How should i build my HCIM

I wouldnt be a hcim skiller, i would go main all the way!

 

Ironmen are fun.

- Wintertodt
- Fish
- Thief
- Agility

In my opinion once you get membership you should do all of those really high. Also, I'd recommend following that 'optimal' quest guide and complete the quests in there as you can. Even though it's normal account guide, it's kind of the same for Ironman and doing quests in those orders can benefit you greatly!

 

im also doing hcim im early stages but im already 42hp so wintertodt 99 fm is probably off the list .. done 76 fishing so far & getting mining /smithing up before i smash out some quests for some tasty early game xp.

 

@Sebast Great ideas.

Although I would say start with Todt but it means that it'll end up giving you less herbs.
I know the starting GP is always good and the Construction experience you get.

All in all I would start how @Sebast has said and work towards 99 Firemaking and then move onto either Agility or even doing Barb Fishing until 99.

If you do barb fishing till 99 you'll end up being 74 Strength and 74 Agility.

I'd work towards 70 Agility and get graceful set, then do the Firemaking grind at Todt and then maybe focus on Fishing grind/thieving

 

play with what you find fun. for me starting ironman opened up so many places id never been before and some that id never even heard of. Unlike most comments here i dont really like getting 99 fm first as the rewards are so much better if you wait a bit. go to 80 or so to get some starter cash and some supplies, tome if possible and finish it later. get graceful as it makes everything way faster, start the questing grind to get barrows gloves and train up your stats on the way, and dont take you HC status too seriously, nobody really care about this anymore as 90% of people die to dc. best of luck
