Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 40 Smithing and gives 340 Smithing XP, using 2 × Adamant bar. Where the materials come from: Adamant bar (made with 40 Smithing). Making ten takes 20 × Adamant bar and gives 3,400 Smithing XP. Reaching level 40 Smithing takes 37,224 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 1 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Adamant mattock is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 540 coins, which is 8,460 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
