Hardcore Combat Only (HCCO) is a community created Game Mode, where a player's Character is only allowed to use combat skills in
mode. This means the player will only be allowed to level
,

, and Slayer.
The entire gameplay consists of fighting enemies in different areas, and trying to reach end-game bosses, without ever touching any of the non-combat skills, or ever dying.
There's also a Google Sheets with highscores and some number crunching made by the community of the various players who play this gamemode.

Differences
Since we're playing Hardcore, there are some important parts to keep in mind:

Potatoes from 
Plant
Salmon, 
Lobster, and 
Shark from 
Sweaty Monster, 
Wet Monster, and 
Moist Monster
Trout from 
Raging Horned Elite
Ancient Sword with its 25% chance for Life Leech (25% healing from damage dealt)
Warlock Amulet with its 20% healing from damage done from spells.
