Ironman Craftsman Without Crafting?

Completion of IC-C
(Or so the Germans would have us believe)


General Information​

As far as I am aware, I am the first person to have completed this absurdly obscure and difficult challenge that Crokee himself was not sane enough to try.

A little bit of background about the challenge: Ironman Craftsman Minus Crafting, aka ic-c, was a challenge created by The Flower many updates ago that forced the player to play on ironman and craftsman gamemodes but restrict their ability to level gatherings and professions to none at all.

Following these rules, the only items available to use are those with "Quest Item" tags of which there are surprisingly few number of. Starting with the creeper mask and working up to an endgame build of only Abysso Galoshes, Purified Helmet of the Legends, and Elemental Training Spear, this challenge caused me to rack up over 500 deaths over the course of multiple months.

As a small disclaimer, ironman players are not able to receive any healing, benefit from major IDs, or benefit from scrolls from other players. Along with this, mob drops require 90% or so damage to be dealt by the ironman to drop an item and boss altars also require this much to count as content book completion.

As another small disclaimer, this challenge is impossible to complete without the use of very specific and limited bugs that have no practical use outside of this challenge. I will obviously not be sharing them publicly but do want to acknowledge they do in fact exist but are not game breaking exploitable mechanics.

How Is This Even Possible To Complete?​

The completion of the challenge relies heavily on the use of discombobulate which provides significant boosts to elemental damage and pets to keep the discombobulate level of enemies very high, even while running away to regenerate health. Health sustain is obtained from Everlasting tomes and rich healing potions are pretty much required for every endgame battle.

With all of this being said, the completion is not a true 1072 but rather a completion of all content that follows the rules of the challenge. Gathering mini quests and a very small selection of non combat related quests that give/require profession xp are not counted into this completion. I will explain this more in the video proof of the completion. I have managed to obtain a content book progress of 967 (90%) without leveling any professions or gatherings.

Last note: If anyone completes this whole challenge on hardcore without dying you win my entire net-worth

 

You are clinically insane

i thought that gathering was allowed?

 

aight bet

 

Just so you are aware, I have done testing and theorized how it would be possible with other people and it has been calculated to be completely impossible. The precision that is required throughout every fight in the playthrough it not something a human is capable of achieving. I have managed to get to level 86 twice before dying. 105+ is absolutely possible but things like Hive and AHC require such perfect play to not die that doing it first try even with practice on other classes is statistically impossible.

 

yeah but i'm fucken ballin

 

real​

 

Needs Powerwolf.
This is probably the most insane playthrough I've seen yet.

 

Yeah no thanks I’m not THAT masochist enough.

When naked IC-C?????????

 

Just double checked, Mining Cessation, and therefore the SE Ultimate are doable without any profs on the class you get the discovery on. I perceive falsehood.

(Also gg how tf did you do Qira I thought that was like near impossible from my tries)

 

Updated, I have completed both. Thanks for letting me its possible

 

You should probably edit the thread now then.

 

Yeah ill re record the completion video later today. I changed the explanations to not include it anymore for now. Thanks for reminder
