Seven modes, chosen on your first login: Main, Ironman, Hardcore Ironman and Ultimate Ironman at 5x XP, Lucky at 3x with a 5% drop-rate boost, and Unreal and Ultra Ironman at 1x with 8%.
Every Ashmarch account picks a game mode on its first login. The mode sets your XP rate, whether you can trade with other players, and — on Lucky, Unreal and Ultra Ironman — a global drop-rate boost. Not sure which to pick? Start on Main.
| Mode | XP rate | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Main | 5x XP | Standard gameplay with trading, banking and groups ("Regular" in game). |
| Ironman | 5x XP | Self-sufficient: no trading or outside help. |
| Hardcore Ironman | 5x XP | Ironman rules with one very dangerous life. |
| Lucky | 3x XP | Main rules with a 5% global drop-rate boost. |
| Unreal | 1x XP | Main rules with an 8% global drop-rate boost. |
| Ultimate Ironman | 5x XP | Ironman rules, and you cannot use the bank. |
| Ultra Ironman | 1x XP | Ironman rules with an 8% drop-rate boost. |
Main — shown as "Regular" in game — is the standard experience: trading, banking and groups, at 5x XP.
Ironman accounts are self-sufficient: no trading with other players, no picking up their drops, and no outside help.
Hardcore Ironman plays by Ironman rules with one very dangerous life: a single death permanently demotes the account to a regular Ironman. Ultimate Ironman goes further and cannot use the bank at all. Ultra Ironman keeps Ironman rules but runs at 1x XP in exchange for an 8% drop-rate boost.
Both keep Main's rules and trade XP for drops. Lucky runs at 3x XP with a 5% global drop-rate boost; Unreal runs at 1x XP with 8%.
Every account type has its own rankings. Filter the hiscores by Normal, Lucky, Ironman, Hardcore, Ultimate, Ultra or Unreal to see how you compare within your mode.
