Hardcore mode is a Game Mode 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 do not passively regenerate
- The Bank is limited to a maximum of 108 slots - 12 slots are available initially and a further 96 can be purchased from the Shop. Players can gain additional slots to exceed this limit, either permanently through the use of
Bank Slot Tokens, or temporarily while the Pillar of Generosity 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
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
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.
