We're really missing an important Ironman mode.

Currently, we have two Ironman modes: Normal and Ultimate. Normal Ironman allows the player to use the character's ten bank pages, while Ultimate Ironman limits the player to only their inventory and the ingredient pouch, which acts as a "backback." We need an Ironman mode that lets the player share between all their characters in this mode. I will call it "Softcore Ironman" to help visualize it.

Let me explain. Imagine you are on your Softcore Ironman Mage, and you happen to find a cool Assassin weapon. You can put it in your Softcore Ironman bank, which is a completely separate bank from your standard account bank. This bank is inaccessible to your standard characters and your other Ironman modes. Only Softcore Ironman characters can access this bank. This special bank works as a bridge between all your Softcore Ironman characters. Of course, these characters cannot interact with the normal bank.

Why do we need this?
Some players might enjoy finding a rare item and thinking, "hmm, how could I slot this into a build?" Because of Wynncraft's class system, an Ironman character with the current gamemodes would simply be unable to use lots of weapons they find. Got an Idol on your Shaman? More like an Idol-shaped paperweight. Players who both enjoy no trade gamemodes in games like this and enjoy building up one big account bank unfortunately do not currently have this outlet in Wynncraft. This gamemode would be optional, of course. and if both other Ironman modes are kept, those who enjoy those modes will not be affected at all. The only people this addition would affect are those who would want to play it, and it would have zero impact on other players or the economy.

Let's take a look at a game that already did this.
Path of Exile is similar to Wynncraft in that it has an item-based economy revolving around item drops and their rolls, and the player can find and transfer items between their characters. If a player does not wish to engage with the overarching economy between other players, they can choose the *Solo Self Found* mode, which disables trading. What makes Solo Self Found different from Wynncraft's Ironman modes is, of course, that every character shares the account's Solo Self Found bank. An example of how I personally used this feature and had lots of fun with it was when I had three different characters in endgame I was shuffling item drops between. Playing as my Pathfinder Archer, I could still actively hunt for staves and other armor for my spellcaster while taking loot for the archer. It gave a way for my Solo Self Found characters to engage and interact with each other, and it made me want to really collect resources, currency, and rare gear to build up my overarching Solo Self Found account.

As a conclusive TLDR, Wynncraft could really use a "Softcore Ironman" mode where the player's characters can share items with each other, like a separate account bank only accessible through this mode. Think of how Path of Exile's Solo Self Found mode works. It could be an additional gamemode without needing to remove or replace the other Ironman modes and, of course, be fully optional. Because no, before it's suggested, I don't want to rebuy Minecraft and Champion rank just to artificially simulate this on a separate account. I play with friends and would like to have a trade storage as well, and I'm sure many people who would want this type of mode are in a similar boat.

 

Kind of feels like an unnecessary addition. Plus, If you make all your characters "softcore Ironman", you'd have no downsides and all the upsides of the pouch becoming an extra inventory.
I just don't see it being worth the effort to implement. There's already 2 ironman versions, a third seems pushing it— especially when that third has zero difference from normal ironman UNLESS you have another "softcore Ironman" profile

 

lest we forget, wynn is a minecraft mod, by pure definition

 

...
This defeats the point of ironman, which is to complete the game without help or items from other players. Ultimate Ironman exists to fulfill the original implementation of Ironman and transform it into an inventory-management gamemode. If you could access the account bank, you could and collect stuff on other classes and skip fights and just give it to the Ironman class. You make an Ironman class KNOWING that if you find something good but can't use it, you won't be able to.

 

A one way item transfer off of ironman to a regular class would be cool though

 

maybe

 

Or yk ... just make a normal character if you are worried about the loot not being on an iron

 

...
huh?

 

I'm not sure what was confusing there

 

i said maybe to someone's suggestion, and you gave me a suggestion about what to do that i couldn't parse the meaning of
also I don't get notifs when you quote me for some reason.
