For Ironman players in Old School RS (OSRS), obtaining an Amulet of Glory is a significant milestone. Its high teleport charges and decent combat stats make it a valuable piece of gear. However, acquiring one is no small feat due to the restrictions Ironman mode imposes on trading and player interaction. In this guide, we'll explore the three main methods Ironmen can use to get their hands on an Amulet of Glory: crafting it from scratch, hunting Dragon Implings, and obtaining a Glory (t) from Treasure Trails. Each option has its unique challenges, requirements, and advantages, so let’s dive into the details.

Option 1: Crafting from Scratch

Crafting an Amulet of Glory is the most direct route, but it comes with a high skill requirement. Here's what you need to know about this method:

·Skill Requirements: To craft a Dragonstone Amulet, you'll need 80 Crafting. Additionally, enchanting the amulet requires level 68 Magic.

·Materials Needed: Creating an Amulet of Glory requires a Dragonstone, which can be obtained from the Rare Drop Table or by using a Crystal Key to open the crystal chest in Taverley. You will also need a gold bar and a ball of wool.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Obtain a Dragonstone: The most common method is to use Crystal Keys (made by combining tooth and loop halves) to open the crystal chest in Taverley. Alternatively, Dragonstones can be found as rare drops from certain monsters.

2. Craft the Amulet: Use a gold bar and a Dragonstone on a furnace to craft an unstrung Dragonstone amulet.

3. String the Amulet: Use a ball of wool on the unstrung amulet to string it.

4. Enchant the Amulet: Use the Enchant Level-5 Jewellery spell (level 68 Magic) to turn the strung Dragonstone amulet into an Amulet of Glory.

Pros and Cons:

• Pros: This method is reliable and guarantees the amulet once you meet the requirements and gather the materials.

• Cons: The main challenge is the high crafting level required, which can take significant time and resources for Ironman players to achieve. Gathering the materials for leveling Crafting, such as gold ore or gems, can also be a grind. However, once you reach the level, crafting multiple amulets becomes easy.

Overall, if you already have a high Crafting level or are willing to put in the time to grind for it, this method is a surefire way to obtain an Amulet of Glory without relying on RNG.

Option 2: Hunting Dragon Implings

Hunting Dragon Implings offers a viable alternative for Ironmen who don’t have the Crafting level to make their amulets. This method requires venturing into Puro-Puro, a special area dedicated to impling hunting.

• Skill Requirements: To catch Dragon Implings, you'll need at least 83 Hunter.

• Location: Dragon Implings can be found in Puro-Puro, accessible by entering a crop circle in any wheat field (randomly spawning) or through the permanent crop circle in Zanaris. In Puro-Puro, players can find a variety of implings to catch, including Dragon Implings.

What You Can Get:

• Dragon Implings have a 1/19 chance to drop 3 Amulets of Glory when caught.

• Alternatively, they have a 1/19 chance to drop 2 Dragonstone Amulets, which can then be enchanted into Glories.

Tips for Hunting:

• While hunting Dragon Implings, it’s beneficial to catch other types of implings as well. Elnock Inquisitor, located in the center of Puro-Puro, allows you to trade lower-level implings for empty impling jars, ensuring you never run out of jars.

• Keep an eye out for competition, as Dragon Implings are sought after by many players, and their spawn rates are relatively low.

Pros and Cons:

• Pros: This method is less resource-intensive once you have the Hunter level, and it allows you to gather other valuable loot from different implings. It can be faster than leveling Crafting for those with high Hunter.

• Cons: The method is RNG-heavy, as you’re relying on the chance of encountering Dragon Implings and then hoping for a favorable drop. It may require a lot of time and OSRS gold spent in Puro-Puro without guaranteed results.

For players with the patience to hunt Dragon Implings and the required Hunter level, this method offers a potentially faster way to obtain an Amulet of Glory, alongside additional useful resources from impling loot.

Option 3: Glory (t) from Treasure Trails

The final method is obtaining an Amulet of Glory (t) through Hard Treasure Trails. This option is the least practical for directly targeting an Amulet of Glory, but it’s worth mentioning for those who might complete Hard Clue Scrolls as they progress in other activities.

• Skill Requirements: Hard Clue Scrolls themselves don’t have a fixed skill requirement, but completing the clues often requires various skills and combat capabilities.

• Rarity: The Amulet of Glory (t) is considered a rare reward from Hard Caskets, with a 1/1.625 chance per Casket slot to obtain it.

How to Obtain:

• Hard Clue Scrolls can be obtained from various high-level monsters, activities like Barrows, or even through resources like Slayer. Once obtained, players need to complete a series of clue steps, which may include puzzles, combat encounters, or finding specific items.

• Upon completing all the steps, the player will receive a Hard Casket, which may contain the Glory (t).

Pros and Cons:

• Pros: The Glory (t) has the same stats and teleport charges as the regular Amulet of Glory, making it functionally identical. It can be a great bonus reward if you’re already completing Hard Clues for other items.

• Cons: Due to the rarity of receiving a Glory (t) from a Hard Clue, this is not a recommended method to focus on for obtaining an Amulet of Glory. The process is extremely RNG-based, and the time required to complete Hard Clue Scrolls makes it inefficient for specifically targeting this item.

Players who enjoy the challenge of completing Hard Clues or want to pursue them alongside other goals may eventually find themselves rewarded with an Amulet of Glory (t). However, it’s not the most efficient path for Ironmen who want to acquire a Glory quickly.

Conclusion: Choosing the Best Method for Your Playstyle

Obtaining an Amulet of Glory as an Ironman in OSRS can be a challenging but rewarding process. Each of the three methods has its strengths and trade-offs, making the best choice highly dependent on your playstyle, skill levels, and preferences:

• Crafting: Ideal for those who have invested in Crafting and want a guaranteed result, though it requires significant time and resources to reach the required levels.

• Hunting Dragon Implings: A great choice for high-level Hunters who prefer a more adventurous approach and don’t mind the RNG factor.

• Treasure Trails: Best suited as a side activity or bonus reward, but not practical as a primary method.

By understanding the requirements and mechanics of each option, you can select the method that aligns best with your progression goals. Whether you're grinding out Crafting levels, catching rare implings in Puro-Puro, or taking your chances with Treasure Trails, your efforts will eventually be rewarded with the highly sought-after Amulet of Glory. Happy hunting, Ironmen!
