Choosing your mode.
Runesaga has a selection of games modes from from normal to challenge mode ironman.
Upon choosing your desired mode you can not swap from normal mode to challenge mode so make sure to choose wisely, although ironmen can convert in to normal mode but cannot convert back to ironman once this has been completed.
Normal mode:
Normal mode and normal ironman mode includes 250x experience rate for combat and 50x experience rate for skilling.
This is the fastest experience mode on Runesaga however you do miss out on the 5% Crit and 5% Luck chance.
Challenge mode:
Challenge mode and challenge ironman mode includes 30x experience rate for combat, 20x experience rate for skilling with an addition of +5% Crit Chance and +5% Luck chance.
Limiting yourself to lower experience rates greatly benefits you with a reward of Crit and Luck chance for your extra efforts.
After deciding which route you would like to take press confirm and your character will begin to walk towards the Runesaga Guide.
