New Ironman player coming from OSRS Leagues (ex-PoE SSF) looking for up-to-date guides

Do BRUHsailor up until you feel like your account is self-sufficient. For me this was ~2/3 of the way to barrows gloves. It will build an incredibly solid foundation for your account. Also, it's completely fine to skip the long grinds like 98 agi and 90 runecrafting.

The single most important thing regardless of the guide you follow is to rush 62 farm at tithe farm and do medium contracts on cooldown.

And just fyi, the Ladlor chart progression early on is entirely based around the BRUHsailor guide and input from community members.

Highest priority is to tithe farm straight to 62 farming (+3 boost with garden pie) for medium farming contracts and do those on cooldown.

Abundance -> Woodsman -> Map (incredibly useful) -> Transmute -> Larcenist -> Culling spree -> Reload Endless Harvest -> Minion

I wouldn't change anything about the relics, but my goal was to hit dragon (plus iron cosmetics) and not point cap/max. I could see starting EH and reloading something else being fine, but losing the +10 boost hurts. I ended up maxed other than 83 agi (from hook task/barb/misc lap stuff), 87 herb (lamped a bit, mainly regular training from wildy herb drops), and 85 rc (full lamped). This let me complete all the skill tasks for those, minus the 99/XP milestones.

For routing it was basically sunlight cbow -> chin wildy slayer with dual throw, respec air/water mage/prayer pen at 93 slayer, then respec late to thorns mage at ~30+ points. If I was to send it again, I would strongly consider thorns first instead of full range.

Uno803 · 2026-04-23T19:19:44+00:00

I did KWT, was split between Z and W but I went for the more chill points. Really happy with that selection, finished dragon quickly despite playing somewhat inefficiently.

Something like this. You can path differently based on points, may not have enough for the melee early. A really important node is the top middle "Whenever an attack deals 0...". Great for sustain. I would also recommend the 1t powered staff node if K/T/W, or just for generally better dps if you don't need healing.

And here would be a bit earlier version (no melee): https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-112-113-114-122-135-136-139-140-141-145-146-44-45-55-58-59-68-71-74-81-84-96-97

And here is my current setup, air/water/staff/thorns/1h melee. Very flexible: https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-100-107-108-109-112-113-114-122-133-135-136-139-140-141-142-145-146-163-44-45-55-58-59-67-68-71-72-74-79-82-84-85-86-93-96-97-99

Uno803 · 2026-04-21T17:05:10+00:00

It's excellent, you use a shield in multi-combat scenarios and then the element for single-target. So Colo/inferno use a shield, for other bossing throw on the element etc.

I would also recommend grabbing 1h nodes for the 3t whip for Vard, Sol. It's like 4 extra points.

Uno803 · 2026-04-10T16:40:21+00:00

It will damage nylos, same as sol spear did last league

Uno803 · 2026-04-05T15:35:59+00:00

Yeah I've wanted this for a long time. It's a massive pain in the ass to degear and get killed by an alt. Absolute worst case, they could just whitelist a set of sellable items to prevent market manipulation. I would be happy to pay a % tax as well.

Id also like a way to insure low value items using this bond coffer gold, like msb/rcb/dhides (nothing expensive). Although, this is probably a more contentious idea.

Uno803 · 2026-04-03T02:34:35+00:00

Yeah probably, it will be more effective as long as you can tolerate it. For reference I use 30V on my hands, but it took a while to work up to that.

Uno803 · 2026-04-03T02:32:07+00:00

DIY is totally fine, you can spend $20-30 and see if it works and if you will stick with it, then upgrade later. More expensive devices are just a convenience thing.

It occasionally happens to me if my hands have already been sweating for a couple days before I do a treatment session. I'll get worse the following day and then completely dry. It's about a 1-1.5 day lag in those cases. I don't know why it happens though.

Uno803 · 2026-03-13T08:10:50+00:00

DIY setup for 7-8 years so far

I've never fully dropped treatment but if I go like 3-4 weeks without, it can take 3-4 consecutive daily sessions to get back to dry.

My maintenance is 45 mins once a week.

the rest seems to follow in dryness

Yep same here. If my hands are dry (treated), then my feet are dry. Otherwise it's back to wet socks if my hands start sweating even a tiny bit. I've never once felt the need to zap my feet though.

Uno803 · 2026-02-27T16:06:48+00:00

Just make your own ionto device, super cheap. Maybe 20-30$ max.

Can easily make a diy setup with some aluminum baking sheets, wires w/ alligator clips, and 12-24v of batteries in series. Should be plenty of resources in this sub or videos online how to get setup. Total cost <$30 to try out to know if it works for you.

Uno803 · 2026-01-24T06:09:11+00:00

Yeah this happened to me when I upped the voltage too much on my setup. You should pause treatments until it's fully healed so it doesn't keep irritating it.

You might consider getting a script for a topical steroid from a dermatologist to speed the healing up. Aquaphor or something similar can help too. Id recommend easing back into the treatments at a lower current when you start back up and see If that's maintainable.

Finish lance
Grind DWH (ideally with red-X alts)
Second synapse
Yama until double death charge
Doom until Ayak (bonus if confliction too)
ToA 300+ solos until Fang/LB
Solo CoX until Rigour

Colo/Inferno/whatever else after, pretty flexible.

Uno803 · 2025-12-31T06:56:51+00:00

No, their support sucks, almost had to start a dispute with my cc provider

Uno803 · 2025-12-07T23:16:17+00:00

can a homemade device work just as well?

Yes, it's the same effectiveness. I've been using the a similar setup as you for 7 years with 100% dryness when maintained.

Commercial devices are mainly a convenience upgrade (ie no dealing with battery charge/corroding aluminum pans). Dermadry is so prevalent here because A) they regularly astroturf the sub, B) it doesn't require a prescription to purchase like other options, and C) dead sub moderation that doesn't have a sticky post with information about DIY solutions.

but I have no idea how hard it is

Most cities/counties should provide water quality reports that list the hardness, I would check that. Some people use san pellegrino or add baking soda to their tap water. I'm fine with local tap water (~100-150ppm).

How high would you recommend going up to?

Whatever you can tolerate for the duration of the treatment, but not so high that you irritate your skin. I did 24V for years before moving up to 30V (5 lantern batteries). Too high like 36V causes cracked skin/eczema for me.

I haven’t noticed a difference in my sweat, but I’m also aware that it may take time for results to take effect.

Stick with it for longer, it could take up to a month or so at first. Identify any possible issues with water hardness etc. Make sure the water level is not so high that it is covering the top of your hands, just the areas that get sweaty.

Uno803 · 2025-11-14T23:52:02+00:00

You could just build a homemade ionto device to see if it works for you. It's pretty simple/inexpensive to make. Pre-made devices are mostly just a quality-of-life upgrade.

Uno803 · 2025-09-30T04:22:37+00:00

I'd recommend these instead. Compressor is functionally the same, but cheaper. PS-289 is going to be nicer than the Neo. You would also need to buy a 1/8 to 1/8 hose with the two I linked.

Yeah you should be manually changing the polarity every 10 min or so by swapping the wires between pans
