A Runescape player has managed to maximise every skill in one🉐 of the MMO’s most grind-intensive modes, a world first eight years in the making. 

As flagged by Jake Lucky on , level♑ling each skill to its limit in Runescapre’s Iron Man mode means earning 200 million experience points across 23 different skills &nd🦩ash; like attack, defence, magic, and so on. 

Essentially, anything and everything that’s remotely convenient from regular Runes𓆏cape is given the boot,🐼 and you need to get every resource yourself. So it's no wonder it took eight years for Iron Hyger to emerge as the mode’s first truly max-level player. 

Runescape's leading iron man even caught the attention of developer Jagex, too, who posted the followin🐎g message in-game: "Congratulations, Iron Hyger, for being the first Iron Player to hit 200 million in every skill. Now you can finally play the game!"

Outside of Runescape's Iron Man mode, it's been a busy time for the game elsewhere, too. Runescape 𓆏Fresh Start Worlds wasn't warmly embraced at launch but was soon made 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"better for all players" – not that it stopped Old School Runescape players from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:smuggling gold into Fresh Starꩵt🐎 Worlds and immediately getting banned everywhere.

Elsewhere, these Old School Runescape players claimed a record 16 billion gold bounty after a PvP stakeout 600 days in the making.
