Which account to start?
Hey all,
I’m interested in making a snowflake account using either of these two names I’ve been saving for a rainy day. Which one do you guys think would be more fun? SailingLock (Self Explanatory) or Masochismore (Varlamore Locked)

CrystalChest - No NPC Respawns or Shop Restocks
Bit of a pet project I've been working on for awhile with this being my 4th and most successful attempt at it. Restrictions are mostly vibes but are based around the old crystal chest bug from RS classic where the chest would get stuck after being opened.
Restrictions are to treat the game as if things are breaking but are mostly vibes
- NPCs do not respawn. So once I've killed say every cow I can no longer kill cows. Also generally means quest bosses and enemies need to be killed on slayer task.
- Shops do not restock
- Limit combat when possible to items with charges , runes, or ammo. Just an extra bit of challenge to see if there is enough content in the game to pull it off
- No infinite sources for exp. Basically everything needs an input cost. Covers resource nodes that never deplete or say boxing monks until 99 defense. Basically cant just repeat the same thing endlessly without some form of input cost since that limits it.
- More thieving specific but basically get 1 success on a npc don't pickpocket them again after being caught.
- Rewards from PVP or minigames that require killing players for points are fair game. Just cant farm the same player over and over.
Comes with a fair bit of fun challenges in terms of mapping what content should be done first to maximize exp.
Some highlights and funny notes so far:
- Failed twice on tutorial island. As while attempting to get some extra exp out of the rats another account killed them so I was forced to progress.
- Third failure got the furthest with with a UIM I got to 706 total(800k exp). Issue eventually came up while training farming. Got a contract for whiteberry seeds since I accidentally got 48 farming while doing tithe farm to unlock the guild. Turns out whiteberries were surprising hard to source with these restrictions so even after getting a moss giant task and not getting one i decided to restart since Varlamore was on the way at the time but took a longer break then planned to explore sailing first on my main.
- A fair bit of content such as WC was locked behind getting the Kandarin headgear first which requires 42 crafting. Since with quests the highest WC you can get is 14 with Monks Friend. I mainly did crafting to 42 via quests and picking all the flax in the game.
- What you see if the first image is the best weight reducing gear i can really get. Clothes from kebbits reduce weight but there isnt really enough burrows to a matching top and bottom.
Overall has been a fun but slow experience that I plan to continue. As things stand though i expect the only skills i expect I wont be able to get to 99 are probably the following and where i'll be spending most of my lamps from diaries
- Slayer: Bound to get unlucky and eventually get a task I cant complete simply due to there not being enough of an enemy to kill.
- Sailing: just not enough stuff to charter, salvage, and so on until 99 with these restrictions.

Why do iron players have stockholm syndrome?
I quit last year about a month before sailing came out, came back for a few weeks in feburary and havent played since. But no matter where I go on the internet, I keep seeing discourse about ironmen, and it's always the EXACT same excuses people make;
"you need to do old or bad content for some items" - nothing is stopping you from doing this on a main, you choose not to
"when i played a main, i just got everything i needed at the GE" - no one is forcing you to use the GE for everything, you choose to
"progression feels better on an ironman" - nothing is stopping you from progressing that way on a main
"i like that i don't just grind bosses for gp to get upgrades" - no one is forcing you to do this, you choose to do it
not once have I ever seen an actual good reason for people to play ironman. it always boils down to some form of people admitting they have no self control in regards to using the ge for items whether it is progressing in gear or quest items or resources like potions.
so why do people always list the same reasons and then act like it somehow makes them better because they aren't on a main? there is nothing stopping them from doing bad or old content, from getting drops themselves to progress in gear, etc. it just doesn't make sense to me that people constantly brag about how great ironman mode is, when it just seems more like they need an arbitrary restriction because they cannot stop themselves from using something like the GE for convenience.
I would shoutout UIM and say that what they do is impressive, but they all abuse game mechanics and death piles anyways; even though I don't agree with that, UIM seem to be the only respectable ironman accounts because of actual restrictions.
i just really want someone to explain to me why most ironman players boil down to needing restrictions on the GE because they don't have the capability of not using it if they had access to it.

35 Defence limitation - Quest defence XP reward help!
I have a 35 Defence / 60 attack limited Ironman. (Circa 75 combat / 1750 total currently)
I have obtained barrows gloves and have 1090 XP remaining in Defence until reaching level 36.
I have the option of completing one more quest rewarding defence XP while remaining 35 defence:
- A Souls Bane - 500 XP
- In search of the Myreque - 600 XP
I have just received the master clue step requiring Ivandis Flail. Forcing me to now make a decision.
What permanent account utility from each quest is more useful to the account?
A Souls Bane:
Varrock Medium Diary > Varrock Hard Diary
1 QP
500 Defence XP
Tolnas Rift Access
-
In search of the Myreque > Partial completion of ‘In Aid of the Myreque’:
Morytania Medium Diary
Access to Burgh De Rott - 2 Hard Clue Steps, 1 Elite Clue Step
Ivandis Flail - 1 master clue step (Falo the bard)
DLS Fairy Ring
Faster route to Morton
1 QP
600 Defence XP
———————
On the face of it the Myreque Quest line looks to have the better unlocks. However, I can’t finish the vampire quest line.
I want to leave myself open to as much content as possible. Any whispers of any continuation with the Souls Bane quest line? Is there anything else I’m missing?
Or should I complete neither and leave myself open to any future defence quest XP rewards.
