Ironman Starter Pack
Teleporter
To help you navigate around the server, you can use the Teleporter interface to find useful teleports. Located in your spellbook, you can open the Teleporter by right clicking the Home Teleport and finding the option Teleporter.
Ironman
SpoilerSo, you’ve chosen to play on an Iron Man account? Despite the restrictions and XP rates listed in the Game Mode Setup, there are some things you should know before taking off on your adventure. First, you’ll want to head into the Home Area’s bank, go to the northeast corner, and find the Ironman Manager. He can help you receive your Ironman Armour, turn your game mode back into a regular player (also known as de-ironing), and has two Ironman exclusive shops.
All around, the Ironman Manager is very helpful to you, an Ironman. He offers two shops that have important items for starting your account on this game mode. From Melee and Range to Magic equipment, the Ironman Manager has you covered. But, he only offers low to mid tier equipment. What about whenever you improve your combat skills and no longer have use for these items? Well, you have to turn to other methods to receive some items. Like we see in Shop 1, the best melee weapon the manager offers is a Brine Sabre, which requires 40 Attack to equip and use. The Brine Sabre is useful once you achieve 40 Attack, however are you going to continue to use it all the way until 99? No, you will need to have the next best weapon to continue improving your account. That’s where the Dragon Scimitar comes into play.
Although the Dragon Scimitar isn’t available for purchase in the Ironman Manager’s Shops and Ironmen can not use the Melee Shop, you will have to head to Daga’s Scimitar Smithy shop in Ape Atoll. In order to use the shop, you will need the following:
• Combat Level of 60
• 100,000 (100K) Coins
• Range Prayer or someone to tank range hitsOnce you have these requirements, it’s time to head to Ape Atoll. You can teleport to Ape Atoll quickly by using the Teleporter in your spellbook, going into the Dungeons category, and selecting the Ape Atoll teleport. After teleporting, you will be right outside of the Ape Atoll Dungeon, next to the ladder. You will need to run Northwest until you find the gate, go through the gate, run east until you find Daga’s house.
Talk to Daga and open the shop. The Dragon Scimitar can be bought for 100K coins.
Quests
SpoilerOne optional feature we have on Zaros are Quests. Currently, we have 13 free to play quests as well as an additional Members quest from OSRS, Recipe for Disaster (RFD). You might be worrying, why should I even complete these quests? Since the quests are very simple to complete, each quest isn’t a hassle on your Zaros experience and they offer some interesting rewards. Some rewards include 50%-increase Experience books, Crystal Keys, Coins and only fun prizes. For example, here are the rewards for completing RFD.

You're welcome
The IPS 2FA isn't being used on the site. It would have to be added to the site directly.

Support.
Definitely something that needs to be added.

The point of the hype is be exciting after seeing the content that has been posted in the #sneak-peek channel on the discord server. The devs have been showing off content they have added into the game and its functionality or mechanics. Yes, you won't know how it feels to play until you actually play, but that's what the hype is all about. Full details of game modes and experience rates will be announced sometime this weekend. Wait until November 27th to log into the server, get your own feel of it, and then make your judgement if you want to continue playing or go back to OSRS.

Much obliged for the guide, @Setup. I stumbled upon Sigcord via Rune-Server last month, it is an orderly feature. Does it support GIFs yet?
There currently isn’t gif support yet.

Welcome Nes. Glad to see you finally made your way over here 🙂

This is a very easy to follow guide that will allow you to add your Discord information, using an auto-generated image, to your forum signature.
First, you will need to turn on Developer Mode
Go into your user settings, find Appearance, and scroll down until you find Developer Mode. Go ahead and toggle that on.
Next, you will have to find and copy your Unique ID. You can do this by right clicking on your name (in a message or online list) and find Copy ID
Finally, use the link provided below to auto generate an image that will become your signature.
https://sigcord.io/user/(insert your copied unique ID here)
Example:
https://sigcord.io/user/214198994560221184
And that's it! Enjoy your new auto generated signature.

Don't really see the need for QA testers from the community if you have a large enough staff team that can handle it. Staff members are usually eager to contribute more anyway, so this would be an area to pick up slack to prevent buggy updates.
Sure the staff team can handle it and test, but you have to account for the other responsiblities staff members have to deal with. Because of this, they aren't able to spend much time to testing new content. Having a dedicated team, just for testing, newer content will feel more "complete" and bug free once updated to the live game.

I think it is a great idea to get a few quality testers but I do feel as tho that rank should be server “staff” it should not be something easy to get the should be quite invested in the server and show dedication.
Of course. Similiar to how Ikov handles Content Testers, this would be something that members will have to apply for, such as Server Support. The applications can be reviewed by either Developers or Administrators with trust and dedication to the server kept in mind.

I feel like services that require someone to access your account (ie: inferno, fight caves, gauntlet) are unsafe and should not be accept. Not only does it make the inferno cape and other mini games less impressive to achieve it leads to compromised accounts
Just like Ikov, using services, that require access to your account should be used at your OWN RISK. Expressed in the official Zaros rules, account sharing is not against the rules, however it is your own responsiblity if your account is compromised. I'm sure most of us are smart enough to know who to trust, who not to trust, or simply not let people use the account you also play on. I understand that some of us have brothers, sisters, or friends who we trust greatly, however please ask them to make their own account when playing. For one, this will allow your account to be protected, but also allowing the other person to save their own progress.

It's nice to see you finally made an introduction.
Welcome 🙂

I'm glad to see you finally made an introduction here. Super chill guy and can't wait to play alongside you on release 🙂

Welcome to Zaros, Deacon. I really enjoy seeing account progression on mobile only players. Personally, I'm not a mobile player or a fan of mobile gaming, but then I am always fascinated with accounts and its progression for players that do limit themselves to mobile only. If you're interested and wanting to, you could create a Goals & Achievements thread in the forum linked before. It definitely will be something that I follow 🙂

"Dear COVID,
You surprised us with your entrance and invasion in our lives. Your wave across the country felt too distant and then within moments came crashing down on us. At first your presence gave many people the chance to slow down, the chance to make and eat meals as a family and the chance for parents to get involved in kids' schooling again. They have been good lessons and you have given us sufficient practice. Thank you.
You have overstayed your welcome though. Your social effects are worse than your illness. We have lost loved ones and not been able to gather, grieve or support our families or friends. We have loved ones sick and hospitalized, for a multitude of reasons, whom we have to leave, isolated in the hospitals with no support system. They lie alone in the hospital bed and their loved ones lie alone at home.
Enough."
Welcome to Zaros, corona

He seems like a very knowledgeable and valuable member that I feel would do well in the last month of the beta. His ironman's total level, on OSRS, is 1,950, which means he has almost experienced majority of what the ironman game mode has to offer and could easily spot indifferences in the game mode on Zaros. I also took the time to check out his Github, where he has created and contributed to numerous interesting projects. Although I can not attest to his quality in code, I do, however, believe he would make a good addition to the beta testing for our last month and be able to iron out any remaining bugs we may have left.
*No pun intended, I promise*
