2001 to late 2002. I put in a ticket to try and get my old character. I remember having a ton of party hats and other things from the time. I wonder if they'll come through and restore my character? I'll report back when they respond to my ticket

Good luck! Don't trade those party hats until you do research into them. They're worth thousands of IRL dollars.

Adding onto the F2P experience: The way leveling works you won't hit any significant roadblocks until you know if you like the game or not. You might hit areas you can't go to, but you won't see players running around with equipment you can't get yet. (And if you do, they can't be used on free worlds anyway.)

It also creates a sort of secondary market where things like Rune items are worth more because it's the best gear for a chunk of the playerbase.

I am having such a delightful time this morning running around and exploring, killing things and selling the bones for cash. I helped out a chef, did a quest for a wizard, and I need to buy a shovel. :allears:

This feels like the platonic ideal of an mmorpg as it's just...you've got skills and a sandbox, get to it! And the stories are charming old school fantasy so far.

e: Why can't I sell cowhide?

If you're hurting for coins, I'd be happy to give you some.

I'd be playing OSRS Fresh Start but I'd have to have a second membership and I really do not want to have two accounts. :|

My personal favorite video guides are made by Protoxx--he's got a few videos for players returning to RS3 after a long period of time such as this and this. I'd also highly recommend just asking in the Discord or in clan chat, we're a friendly bunch and have plenty of time to answer questions while we click between rocks.

GoonScape is BestScape. :)

I gotta be honest, Necromancy in RS3 doesn't seem great. It seems like they're doing way too much.

Looking at OSRS... But fresh start has me worried there, too. Less worried, but still.

The first Necromancer approaches you as you level up your Dungeoneering using a medium XP lamp.

"Adventurer... You have a great capability for learning... Unlike most mortals... Do you have stairs in your house?"
