Masochism: Difference between revisions

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a community created [[Game Mode]], where a player's character must follow a set of strict game rules.  These game rules are designed to make the game more challenging, and to make players think heavily about preparation and planning.  In addition there are strong bank management aspects involved that can very easily punish mistakes.

* This game mode is played in {{Icon|Adventure}}

* No xp or items are to be gained from the tutorial, you must skip it

* Additionally, you cannot use any of the {{Icon|Rags to Riches I|type=spell|Rags to Riches}} spells  

* No killing of {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}}, and no {{ItemIcon|Lemon|Lemons}}; once you have grown {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} via {{Skill|Farming}}, you may then kill Plants, and collect Lemons

* You may not eat uncooked food ({{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish|Magic Fish}} do not count as cooked)

* You may not downgrade perfect cooks to their non-perfect variant

* No fleeing from combat, you may only leave combat whilst the enemy is respawning

* You may not leave a dungeon once you have started it, either you complete it, or you die

* You may not use the "destroy loot" button

* You may not die (see additional comments)  

* Once you get to God Dungeons and acquire {{ItemIcon|Bank Slot Token|Bank Slot Tokens}}, you must also use these in multiples of 10

* You may not re-roll easy {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks; if you get a {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}} task, you must re-roll it for another easy task

* When on a Slayer task of any tier above easy, you cannot go back to easy until you've defeated at least one of your currently assigned target (after getting any required gear or levels)

* If you run out of {{Icon|Slayer Coins}}, and have to roll an easy task, you cannot do so without defeating at least one of your currently assigned target (again, after getting any required gear or levels)

* You may not skip Township casual tasks

* You must complete the side quests listed further down this page

* The below skill unlock order must be used

Additional rule regarding post-99 content: Only once you have purchased your first {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape|Max Cape}} may you access post-99 content.  You must continue to follow the above rules, however, there are no additional rules as by this point you are sufficiently progressed rendering them meaningless.

<ol start="10">

<li> 25m: {{Skill|Slayer}} (moved earlier due to the Astrology nerf)</li>

<li> 50m: {{Skill|Firemaking}}</li>

Complete the {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}

Complete {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}

<li> 200m: {{Skill|Township}}</li>

<li> 500m: {{Skill|Prayer}}</li>

<li> 500m: {{Skill|Agility}}</li>

<li> 500m: {{Skill|Fishing}}</li>

<li> 500m: {{Skill|Mining}}</li>

<li> 500m: {{Skill|Farming}}</li>

</ol>

Now, what you need is to simultaneously train your stats, better your gear, and increase your bank space so that you can safely combat the {{MonsterIcon|Sweaty Monster}}.  This monster will be your food source for a long time, and can drop 18 different items, so it is likely you will need to buy 20 bank slots, get used to killing stuff for tiny GP drops.

Masochism mode was first developed by Gnome (previously Gnome#9828), initially as a way to hugely extend the time spent in the early and mid game, and as a panacea to the way Thieving is unlocked so early in Adventure mode. Since then, it has evolved only slightly, with modifications to the above rules and skill order, to better facilitate a community-driven game mode. Changes to the game mode are frequently discussed in the Adventure Mode Chat on the Discord server, and many changes have come through via community decision.
