[ultimatez]

Hi everyone, Thought id make a quick guide on you're first steps as a ironman on velheim on how to get into the mid game as easy as possible...

First off, familiarize yourself with our commands, simply type in game ;;COMMANDS to learn more.

Currently you can vote on 5 sites every 12 hours and a 6th every 24hrs... For every site that you vote on, will reward you;     

   1x Vote Point, 1x Velheim Coin, 1x Vote book.

Spoiler

what should you spend your vote points on?  

You can find the vote shop at 2 locations, through the ';;vote' menu and by talking to the 'Wise Old Man' at home.

Rune Pouch costs '25x Vote Points' and lets you store 4 sets of runes inside.

Asylum Surgeon's Ring Costs '40x vote points'. This ring will help you with combat special attacks, by saving some... or all of your special attack, as well as offering some pretty nice combat stats. To get the surgeon ring you must buy the doctors version beforehand.

Salve Amulet (e) Costs '30x vote points'. This amulet will make you a lot stronger when fighting the undead in all combat styles, you must first buy the normal salve amulet before you can upgrade to the enchanted version.

Bonds Cost '28 Vote points'. Bonds are the servers version of $ and are used for many reasons like in-game perks, SOF spins, Loyalty points, and Velheim coins.

Ancient effigy Costs '5x Vote Points' These need to be opened 4 times each requiring you to have the skill levels starting at 91, progressing to 93 -> 95 -> 97 each time you unlock it, once unlocked you receive a huge exp lamp for the skill of your choice.

Well Of GoodWill

The well of goodwill requires a small donation of 150k coins to gain buffs for the day, this includes 1% drop rate and double Exp in skills. On the weekend the well is active 24hours a day, but during Monday-Thursay the well requires 100million coins (from the community not just yourself 10 people can put in 10mill each) per 2 hours.

Spoiler

Daily Distractions (D&d's)

Throughout the day there will be Random daily distractions that will spawn, you can see what there is and when they will spawn inside your quest journal (press the Red Star!) you can also see them by the yellow text popping up in your chat box once they spawn.

 

Spoiler

   

Completing these will award you with so many rewards, such as unique currencies (Like stardust) Huge bulks of Exp or customized buffs depending on the activity you have just participated in.

Giant Oyster 

The giant oyster is a task that you can do once per day, and will reset every day! 

Spoiler

Right click the wizard nearby and 'Dive'. you cannot dive if you have weapons worn. start by fishing for kelp. then click the farm patch for seaweed and feed them to the oyster.....

Now you are done, come back one the game resets at 00.00.00 server time. you can then claim your loot and repeat.

The rewards that you can get is anything in game that you can get from clues, Coins / Fortunate items / seeds / potions / Bonus exp stars items to disassemble ... Even 3rd age and dyes!

Spoiler

Travelling Merchant

The Merchant will appear once every 4 hours, he will dock at the deep sea fishing area, to gain access to this you must have 68 fishing to access the fishing guild, in the middle of the guild is a character named 'Goomy', he will take you to the deep sea fishing area.... Simply run over to the merchants shop and buy his items. 

(This shop rotates every time he reappears it will not be the same again until the game resets so wait until its something you want ask in the friends chat "help" for a merch call out to see if you want it or not)

Spoiler

 

Daily Challenges

Every day you will be given 5 tasks to do to do with your skills, this is a must to do every single day the exp you get is great, alongside the exp you get SOF spins, and raffle tickets. you can find the daily challenges inside the quest journal.

Spoiler

VELHEIM PASS

The velheim pass resets every month and has a lot of tasks to do every day / week to progress through the pass, work your way through as much as you can the more you do and higher you get the better the rewards become.

Spoiler

Squeal of fortune

The squeal of fortune interface can be found using the squeal of fortune/Solomon-store tab at the bottom left of your inventory.

This is a roulette type loot system, where the rewards are insane, and is too much to list. There are so many ways to obtain spins, such as; Daily log in claiming free spins, Daily Challenges, Using Bonds/Vote books, Some daily distractions will also reward spins upon completion like familiarization and evil tree. Even the velheim pass can award you spins!

Spoiler

When you do a spin you will gain 'Oddments' depends on the tier of loot you roll and if you can choose to convert the reward into oddments.

Oddment store

Oddment store can be found by right-clicking your Money pouch which is located below the minimap and selecting 'Currency pouch' and selecting the oddment icon. 

Spoiler

The top 5 bought items are; Pulse/Cinder cores, Silverhawk feathers, Portable skilling pack, portable skilling box (mainly to help with runecrafting) and Bonus Exp stars/lamps.

 

Protection Prayers (level 43)

 

To get 43 Prayer you can teleport to the 'Chaos Altar' which can be found in the teleport menu (Ctrl+T -> Ctrl+S -> type Chaos Altar) yes it is wilderness but you are level 3 and shouldn't be attacked once here area loot bones with the command (ctrl+spacebar) Simply use the looting interface to pick up bones and use them on bones near by. 

 

Obtaining your Basic beginner setup

 

First steps towards your Pvm setups

On velheim, irons have access to every shop that you can use around the game, head over to Port Sarim with our loadstone network located above the minimap (H) symbol and on the docks near the sailors that take you to Port Sarim is a npc called 'Gudric' talk to him and select the option "do you have anything for me?"

Spoiler

 

Next head south to the Charter Ship and head to Port Tyras!

Once you are here Pray melee! because the Tyras warriors will attack you at a low level. Follow the path east into the camp and buy halberds from the Quartermaster (these have an 'aoe' effect). 

Now head to 'Lumbridge / Yaks' in the teleport menu and fight cows / goblins / yaks to get base 40 stats, this will be needed for the next step of the plan which will lead to alot of nice unlocks.

 Melee

Head to the teleport "dragonkin laboratory" Click the big circle platform on the floor and create an instance. inside here you will receive a lot of useful items...

Once inside there is a chest which has 2 effects....

1) Turn the chest autoloot on to not have to loot items...

2) Keep it off for a 20% chance to double your loot roll.... 

 

(WARNING: Once you have started the run, mobs will always be aggressive to you, even if you teleport out.... pray melee or get 1hit when you reenter. rip to the hc who died so i updated this bit)

Once you have done this pray melee and have the slimes attack you but do not attack them yet! These are special they will perform a "bloop!" which will multiply them. Simply let them keep doing this until there are 72 entities you can tell when it is capped by hovering your mouse over the stack and in the top left corner of the client will say 72 options. when they stop this mechanic kill them with your halberd. once they are dead type (Ctrl+B) and rinse and repeat! make sure to wipe your instance before restarting.

Here at dragonkin laboratory you will get, raw food, prayer potions, gems, relics+ a lot more loot to help progress you as well as a lot of combat / Dungeoneering XP.

Magic

First thing you will want to do is type ";;wiki rune shops"  in your in game chat box to see the available shops with runes and go buy them.

When you have been to the shops head to cows in Lumbridge and get your self 25 magic and start teleporting all over the game with your spell book.

After you hit 40 magic head to 'Zaff's magic shop' in Varrock and buy the best wand and offhand you can., and then teleport to "chaos dwarves" they are aggressive so simply pray range and afk! keep an eye on the loot 'Muddy keys' are valuable net value = 1m/1.5m each. simply sit in the middle of room, and kill them and use area looting to loot the keys.

Ranged.

Head to Lowe in Varrock and buy the basic bows and ammo then head to cows and get 40 ranged.

Then head back to chaos dwarves and start afking again.

(TRAIN YOUR STATS UP TO ATLEAST 80! SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UPGRADE TO CHAOTIC WEAPONRY LATER ON)

Starting Herblore

At 10 Dungeoneering you will have access to a ranaar herb spawn underneath 'Edgeville Dungeon' (the wilderness area) head to where thugs are just before chaos druids and you will find a Dungeoneering entry, head inside and on the floor are 3 herbs you can start to area loot.

 

 

I recommend just cleaning and dropping the marrentil herbs and harralander herbs and keeping the ranarr herbs. collect an inventory and head to the hobgoblin peninsula near the crafting guild (fastest teleport would be (Ctrl+t ->Ctrl+s -> Rimmington) head north west towards the snapegrass spawn!

 

Invention

To unlock invention you need 80 crafting 80 smithing 80 divination.

i actually suggest you do not level up invention at all in the beginning as receiving junk becomes a lot rarer as you research more things on the work bench, Junk will be hard to get above level 70, you will want to gather at least 30k before progressing as they are used for some of the best rings and amulets for both skilling and pvming.

check out ;;topic 3603 for a disassemble handbook!

Divination

The best way to start divination is ignoring it and competing in divination caches which appear every hour, when one spawns type ;;gct -> right click the divination hole and "enter cache".... once inside there are 2 jobs to do;

- Collect vials along the edges of the arena and throw then into the middle. (dodge the cres npcs)

- Transforming into a cresbot and attacking the npcs (this is better for points) 

you can find a minigame interface inside the quest journal to help assist you with powerups, like 2x points / become immune / subdue all cres.

once you reach 100 points you can now leave and claim your rewards. (alot of exp)

 

Dungeoneering

head to daemonheim and speak to the tutorial tutor to begin Dungeoneering. once you are given a ring form a party and set it to Floor 1 Complex 1, until you hit floor 32 id highly recommend doing small Complex 1 runs the sooner you hit the mid stage of Dungeoneering the better it will become.

Spoiler

First buys?

Bonecrusher / Herbicide / Charming imp /  All of the scrolls for skilling / Demonhorn necklaces / Chaotic splint (for t80 defender) / Amulets for all combats.

Chaotics (dont buy the swords as elder rune are better and cheaper)

 

 

 

 

[Maybe]

Looking forward to this! This is beautiful!

Ty for adding the banking sections!

[ultimatez]

# still a draft ( you putting alot of faith in me to explain banks btw maybe)

I'd put a spot for normals for bank organizing/efficiency.

PVM Tab to equip/preset quickly.

This is my most used/favorite bank tab.

It covers all potions you'll need from super sets and prayers up to replenishes, and crating their potion flask, crystal flask.

The recipes are laid out vertically to make setting up presets and making everything quick and easy. It takes time to setup, but its overall worth it.

Along with my summoning materials. and some nest placeholders.

 

Two more tabs I love to have are a Disassembly tab and a collection tab.

 

Step 1. Tab everything out(pvm equips, potions herbs summoning, skilling supplies, outfits, etc)

Step 2. Organize main tabs and see what else we need a tab for

Step 3. Repeat step 1 and 2 with the remaining items.

Step 4. Have a dump tab

Well done man, can't wait for the guide to be fininshed!

That might make me want to make a UIM after all

[Ahoy]

Never knew about Gudrik, good find.
