Group Ironman in 2026

Group Ironman (GIM) lets you play OSRS as a self-sufficient team of 2-5 players. You can trade freely within your group but cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade outsiders. It combines the Ironman challenge with the social aspect of playing with friends, making it one of the best ways to experience OSRS.

Setting Up Your Group

Team Size

2 players: Intimate, but workload is heavy. Both need to be active.
3-4 players: Sweet spot. Enough people to specialize without too much competition for resources.
5 players: Maximum group. More resources shared but harder to coordinate schedules.

Role Assignment

Assign specialties early to avoid duplicate effort:

The PvMer: Focuses on combat, Slayer, and boss drops. Supplies the group with gear.
The Skiller: Focuses on gathering skills (Farming, Fishing, Mining) and supplies (food, potions).
The Quester: Rushes quest content for shared unlocks like Fairy Rings, Spirit Trees, and teleports.
The Crafter: Handles Crafting, Smithing, and Fletching for equipment.

Early Game Strategy

Everyone does Waterfall Quest for instant combat levels
Assign Wintertodt to one player for early seeds and supplies
Rush Fairy Tale Part 2 for fairy ring access
Start herb and birdhouse runs ASAP — share herbs through group storage
One player rushes 43 Prayer using group-gathered bones

Group Storage

GIM groups have a shared storage system. Use it strategically:

Store duplicate drops for teammates who need them
Share farming supplies (seeds, compost) for maximum herb output
Pool resources for expensive skills like Construction and Prayer

Mid-Game Goals

All members get Barrows Gloves (share quest supplies)
One player focuses on Slayer for Trident, Whip, and Zenyte drops
Group Barrows runs for armor and GP splits
Corrupted Gauntlet for Bowfa (the most important Iron grind)
