Ironman Money Making

Making GP as an Ironman is fundamentally different from a main account. You cannot use the Grand Exchange, so you need alternative methods to fund your skills and supplies.

Best Methods

1. High Alchemy (Primary Income)

GP/Hour: 500K-1M+
Alch drops from Slayer, bossing, and other activities. Save all alchable drops (Rune items, Dragon items, jewelry) and alch during downtime. This is your bread and butter.

2. Thieving Elves (91+)

GP/Hour: 2-3M (after Song of the Elves)
Enhanced Crystal Keys, Crystal Shards, and coins from pickpocketing Elves in Prifddinas. The best raw GP method for Ironmen.

3. Thieving Master Farmers (38+)

Reward: Herb and seed supply
Not direct GP but saves millions in farming supplies. Essential for maintaining herb runs.

4. Gargoyles (75 Slayer)

GP/Hour: 500K-800K in alchs
Gargoyles drop tonnes of alchable items. AFK with auto-smash. Great during Slayer tasks.

5. Shop Runs

Buy items from NPC shops and alch or use them:

Battlestaves: Buy from Zaff daily, alch for profit
Rune shops: Buy runes for Magic training from various shops
Ore shops: Buy ores for Smithing from Blast Furnace shop

6. Bossing Alchables

Bosses like Vorkath, Zulrah, and DKs drop valuable alchable items. Kill bosses primarily for their unique drops but alch everything else.

7. Corrupted Gauntlet

GP/Hour: 1-2M in alchs and shards
Zero supply cost. Drops Crystal Shards (used for many things) and valuable alchables.

Ironman GP Tips

Never drop alchables. Bank everything and alch in bulk
Bring a Nature Rune stack and Fire Staff everywhere. Alch between activities
Shop runs add up. 5 minutes daily for significant GP
Slayer is your primary GP source. Most Slayer drops are alchable
