Ironman
When you make your account, the start screen lets you pick one of 4 modes: Normal, Ironman, Ultimate Ironman or Group Ironman. (The game code calls Ultimate Ironman "Hardcore"; there is no separate Hardcore mode.) Can you change mode later? Ask staff.
The modes
| Mode | Rules (from the start screen) | XP | Drop rate bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | No restrictions | normal | none |
| Ironman | No trading, staking or looting other players. No NPC drop if another player did more damage. You rely on your starter, skilling, PvM and shops. | x1.3 | +18 DR |
| Ultimate Ironman | Ironman rules, and you can't use banks. | x1.3 | +100 DR |
| Group Ironman | Ironman rules, but you can trade, boss and do almost everything with the ironmen in your group. You have 15 minutes to join a group once it is created. | x1.3 | +18 DR |
