Skilling as an ironman
Skilling as an ironman
Looking on the wiki, it feels like some skilling guides don't take into account the opportunity cost of grinding other skills or grinding for gp. Sure, I can buy logs for fletching and get 100k xp/hr, but that doesn't take into account the 100k gp/hr required to do that. It's not really 100k xp/hr anymore. There's also fletching broad arrows, which the wiki says "are not very useful for anything" and are also expensive. It feels silly to make a ton of resources that are just going to be thrown away, when instead arrows can be made to level ranged.
The most efficient skilling methods also seem circular. If I want to grind x I should level y, but I need z to be efficient. And to get z I need to grind x. There's also what feels like a lack of skilling options listed. Sometimes I want to do "dead content" for the fun of it.
I'm definitely just a noob, but discovering new stuff to do is hard sometimes. I also am aware that I'm contradicting myself a bit by wanting a more efficient guide but also wanting dead content lol. But anyway, are there any resources available that might help me out?

Honestly a lot of the fun in ironman skilling is figuring out how you want to collect and use resources. Every account and progression plan is unique, but as a general rule the wiki is your friend. Check which iron friendly methods are available to you and plan from there.
For mining and smithing the ores I got from afking MLM fed nicely into Giants Foundry. I was poor and wanted fletching levels, so chopping yews and making bows for agility alchs worked out great. These were some of my paths, yours might differ completely.
