Do you have a brand new Ironman account and want to start Wintertodt as soon as possible? We got you covered. Here’s a helpful guide that will provide you with the most efficient way to reach the requirements for Wintertodt as soon as possible.
Pickpocketing Men & Women In Lumbridge
You will first want to pickpocket Men & Women to reach until you have 230 GP. Out of all the items you have in your inventory, you will only really need your tinderbox, coins, and your bronze axe.
Moreover, make sure to head to your options menu and click on your joystick. From there, toggle the hidden option for the NPC Attack Option. This will prevent you from attacking NPCs as you pickpocket them.
You can pickpocket the level 2 men in the game once you get off Tutorial Island. From there, you will have to do a total of 69 pickpockets to get yourself from 25 GP to 230 GP.
Chopping Trees and Fire-Making
Once you’ve reached 230 GP, you can now prioritize reaching 50 fire-making. To start, go to Bob’s and get a steel axe from there, which you will use to chop trees for. It’s highly recommended to get the steel axe or better for faster chopping rates.
Now, start chopping trees and light the logs on fire until you reach 50 firemaking. In addition, you can find regular trees, oak trees, and willow trees to chop in Lumbridge or Draynor Village.
Get a Shovel and Teleport To Castle Wars
You will also have to visit the Castle Wars bank to obtain four pieces of warm clothing for Wintertodt. But before anything else, you will have to first head over to the shed located in Lumbridge Swamp to get a spade.
Next, go to the minigame teleports and go to Castle Wars.
Getting the Clue Hunter Outfit(Warm Clothing)
The fastest winter clothing pieces you can obtain from here are the clue hunter pieces, which you can dig up with a spade. You can collect various clue hunter pieces from their corresponding locations:
Clue Hunter Cloak: Found between two willow trees at the south-eastern portion of Yanille
Clue Hunter Trousers: Nearby the entrance of Pothole Dungeon, situated at the northern area of Tai Bwo Wannai
Clue Hunter Garb: Located at the north-eastern part of Shayzien minecart station
Clue Hunter Gloves and boots: Found beside an oak tree at the southwestern region of the Fishing Guild
Somewhere between your trip in Ardougne, you can start thieving at the bakery stalls, specifically the one located east of the Marketplace. The main goal is to get as many cakes as possible from the stall. Ideally, you can get around 500 cakes, which will cover you until 99 firemaking.
When stealing cakes, it’s best to stand on top of the cake seller. You’ll never get caught by guards or the seller at all.
You could also just complete the stronghold of security for 10k and buy 800+ pineapples from the Trader Stans Trading Posts Ports NPC’s and slice them and that should last you to at least 90 firemaking at wintertodt.
You will need to use the dock to get yourself to where one of the clue hunter clothing pieces is located. In addition, you will need the 30 GP for the fair when you visit the dock. Once you reach the dock, talk to Captain Barnaby to bring you to Brimhaven, where the trousers are located.
Visit Great Kourend
After collecting all your clothes for Wintertodt, you can now return to Lumbridge. Go to Port Sarim, which is just west of Lumbridge. Visit the southernmost dock in the eastern area to talk to Veos to take you to Great Kourend.
You don’t have to pay a fair to Veos to reach Great Kourend. Once you get there, you can proceed to Wintertodt from Piscarilius House docks and use your minimap as a guide to get to Wintertodt.
On regular servers, you can expect to do up to ten games per hour in Wintertodt. It will take up to fifty hours before you can reach level 99.
Other Helpful Tips
If you started the game during the Christmas or Easter events, you could simply skip getting the clue hunter outfits and the 30 GP. You can just do the stated events to obtain other outfits for Wintertodt. After all, you can use either the Chicken or Santa outfit for Wintertodt since they also work well as winter clothing pieces.
Once you get to Wintertodt, make sure to bring plenty of food with you to avoid dying once your HP becomes low.
