Custom Gamemodes

While only 2 official game modes exists, the community has created a series of custom game modes to add further challenges or limitation than what the official game modes provides.

Official Game Modes

These modes are available on Character creation. A third official game mode is in planning.

Standard

No Restrictions, normal gameplay

Hardcore (HC)

This gamemode is Permadeath. Your character is deleted upon death. No passive Hitpoint Regeneration. 80 Bank slot limit from Shop. Bank slot tokens still work if limit reached. Harsher Combat modifiers.

Custom Game Modes

The official game modes can be combined with 1 or more of the following custom game modes.

Main

Main account normally trains everything to 99 and finishes the Completion Log in its entirety.

Skiller

Skiller accounts do not train anything Combat related.

Pure

Pure accounts typically only train one of the Combat options. Such as:

• Attack Only
• Strength Only
• Defence Only
• Magic Only
• Ranged Only

Combat Only (CO)

A Combat Only account is not allowed to use any non-combat skills (including Alternative Magic).

Another variation of "Combat Only" is where you are allowed to use any items you obtain from Monsters for any non-combat related Skills.

12 Bank Slots (12B)

With this custom gamemode, you are only allowed to use the 12 Bank slots that you begin with.

Combination Examples

With all of the Custom Gamemodes available, a lot of players tend to combine a few of them. For example:

• Hardcore + Combat Only (HCCO): This player would have all of the restrictions of a Hardcore account along with the restrictions of a Combat Only account.
• Combat Only Skiller (COS): This player is only able to train their non-combat related skills with items that they obtain from Monsters. Which means they aren't allowed to do any Gathering skills (Fishing, Mining, Woodcutting, etc).
• Hardcore + 12 Bank Slots (HC12B): This player would have all of the restrictions of a Hardcore account, but instead of having only 80 Bank slots to use, they are further restricted to only using 12 Bank slots.

Impossible Combinations

Unfortunately, when you create a new account, you currently don't start off with any items. This means that you cannot use the following Custom Gamemode Combinations:

• Magic Pure + Combat Only
• Ranged Pure + Combat Only
