Paul and Adam the Iron Man tutors are found on Tutorial Island and Lumbridge respectively, with the latter denoted by the map icon on the minimap.

Paul on Tutorial Island can change the player's Iron Man status freely until they leave Tutorial Island, and Adam in Lumbridge can provide players with Ironman armour, hardcore ironman armour, and ultimate ironman armour depending on which, if any, status they had set their account to with Paul. Adam can also downgrade a player's Ironman status, such as changing from an Ultimate Ironman to a standard Ironman.

Using a jar of souls on Adam will initiate a dialogue in which he will claim that he has been looking for souls, and takes one out of the jar.

The player may also choose to create a Group Ironman with other players when selecting their Ironman status. Paul will then instruct the player to continue to the tutorial and visit The Node.

Treasure Trails

Iron Man tutor (Adam) is the solution to the medium cipher clue: HQNM LZM STSNQ. He will present the player a challenge scroll asking, "How many snakeskins are needed in order to craft 44 boots, 29 vambraces and 34 bandanas?", the answer to which is 666.
