Regular Starter Pack 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 Spoiler So, 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 hits Once 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 Spoiler One 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.
