hey guys what's going on it's Paul andI'm going to try to keep this short and sweet because this could really easilyget out of hand basically a dead man mode starter guide has been requestedfrom me a lot so I decided to put one together it's not for the professionalthat knows exactly what he's doing every time it's just for the Casual playerthat you know doesn't usually go into Deadman mode with a plan so this is amelee based guide so if you plan on being a ranger or major the first day orso you might want to put that to the side and this is intended for peoplethat are starting on day one right when
it is released so you can get this stuffdone all right let's get into to it now dead man mode day one is all about speedand efficiency so you want to get things done as fast as you can so when you'reon tutorial Island you talk to this NPC called Skippy and you can actually skipthe entire tutorial Island there's way too many people on dead man mode that gothrough the entire tutorial and they're wasting valuable valuable minutes somake sure you talk to him and you can spawn in one of five locations for thisguide you're going to spawn in verac now when you spawn in verac you want to runstraight East to the East Bank bank
everything except for your food itemswhich are your shrimp and bread that you started with run to the number three onthe map which is going to be where you're going to pickpocket from a man tolevel five thieving and then run to the number four on the north side of thestall you're going to steal at least 8 T if you do this instantly when dead menmode is released you can get away with even less because there's going to be alot of people doing the stronghold of security at the same time so from thereonce you get your at you're going to go straight to Barbarian Village to thewest and do the stronghold of security
while you're on your way there this is agood time to protect your stats the ones that I would suggest for this guide isattack HP agility thieving and crafting those three are saved because you'regoing to need them for questing later on early in the game and attack as themailer you're going to save because it's going to be by far the highest onceyou're done with this Quest sequence for this guide you're going to do the firstsecond and third floor of the stronghold to get the 10K GP remember you're nothome teleporting out for this guide you're going to head back to Vero soyou're going to go through the ladders
and go back to Barbarian Village uh youcan pause the guide here if you need to look at thismap once you're done with the stronghold you're going to head to the verac staffshop now remember on dead men mode you want to keep your run energy at least50% or higher at all times especially on day one what I suggest is at least 75%just in case you run into a p because this is an area on day one that peoplelike to PK if you start right when it comes out you're not going to have aproblem with pkers once you get back to
verac you want to buy a fire staff fromthe staff shop you want to run down to the sword shop and buy an Addie swordyou want the short sword because it's a little bit cheaper and it's very similarin DPS as the long sword if it's not in stock you can get away with the longsword here though and then you want to go to the Rune shop and you want to buythree fine packs six air packs one Earth pack and one water pack you can buy afire pack if you need to but remember for the first day you're pretty muchgoing to have the fire staff on at all times after you're done opening theseyou can home teleport to lumbridge now
from here you're going to walk to Portserm which is denoted by the one on the map you can actually stop at drainerVillage on the way and if you have enough money buy a Chronicle and atleast one or two teleports but you don't want to buy all 10 because you needmoney for travel uh in the next sequences so at least leave yourselfwith about 1,200 GP if if you're going to buy the chronicle end teleports ormake sure you're going to thieve something in ardun uh to make money backif you're going to buy all all 10
teleports that you can per day uh justremember the more time that you spend thieving the less time that you're goingto have to get through the sequence as quick as you can and as I said at thebeginning dead man mode is all about speed once you get to portum you want totake the ship to karamja which is going to cost you 30 GP from there you'regoing to take the charter ship to brim Haven which is 200 GP and then fromthere you're going to take the the uh
ship to ardun which is also 30 GP if youdo it this way it costs you about 260 GP as opposed to chartering from Port serimwhich will probably cost you I think around 1,200 it's a lot more expensiveso you definitely want to do it this way and it's about as quick about aseffective when you get to ardun you want to th two inventories of cakes just soyou have some sort of food source go to the General Store buy two ropes and oneball of wool you only need one rope but I like to have an extra for some reasonthe ball of wool is for monkey manness
later on the Rope is for waterfall Questhit the North Bank deposit everything and bring out your bronze axe whichyou're going to need for trome Village your rope all runes that you have yourfood and coins you always want to keep coins on you and then go ahead and gothrough the waterfall Quest sequence mean meaning go to the number four onthe map and talk to Ala uh talk to the boy on the raft at number five and talkto Hadley at number six and then get the book and read it upstairs and then headto the trome Village let me go ahead and
stop here and before I get too into tothis I need to say this is not meant to be a replacement for a quest guide so itmay not have every bit of information that the the quest guide's going to havein it's more so meant for the player that has done this Quest once or twicebefore and might already know exactly what he's doing if you need it go aheadand pull up a quest guide so you can follow along with that but I like tolink up waterfall and Trum Village Quest together because you have to go to themaze anyways for waterfall so you might as well do Trum while you're here it's alittle bit quicker and you need to knock
out the uh trino Village Quest as earlyas you can in dead man mode before too many people get to the the card warlordum anyways you're going to get your six logs that you're going to need later onin the Quest at the number one go to the number two so you can get the pebblefrom the dungeon for waterfall Quest start trome Village at number three inthe center of the maze he's going to teleport you out of the Maze and then gotalk to Commander Monti again or excuse me for the first time give him the logsby talking to him again and then talk to
him one more time until he asks for thecoordinates from there you want to go up to number five on the map get thecoordinates from the three trackers the first one is at number five the secondone is west of him and the third one is south of him uh from there you want tofire the ballista uh to fire the ballista you don't actually have to payattention to any of the quest techs just go through 1 2 3 and four which are theonly options that there are until you get the right one once you fire theballista you want to go to number seven
climb over the broken wall go upstairssearch the chest and get the pebble and take that back to King balron whenyou're on the way back to King balen make sure you talk to Eloy to Quicktravel to the center of the Maze and then you want to head up to the uh tomaage the card warlord and you can do this on your own without a safe spotwithout using another player by simply just running out of his aggro rangeevery single time you hit him so you can do it solo uh unfortunately there mightbe other people doing this on dead man
mode they're going to troll You bytalking to the warlord and then they can grab Agro on it if they do that just doit back to them until and basically fight for it until you are able to killthem uh if you're lucky enough to get him there when no one else is then goodluck to you uh once you kill him bring the orbs back to King Boron and you'regoing to complete the quest then you can use the spirit tree to go to thebattlefield of kard at number four on the map to be a little bit quicker soyou don't to walk that distance uh from there you want to go to the North Artbank and deposit everything that you're
wearing and everything that's in yourinventory withdraw six earth air and water runes a rope Pebble andfood we're back on waterfall Quest so go to number one on the map to glarial'stomb and use the pebble on the tombstone after you drop your air runes waterrunes and Earth runes on the ground remember you need to do this in under 1minute u meaning getting the n and getting the amulet in under 1 minute soyou can get back to your runs before someone else Picks Them Up uh if youdon't know how to do this with 10 HP you
get in combat with a skeleton or a leveltwo rat and then you run past The Mosser giant so he can't attack you otherwiseyou're probably going to get koed because a m shank can hit a 14 once youget both of those go outside pick your runes back up and go to the waterfallItself by um taking the raft back down and using the Rope on the The Rock andthen the Rope on the um the tree make sure you're wearing the amulet when yougo in so you don't get washed out uh
grab your key go to the room that youneed to and use one Earth or one Rune on each pillar make sure you use theglarial's amulet on the Statue of glaro and use the ear on the Chalice tocomplete the quest from here exit the waterfall andrun to the Rd General Store at the Rd General Store you want to sell your mythseeds if there's more than 200 in there or even more than 100 maybe you don'twant to sell them there maybe you just want to hold them off until you get to adifferent General Store but that's going
to get you a little bit of GP sinceyou've used most of it already uh then you can go to the r uh gym shop whichnot many people seem to think of after they do this Quest you can sell yourdiamonds here for a decent amount of GP just keep in mind if you're going to buyyour own dragon long sword and dragon dagger later on in the game you mightwant to keep those cut diamonds personally I only go with a dragonScimitar and I don't typically bring a DDS around with me uh on the startingdead men mode days so I never really
worry about this and I like selling themfor the starting GP uh from here Spirit tree to The Gnome stronghold so you canstart training agility and start the Grand Tree Quest when you get to thetrom stronghold go ahead and start the Grand Tree Quest by talking to the kingdeposit everything at ne's bank and then withdraw your bark sample yourtranslation book fire staff gnome amulet all runes coins and food and then goahead and get 25 agility at the gome agility course uh this is so you cancomplete the um the grant tree Quest
from here you can walk to the fightArena Quest start point because you can't actually use the spirit treeswithout completing the uh you can't use the Grand Tree Spirit tree withoutcompleting the uh the Grand Tree Quest since you're going to walk to Hazel Meiryou can go ahead and complete the uh the fighter going to Quest um or at leastall of the steps until you go to hazir you're going to turn it in on the wayback just because it's it's more on the way um it's more efficient to do it thatway I guess uh so go ahead and talk to
lady seral to start it grab the the cardarmor and then run through the quest sequence which you can just read I won'tinsult your intelligence there's nothing that really stands out so I don't reallyneed to explain it after you've gotten thrown into the arena make sure you usethe Skeleton on the ground to safe spot the ogre and then talk to hrid and thenyou're G to get thrown back into the arena and again use the same safe spotto kill this the Scorpion and the bouncer uh you don't have to killGeneral kard it's a waste of time you don't have to do it to complete thequest so you can go ahead and leave the
door when you get to him from there goto Hazel Mir talk to him and he will give you the translation notes and thenyou're going to go ahead and talk to Lady Servo to to turn in the fighter ina quest go to Eloy at the trome Village uh quick travel to the middle and thenuse the trome Village Spirit tree to tell you back to the Grand uh GrandTree when you get back to the trome stronghold you're going to go Ahad andtalk to the King go to glow up the ladder and talk to him and then you'regoing to go back to the king uh before
you have to go to the fourth floor andtalk to Charlie uh on the way to the fourth floor you can actually stop atthe second floor and buy multiple items that you're going to need later on forquesting uh you can buy Quest items here that you're going to need for plagueCity quest uh that you're going to need for recipe for disaster and for deathPlateau but you don't really have to if you don't plan on questing later on uhjust something that might save you some time later on so you don't have to goaround collecting supplies uh go to the fourth floor and talk to Charlie andthen go back to Glow's house and search
the cupboard and there you're going toget arrested and thrown in the jail next to Charlie the king's going to come upand uh release you and tell you to use the glider to go to theshipyard so after taking the glider run east to the shipyard click on the gateand talk through the sequence I think the uh the talk sequence is one two2 uhto give them the password kumin which is the first option second option secondoption is what I mean by that uh go ahead and kill the foreman and take thelumber order you can talk to him through
the sequence that the quest guide tellsyou but I find it faster to just kill him and then use the charter ships to goto brim Haven which is going to cost you 200 GP and then use the boat from brimHaven to ardun for 30 GP from there go to the battlefield of kard to the westand use the spirit tree to get back to the gnome stronghold as quick as you canwhen you get back to the gnome stronghold talk to the king uh and thengo talk talk to Charlie on the fourth floor again he's going to tell you to goto ano which is number three on the map and get the key uh for Glow's house goto Glow's house from there and use the
key on the chest you have to actuallyuse the key you can't just click on the chest uh and then go back to the kingtalk to him and he's going to give you the twoo sticks from there go to Glow'shouse and click on the tree to go upstairs another level use the sticks inthat order Tu zoo and then safe spot Mage the demon uh by running downstairsnow when you when you go down this trap door make sure you don't click onanything just hold down the space bar if you click on anything it's going to kickyou out of it and it's going to make you
do it again uh for some reason it messesup the uh the game somehow uh but anyways you can use the rocks to theSouth or the um the hallway area to the west to safe spot the demon only use thehallway if you have multiple people because you'll get PJ by the bat umyou're going to take one hit if you safe spot at the Rocks to the South if you doit correctly and that's definitely what I recommend after you kill the demon goto number eight on the map and talk to the king and then search all thedifferent Roots around until you find
the deonia rock uh make sure you wait acouple ticks after you click each one because if you if you go through it tooquickly it won't actually give it to you in your inventory uh then turn in thequest at King narode now at this point in dead man mode Ilike training up straight for the Warriors Guild so I can get in there andstart working on my dragon defender on day one as everyone knows on dead manmode you really need to knock this out as early as you can otherwise there'sgoing to be Clans that lock out the Warriors Guild later on so I do thesestarting quests just so I get the pr Rex
for monkey madness out of the way and umthe other two quests waterfall and fight Arena are just easy to do on the way soyou might as well just knock them out real quick they're not absolutelynecessary anyways to get up to 6565 which is what I like going for forWarriors Guild uh I typically try to train at Hill Giants so I can get my 43prayer along the way um because you will have enough big bones to get it beforeyou get to 6565 you can choose any sort
