Hardcore Mode

Hardcore mode is a Game Mode released on the 23rd of July 2020 that can be chosen when creating a new character. There is no way to change a character from one game mode to another after creation. Hardcore characters are deleted upon Death and also have several penalties that apply while playing:

    Hitpoints

  • The Bank is limited to a maximum of 108 slots - 20 slots are available initially and a further 88 can be purchased from the Shop. If the

    is active.
  • The Combat Triangle penalties for using the combat style that is weak against the current enemy are increased.

Avoiding Death

Nobody likes to lose a character to a simple mistake. This section lists a number of things to look out for in order to not die.

  • Use Combat Simulator to see if you are safe in a fight. This is especially useful in the late game, where there are more factors at play.
  • Always check the amount of vital resources before going away: Food, food auto-swap (provided by
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking Upgrade 2
    ), Damage Reduction Prayers, Potions, Summons.
  • Disable

    Auto Slayer
    if you don't intend to use it. It is especially important to disable this for Slayer tasks of Master or higher tiers.
  • The

    Cyclops
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Yak
    Summoning synergy provides +3% Damage Reduction when fighting your Slayer task. With Auto Slayer disabled you may be at risk of dying once your task is completed due to losing this bonus.
