Independent Bronzeman field guide

Less-obvious Bronzeman behavior

Plain-English notes about rules and limitations that may not be obvious while playing.

Current behavior: Bronzeman TCG 0.3.2 on the Plugin Hub.

The current release is pinned to revision 5cd1a7fa. Its gameplay restrictions are unchanged from the 0.3.1 rule baseline at d6bbdace, so Skill Access results did not need a rule-data rewrite.

Why this page exists

OSRS TCG Tools is built to reflect Bronzeman's observed card logic as accurately as possible. Some rules depend on a specific setting, action path, quest state, or item you are carrying. This page explains those details without treating every strict rule or missing entry as a confirmed bug.

Released V1 rule update

What changed in Bronzeman 0.3.1

Version 0.3.1 moved restrictions to live V1 parent-card identities, corrected Coins ownership, changed Cooking and Thieving filters, exempted Veos and the Ironman tutor from onboarding locks, and added the missing Crashed Star / Mine → Stardust rule. Those gameplay rules remain current in 0.3.2.

Current release

What Bronzeman 0.3.2 adds

Version 0.3.2 adds safer, profile-scoped controls for importing, wiping and restoring Bronzeman's saved Beta snapshot. It previews matched and unmatched names, accepts current and legacy OSRS TCG save formats up to 16 MiB, and keeps a previous snapshot available for one-step restore. These controls do not edit the official OSRS TCG collection or save.

The release also restores Fish chunks to the Beta panel's historical-name presentation. That correction does not add a gameplay restriction or change the frozen legacy snapshot positions.

Current cards only

Ground actions that the reviewed build does not re-check

These cards remain requirements in OSRS TCG Tools. The current Bronzeman build can technically bypass the restriction through the exact ground action shown, so use that route at your own discretion. No-card findings are retained privately for future catalogue reviews and are not shown here.

Bury

The inventory Bury route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Bury on the dropped card is not checked.

Bull bones

Crush

The inventory Crush route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Crush on the dropped card is not checked.

Smouldering heartSmouldering gland

Eat-from

The inventory Eat-from route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Eat-from on the dropped card is not checked.

Smouldering pile of flesh

Lay

The normal trap or Item Usage check can require the card, but dropping the trap and choosing Lay is not checked.

Bird snareBox trapRabbit snare

Light

The inventory route can require the locked log card through Item Usage, but dropping the log and choosing Light is not checked. The Tinderbox rule still applies where Bronzeman has a covered recipe.

A note from the site owner

Observed behavior is not proof of intent

I built these tools to support my own Bronzeman playthrough with my GIM. When testing reveals a reproducible issue, I make my best effort to share the evidence I collected with the developers.

Because I am not affiliated with Bronzeman TCG or OSRS TCG, I am never completely certain whether an inconsistency is a bug, an accepted limitation, or an intentional rule unless the developer has said so. Where this site calls something a possible bug, that is my evidence-based interpretation when the behavior appears to conflict with other plugin handling or developer documentation—not a statement of developer intent. I also cannot promise that anything I report will be changed or fixed.
