Congratulations on achieving Barrows gloves on your Old School Runescape Ironman account! This marks a significant milestone, but the journey to endgame efficiency is far from over. This guide outlines key goals and strategies to propel your Ironman account forward after acquiring Barrows gloves.
Goals After Barrows Gloves
Mining to Level 70
Reaching 70 Mining is a crucial step for several reasons. While 60 Mining might seem sufficient initially, aiming for 70 unlocks “Making Friends with My Arm” quest upon reaching 72 Mining (boostable with dwarven stout (m)). Completing this quest and Fremennik Hard Diary early grants access to the valuable herb patch shortcut in Fremennik Province, significantly improving herb run efficiency. Consider pre-preparing by filling the sandstone grinder with approximately 25,000 buckets of sand. Utilize 8 waterskins, dropping them as they deplete to manage inventory space, and integrate birdhouse runs into your mining sessions to diversify your training. Choose your preferred mining method to reach level 70 efficiently.
Strength Amulet Utility
For melee slayer tasks, a Strength amulet is surprisingly effective, often performing comparably to or even outperforming a Glory amulet in certain scenarios. Utilize the Strength amulet as a reliable neck slot item for your initial melee training.
Prioritize Strength Training in Slayer
During slayer training, prioritize Strength. A balanced approach to melee stats, such as aiming for 65 Attack, 80 Strength, and 65 Defence, is recommended. From this base, incrementally train each skill in 5-level increments before rotating to the next, ensuring well-rounded melee progression.
Turael Point Boosting for Slayer
Consider employing Turael point boosting early in your slayer journey, ideally up to around 150 tasks. Integrate Konar tasks every tenth assignment to unlock beneficial slayer unlocks and optimize your block list. This strategic approach sets a solid foundation for efficient and profitable slayer training later on, although you can tailor your slayer training to your preferences.
Hard Clues and Crafting
Hard clues offer excellent gold per hour at this stage of your Ironman progression. If hard clue steps require crafting blue d’hide armor, prioritize training Crafting using the Superglass Make lunar spell. This not only advances your crafting level but also equips you with valuable Ranged gear.
Slayer Point Spending Priorities
Strategically allocate slayer points to enhance your training. Prioritize unlocks in the following order: Superior Slayer creatures, Block list extensions, extending your preferred tasks, acquiring the Slayer ring, obtaining the Slayer helmet, and finally, Gargoyle smasher.
Recipe for Disaster Questline
Aim to complete Recipe for Disaster around 65 Attack, 80 Strength, and 65 Defence. While achievable at lower combat stats, the final boss fight can be significantly more challenging and time-consuming if your hit accuracy is lacking.
By focusing on these key goals after acquiring Barrows gloves, you’ll establish a robust foundation for efficient mid-game Ironman progression in Old School Runescape. Continue to optimize your training methods and enjoy the journey!
