Make Ironman Quest Medal & Ring Account-Wide
Posted by bakla
KuroMS Suggestions discussion with 5 posts about Make Ironman Quest Medal & Ring Account-Wide.
I'd like to suggest making Ironman quest medal and ring account-wide, allowing them to be shared across all characters (whether another ironman and non-ironman character) on the same account. At the moment, Ironman mains who want to reroll or try a different class (whether another Ironman or even a non-Ironman character) have to redo all the quests and monster card collections from scratch. This creates a significant barrier to experimenting with new classes, especially with upcoming releases like Pathfinder and future classes. I understand the original design philosophy behind Ironman-that each Ironman character should be self-sufficient and progress independently. However, I don't think quest completion and monster card collection meaningfully contribute to that philosophy. They are largely repetitive progression hurdles rather than challenges that reinforce the Ironman experience. Truth be told - everyone who has gone all the way to max out the quest medal and ring has already done it the hard way once (buddy system aside), so please allow the sync. Restricting the sharing of resources, equipment, and mesos already preserves the core identity and difficulty of Ironman. Making medals and rings account-wide would reduce unnecessary repetition while still maintaining the integrity of the game mode. This change would encourage existing Ironman players to explore new classes instead of feeling discouraged by having to repeat the same lengthy questlines and card farming every time.

The Problem Currently, creating a new Ironman character (such as the new Pathfinder, or future classes like Dual-Blade) requires completely re-doing the 800-quest and 333-card loop to obtain the Ironman quest medal and ring. Tedious Loop : Forcing players to repeat this massive grind on every new alt is tedious and discourages trying new classes. Flawed Progression & Gated Power : Solo Ironman players are currently hard-capped at a +16 ring. This is because certain cards have been completely removed from the game. Meanwhile, regular players can use the Buddy System to share duplicates, stack progress, and easily reach a maxed-out ring. Under the current system, Ironman players are permanently disadvantaged through no fault of their own. The Solution Make the Quest Medal and Ring progression account-wide, but strictly locked behind specific character types to preserve the integrity of the Ironman challenge. Solo Ironman to Solo Ironman Only: Progression should only transfer to a new character if it was originally completed on a 100% Solo Ironman character, entierly avoid the buddy system. Strict Restrictions: To prevent abuse, this shared progression must strictly exclude Group Ironman players (who have access to the Buddy System) and regular players. Why This Helps the Game This change respects the core philosophy of Solo Ironman by ensuring the achievement is still earned entirely without help. However, it removes a redundant, broken grind, allowing dedicated Ironman players to freely enjoy new class releases without feeling penalized. https://playkuro.com/forums/suggestions/ring-26-861

thanks just one edification - it shouldn’t exclude group ironman, as they are ironman too and would be restricted the same way as a solo ironman (and dont think group ironman is eligible for buddy system either)

I haven't tested it with the Group Ironman yet, but the whole Buddy Buddy System is flawed as well. Having the ability to surpass things that ironman aren't able to get, moreover duplicated quest and cards. defeats the whole purpose of the the medal/ring as a feat/achievement.

upvoted, ironman medal and monster book should count for the whole account, I agree being forced to doing 800 quests again would be hell on earth to me, took me 3 days, and monster book is only good for now because of 26 event, afterwards the bosses will be a headache, and not like currently the bosses aren't a headache some of them spawn once every few hours or maybe even once a day I don't know.
