Added some link in the "starting out" section to put more emphasis on the slayer shop as the main food source. Especially considering the frequent references to potatoes in the rest of the article.

Starting out, it's quite possible you will die many times. Either because of bad luck, or because you forgot to pay attention to the game.

The main goal of a hardcore is not dying. The only real way to get more food than you lose when you are limited to only combat is attacking {{MonsterIcon|Plant}}. They dont fight back much and drop a {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} every time you kill it.
The main goal of a hardcore is not dying. The only real way to get more food than you lose at the very beginning when you are limited to only combat, is attacking {{MonsterIcon|Plant}}. They dont fight back much and drop {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} every time you kill it.  
The main way you are gonna get food will come from the shop.
In the shop you can buy a Basic Resupply.
To buy that you need slayer points, which you can get by killing mobs on your slayertask. You can just generate a new Easy task for free until you get plants. Therefore getting both potatoes and slayer points.
1 Basic Resupply is equivalent to 2200 potatoes, and takes much less time to get. Along with some other stuff.
The Basic Resupply is gonna be your main food source.  


For the first few levels, personally, I recommend using Block, to level up {{Skill|Defence}}. Leveling defence up improves your natural evasion ratings, effectively reducing all enemies' hit chance. I don't enjoy spam-clicking potatoes 300 times a minute. After reaching defence level 15 or so, I will start leveling my {{Skill|Attack}} stat, for a higher chance to hit enemies.
However, the main way you are gonna get food will come from the [[Shop]].
In the shop you can buy {{ItemIcon|Basic Resupply}}.
To buy that you need [[File:Slayer_Coins.svg|25px|middle]] [[Slayer Coins]], which you can get by killing mobs on your Slayer Task. Luckily, Plants are part of the Easy tier. This means that it's free to get a new task. Therefore, you can re-roll the slayer task until you get assigned plants. 1 Basic Resupply is equivalent to 2200 potatoes, and takes much less time to get. You will also get bones for prayer, ammunition and some runes.

Once I get all melee {{Icon|Combat}} levels up to level 10, at least, I will try to get my first gear.
