HCCO stands for {{Icon|Hardcore}} {{Icon|Combat}} Only. This implies that you cannot use any non-Combat skills at any time, and must play on {{Icon|Hardcore}}. There is a secondary challenge, 12b, which means you may not buy any [[Bank]] slots, and are limited to the 12 provided to you by default. This is a popular additional challenge and most of the guide is directly applicable to 12b players (albeit with a lot more bank management). | HCCO stands for {{Icon|Hardcore}} {{Icon|Combat}} Only.

To create a HCCO account, one can create a typical hardcore account and abstain from all non-combat skills. Alternatively, through the official mod manager one can use the [https://mod.io/g/melvoridle/m/hcco Combat Only Account Mod] to create an account with non-combat skills completely disabled and hidden. This mod offers the option for a mediumcore version, which is identical but doesn't have permadeath (you still lose one random item on death). There are currently no tangible differences between either of these options for playing HCCO mode, and one can convert between gamemodes through the use of mods. | To create a HCCO account, one can create a typical hardcore account and abstain from all non-combat skills.

This is different to a Standard account (aka Softcore), which has a different combat triangle that is less punishing and has health regen. Most of this guide will assume HC and therefore will sometimes be overly conservative for a softcore account. | ||
There are currently no tangible differences between either of these options for playing HCCO mode, and one can convert between gamemodes through the use of mods. It is recommended to use the mod for MCCO or HCCO mode for the most immersive experience, as the community will add unique content specifically designed for CO in future. | |||
