Remove Ironman status

You can also visit the Group Ironman removal page should you have a Group Ironman account.

Ironman Mode is an account type in both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape that encourages you to be entirely self-sufficient. If the challenge is too much you can change your account status. 

RuneScape

To remove your Ironman status in RuneScape:

1. Speak to Mr Ex in Edgeville
2. Purchase the Book of Diplomacy
3. Read the book to start the Ironman removal process
4. You'll enter a 7 day grace period that cannot be bypassed
   • If you have second thoughts, you can speak to Mr Ex again 

If you previously asked Mr Ex to never sell you the Book of Diplomacy, we cannot undo this action and the account will remain an Ironman indefinitely. You'll need to create a new account if you wish to play as a non-Ironman account.

Old School RuneScape

To remove your Ironman status in Old School RuneScape:

1. Speak to Adam, the Iron Man tutor outside of Lumbridge Castle
2. Choose to remove or downgrade your Ironman account
   • Ensure you read all the information provided by Adam, as there might be some irreversible changes to your account depending on which mode you select 
3. You'll enter a 7 day grace period that cannot be bypassed
   • If you have second thoughts, you can speak to Adam again

If your Ironman status is set to ‘Limited’ or 'Permanent', unfortunately, we're unable to undo this action and your account will remain an Ironman indefinitely. Accounts with a 'Limited' status will have the option to downgrade to an Unranked Group Ironman account instead.

Since the Ironman update in September 2022, we no longer offer the removal of a 'Permanent' or 'Limited' status.

You'll need to create a new account if you wish to play as a non-Ironman account.
