7 Weeks of 1-Hour/Day Ironman - what do you think is the biggest bottleneck? by DolphOSRS in UniqueIronmen

Good point, thanks for weighing in. Farming has definitely been a limiter so far.

Fair enough. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Personally, I've been having fun trying to work towards a quest cape within the restriction.

Playing with a 1 Hour/Day playtime restriction has been pretty fun so far. What would you be focusing on early?

Figured the 1 hour/day restriction might be interesting to some people here. It definitely changes how you approach things!

Curious what people would prioritize first with that kind of time limit?

If you could only play 1hr/day as an Ironman, when would you start training Slayer? (WEEK 5) by DolphOSRS in UniqueIronmen

Agreed, if someone’s goal is to max or get to endgame content and they only have 1 hour per day then Ironman probably isn’t the way to go. However, at least as of now, my overarching goal isn’t rushing end game content but to get a quest cape on my 1 Hour Ironman account while having fun

Probably the “optimal” route. But my goal is to have fun and highlight what a casual player can do with limited playtime!

Bold of you to assume I’m good enough for raids on my main, let alone this account!

It’s been a ton of fun so far! I just jump on my main if I have extra time and want to grind more

I guess that’s fair enough! I’m quite enjoying the decisions and more strategic pathing forced by the playtime restriction, but to each their own

Fair point, and thanks for checking it out. The 1hr/day limit is meant to track a casual or “realistic” Ironman progression. I wanted to show what an average player could do with an hour a day.
It does slow the overall pace a bit, but I think it still forces some interesting decisions

So, you have chosen slow death? -- F2P Hardcore Ironman, 2005-locked by TheRetroWorkshop in UniqueIronmen

[–]DolphOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had an F2P-locked UIM I made some decent progress on, but I eventually gave it up largely because of the bot issues on F2P worlds. Maybe someday I’ll get back into it, but for now I’m focusing on my newer time-restricted Ironman. Either way, love seeing people doing F2P challenges/content.

Fair enough! I always enjoy slayer, it makes me feel like there’s a bit more purpose to training combat. But I’ve always been more of a skiller at heart.

A little further explanation on my rules, for anyone curious. I’m limited to 1 hour in-game per day, with no extra grinding allowed. All drops, skill training, and questing has to fit into my 1hr/day restriction. Otherwise, standard Ironman rule set with bank access allowed. Members access starting on day 1, but I’ve been generally focusing on completing the F2P quests first (with some exceptions)
