    It finally happened. I finally beat zakum solo! Got inspired by @Joong 's run yesterday.

    Here's me mid-2nd body. Mobs are a pally's best friend in zakum. 2nd and 3rd body were the easy parts. 1st body was tough because of the boogies that i had to watch out for. Arms took about 90 mins, and the entire run took around 3 hours and 20 minutes.

    Final drops were 3 helmets, sparta, angelic betrayal, 5k card, and dimon wand. I kept the first helmet I picked up.

    Pretty good for a first helmet :D

    I used gelts for 90% of the run and 22 stoppers for the curse arm. I saved up 50 gelts for this run, using only 18. I'm quite happy with myself.

    All current and future Ironmen! Let this be motivation to keep the grind going! Most of you are very capable of beating zakum. It just takes time and dedication!

    Goals:
    -Quest Specialist
    -Boss
    Still not sure what class I should be. I want to boss but don't want to wash, so probably a hero. But I need some form of mobbing skill for Quest Specialist.

    Unfortunately we're full at the moment. We're currently working on adding another ironman branch in the alliance. I hope to have that completed soon.

    IGN: Telegram (with an L), intending to make a DrK (cos I'm a sucker for high HP without washing too many times, and also because it's about time I tried a warrior class)

    Created a new account just for Ironman...let's hope I survive being self-reliant. :)

    The Ironman guild has been expanded! We now have a new branch added to our alliance, named Lronman, of course. With another 100 slots added, any new recruits will be added to the new branch!

    Got a great pair of +6 DEX boots from a wild boar, then threw a 10% dex scroll on them and passed first try!
    No telling how long I'll be wearing these bad boys.
    Also, J> Guild!

    So far I'm really enjoying Ironman -- no stress from wanting to level fast, wanting to be well funded, wanting to HP/MP wash. Everything is just chill and easy. For once I felt a sense of achievement when I earned my first million mesos.

    I hope more people will join Ironman and experience the true will of self-reliance.

    Felt like I should show off all of my Ironmen for the 1000th post on this thread.

    First up is my main, TheTrashman!
    Frank.PNG
    He's a 154 paladin, currently holding a 128/9 crushed skull and 7att crossheider shield. It took me 1.5 years to solo zakum for the first time. All that gelt chocolate farming paid off!

    Second is my 104 dragon knight, TheGoldenGod!
    Dennis.PNG
    His current weapons are a 111 att purple snowboard and a 109 att omega spear, since he's running a hybrid build. I'm really enjoying playing drk and hope to get him to 120 soon.

    Third is my level 21 pirate, RonMacDonald!
    Mac.PNG
    I don't actively train him, he's mostly meant for being the low level at GPQ. I wouldn't have it any other way, since he can do his backflips for the rest of his life.

    Fourth is my level 60 beginner, CharlieKelly!
    Charlie.PNG
    With a total of 369 quests completed, I've managed to get near level 61 already, and hopefully continue training him soon. He currently holds a 226 att maroon mop!

    Fifth is my 110 sniper, DeeReynolds!
    Dee.PNG
    I got very lucky when making this character as she's my first ironman to get 10 att gloves and my first character ever to get a yellow scrolled item, which is her current weapon! She currently wields a 118 att Yellow Crow, which had every scroll succeed on it! She is indeed my luckiest ironman to date. She's got quite the flock following her wherever she goes!

    Lastly, and not actually related to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is my level 70 crusader, ArcticEdge!
    ArcticEdge.PNG
    I'm building his style around a lonely knight traversing the frozen wilderness. His color scheme is meant to stay mostly gray/black with minimal NX to show off armor, and equally aesthetically pleasing weapons. My end-game weapons combination is planned for a Fraute (level 90 1h sword) and either a Silver Kalkan or Blue Hoflon shield.

    These are all my current ironmen to date. Even though only one of them is currently 4th job, I plan to change that very soon and will keep grinding to ensure every one of them gets to at least 100+, including my beginner. Thanks for reading and I want to say I'm very happy seeing all of the new Ironman recruits showing up! It really brightens my day seeing everyone online and I hope you all have as much fun as I do with this challenge!

    Quick update from me, I just got to level 158! It's been fun keeping my progression going. I failed assassinate 30 twice, which was a huge bummer. Smokescreen is at 16/20 and I made it over 7.9k hp. Things are looking good, but I just wish gach wasn't so shitty to me :^)
