While only 2 official Game Modes exist, the community has created a series of custom gamemodes to add further challenges or limitation than what the official gamemodes provides.
Official gamemodes
These modes are available on Character creation. A third official gamemode is in planning.
Standard
No Restrictions, normal gameplay
Hardcore (HC)
This gamemode is Permadeath. Your character is deleted upon death.
No passive Hitpoint Regeneration.
80 Bank slot limit from Shop. Bank Slot Tokens still work if limit reached.
Harsher Combat modifiers.
Custom Gamemodes
The official gamemodes can be combined with 1 or more of the following custom gamemodes.
Main
Main account normally trains everything to 99 and finishes the Completion Log in its entirety.
Skiller
Skiller accounts do not train anything Combat related.
Pure
Pure accounts typically only train one of the Combat options.
Such as:
Combat Only (CO)
A Combat Only account is not allowed to use any non-combat skills (including Alternative Magic).
Another variation of "Combat Only" is where you are allowed to use any items you obtain from Monsters for any non-combat related Skills.
12 Bank Slots (12B)
With this custom gamemode, you are only allowed to use the 12 Bank slots that you begin with.
Combination Examples
With all of the Custom Gamemodes available, a lot of players tend to combine a few of them.
For example:
- Hardcore + Combat Only (HCCO): This player would have all of the restrictions of a Hardcore account along with the restrictions of a Combat Only account.
- Combat Only Skiller (COS): This player is only able to train their non-combat related skills with items that they obtain from Monsters. Which means they aren't allowed to do any Gathering skills (Fishing, Mining, Woodcutting, etc).
- Hardcore + 12 Bank Slots (HC12B): This player would have all of the restrictions of a Hardcore account, but instead of having only 80 Bank slots to use, they are further restricted to only using 12 Bank slots.
Impossible Combinations
Unfortunately, when you create a new account, you currently don't start off with any items. This means that you cannot use the following Custom Gamemode Combinations:
- Magic Pure + Combat Only
- Ranged Pure + Combat Only
