Welcome to my guide for Elite Ironmen!

After maxing my EIM I thought, why not make a guide for everybody who plans on going for an EIM grind and is looking for a little guideline to take and to be honest, back when I started, I was a bit lost „what shall I start with, so much to do“ but by now I can tell you how I started and how I kind of succeeded in my own way.

This guide should also be applicate able for GIM as they only have a bit faster XP rate.

I will link to a lot of other guides in this thread, as there are so many good ones out there (thanks to all of you for your good work on providing us with good information here)

Please be aware, that this guide is being updated daily from now on, I'm taking any advice from formatting the guide to telling me ways you did it and I might add it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before starting off, you should get to know the restrictions of an EIM!

Next up make sure you set up 2 Factor Authentication so you can use Vote Books for Bonus XP and additional security on your Elite Ironman.

Before planning a big grind, be aware that the following information can boost your xp/h massively!
Credits to @Champ for the SOTD, Well of Goodwill and Vote Book information on all of his guides!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve always started by planning my investments, like what am I going to do with my points, what makes most sense?

Well as I started off with slayer, I need to to buy the perk to even craft Slayer helm, but with the Slayer rework this has changed.

Nevertheless, it should be the first thing you will grind with Slayer Points as it will be one of your most important tools while grinding up your Elite Iron Man.

I have listed the most important things below.

Why did I not mention the salve amulet?
As I’m telling the guide from my perspective, I didn’t feel like really needing it, but if you try to go for raids asap, you should change priorities in this case and get one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I said, i will add links to skill guides I used to max, below each post about the skill mentioned.
This Slayer guide is a absolute masterpiece by @Mack and very helpful for anybody, not just EIMs!

 

 

 

A prayer Guide can be found here - gain @Champ with a masterpiece - we'll see some more of these in here!

Really love the layout of this guide. Other than the % symbol not matching the font color of the text in the bonus experiences section and the minor typos, I appreciate the time you took into making this guide. Thanks!

[Sheep]

Nicely done, makes me tired even thinking of making a thread like this + the quality of it. Good job sir.

[UnCreative]

Great work on this guide. Love the effort put into it and the organizationj.

[Perkamentus]

Very nice and detailed guide, great work on putting in the effort to work this out! 

[Halloween]

Great guide man! One other thing regarding the Silver Sickle ( is that it's used for Clue Scrolls as well. Not sure if that might sway people towards selecting that first or not but still a useful bit of info!

[Moe]

Love the EIM guide, and it is definitely spot on with what you should be doing early on!

 

I just wanted to let you know that you can transfer vote books/boosters to EIM, it's just you can still only use it at their respective times.

 

 

[Lifesteal]

Thanks to all of you!

I'm taking care of your suggestions to add/correct to this post as soon as I got more freetime.

There's more to come - stay tuned!
