Hi, Jagex released a new game mode called "deadman mode" and it is a very brutal game mode, you lose half your experience in un-protected skills if dead and also 28 most valuable items from your bank. You can store 10 items in a safe box in a bank and protect 2 combat skills and 3 non-combat skills.

I am gonna protect hitpoints and ranged for combat. Other skills I'll protect is agility for run energy, slayer and thieving.

The exp rate is 5x than the normal.

In this topic you can see my progress for entertainment / education (if you also play the game mode then you can follow my steps) As I achieve my goals I'll upload pictures throughout the progress and if you also play deadman mode, feel free to add me ingame: shebman

If I find the game mode fun and feel like I am getting somewhere, I'll also upload commentary progress videos on this game mode.

Got my agility to 40.
Got my thieving to 47, made some decent money stealing silks and selling them all for 20k.
Bought some ranged supplies from the store in varrock, gonna train ranged on cows for cowhides (need 18 crafting for quest) til 30 then go kill green dragons with a bone crossbow.
Need 31 prayer to bless a mithril axe to a blessed axe. So that's why I'll go kill green dragons, I'll use the bones on the ectofontus to gain prayer experience.

why don't you save magic since it requires so much more resources to level up again if you die?

The reason why I chose ranged instead of mage is because ranged is more powerful, most of the players ingame use ranged armour which has high magic defence so using fire strike on them wont be good, there isn't alot of melee players ingame as it's 3 stats, and you can only protect 1 of them.

Magic is also harder to train than ranged as it requires alot of runes which is expensive, ranged in the other hand is much cheaper and it will get me to a high level with just a bone crossbow (2000gp), it uses bone bolts (7gp) and it's as strong as a magic shortbow. And I also want to use the toxic blowpipe / dark bow in the future as a signature weapon, mage doesn't have any signature weapon, the trident of swamp is decent but not as good as bp / db.

I'll probably train my magic to 55 to use the spell snare / bind to freeze them and then slaughter them with ranged.

Magic fast as hell to train back because you get cast XP even if you hit 0.
