Ultimate Ironman (UIM) accounts require unique money-making strategies due to no access to banks or the Grand Exchange. Every method must be:
- Inventory-friendly
- Sustainable long-term
- Ideally paired with skill training
🛠️ Early Game Methods
- Agility Pyramid (70+ Agility)
– Earn 200k/hour while training Run Energy. Pair with High Alchemy/Fletching. - H.A.M. Store Rooms
– Pickpocket guards for keys, loot jewelry, and alch excess items. Save sapphire necklaces for later use. - Guardians of the Rift
– Craft chaos/blood/law runes post-Temple of the Eye. Sell to Ali Morrisane for ~60k/hour. - Stealing Silk
– Steal from Ardougne stalls and resell after 20 mins (~25k/hour with early Thieving levels). - Willow Shortbow Fletching
– Slow but inventory-safe method. Cut willows, craft bows, and sell to shops for Woodcutting/Fletching XP. - Giants’ Foundry
– Buy bronze/iron gear from shops, smith swords for ~80k-90k/hour + Smithing XP. - LMS Rune Arrow Alching
– Use LMS points for rune arrows. Alch with self-made nature runes (~140k/hour + Magic XP).
⚡ Mid-Level Options
