RS3 Minigames Worth Doing as an Ironman

The minigames

1. Pest Control

   Combat
   35+ combat

   Defend the Void Knight while destroying the portals — a group combat minigame that pays out Void Knight commendations.

   Requirements

   Combat 35 (Novice lander); 70 Intermediate / 100 Veteran

   Ironman rewards

   • Void Knight equipment (helms, top, robes, gloves, deflector, seal) — a strong set-effect accuracy set, big early-Ironman power spike
   • Void Knight seal — teleport back to the outpost
   • Note: Ironmen cannot buy the commendation XP rewards or the seed/mineral/herb packs

2. Barbarian Assault

   Combat

   Location

   Barbarian Outpost

   Requirements

   None (team of 5; combat helps)

   Ironman rewards

   • Penance armour (hats, torso, skirt, gloves, boots) — tier 50, tier 65 with the armour patch
   • Penance trident and, after 5 Penance King kills in hard mode, the role insignias (pocket slot)

3. Soul Wars

   Combat

   Team PvP combat for Zeal — a steady source of combat and Slayer XP.

   Location

   Soul Wars portal in Edgeville (to Nomad’s camp)

   Requirements

   None (combat and Slayer levels help)

   Ironman rewards

   • Zeal → Combat or Slayer XP (Ironman Zeal spending on XP/charms is restricted; no random-loot gamble)
   • Summoning charms and Slayer pets from the Zeal shop
   • A chance at hybrid armour legs when you win a game

4. Fishing Trawler

   Skilling
   15 Fishing

   Keep the trawler afloat for a haul of raw fish (up to tiger sharks) plus some Fishing XP.

   Location

   Port Khazard

   Requirements

   15 Fishing (needed to catch any fish)

   Ironman rewards

   • Raw fish scaled to your Fishing level, up to raw tiger sharks at 95 Fishing (food + Cooking XP)
   • Fishing XP (40% of what the catch would give by normal fishing)
   • Junk is replaced by gems, oysters, seaweed and stone spirits once you have the Ardougne cloak 4

5. Dominion Tower

   Rematch quest bosses for combat XP books and the Dominion gloves — strong per-style gloves.

   Location

   Northern Kharidian Desert, west of Uzer (by the River Elid)

   Requirements

   At least 20 of the eligible boss quests completed (more quests = more bosses)

   Ironman rewards

   • Goliath (Melee) / Spellcaster (Magic) / Swift (Ranged) gloves — excellent Ironman gloves
   • XP books from every reward box (usable on combat skills at 75+)
   • Dominion medallions (teleport to the tower); Dominion weapons work only inside the tower

6. Pyramid Plunder

   Skilling
   21 ThievingIcthlarin's Little Helper

7. Tears of Guthix

   Skilling
   Tears of Guthix

   A weekly D&D that hands you XP straight into your lowest skill — a quiet but excellent Ironman catch-up.

   Location

   Tears of Guthix cavern (via the Lumbridge Swamp Caves)

   • Tokkul for the TzHaar shops

9. Guthixian Cache

   Skilling
   35 Divination

   A Divination training activity, not a daily. Since the March 2026 Dailyscape overhaul a rift opens into a cache once you have converted 800 memories there — no hourly timer, no time limit inside and no daily cap.

   Any energy rift at a wisp colony (except the pale wisp colony)

   Requirements

   35 Divination

   Ironman rewards

   • Divination XP per cache (up to 100 points per cache)

   • Diviner’s outfit pieces (0.5% per point scored, only pieces you don’t own)
